Hi,

Just purchased it and love the features however have a huge problem -

If I run my app from Glider, the database connections do not seem to work in the simulator and I get empty table rows returned (0 records).

The same app started from the simulator or from the ZeroBrane editor works fine and shows the records.

Also if I start/stop the simulator from Glider then launching on the next turn the app from the standalone simulator locks up the app and the simulator itself and right now the only way to still run my app is from the ZeroBrane editor

@Atanas,

Thank you for your interest!

Would it be possible to provide a simple test project so we can replicate the problem on our end? The debugger should not be messing around with the database at all. One thing to consider is that you cannot use relative paths referring to the parent folder of your project. This is because glider will copy over the project files to a separate location before running the project. This might also be causing the database issue? Perhaps try using absolute paths instead?

Hi,

Thanks for the answer - I narrowed down the problem with the database was caused by Glider using a different sandbox file location - thus my existing files were not recognized. Any reason for this ?

The lock down issue, I can’t really pin it - it doesn’t always happen but to replicate it, stop the simulator from corona and then restart the simulator on a stand alone basis and try to start the project from there.

Still love the features :slight_smile:

Yes, at the moment all files are copied to a separate folder and then run in the simulator. This was done so project manager steps (like merging external libraries) can be done without destroying the original files.

Yes, the project you are running will have the debug library and if you try to run it without a Glider instance listening for the debugger, it will just block forever. Please use the build button (little hammer) if you wish to build a stand-alone project for the simulator.

Hi, Developers,

is there any update for Graphics 2.0 lib? Like anchorX and anchorY.

Hello Wilson,

We are working on getting the stubs up to speed. When we are finished it will show all the old graphics 1.0 components as deprecated.
