Can't import CSV data on Mac

Hi
I'm new here. I'm just getting started with RapidMiner.
I'm trying to import a csv file and clicking import csv doesn't do anything.
Am I missing something? I've followed tutorials and in them a wizard appears, which doesn't happen in my case.
The only three options that work are import access, database and binary.

    Well, I'm on 10.6.8 thus Java 6... Unresolvable as far as I know...

    Hi,

    I'm afraid if you do not have access to Java 7, you will either need to use RM 5.3.008, or update your OS to Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) for the imports to work correctly.

    Im having the same problem on a mountain lion with Java 7 (v25)
  • ReshmaReshma Member Posts: 4 Contributor I
    I'm on Mountain Lion and using RM 5.3.013. I have Java 7.

    I opened RM from inside the scripts folder by double clicking RapidMinerGUI.

    When the tool started the first time, I was not prompted for creating a new repository. I started a New Process and then created a new repository. If I try to import a .csv, I get nothing and there's not error messages either.

    Can someone help?!

    Hi,

    what does it say when you enter the following in your terminal? 

    java -version

    Hi March

    java version "1.6.0_43"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_43-b01-447-11M4203)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.14-b01-447, mixed mode)

    That's what  I see.

    Hi,

    so your Mac is not using Java 7 as the default JVM. Can you try the following:
    Go to your Java Preferences in the utilities, and change the order (drag) so Java 7 is at the top.
    Then run the terminal test again.

    Regards,
    Marco
  • ReshmaReshma Member Posts: 4 Contributor I
    Thanks Marco

    The funny thing is that in my java preferences under Java Runtime Environment Settings, I only see 1.7. The Java Control Panel is available in my System Preference and that means my system is using Java 7 (I think) but when I run the command Java -version in my terminal, it still returns:
    java version "1.6.0_43"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_43-b01-447-11M4203)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.14-b01-447, mixed mode)

    I am at a complete loss on forcing my system to use Java 7.

    It turns out when I installed Java 7 it didn't get rid of Java 6.  I had to get rid of Java 6 then reinstall java 7 then the program worked fine.

    Hi

     I am running RM 5.3.013 and OSX 10.8.5 and this feature still does not work????  I can not import CSV files.

    Any ideas????

    Hi,

    what does echo $JAVA_HOME say when you enter it in the terminal?

    Regards,
    Marco
  • ReshmaReshma Member Posts: 4 Contributor I
    Nothing is returned. It's blank.

    I suspect we need to set this in some type of profile?
  • KozmaKozma Member Posts: 1 Learner III
    Hi,

    The same thing happened to me. Two things got it working:

    Open the Java Preferences Utility (Applications > Utilities) and move Java 7 to the top. [This is different from the System Preferences, which, as you've seen, doesn't do any good.]

    I did this before I figured out the Preferences, so don't know how much difference it made. I installed the Java Developer's Kit (JDK), I think from the advice of another post on here.

    Good luck!

    Well, following these steps has broken my RM installation.

    I proceeded with the following steps.

    Removed Java 6
    Installed Java 7 SDK
    Set JAVE_HOME to new Java 7 location
    Set Path to include new Java location

    On RM start it bombs out with the following error: 

    #

    Would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

    Thanks in advance.

    This same problem is happening to me.  I am running Java 7 SDK.  I got RM to run on my Macbook air running Mountain Lion, but cannot get it to import CSV or excel.  When I try to use the Import data command, nothing happens....

    On my iMac running Mavericks, I cannot even get RM to open, it shows the loading screen, then the GUI crashes with a message similar to what Paul Alford reports.  I don't know enough about the code to be able to understand what it's doing wrong or how to fix it.

    Hi,

    just to be clear: You are trying to press the arrow next to the button, and nothing happens? (Yes, I know this is not optimal and it will be changed in the future.)

    I had exactly the same problem. I'm running Mavericks and Rapidminer Version 5.3.13.

    I had Java 7 installed but Mac was not using it (when i ran "java -version" I got the version 1.6).

    I followed the steps described in the page:

    http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/58116/enabling-java-7-on-mountain-lion

    and everything works as expected after that.

  • tmanasatmanasa Member Posts: 13 Contributor II
    Having the same issues on Mavericks with RM 5.3.015. If Java 7 is installed, RM crashes out at GUI start with EXC_BAD_ACCESS (see below).

    If I remove Java 7 and use Apple Java 6, then RM starts but neither CSV, Excel, nor XML import work.

    Following the steps linked by earmijo didn't fix the issues for me.
