Very high CPU utilization (Mac Air)

Glider (IDE)
#1

From time to time my CPU utilization peaks and I hear the fan desperately trying to keep things cool. It gets so annoying that I exit Glider and come back to it and all is well again… When I exit Glider I am given a prompt telling me what is running at the moment and therefore will be terminated… This list often has a list of processes missing 1 from the max count… In other words it seems like these things are getting stuck 1 count shy of completion and getting the CPU into a frenzy… See attached image for a sample of what I’m talking about. Anyone else see something like this?

Hi ksan,

We just released an update. You will need to re-download and reinstall to get the update however. The problem should be fixed in this version. Please get the installer from our website:

Thanks. Do I need to uninstall the current version before installing the new one?

Hello Kerem,

For Mac you can just replace the app file. For windows you will need to uninstall.

Hello,

I am having the same issue on my Macbook air. The CPU goes to 300+ % !!! and then the only way is to kill Glider then it is ok for few minutes but it happens again. I did download the new version with the link above. I am not sure what my licence # is so I am assuming I am using the trial version now (21 days)

Please HELP! I am trying to finish app before the apple Christmas deadline and this issue is really putting a break on my progress!

THANK YOU!

Mo.

ps:

Macbook air (most recent) OS 10.8.4 (8meg RAM)

Corona# 1260

Sorry to hear you are having the same problem. Just to close the loop on my end, the issue was solved for me with the latest update. Hope you find a resolution soon so that your game release is not affected.

Hello Mo,

We are sorry to hear about the issues you are having. If you have downloaded the app more than a week ago please re-download as there was an update recently. If this still does not solve your issue we suggest you switch to the simple scanner like this:

@M.Y. Developers: Thanks for your help. I downloaded the soft again (from the link above) and I will let you know how it goes. Unfortunately I seems to have lost the code coloring scheme!  I only see black text instead of different colors for say comments, code and so on. I can change the theme but when I tried to use “font colors” / syntax, there is no profile and nothing to choose from. There is an import function in that window but I am not where I can import some profiles. Do I need to download the soft again?

Final question, how can I get my licence# again? I downloaded this “try” version which will expire in 21 days.

Thanks again. Love Glider!

Mo

PS: WOW, it is worst than I thought. The fact that the code coloring does not work also seems to mean that I cannot edit my code!!! I can add text but when I tried to delete characters, it won’t let me. So it is really broken now. I will try to re-download Glider but I am in BIG trouble now!

For anyone who is having similar issue clearing the userdirectory usually fixes the problem. You can do this via help-> user directory and either move or delete the contents of that folder.

Great news! I am back in business thanks to the developer chatting with me today. For the issue editing not possible, I had to delete some directories and relaunch Glider. Now back to my app! A lot of bugs to crush before the Apple deadline!

Thanks again.

I have LuaGlider2 which I just downloaded two days ago, and a macbook Air. I am also having extremely high CPU utilization and an almost completely unresponsive IDE.

Which directories do I need to delete?

Any other suggestions? I already only scan stubs.

Correction: I had it set to Scan Only Current File + requires. Now it’s set to Scan Only stubs. It does seem to be better.

How will that impact Glider’s functionality?

Hello Tntwickey,

Glider has a fairly complex code analysis suite. With that complexity comes lots of features such as occurrences finder, instant rename rename refactoring, goto declaration, and custom class based auto complete entries. Longer files on particular (more than a few thousand lines can slow things down especially if editing). Is this the case for you?

turning on stubs only mode will force glider to deep scan only the auto complete stubs created by us and will fallback to a much simpler plain text indexer system that is guarantee to run at O(n) time. This will still give acceptable results at least on par with other ides.

At any rate we would like to fix the problem. A stripped down sample project that demonstrates the problem will help us a lot. If that is not an option then uploading logs via help>upload logs will also help.

I’ve got the same problem, fan is cranking.

Glider 2.0 is using 207 under CPU reading in monitor, it’s using 50% of my capacity while idle in the background…EEEEEK!

I’ve got Stubs only set as tntwickey suggested.  Without changing the scan, Glider is totally unusable, can’t scroll or even place the cursor without up to 5 sec. of lag.

Features are great, but if they can’t be utilized…well, basically just useless.  Basically options are useless.

Another thing, I can’t get auto complete to stop adding the matching brackets or quotes…really frustrating.

edit:

my CPU usage climbed to 308, I had to terminate all background scanning located at the bottom of the window, which is a bummer as I share files with drobox between my PC and Mac Air.

My Glider 2.0 CPU usage dropped to 15 from over 300.

I can’t imagine I’m the only 2 users seeing this

btw, I’m using Mavericks.

edit 2: 

I thought I turned off backround
scanning totally, but I must not have.  I changed something at the
bottom of the window, but when I added an image to my project folder,
Glider updated it in the projects window, so it must still be scanning
for changes which is great.

So I’m not sure what I
changed at the bottom of the main window, but now my CPU is at 7,
running smooth and still scanning my projects folder. hmmmm

Hello Nail,

Is auto completion working properly?

#19

Hey MY,

No, I can’t turn auto complete off for matching brackets/quotes/braces

Unfortunately, over time, the CPU climbed to over 325 and Glider became unresponsive again.
