Missing Simulator on Output window

Glider (IDE)
#1

My Output Window used to have the following three tabs : 

Plugin Console

Glider IDE Log

Simulator

Lately, from time to time the simulator tab just stops updating when I’m running a test build in simulator. The Glider IDE Log tab still shows me the print results etc that I used to see in Simulator tab but its much too busy so I prefer the Simulator tab of the Output window. Usually exiting Glider and restarting fixes this problem.

Now the Simulator tab is totally gone. Restarting Glider is not fixing this problem. I had this once before and I know erasing user folder brings this back but then I need to reopen all my projects etc. Bummer.

Any ideas what I can do to bring back the Simulator output tab? 

Thanks

Hello Ksan,

Please try window->reset windows.

Thanks for your quick response. Tried that but it did not help. Still no Simulator output tab.

#4

In response to my recent post, I have the same problem now and have tried resetting all windows to no prevail?

Sorry to hear you’re having the same problem but I am happy to see I’m not the only one. Hope MY Developers find the cure to this bug soon as it is very annoying and disruptive. Thanks

I can’t seem to update my Lua Glider version, it has a status bar which runs for 30 seconds and with 2s left it gives me the following error msg: “Check your network connection, verify that your proxy settings are configured correctly, or try again later”. I tried this a few times to see if it was my Mac causing this problem but to no prevail?

Got an update - CoronaBridge. Will let you know if the problem is still there. Thanks

No change. Simulator output window still missing. Window / Reset does not fix this issue. I am hoping you will be able to fix this issue soon. Thanks

@Ksan,

Please try it again (we are trying a different approach). If it is not too much trouble can you zip up your user-directory and email it for us? It would help us if we can actually reproduce this bug rather than blindly updating it.

@Evan,

Please go to tools-> plugins and ensure your settings looks like this:

I’m happy to email it but its taking 19MB. You don’t need my Project Builds folder right? That alone is 9MB.

#12

@Ksan

Yes That is correct. Please do NOT send us the project builds folder (that contains all your projects.)

#13

Ok. Sent it. Not sure if the 12MB file will go through gmail. Let me know if you don’t get it. Thanks

#14

One more question. Do breakpoints work when this problem happens?

Regards,

#15

Yes. Breakpoints work and funny enough it brought the Simulator Output window too. 

#16

The simulator output window issue is still there. Any luck on curing this one? It was all fine after initial v2 update so I’m guessing it must be related all the other changes between initial v2 release and now. Thanks

Hello Ksan,

Sorry, we tried to use your user directory but to no avail, the output window still shows up for us. Just a clarification that print statements do not show up in the simulator tab when you click the build button, only on run and debug modes. Also, if you would be so kind to provide a screencast of the problem we can help you out better.

Thanks for looking into this. I don’t have a way to consistently reproduce the problem so I don’t know if I can get a screencast for you but I’ll keep trying to pin it down. If I figure out a way to consistently get into this state I will then document it.

@Ksan,

Hey M.Y Developers,

I still have this issue that I can’t use the Run or Debug on Lua Glider 1.9.x or on the trial 2.0.x versions? I get the simulator to appear but its just a blank screen and I usually have to force quit it? Any suggestions on resolving this? 

P.S. My updates count down from 30s to 1s and then state that a network connection could not be established. I’ve checked that the URL is pointing to your servers?
