Not a happy day in Glider Land...

Ok. I’ll try again when the new version is out. When is that going to happen? Any ETA? How about not being able to open projects? I read about others having the same issue and deleting the user directory. That didn’t work for me. How about not being able to go between variable state snapshots? I don’t see that Back button even though I change the snapshot period to 3 seconds from the -1 which was the sys default.

Hello Ksan,

 How about not being able to open projects?

How about not being able to go between variable state snapshots? I don’t see that Back button even though I change the snapshot period to 3 seconds from the -1 which was the sys default.

We will look into and fix the snapshot issue, currently there are just too many more really important issues in queue. Opening projects should always work, can you send a screenshot of what your open project dialog looks like?

When is that going to happen? Any ETA?

A fix for the sluggishness will be out shortly, I would estimate within a day or 2. A fix for the Java 7 bugs is out of our control. We are actually planning to just backport everything to Java 6 and wait for them to fix the bugs before upgrading to 7 again. The backport might take up to a week to implement and test.

Thanks for understanding,

Open projects is working now somehow after user directory delete and a good night’s sleep. 

Will wait for the next version to see how the performance issue turns out. I actually want to be able to see my globals and what not so turning the scanning down is not such a good idea but I’ll see.

Hello Ksan,

Have you tried this setup?

Was using Ram but setting was at Main.lua + requires. Changed it to current file + requires. I will observe.

Alright. We will probably add another option in there (Only current file.)  Just out of curiosity have you tried Glider on another computer? How about a windows machine?

No. Didn’t try it on another machine. Will try to try later on.  :slight_smile:

Hello Ksan,

Please get the 1.9.15 update via help-> check for updates. By no means is this a permanent fix but it will make Glider usable until we can fix it for good. Please try this option:

And let us know how that works out for you.

Thanks. Got it and changed settings. I will use it today and report how it goes. Thanks for hearing us out and making continual improvements. 

It is much better now. I use the “Scan only current file + requires” option as I like the ability to jump to functions and see globals etc from the Navigator. Seems more stable now. Look forward to having the debug snapshot function coming back. Thanks for your efforts. 

Hello Ksan,

Thanks for your feedback. We just released a 1.9.2 that provides some further stability improvements. Please let us know of any more improvements, we will re-introduce the snapshot support once we figure out a good way to do it sustainably. The previous implementation was way too slow to be useful in large projects. 

Regards,

M.Y. Developers

Sounds great! Got 1.9.2. Will let you know if things go south again. All the best

How the heck do you add a breakpoint on OSX? I tried clicking on the line number, and also right-clicking and choosing Toggle Line Breakpoint, but nothing happens. It just beeps at me.

You need to click a little more to the left.

I tried that. I’m pretty familiar with IDEs from using Visual Studio, Xamarin, etc., but nothing happens here. It just beeps. I even use the right-click to try and toggle a breakpoint and still nothing. 

Am I doing something wrong?

Hello Marlon8,

Thank you for the report and video. Today we will be releasing a maintenance patch and we want to fix this issue as well. Please upload logs via help-> upload logs. That should help us narrow down the problem.

@Ksan,

Thanks for your help!

M.Y. Developers 

Okay… Uploaded the logs.

Thanks guys.
