Glider Freezing

Glider (IDE)
#21

Hello everybody

@basiliogerman:

Thanks a lot for this contribution!

I have windows 8.1 and I don’t get the modified config file working. It keeps saying “cannot find java 1.7 or higher”.

What is the usual file path in windows which I have to insert here?

# ${HOME} will be replaced by user home directory according to platform default\_userdir="${HOME}/luaglider2/dev" default\_mac\_userdir="${HOME}/Library/Application Support/luaglider2/dev" # options used by the launcher by default, can be overridden by explicit # command line switches default\_options="--branding luaglider2 -J-Xms512m -J-Xmx1024m -J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -J-XX:MaxPermSize=256m -J-Xverify:none" # for development purposes you may wish to append: -J-Dnetbeans.logger.console=true -J-ea # default location of JDK/JRE, can be overridden by using --jdkhome \<dir\> switch # jdkhome="jre" &nbsp;jdkhome = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0\_79\jre\lib" # clusters' paths separated by path.separator (semicolon on Windows, colon on Unices) #extra\_clusters=

Cheers,

Matt

Thanks for the fix @basiliogerman.

My Glider has been running for the last 3 days without any problem!

#23

Giving basiliogerman’s fix a try. Getting tired of how sluggish Glider feels lately.

#24

Just had a 30 second lockup right now. uploading logs.

#25

your upload logs process takes ages. no idea what you are uploading - had to cancel it.

if you guys could just find a way to determine what the thing is doing when it freezes, then turn that off - would be great.

#26

and yet today it is fine :slight_smile:

oh i don’t know…

#27

Too many performance problems with Glider… Netbeans really. I have loved it and will miss it, but I am taking the plunge and investing time into learning Sublime and making it my Corona editor. 

#28

Hello prographodeveloper,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Do you still have the freezing issue? If so, how often does it happen? Also, please try this, go to tools->options->glider options->editor->and uncheck “do not copy files”. Please let us know if this helps.

 

Regards,

M.Y. Developers

#29

freezing here also.  Unchecking the “do not copy files” didn’t solve it.

#30

Freezing here also. “Do not copy file” was already checked  and still freeze.

#31

MY Devs, it is getting worse. It is becoming impossible to use GLIDER. It is freezing (no responding) almost every hour now.

#32

Still does it for me, a couple of times a day.

It doesn’t make assumptions about internet availability does it?

#33

I am suspecting it is freezing when the internet connection is poor. 

you guys need to move internet code to a different thread

#34

I don’t think it is the issue. I have a reliable connection and Glider simply freezes and becomes a “Not responding” program.

We used to have problems with Glider regarding performance (it was becoming slow and started consume a lot of cpu). Now, it is a different problem. The problem simply stop responding.

#35

btw - yes i have done this; tools->options->glider options->editor->and uncheck “do not copy files”

#36

GUYS PLS FIX THIS.

It becomes not responding every half an hour today. I reboot PC but still a problem.

aggghhhhh

#37

@prographodeveloper,

There should not be any internet traffic after the first license activation. Are you having this issue on Windows 7 or are you using a different operating system? What version does it say for you when you go to windows->what’s new ?

Thanks,

M.Y. Developers

  • Added option to fine tune scan level to balance speed vs accuracy. This can be found in Glider Options->Editor
    • Scan everything (Old Default)- will scan all lua files in the entire project. Sometimes this is the only way to be sure all globals show up.
    • Scan Main.lua + requires (New Default)- will scan main.lua and its dependencies. Some files will go unscanned if main (or its dependencies) do not explicitly depend on it. This is probably the most optimal setting.
    • Scan only current file + requires - This is the fastest option but will not scan files unless it depends on the current file. Very fast but probably incomplete autocomplete results.

  • Fixed Ultimote issues.
  • Callstack shows function names and jumps to function call lines.

  • Implemented configuration import feature. You can now import any configuration of any opened project.

Glider v 1.7.92

  • Project icon is changed based on alias/enabled flags.
  • Project icon is shown instead of lua icon in files’ tab in editor. This should track the project icon selection.
  • Added Code Insertion feature to configurations. Now you can set globals in main.lua based on a configuration basis. This will prevent code duplication in main.lua using alias/disable method.

  • Configurations support. Properties has been removed in favor of Set Configuration->Customize.
  • Configurations store everything about the project. External libraries, Aliases, Disabled files.
  • Configurations can be cloned to easily create new configurations with small modifications from its parent. An example could be a “Paid version” configuration and a “Lite version” configuration. Both can have aliases for icon_free and icon_paid to icon.png but each configuration disables the relavent file.
  • Import configuration feature is not operational yet but will be soon.
  • Aliases are now represented as file folders. Simply create one alias and drag other files into it to set aliases. Drag files out of the alis node to remove the alias.

  • External Library support. Right click on a project->Properties to add external libraries. Each library can be given a relative path to which it will be copied upon building.
  • Aliases support. Either right click on a file and go to properties or go to window->properties. You can set the filename alias from here. Files are renamed to their aliases in the build directory. To restore name, right click the alias and click Restore Default.
  • Enable/Disable file. Right click on a file and you can choose to enable or disable it. Disabled files are deleted in the build directory.
  • Build support. External libraries are now copied into the build directory. Press the build button to take you there. External libraries are merged, aliases applied, and exluded files are deleted.
  • Live coding. Activate via window-> Live Code. Insert these comments into your lua source to control a variable or call a function. Acceptable types are
    • number- a spinner object will be shown and you can change the value with the mousewheel.
    • string- a text field entry will be given or you can supply choices like string(“choice1”, “choice2”)
    • bool- a checkbox is displayed
    • color- RGB values can be edited in realtime with the provided colorpicker.
      Examples:
    • —@livecode sometable.somekey = number
    • —@livecode sometable.isEnabled = bool
    • —@livecode sometable.myName = string(“joe”,“mary”,“jane”,“jimmy”)
    • —@livecode sometable:setSpeed(number,number)
    • —@livecode sometable:setColor(color)
      Note: These comments must be located AFTER the variable in question is declared. The build system will replace these comments with livecode variables.
  • Individual projects may now have their own SDK selections. Right click on a project node->Properties->SDK selection
  • Symantic highlighter- Globals defined in this file are in green. Globals used in this file are italicized.

Still freezing randomly here. Sometime i have a break of an hour, sometime it freeze 3 times in less than 20 min. Simply useless!

@All,

Thank you a whole bunch for uploading the logs. Some of them contained memory dumps that are helping us pinpoint a strange issue we are working with the Netbeans team to help us fix. The upload was not small and we appreciate the patience for letting it finish.

Will keep you updated with the progress on this issue.
