Hello,
I'm running TextMate version 2.0-rc.27.
It seems that I'm no longer able to edit files that are not owned by me by using `sudo mate` or plain `mate`.
Steps:
1. Run `sudo mate /etc/hosts` 2. Enter my username and password in the terminal 3. Make a change 4. Save the file
Expected: The file is saved with the new contents
Actual: an error modal is show with the following contents:
Title: The document “hosts” could not be saved.
Body: Failed replacing hosts with /var/folders/w8/0pc0dw1d4zd9knf_qm4ls1bc0000gn/T/TemporaryItems/(A Document Being Saved By TextMate)/hosts: You don’t have permission to save the file “hosts” in the folder “etc”.
So far I have tried: - Granting "Full Disk Access" to TextMate in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy - Uninstalling and reinstalling `mate`
Please let me know if there's any more information I can provide.
Thanks!
Works for me.

OS version and the output from running these lines in a terminal:
ls -l /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.macromates.auth_server.plist ls -l /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macromates.auth_server /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macromates.auth_server --version sudo sqlite3 /var/db/auth.db 'SELECT * FROM rules_history WHERE rule LIKE "com.macromates.textmate%"'
After this, try re-install the privileged helper tool using this command:
sudo /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macromates.auth_server --uninstall
A new authenticated save should automatically re-install it, so try `sudo mate` (or regular `mate`) after this, to see if the issue has been solved.
Even if you do get it working, I would like the output from the above steps, as ideally the user should not need to manually re-install the helper. I assume though the auth database have lost TextMate’s policy, possibly during OS upgrade.
Ben: Any update on this?
