Corrupted smart client using developer. As I was programming yesterday, a pop up message alerted me, “dirty … do I want to save”. Not sure of the exact wording, I did not write the message down unfortunately. I Answered YES to Save. Since then smart client goes in debug mode each time I try to launch my application, and continuosly stops on pointers which say “debug current instruction pointer” in the tool tip (like breakpoints), that I have not added but developer is seeing, as it runs through the normal login scripts. The application freezes before it completes the startup. We are using a SVN shared development. Servoy Developer still works fine. I can synchronize. I am not sure where these pointers are coming from, or what part of the script loading process is corrupt, but something is amiss. How can I recover from this, get back to normal, and continue working. Please advise. Thanks.
Ok, so after some additional testing, here are a few more notes. I’ve been able to get all the way through a complete launch of the Smart client, by clicking the green Resume arrow in the Debug perspective over and over until the launch cycles though all startup scripts. But every other button or action causes the same process to start over again. I exported and loaded the same version on our Server, and everything runs fine in Smart client. That’s good. I wonder where this issue is getting triggered. I’m starting to think some setting is causing this. Would reloading developer clean this up? Time consuming, but better than this…
can you check the Breakpoints view in the Debug perspective if you have somehow enabled Global Method Entry or Exit or Exception Break?
Thanks Johan. Those all seem fine.
Problem was resolved by switching to new workspace, and checking out the whole solution again. I will keep me eye out for that error again, and note the message.
Ran into the same problem. Error message is:
An internal error occurred during: “Launching globals.js (3)”.
java.lang.NullPointerException

If someone knnows how to fix this please inform. Will go back to last nights backup workspace and lose a mornings work otherwise.
Thanks. K
do you have anything in your log files (servoy log or eclipse log) about that null pointer?
do you have it now every time you start a debug client?
Not having the problem at all at present, I dumped the problem workspace and put in the previous nights backup. All is well.
