Arduino IDE 2.0.0 don't start on 'Save As'

jimbolo · October 8, 2022, 4:16pm

When I save a project with 'Save As', the project is saved with the new name, but usually the window is permanently blank and has to be force closed.

Does it happen to anyone else?

Welcome to the forum

Exactly which version of the IDE are you using and what is your Operating System ?

jimbolo · October 8, 2022, 6:07pm

Arduino IDE 2.0.0.0

Windows 10 21H2 (SO 19044.2075)

jimbolo · October 12, 2022, 4:24pm

After trying, reading and looking for information about IDE 2.0.0, I have forgot this version.

I think that need more time of cooking.

Hi @jimbolo. I'm sorry Arduino IDE 2.0.0 did not work for you.

A similar bug is being tracked by the Arduino IDE developers here:

github.com/arduino/arduino-ide

IDE hangs during "Save As..." operation

opened 09:23PM - 20 Mar 22 UTC

topic: code type: imperfection topic: language server criticality: highest

### Describe the problem The IDE hangs permanently during the "**Save As...**…" operation under the following conditions: - IDE was last shut down via "**File > Quit**" - Currently selected board is from a different platform than the one selected in the previous window - The language server "**indexing**" process is in progress ### To reproduce 1. Start the Arduino IDE. 1. Select **File > Quit** from the Arduino IDE menus. ❗ This exact shutdown method is required. The bug does not occur after shutting the IDE down via **File > Close** or the native window close control on the title bar (i.e., **X** or **🔴**). 1. Start the Arduino IDE. 1. Select **File > New** from the Arduino IDE menus. 1. Select a board of a different platform from the **Tools > Board** menu in the Arduino IDE. **ⓘ** e.g., if you originally had "**Arduino Uno**" ("**Arduino AVR Boards**" platform) selected, you could select "**Arduino Nano 33 BLE**" ("**Arduino Mbed OS Nano Boards**" platform). ❗ The issue is timing sensitive, so you will have a short time window if selecting a board from a lightweight platform such as "**Arduino AVR Boards**". The boards of any of the "**Arduino Mbed OS \_\_\_\_ Boards**" platforms are recommended as these provide a large window. 1. Immediately select **File > Save As...** from the Arduino IDE menus. 1. Immediately click the <kbd>**Save**</kbd> button. ❗ This must be done while the IDE is still in the state where it shows something like "**indexing 42/188**" at the left side of the status bar. 🐛 The IDE hangs forever in the state where the window title is "**index.html**" and contains spinning dots: ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8572152/159185315-c64e1aac-2952-43ca-962f-ad6d9affab6c.png) ### Expected behavior The sketch that was produced by the "**Save As...**" operation is loaded in the Arduino IDE. ### Arduino IDE version 2.0.0-rc5-snapshot-f36df02 Date: 2022-03-17T10:22:00.589Z ### Operating system Windows ### Operating system version 10 ### Additional context The first version I can reproduce this fault with is https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/commit/e6b9d4e2aa0503a0cb99e472051e1e49f487e2c7. I can not reproduce the fault with https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/commit/69ac1f4779589d0d21ce3d37c180b3393ad6156c. The "**Save As...**" process stopped working correctly at https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/commit/112153fb965f63d952d126c8244cd3f84f0a1a1b (https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/829), so it is possible that the bug was introduced somewhere between https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/commit/69ac1f4779589d0d21ce3d37c180b3393ad6156c and https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/commit/e6b9d4e2aa0503a0cb99e472051e1e49f487e2c7 but was not visible due to https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/829 --- I see the following output printed on the command line after I do a **File > Quit**: ```text root ERROR Uncaught Exception: root ERROR Error: Connection got disposed. at Object.dispose (C:\ide 2\18-arduino-ide_2.0.0-rc5-snapshot-f36df02_Windows_64bit\resources\app\node_modules\vscode-jsonrpc\lib\main.js:904:25) at C:\ide 2\18-arduino-ide_2.0.0-rc5-snapshot-f36df02_Windows_64bit\resources\app\node_modules\vscode-ws-jsonrpc\lib\socket\connection.js:14:41 at CallbackList.invoke (C:\ide 2\18-arduino-ide_2.0.0-rc5-snapshot-f36df02_Windows_64bit\resources\app\node_modules\vscode-jsonrpc\lib\events.js:62:39) at Emitter.fire (C:\ide 2\18-arduino-ide_2.0.0-rc5-snapshot-f36df02_Windows_64bit\resources\app\node_modules\vscode-jsonrpc\lib\events.js:121:36) at closeHandler (C:\ide 2\18-arduino-ide_2.0.0-rc5-snapshot-f36df02_Windows_64bit\resources\app\node_modules\vscode-jsonrpc\lib\main.js:240:26) at CallbackList.invoke (C:\ide 2\18-arduino-ide_2.0.0-rc5-snapshot-f36df02_Windows_64bit\resources\app\node_modules\vscode-jsonrpc\lib\events.js:62:39) at Emitter.fire (C:\ide 2\18-arduino-ide_2.0.0-rc5-snapshot-f36df02_Windows_64bit\resources\app\node_modules\vscode-jsonrpc\lib\events.js:121:36) at WebSocketMessageReader.fireClose (C:\ide 2\18-arduino-ide_2.0.0-rc5-snapshot-f36df02_Windows_64bit\resources\app\node_modules\vscode-jsonrpc\lib\messageReader.js:111:27) at WebSocketMessageReader.fireClose (C:\ide 2\18-arduino-ide_2.0.0-rc5-snapshot-f36df02_Windows_64bit\resources\app\node_modules\vscode-ws-jsonrpc\lib\socket\reader.js:67:19) at C:\ide 2\18-arduino-ide_2.0.0-rc5-snapshot-f36df02_Windows_64bit\resources\app\node_modules\vscode-ws-jsonrpc\lib\socket\reader.js:24:18 ``` I see the same output printed multiple times after the fault occurs. --- I suspect it is related to https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/657 --- I was only able to reproduce the fault by saving during the language server "indexing" operation triggered by the board selection. The fault did not occur for me when saving during subsequent indexing operation triggered by editing the sketch. --- I was not able to reproduce the issue with the "**Arduino > Language: Log**" setting enabled. --- Originally reported at: - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/saving-files-is-a-crap-shoot/970560/5 - https://forum.arduino.cc/t/freeze-on-save-when-using-save-as/996842 --- Some of the user reports did not match the specific procedure for reproduction I described above, and I have also encountered it occasionally under other conditions. I believe that the fault can be triggered in other ways, but I wanted to provide a procedure that consistently reproduces the issue and this was the one I happened to discover. ### Issue checklist - [X] I searched for previous reports in [the issue tracker](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues?q=) - [X] I verified the problem still occurs when using the latest [nightly build](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide#nightly-builds) - [X] My report contains all necessary details

Unfortunately, none of us have been able to reproduce it reliably. I was able to at one time by following a very specific procedure, but now the IDE works correctly when I follow that procedure, so it seems to be dependent on very specific conditions. I do experience it occasionally, but maybe only 1% of the time. This makes it extremely difficult to investigate, prepare a possible fix, and validate that fix.

Since you didn't provide much information, I can't be sure whether you are experiencing the same problem. Since you are so disappointed, I assume you are experiencing the problem regularly.

I would be happy to work with you on investigating the problem and maybe finding a solution or workaround, but if you have already gone back to 1.8.19 I guess we won't be able to do that.

I haven't uninstalled 2.0.0. so I can test again. If I have some infomation I'll say here.

There are some log in IDE 2.0.0 to send you?

ptillisch · October 12, 2022, 5:32pm

Thanks!

One question I had: When you say "the window is permanently blank". Is it completely empty, or is there a pulsing Arduino logo like when the IDE starts up?

Yes there are. The IDE automatically saves log files to a special location, but I generally find it is easiest to get them from the command line output. I'll provide instructions:

Start Windows "File Explorer".
Open the Arduino IDE installation folder.
(usually C:\Program Files\Arduino IDE or C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Programs\Arduino IDE).
In the folder listing of the Arduino IDE installation folder, hold the Shift key while clicking the right hand button on the mouse.
From the context menu, click "Open PowerShell window here".
PowerShell will now open with the current directory set to the Arduino IDE installation folder.
Type the following command:
```
& ".\Arduino IDE"
```
Press the Enter key.
Debug output should now be printed to the PowerShell window as the Arduino IDE starts (or fails to start).
Wait for the Arduino IDE to finish starting, or failing to start.
Switch back to the PowerShell window if the Arduino IDE window took the focus.
Right click on the title bar of the PowerShell window.
This will open a context menu.
Select Edit > Select All from the context menu.
This will select all the text in the PowerShell window.
Press Ctrl+C.
This will copy the contents of the PowerShell window to the clipboard.
Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.
Click the </> icon on the post composer toolbar.
This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
Press Ctrl+V.
This will paste the output into the code block.
Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
Click the Reply button to post the output.

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems while following those instructions.

One question I had: When you say "the window is permanently blank". Is it completely empty, or is there a pulsing Arduino logo like when the IDE starts up?

I'm testing and after 7 or 8 times, I forced a error. A round logo is pulsing

jimbolo · October 12, 2022, 5:48pm

Only X at right up corner close the window. File/Exit does not effect.

jimbolo · October 12, 2022, 5:49pm

When I start again IDE, the last file saved with Save As... (that force hangs) is opened.

jimbolo · October 12, 2022, 6:00pm

Shit. This time no logo pulsing.

jimbolo · October 12, 2022, 6:07pm

I don't know if this is useful for you:

This time the only way to close window was finalize HA_Hall_V2.5x app

jimbolo · October 12, 2022, 6:13pm

I see that one time the first hang appear, is more easy to repeat this error

jimbolo · October 12, 2022, 6:37pm
