graphite simulator

[will]

Anyone else having problems with projects not loading in the graphite simulator? We have several different machines here that are no longer able to load many of the projects in a simulator.

Hello Will,

Thank you for your feedback, but as this is the first report on this can you help us troubleshoot it:

Can you open in simulator a new fresh project?

Can you open the same project in Mist simulator?

Is the same project works on device?

Good Morning Jordan,
I created a new jquery project called teleriktroubleshooting
The simulator works
I switch projects using the dashboard and the simulator sits and spins on the "loading" screen for our other apps (3 different computers same project from GIT)
I closed icenium and opened our original project and the simulator still has the blue spinning loading.
The projects compile and push to devices just fine, it is just the simulator

Hello Will,

We are able to reproduce your problem. It looks like there is an issue with the Simulator when you have empty folders in your project. This is logged in our tracking system and will be fixed in our next release. A workaround would be to delete all empty folders and then start the Simulator.

Feel free to contact us if you have any problems.

All the best,
Kristina

Wow,  Thanks for the troubleshooting assistance :) We will remedy this on our end.  I understand it is a bug, but it is avoidable as well.  Thank you and keep up the good work.  We are excited about this product.

I ran into the same problem.  Removing the empty folder did fix the issue and the simulator is working now.  Just wanted to write in so that you are aware that it is happening to others.

Thanks for the work around!

I'm getting the same problem in Graphite now and don't have any empty folders. I run the simulator and it shows the blue spinning circle that says "Loading" for ever without ever loading.

Same here as reported by J. don't have any empty folders. The simulator only shows the blue spinning circle that says "Loading".

[Keith]

1. I started having the same problem on my project. The Simulator launches and displays the blue spinning circle saying "Loading...". I do not have any empty folders.

2. A found a temporary fix.
a. Close Graphite.
b. Select an alternate project like the sample ICE_Airlines.
c. Launch the Simulator and it appears without a problem.
d. Go to the Dashboard and selected my project and it now loads in the Simulator.
e. However, any code changes does not reset the Simulator and I have to switch between projects to see the changes. Note: Clicking on Reload or Refresh does not work.
3. Graphite does compile to a device but something is messed up in the Simulator.

4. Any other solution to this issue? Will a reinstall help?

Regards,
Keith

Hello Keith,

We have pushed a maintenance release for Icenium Graphite which fixes the simulator issue. We have also applied a fix for your "broken" project and everything should work on your side as well.

Thanks for the heads up and sorry for the inconvenience this might caused you.

Kind regards,

Hi Stefan,

Wow! and Thank you! It is working now as of around half hour ago. I could see something was being done at your end as I was working on my project. I have updated ICE Graphite to the new release.

I have to ask regarding your comment on "broken" project. Is it something that was done by mistake on my part?

Best Regards,
Keith

[Stefan Dobrev]

Hi Keith,

You have done nothing wrong on your side. The problem was totally on our end and it is already solved. Thanks for being vocal about this and stay tuned.

I'm having the same issue with the latest version of Graphite.  Keith's workaround is also working for me, but would like a permanent solution.  Any updates on a permanent fix?

Hi,

The simulator would not work whenever there are missing files from your project, that is why editing it manually is not recommended and this is not a supported scenario. Our suggestion is to create a blank project and copy your files from the existing project over to it, this way you would guarantee there are no missing files/folders.

Hi Steve,

I created a blank project and then obtained the necessary file and folder additions via:

find . -type d -not -path '.' -not -path './App_Resources' -not -path './App_Resources/*' > /tmp/directories.txt
echo ' ' >> /tmp/directories.txt
sed -i '{:q;N;s/\.\//\ \<Folder\ Include\=\"/g;t q}' /tmp/directories.txt
sed -i '{:q;N;s/\n\ /\"\ \/\>\n/g;t q}' /tmp/directories.txt
find . -type f -not -name '*.proj' -not -path './App_Resources/*' > /tmp/files.txt
echo ' ' >> /tmp/files.txt
sed -i '{:q;N;s/\.\//\ \<Content\ Include\=\"/g;t q}' /tmp/files.txt
sed -i '{:q;N;s/\n\ /\"\ \/\>\n/g;t q}' /tmp/files.txt

The resulting proj file looked like: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5312835

I recognize this is an unsupported technical process and I'll use your recommended approach of uploading an archive into a pre-existing project instead.

I recently cloned a project. When I attempt to run in the simulator I get the blue spinner with 'Loading..'. My development partner does not have the same problem after cloning the same project. Please advise.

Many thanks,
Todd

Hey Todd,

We've noticed that you have some file entries in your project file that are not present in the file system. We have deleted them and everything should be working fine now. Please keep in mind that your file structure is described in your project file, and if some entry is missing from your file system, the Simulator will show Loading screen. We are working on improving that behavior, so stay tuned!

Please contact us if you have any other problems.

Kristina
