OS X: Running Projucer from headless console / ssh

The Projucer
1

We use Projucer to re-generate project files automatically in our continuous integration builds. However, attempting to run Projucer via a headless console on OS X prints a number of error messages:

Projucer : Set a breatpoint at CGSLogError to catch errors as they are logged.
Projucer : This user is not allowed access to the window system right now.
_RegisterApplication(), FAILED TO establish the default connection to the WindowServer, _CGSDefaultConnection() is NULL.
Projucer : CGSConnectionByID: 0 is not a valid connection ID.
Projucer : CGSConnectionByID: 0 is not a valid connection ID.
Projucer : CGSConnectionByID: 0 is not a valid connection ID.
Projucer : CGSConnectionByID: 0 is not a valid connection ID.
Projucer : CGSConnectionByID: 0 is not a valid connection ID.
Projucer : CGSConnectionByID: 0 is not a valid connection ID.
Projucer : Invalid Connection ID 0

Simple to re-produce. Just attempt to do “Projucer -help” via SSH.

Could we get slightly better support for this use-case? It seems like it does proceed with the generation of the project files regardless, but doesn’t look good in the log files.
