Eclipse creates a folder for CodeMix in my local Users folder. CodeMix can’t start because I don’t have permissions to run a program from that folder. I can run from say a network folder. Is there a way to tell CodeMix to put that folder on say V:\CodeMix\.codemix instead of in the User profile folder? If I could do that, then CodeMix would work. Is there a config file where I can specify that?
Richard, thanks for reaching out! This is a very good request. Right now we don’t provide a way to tell CodeMix to be executed in a different location but we will work on a solution for it and let you know.
For now you can override the
user.homevariable by editing theeclipse.inifile and adding-Duser.home=V:\alternate\homeafter-vmargs.
It should be enough to make it work but this might impact other things like default git directory.Cheers!
Aaron LaraI got further doing this but CodeMix still creates another .codemix folder under my windows user folder for the extensions and then that dies because of trying to run something there and does not complete downloading the extensions. I can work for a while until I run into an error: An internal error occurred during: “Requesting installed extensions”.
java.net.UnknownHostException: walther.labs.localRichard, we are actively working on a solution for this. When we get a fix (most likely later today) can you help us verifying it works at your end? We can export a couple of plugins that you can replace in your installation.
Thanks!
Aaron LaraRichard, we have come up with a fix for this issue and we will include it in our next release. It would be really helpful if you are able to test our fix.
1. Shut down eclipse
2. Download and extract the attachedplugins.zipfile.
3. Replace the plugins in your eclipse install location by the downloaded ones.
4. Edit the file<eclipse install location>\configuration\.settings\com.genuitec.eclipse.code.core.prefsby adding:
codemix.data.location=V:\\alternate\\location
5. Execute eclipse and make sure it works.Note: in our final fix we will also include a preference page to edit this value from the UI.
Hopefully this gets you up and going. Let us know the result.
Cheers!
Aaron LaraI can test it tomorrow when I get back in the office since it is that network where the issue exists. Will get back to you with the results then.
It worked. The only other issue I am having is when it tries to update the Extensions, it gets an Unknown Host error: walther.labs.local
Is your code using a Port for this URL? Most of our ports are blocked if they are NON-standard. I could possibly get this port in-blocked if I knew what it was.Hey Richard!, It’s good to know CodeMix is at least starting up now. Regarding the
UnknownHostException, we download extensions by directly connecting tohttp://downloads.genuitec.com.It would help if you can share your workspace log file with us. Additionally, do you see the engine connected? (bottom left of the IDE). A ScreenShot might help as well.
Richard, additional to what I already requested. Here are some steps you can perform so we can have a better understanding of what’s happening at your system:
1. Shut down eclipse
2. Edit eclipse.ini and the following lines after-vmargs
-Dcom.genuitec.eclipse.engine.log=true
-Dcom.genuitec.eclipse.engine.log.verbose=true
3. Launch Eclipse and wait until you get the error.
4. Share this file to us:<codemix data location>/.codemix/codemix-<timestamp>Thanks in advance!
CodeMix Engine starts up fine. I just get the error when I try to download the Angular and Web extensions. I have attached the logs as requested.
Richard. That error is weird since we don’t use
walther.labs.localas host anywhere. If you are behind a proxy it’s possible that it’s blocking access tohttp://downloads.genuitec.com… Can you try to access this URL in your browser?I found the walther.labs.local entry. It was a setting for an old proxy server. I found the new one and that fixed it. So we are good to go. Everything is working great.
