Issues in 10.12 Sierra about dockutil HOT 8 CLOSED

+1 on this. It fails to add items too. No error messages produced. This is being called at login with a luanchagent.

from dockutil.

For extra data, I'm also unable to get dockutil to add or remove icons to the dock on 10.12. This is while a user is logged in. Reproducible at the command line with:

/usr/local/bin/dockutil --remove all

or

/usr/local/bin/dockutil --add '/Applications/Google Chrome.app'

Tested with the latest commit in master a41f90a

from dockutil.

However, this does work...

~ ❯ launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.Dock.plist
~ ❯ dockutil --add '/Applications/TextEdit.app'
~ ❯ launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.Dock.plist
~ ❯ launchctl start com.apple.Dock.agent

from dockutil.

After some investigation, I found that killing the dock with HUP signal does not work. Following command fails in 10.12
killall -HUP Dock

However, sending default SIGTERM does work.
killall Dock

from dockutil.

Better to use launchctl to load and unload so that you make your changes while the Dock is not running.

I like the idea of using launchctl, but for now I'll remove the HUP to get functionality back.

Thanks everyone.
