Corona Simulator Asking for Relaunch Without Saving Any Changes

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi Folks,

The title is pretty self-explanatory to be honest. When running my code in the simulator, I am sometimes prompted to ‘Relaunch Simulator’ without me having saved any changes to the code files…

Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

It’s not a huge inconvenience but I’m concerned there may be a bug in my code, unless of course it is a known issue caused by something else.

I am using Visual Studio Code, connected to a Visual Studio Git repository. Windows 10, portraight orientation app; not sure if I can offer any other potentially useful information in aid of a diagnosis but let me know if there is something else.

I have tried Google for any available solutions but worryingly, there appears to be no other record of such an issue.

Many thanks,

Alex

something is changing files in your folder.  You need to track it down.

It could be something as simple as an ‘autosave’ feature being turned on in one of your programs.  For example, my art program (Paint Shop Pro has a ‘auto backup feature’ that has to be off or it triggers this behavior.)

The next time it happens, quit corona then sort the files in your folder by last modified date and see if there was a change to a file.

Any change to the folder or files in that folder will trigger a reload.

Turns out the git repository connection was causing the issue… I guess it was doing something with the file in terms of checks against the repository (or something to that effect)?!

I’ve switched it off now in VSCode settings using:

“git.enabled”: false

All now seems well. Thanks again, very much appreciate the help!

All the best,

Al
