I’m not sure what is going on or what to check, but CodeMix keeps shutting itself back down this morning. At first I thought it was a conflict after I installed Docker, but I have since restarted my machine and Docker is not currently running. I just uninstalled and reinstalled CodeMix. After starting Eclipse I saw CodeMix connect, then it disconnected again.

I have been evaluating for my organization and not purchased a license yet, but it was unclear if I need to purchase it or wait until after you complete the Technical Preview and release. If that is what I need to do, please let me know so I can purchase a license. If that is the case, it is not telling me.

On startup I often see this:
Exit value: -1
Process output:
[main 10:24:36 AM] update#ctor – updates are disabled

I also found this NPE in my .metadata/.log file

Myron,

Not having purchased a license yet should not result in the behavior you describe. It’s possible that the CodeMix engine did not update / extract correctly after our latest update.

1) Can you get us the version from Preferences > CodeMix please?

2) I know this is the second time we’re asking you to do this, but could you follow the instructions in our last thread to delete the .codemix folder? https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/eclipse-oxygen-3-update-broke-codemix/#post-579775

If that fixes the problem, we’re going to look into some steps that we can take detect such issues and automatically re-extract the engine.

Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Deleting the .codemix directory did fix it. Now CodeMix starts up correctly and runs again.

It currently says CI 2018.4.30, but I didn’t look prior to deleting my .codemix directory.

Myron,

Thanks for the update, glad that fixed it. It does look like you ran into a problem post update – we’re working on making this more robust, and removing the need for manual corrective actions.

Today CodeMix killed itself and is crashing on startup again. Now I cannot get it to launch at all. I have tried to delete the .codemix folder and reinstall CodeMix. I was trying the debugger and then I tried to edit my webpack.config.js file and it would not accept any keystrokes. I tried restarting Eclipse and now CodeMix does not load. As far as I know I have not received any updates so I’m not sure what changed.

I found this in .metadata/.log but I don’t know if that is it or not.

Ouch. We are reviewing and will get back to you shortly.

A few quick questions —

1. Does Crashing mean the Eclipse UI freezes? Or does it actually mean the overall Eclipse process exits?
1a. If exits, what do you see? Any error dialog?
1b. If freezes, could you run a “jstack -l ” for your Eclipse process and send us the output?
2. Does it behave the same way if you point to a different workspace?

Worst case, we’d be willing to jump onto a quick GoToMeeting to get you up and going as we definitely don’t want you or others to experience problems like this.

Cheers and sorry!
Tim

I think one of the editors I had opened was causing a crash. I finally closed all open editors, deleted .codemix and it started up again.

[myronuecker]

Crashing meant the CodeMix plugin was crashing on startup. Eclipse was running fine but CodeMix was refusing to start.

Myron,

The issue with CodeMix crash is fixed in CodeMix version 2018.5.9, which was released yesterday. Please update to the latest version from Help > Check for Updates and let us know if you still see the problem.

Appreciate your feedback.
