Simulator relaunch project without reason

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi

I like the feature that makes the simulator to relaunch automatically, I understand that if you modify any file in your project folder the simulator relaunch the project. I think it also relaunch if you add files in your project. All of this is nice and understandable. The issue is that the simulator relaunch in some other occasion, like, every 2-3 minutes, for no reason that I can understand. I’m using Corona with Windows 7. 

Any one know how the simulator decide if it restart?

anybody has the same problem?

It is not because my text editor save automatically :wink:

thanks for your help!

Hi @jerars,

Does this occur at a predictable 2-3 minute iteration, or just randomly at times? Are you absolutely sure there’s nothing else being “changed” by your system, i.e. anything that would modify any file in the project? The Simulator may be very sensitive to any kind of change in the folder.

Best regards,

Brent

Hi Brent,
I’ ll have to check if it is a very specific laps of time. I do suspect something is changed in the project on my behalf but i dont know what because the only file i have open is my lua file.

It doesn’t seems to relaunch at a specific time, like every 3 minutes precisely… I’m using Windows 8.1 and EditPad pro as a text editor. Is anybody experiencing the same behavior with Windows 8.1 or EditPad pro?

Hi @jerars,

There’s nothing in the Corona Simulator that would be forcing a reload every 3 minutes, and I’ve not heard this type of report before. Does the same thing occur if you use another text editor than EditPad?

Ok, so the issue was coming from Editpad pro. I was using a project inside this editor and the project master file was saved automatically, and this file was inside my corona project folder. doh! thanks everybody! :slight_smile:
