Unexpected loss of permission on macOS

Describe the bug

I was in the process of fairly routine git activity and the Warp shell suddenly lost permission to access files and directories. A screenshot of the error message and failure to even run ls is below.

If I quit and restart, it works fine.

Sometimes sudden permission loss happens in the middle of running a program (in this case Python scripts driving an executable), which makes it crash.

To Reproduce

The last thing I did before the screenshot above was git push --force but sometimes the sudden permission loss happens in the middle of runnig a Python script.

Expected behavior

The shell should keep running with normal permissions.

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

No

Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)

Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Thanks for letting us know @markmbaum Please see our guides on the permissions and updating warp issues that could be affecting your permissions.

Let us know if those helped, if not, we will need a bit more information from you to reproduce this issue, most likely some Logs.

Ok thanks for the pointer. I haven't noticed any issues updating Warp, so I'll look into the other troubleshooting.

Same issue here.

SOLUTION: After a MacOS update, my standard terminal also didn't have access anymore for Full Disk Access in Privacy & Security. So make sure to check this.

Found any solution? Restarting wrap is the only thing I can find.

Running using sudo also won't work

I've also been getting this behavior. Over the past 2 - 3 weeks.

Hey Folks, We're noticing reports of this issue returning recently. We suspect it may be related to auto-updates to Warp. We're going to reopen, investigate further, and post any updates on this thread. As a possible workaround/stopgap measure, please apply and pending Updates to Warp. This should grant Warp the permissions again and resume normal functions.

Just happened to me. Shortly after "Update Warp" showed up in the toolbar.

Confirming I have been experiencing this and granting permissions to 'old' seems to have been the fix for me.
