VERY Slow startup IDE 2

Farhankhosravi · January 30, 2022, 5:23am

Hello
the Arduino IDE 2 rc3 takes few minutes to open and show application environment... What's problem? I took a log of opening progress by cmd, this is the results:

Hi @Farhankhosravi. I would expect the IDE to be fully usable at this point in the log output, 48 seconds in:

The rest of the output is the processing of the board and sketch that was opened on startup. But that processing should not block the usage of the IDE application.

Of course, 48 seconds is an unusually long startup, but not so long as the three minutes you have observed.

At what point in the log output are you first able to start using the application?

Does the output that claims it has been 48 seconds come at 48 seconds after you initiated the startup, or is there some other process duration the logs do not account for?

There is an existing formal report of exceptionally long start up times. I see you have already reported your results there, but I'll share it for the benefit of others who are interested in the subject:

github.com/arduino/arduino-ide

The startup takes a long time

Liferme

conclusion: duplicate topic: code type: imperfection

**Describe the bug** When starting up the APP, it frozes with the splash screen… and a running icon beind, it always takes 10mins or more to get fully loaded. **To Reproduce** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Go to Applications 2. Click on 'Arduino IDE' 3. See error **Expected behavior** Only few seconds to get load up. **Screenshots** <img width="988" alt="截屏2021-05-20 上午12 24 29" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/43876889/118849048-ebf8f780-b901-11eb-8c7e-bc422ad2d424.png"> **Desktop (please complete the following information):** - OS: MacOS Big Sur (11.3) - Version: Arduino IDE 2.0.0 beta7

It would be interesting to get the command line output from others who are experiencing these long startup times. I see that you were the only one to report such at the link above (the others are from someone not experiencing the problem and another experiencing a different problem). If we can identify a specific stage of the startup that is taking an unusually long time, that might help to find the cause.

In RC5 the problem still occurs. I use Windows11.
224 seconds!

In expert mode I can see two errors that seems to be associated with the long start up

The first error point at this line:

            const sketch = await this.sketchServiceClient.currentSketch();
            if (sketch && !(await this.sketchService.isTemp(sketch))) {

                this.toDisposeOnStop.push(this.fileService.onDidFilesChange(async (event) => {
                    for (const { type, resource } of event.changes) {

                            const reloadedSketch = await this.sketchService.loadSketch(sketch.uri);

                }));
            }
        });
    }
    async onStart(app) {

Just above the async onStart(app) {

The second error points to the first line here:

       export function log(name: string, logLevel: number, message: string, params: any[]): void {
        const console = consoles.get(logLevel) || originalConsoleLog;
        const severity = (LogLevel.strings.get(logLevel) || 'unknown').toUpperCase();
        console(`${name} ${severity} ${message}`, ...params);
    }

Solved the problem.

RC3 was installed "Only for me" instead "For all users".

When RC5, and probably all RC.. installations, was installed "For all users" RC3 was not properly uninstalled.
I removed RC5 and restarted the PC
I installed RC3 "Only for me" and uninstalled it again and restarted the PC
Then I removed the folder c:\Users\ednie.arduinoIDE\
And Installed RC5 again.
Now it takes 10 seconds to see the editor

unfortunatly the problem is not solved for me - rc5 on windows 10.
Sometimes IDE 2 takes a very long time to start.
Sometimes it refuses starting within 5 min .
And sometimes it starts at once (10-15 sec) .

I tried reinstaling for all users and for one user too.
(It seems, as if it was faster, when I start from a cmd-window )
Any ideas I could try?

Hi @tomasherrmann0. Thanks for your interest in the Arduino IDE 2.0.0 release candidate.

I'm going to ask you to post some additional information that might help us to identify the problem.

Please do this:

Start File Explorer (AKA "Windows 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 & ".\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.

root ERROR Error while updating index in attempt 9.

It is spending a lot of time making multiple attempts to download these files. These are defined in the "Additional Boards Manager URLs" field.

There are two problems:

You have the ESP8266 URL twice, once using the http:// scheme, the other the https:// scheme.
You used a semicolon (;) instead of the supported comma (,) as separator between the ESP32 URL and the second ESP8266 URL.
You are using the old unsupported URL for ESP32. It was changed some months ago to the new one in the official documentation: Installing — Arduino-ESP32 2.0.14 documentation

Please try this:

Start the Arduino IDE.
Select File > Preferences... from the Arduino IDE menus.

Replace the current contents of the "Additional Boards Manager URLs" field with the following:

https://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json,https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json

Click the OK button.
Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus.

Now start the Arduino IDE again. Do you notice any difference in startup time?

An annoying thing that might give the impression that the IDE is slow to start up is this bug:

conclusion: resolved topic: code type: imperfection

**Describe the bug** If the loading project Windows is minimised while the appl…ication is starting the starting process will not continue and the splash screen will stay visible indefinitely (or at least for an abnormally longer amount of time). **To Reproduce** 1. Start application 2. Minimise the loading project window 3. Loading will not continue and splash screen stays visible **Expected behavior** Starting will continue or the splash screen will be minimised along with the window **Screenshots** ![Long](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/81077770/115137013-c2c91b00-a066-11eb-93dc-b2096e70b7e6.gif) (Stalls at splash screen for some time) **Desktop (please complete the following information):** - OS: macOS Big Sur 11.2.3 - Version: 2.0.0-beta.5-nightly.20210418

IDE does not load until you return to the Arduino IDE screen and click on something

conclusion: resolved topic: code type: imperfection criticality: medium

If you attempt to multitask while the IDE is loading, the IDE does not load unti…l you return to the Arduino IDE screen and click on something. IDE Version > Version: 2.0.0-beta.3 Date: 2021-02-26T10:48:13.025Z CLI Version: 0.16.1 alpha [76f55490]

The normal slowness of the Arduino IDE startup leads the impatient like myself to try to multitask around the edges of that "always on top" splash screen. but the Arduino IDE will never complete the startup while you are doing that. You must finally maximize the window (maybe even click on it in some cases?) to finalize the startup. That can give the impression of exceptional slowness when really it is hanging at that final window loading step, which is a different situation from a performance-based slowness.

Hi ptillisch, thank you very much for analyzing my troubles (-: and for the actual URL .
Now the startup-time is about 1min 15sec. Anyway: the ide doesn´t "hang"...

Pls tell me if there is more I could try.

Hi all. I'm happy to tell you there is some work in progress to improve the startup time of the Arduino IDE:

Above, you list using Windows Powershell and the '& ".\Arduino IDE"' command. What are the equivalent steps for Linux?

ptillisch · October 30, 2022, 5:41pm

Hi @fdecker. Assuming you are using the AppImage package of the IDE, these are the Linux version of the instructions

Open a command line terminal in the folder that contains the AppImage file.

Type the following command:

./arduino-ide_TODO_VERSION_Linux_64bit.AppImage

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 terminal window if the Arduino IDE window took the focus.
Use the mouse to select all the text in the terminal window. Make sure to scroll all the way up to the top.
Press Ctrl+Shift+C.
This will copy the selected text to the clipboard.
