OS X firewall popup about growlnotify keeps popping up

I have autotest setup with growlnotify using growl_glue (version 1.0.7):

requir开发者_开发问答e 'growl_glue'
GrowlGlue::Autotest.initialize do |config|
  config.notification :use_network_notifications => true
end

growl version is 1.2

each time autotest runs and displays the notification growl popup I also get an OS X firewall popup asking Do you want the application "growlnotify" to accept incoming network connections?

I tried answering deny and allow but it still keeps popping up.

the deny/allow choice is properly reflected in System Preferences -> Security -> Firewall -> 'application access list', but it still asks every time.

update

I ended up using autotest-growl gem instead of the growl_glue. it fixed the problem, it was probably related to how growl_glue was calling growlnotify.

This worked for me:

• Type "which growlnotify" into terminal to find out where growlnotify is installed.

• Open System Preferences

• Click on Security padlocked house icon

• Click on Firewall

• Click on padlock and type password if necessary to unlock the configuration

• Click on Advanced... button

• Click on plus button.

• When the file picker comes up, type "/" to get a text box, then hit backspace.

• Paste in growlnotify's location.

• Click "Go" button

• Click "Add" button

• Click "OK" button

Did it work for you?

I had a similar problem with the Remote Desktop application. To fix it I trashed the folder located at /Contents/_CodeSignature inside the application package. I would try that for growl.

Here's the forum post where I found the solution back when I was troubleshooting it.
