Corona CIDER Advanced Debugger with IDE - v 1.5.1- Update

Other Third-Party Tools
#421

@M.Y.developers

Thank you, “current file task scanner” is definitely better than nothing.

I have 2 questions:

  1. I would like to increase text line height in the editor. There are many info on the net how to do it in the nb config(or whatever) file in home directory. I’ve tried that without success. Do you have any suggestions regarding that? To be more precise, Is there info what and where editor’s features can be tweaked from the file?

  2. Ant file for exporting finished project into new directory will be really nice addon to the editor (with the possibility to exclude some project’s files and directories) [import]uid: 101952 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 105462[/import]

@M.Y.developers

Thanks got it working with:
file:///I:/MySVNRepo (Win7)

noticed the forward slash is needed, I had always been able to use backslash in WinXP with Eclipse/IntelliJ, eg:
file:///I:\MySVNRepo

Hi M.Y.

I noticed that memory profiler and performance profiler are integreated into cider.
So I’ve tried finding them with no luck.

How can I profile my application?
I’m in the middle of finding memory leaks, and if this tool helps me find them, I will definitely buy the license.

Thanks,

Sorry I can’t find it : is there a way to hide the vertical red line in the main window ?

  • another newbie question : I can’t add a file to my project. Adding a file juste create a file, drag and drop also copy the file in the project folder… :
    I just want to add a file to my project, but not moving or copying the file from its source folder.
    How can I do that ? [import]uid: 9328 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 105683[/import]
#425

would be nice if advanced replace had “current file” in addition to current project, open projects, active selections [import]uid: 32462 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 106347[/import]

@M.Y.developers; Still having a blast with Cider! Curious about the following:

1- I am assuming the new profilers (memory/CPU) relate to the IDE and nothing to do with the profiler I bought earlier?

2- cannot wait for a filter for files!

3- it will be great to have a way to avoid editing the wrong file when you have a bunch of similar projects (older versions of the same apps) The module names are the same so it is easy to make the mistake of editing the wrong module. Of course I could remove the old projects but it is sometimes convenient to compare codes.
again thank you for a pure gold debugger/editor!

I had no idea how much I needed the tools that cider provides til I had it.

You guys rock…thanks again for making a great product. [import]uid: 32462 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 106365[/import]

Hi everyone,

I have a formal complaint about the Corona Cider IDE that I think everyone else would like to hear. I just purchased and downloaded Corona Cider IDE. When I tried to install it a trojan virus ( Suspicious.Cloud.5 ) was caught in one of the installed files. The .exe I believe. I would like to hear an explanation as to why this virus exists in your software. [import]uid: 99450 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 106416[/import]

@Muffinsparticus: Worth looking at…
http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2010-090200-2232-99&tabid=2
My hunch would be that Symantec are picking up some heuristics in cider.exe which it considers similar to a trojan? [import]uid: 67842 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 106441[/import]

I’m having occasional lockups with CIDER, where CIDER goes crazy and eats up all the CPU and stops responding. The only way to get things to continue is to Force Quit. I’m using Cider 1.5.3. How can we debug this and find out whats causing this to happen? I wasn’t doing any debugging, just running the Simulator using the Build tool [import]uid: 122310 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 106675[/import]

@Muffinsparticus,

thank you for bringing this to our attention. The cloud.5 is a heuristic scanner result that is intended to catch malicious code that haven’t been formally added to the Norton database. Unfortunately these heuristics are not perfect and they try to detect behaviors typical of viruses. We suspect that the autoupdate feature of the netbeans platform might be triggering this alert as this type of “phone home” behavior is typical of various forms of malware. We assure you that there are no viruses in Cider and the only network usage is to our servers to check for updates. A formal complaint has been issued to Norton about this issue.

Here is a relevant netbeans platform thread addressing this issue.

@All,

We recently pushed an update with the new memory/cpu timeline feature. Please check your plugins manager to make sure you have downloaded all the “available plugins” as brand new plugins are not downloaded automatically, only existing plugins are updated.

To use the feature go to window->Memory timeline and it should start profiling your Corona simulator. Note that the CPU timeline is a rough estimate of the % of each frame used up by running lua code. Stated another way it is = (The Frame period (33 or 16ms) - Idle period)/(Frame Period)

We realize this thread has been getting very long and we will be working on getting our own forum on our website soon. That way we can keep track of everyone’s problems better.

Regards,
M.Y. Developers [import]uid: 55057 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 106755[/import]

I have started seeing some sluggishness with the IDE.

Sometimes it ignores typed letters for a few seconds.

I’m running Cider on Win7Ultimate 64Bit w/6GB of RAM.

CPU utilization is below 10%.
RAM utilization is about 3GB.

It gets bad if I do a lot of cutting and pasting, indenting content.

Sometimes, Cider just becomes unresponsive and I have to kill it in Task Manager. I lose my work when this happens, so it’s a bit annoying.

I’ve excluded the folder with my project and the Cider executable folder from my Anti-Virus and that didn’t make a difference.

Otherwise, loving the tool. [import]uid: 13784 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 108378[/import]

Found a way to recreate lockup, sort of.

Have several functions, all collapsed, with collapsible functions or loops in then.

Highlight them all, then do Shift+Tab to move them all to the left, then do Tab to move them out. When doing this is when I see Cider stop responding.

Feature request:

When using the navigator, if I double click a function to move the IDE to it, please don’t collapse this tree unless I click the small minus next to it.

Having the navigator collapse everything every time I dbl click it is frustrating.

Thanks. [import]uid: 13784 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 108388[/import]

Well Cider has become almost unusable now.

The more I’ve used it, the more sluggish it has become.

Formatting code throws “lengthy operation in progress”…

I’m wondering if it’s the history or something. I’ve excluded the temp folders, the cider bin folder, and java from Antivirus to no avail. :frowning:

Worst is that when it locks up I lose work. Sometimes a little and sometimes a LOT.

However - I have just learned something - closing the simulator makes Cider responsive. Aha!!!

That sounds more like you’re running out of memory on your computer not actually Cider. Your app is, my guess, using up a crap-ton of resources. Crap-ton is a technical term. [import]uid: 97023 topic_id: 23072 reply_id: 108740[/import]
