1 Smart client opens to a blank screen
See viewtopic.php?t=13140 for a more detailed discussion of this issue.
Fix #1
Close all open editors and restart Servoy.
Fix #2
Delete the globals.js.launch files in your workspace:
- Code: Select all
rm [workspace_directory]/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.debug.core/.launches/*
2 Servoy doesn't finish starting up
This one is not fun. Either your workspace and/or your Servoy directory have some messed up files in them.
Fix #1: Reset your workspace
1 Rename your workspace. IE, add "_archive" to the end of the name
2 Create a new folder with the same name as your original workspace folder
3 Open Servoy. You should have nothing in your file system at this point. But hey, now it's opening again! If not, see "Fix #2"
4 Choose "File > Import... > General > Existing projects into workspace"
5 Click "Next" and for "Select root directory" navigate to your archived workspace.
6 Choose the projects you want to import, make sure "Copy projects into workspace" is selected and click "Finish."
You now have all of your projects back. The unfortunate part is that many custom Eclipse settings have to be set back up from scratch again at this point. Like your SVN connections. (An SVN bug is probably the single biggest culprit for this issue though and somewhere on the forum I think Servoy recommends a different versioning system. TODO: insert link).
Fix #2: Reinstall Servoy
If Servoy doesn't startup with a blank workspace as described in steps 1 & 2 above, then reinstall Servoy and start at step 4 above to get your files back.
3 "Servoy takes too long to connect to the IDE"
Fairly benign error as you just can't use the debugger when this happens. Restart.
4 Headless client quits working
This happens everytime you terminate the debugger before a method the headless client triggered is finished. Restart.
5 Crash when hitting a dialogue plugin call with the debugger on
This is a guaranteed crash everytime on a Mac (not sure with windows). 50% of the time it whacks out your SVN information as well (again, likely SVN bug fault). You can either reset your SVN up from scratch or:
Fix
- delete directory: "<workspace_directory>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources"
- in Eclipse, go to "File->Import->Existing projects into Workspace"
- choose your workspace as root directory and do NOT check "Copy projects into workspace" (they're already there)
6 Servoy doesn't finish quitting
This one is messing with us. I moved a big solution up to 5.1.4 to test and soon discovered that with smart client open, Servoy hangs on quit every time. Troy's been having this same problem with just about every v5 version to date and 5.1.4 solved it on his machine. *head scratch*
I'm on Mac 10.5.8 and I think Troy is on 10.6.x. I have the latest Java update (thanks Apple for the bonus delete character) and Troy doesn't.
Fix
- Force quit. (At the point Servoy hangs, Eclipse has already done its workspace cleanup -- I haven't had any adverse consequences yet.)
