Twice now, I've gotten this popup: ... Let me improve my request, as it seems there is some confusion about what I want. I'm specifically not asking that the popups not be displayed. I don't mind dismissing them. When they appear, I would, however, like to glance over at the stream of messages emitted by the test runner and see a message about it being expected. It seems that the tests which can trigger the crash reporter do this. In my case, the popups appear but then disappear within a fraction of a second, and this happens about 10-20 times when running the full test suite. So I don't have a chance to interact with the popups, and this causes test failures. Also, when running a large suite of tests, I may not be looking at the screen by the time these popups appear. I wouldn't want the tests to fail nor would I want the test run to stall. I can't test this right now, but does disabling the "network" resource avoid these popups? Though even if it does we'll still need a way to run network-related tests on OSX.

The only way I know to easily avoid these pop-ups is to turn off the local firewall while testing.

Signing the interpreter likely also works, but probably only when using a paid developer certificate.
