Appstudio 9.0.7 - Cursor status is always busy

Dear Team:

Installed the latest version. Need to uninstall previous version, as app just hanged, with the cursor in busy mode. Also for electron users make sure you delete your electron build folder located in the project, otherwise you will get some errors at runtime with your app.

After completing install and rebooting - starting app studio the cursor stays in busy mode but you can click on menu items and change code and compile.

Happens on Windows 10 pc and Windows 11 Laptop (Hangs cannot do anything)

Windows 10 - Resolved - I have jqwidgets folder loaded locally - i have changed it to the website - i need it to be local. what version is the jqwidgets controls now used in Appstudio and once I download the latest version is there anything else I need to do to configure Appstudio besides changing the project framework for jqwidgets.

Thank you.

Still having issues, cursor busy mode and sometimes IDE does not allow you to view other forms just hangs. Have to reboot pc. Windows 11 is the same. I have not tried it yet on MacOS.

Any ideas ?

How can I reproduce this?

Also, have a look at the Log in the About screen. Any messages there?

At first I thought it was because I had a local copy of jwidgets folder, that does not seem to be the case. I have uninstalled AppStudio deleted folders and reloaded, still the same.

Latest log after IDE crashing trying open sample project sidebar.

Let’s try doing a complete reinstall…
https://wiki.appstudio.dev/Solutions_to_Common_Problems#How_can_I_do_a_complete_uninstall

exit AppStudio

Ok, that worked. As soon as I change my project to use the downloaded jqwidgets placed in a folder in my project which worked with previous version closing and re-open the project the cursor stays in busy mode also looking at task manager a number of orphan nodejs runtimes a left hanging in the system. So am guessing the issue is with have a local jqwidgets folder.

I’m sorry - it’s not clear to me. Are you OK now, or is there still an issue?

still an issue, reverts back to busy if i use the local jqwidgets framework i.e. download from the website and load contents into a folder called jqwidgets and change project framework property to point to the local folder.

Hope that make sense. Still not working if I use my copy of jqwidgets from website.

I’ll give that try here - thanks!

Here’s what I did:

  1. New project
  2. Added jqwidgets folder, downloaded from their website
  3. Set jqWidgetsPath in Project Properties
  4. Added a jqWidgets button to the Design Screen
  5. Ran the app.

No cursor status always busy.

Am I doing the right thing?

Could you try the same steps? It might indicate the problem lies elsewhere than jqWidgets.

Sorry, still having the busy cursor, and some of the jqwidgets are not displaying on the forms within ide, and several nodejs runtimes running even after ide closed. I am going back to the previous version on my main PC, and will experiement on my other device.

Thanks for you help.

I’d like to help with this, but so far I cannot make it happen here.

Next step might be to send me your project so I can try it.

The latest steps taken, which seem to work, although might need to reboot after using IDE for a while.

  1. Deleted the cache folder before opening project.
  2. Open project - the main form in the project has a number of containers controls (10) which have controls within like htmlview, jqxgrid, buttons. Some containers are not visible at design time, switch on during runtime. I think this form with the many controls is causing the IDE problems.

Once deleting the cache folder and reopen project, IDE started ok. On occassion the ide would hang or crash if I open another project.

Thats the latest in Windows 10 and Windows 11, not tried the specific project on MacOS yet.

Once again thank you for your help, hope this info helps.

Hi Team:

Update, Windows 10 and 11 still having intermittant problem with busy cursor and IDE crashes on occassion closing one project and opening another.

Just tested the same projects on MacOS all open with no problem no busy cursor. I have attached zip containing video of whats happenning.

Thanks. I believe you that is what you are seeing.

What we need is a way to reproduce it, so it can be fixed. Anything you can do to help us there will be very much appreciated.

Tried the Beta and no changes Windows 11. IDE still not loading … I have attached a windows application crash report. Note: it does not matter which project I try to change to it hangs or crashes.

Thank you.

I’m not sure I understand your first sentence.

At what point does AppStudio start working? Is it immediately on startup, or when you try to change projects?

Hi

Sorry for not making it clear.
Steps

  1. Open IDE loads last opened project fine.
  2. Try to open a form in the project it sometimes hangs or crashes.
  3. If try to open another project after step 1 cursor busy, you can click on some of the project forms but eventually it crashes or just hangs.

Hope that makes sense.

Thank you
