I downloaded Genymotion and Genymotion IntelliJ plugin. I set Genymotion path in Intellij. Instructions: https://cloud.genymotion.com/page/doc/#collapse-intellij
When I try to relaunch plugin I get the following error:
4:36:22 PM Genymotion: Loading Genymotion library
4:36:22 PM Genymotion: Genymotion directory: /Applications/Genymotion.app/Contents/MacOS
4:36:22 PM Genymotion: Trying to initialize engine
4:36:23 PM Genymotion: Initialize Engine: failed
What am I doing wrong?
Surprisingly not much on the internet about this. If you were to just run Genymotion (standalone) you'd get the nice error message:
Unable to load VirtualBox engine.
Make sure that you have installed it correctly before starting Genymotion.
For more information, refer to https://cloud.genymotion.com/page/faq#vbox
Unfortunately you won't see this in IntelliJ's Event Log. Once you install virtual box you should be all set.
Download and install Virtual Box for your platform and it will work. Download from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads .
First it seemed like the case is path to Genymotion, but this error is caused by a bug that does not let Genymotion plugin work with VirtualBox later than 4.2
To fix this error all you need to do is go here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_4_2 and download the 4.2 version of VirtualBox. Once you reinstall it - the error is gone and Genymotion plugin opens device list properly
With Genymotion 1.0.5 release, it works well VirtualBox 5.x on OSX platform. Please upgrade plugin to latest.
So I have faced the same issue, been online searching for an answer with very little help. what I have done is, completely uninstall Genymotion and Vbox, did a restart of my machine, redownloaded, the newer version ( 2.5.4) of Genymotion with Vbox included from https://www.genymotion.com and then did a fresh install, this seems to have fixed the issue.
