Seemingly out of nowhere when I open Mathematica a messages window pops up with these two warnings. This issue starting occurring after no changes where made.
StringJoin::string: String expected at position 1 in $Failed<>/Persistence.
LocalObject::uri: Persistence is not a valid Local Object URL.
Additionally, when I run wolframscript I get a slightly longer message
Get::noopen: Cannot open URLUtilitiesLoader`.
LocalObject::uri: Persistence is not a valid Local Object URL.
PersistenceLocation::invalid:
Persistence location PersistenceLocation[Local, $Failed, ReadOnly -> True]
is not valid.
PersistenceLocation::invalid:
Persistence location PersistenceLocation[Installation, {$Failed}]
is not valid.
PersistenceLocation::invalid: Persistence location $Failed is not valid.
General::stop: Further output of PersistenceLocation::invalid
will be suppressed during this calculation.
PersistenceLocation::ploc:
StartUp`Initialization`$BootstrapPath is not a persistence location.
PersistenceLocation::fe:
No FrontEnd available; FrontEnd persistence location is not supported.
LocalObject::lbx:
Cannot set $DefaultLocalBase to /Users/tomginsberg/Library/Wolfram/Objects.
StringJoin::string: String expected at position 1 in $Failed<>/Persistence.
LocalObject::uri: Persistence is not a valid Local Object URL.
Really not sure why this started happening any insight would be helpful, thx.
