Fragile IDE and erratic behaviour

Hi,

I have recently moved to a new laptop
and been having erratic IDE behavior,
No real pattern, mostly if I restart the IDE, or even my Laptop fixes the problem.

Attached an example of the type of errors that I’m getting, in this case I did a compile of 12 apps in a solution and on the last one, it’s almost as if it loses the connection to a file and then goes off piste.

Is there anything I should try?
Is this template related? or config files?

Any tips or ideas welcome.

thanks

Johan


Hi,

An update, so in this case, the fix.
Restart the IDE
Load that specific APP and remake oinly that app, it fails again.

However, I restart the IDE again,
Load and make the data app, 100%
then load the problem app, and now it compiles perfectly.

Update

Have reset the IDE using the menu option,
renamed the registry file, and re-created the registry

Seems stable now,
However am getting this error now on 2 apps.
But no clue as which TPL has the problem.

GEN: Unknown Variable ‘%ABCVersion’

thanks

Hi,

Restored a backyp registry file from my previous laptop.
Working now, so in the rebuilding of the registry file there seems to be a problem with an incorrect TPL or something.

Would be nice to be able to understand on how to trace that error in the code generation from the tpl’s and fix it

Is there a way to trace the template access and code generation to show where on what is causing the error?

thanks
Johan

Export the apps in question to TXA files and search the TXA file for %ABCVersion.

%ABCversion is a template symbol (variable), I cant find it in the C6 templates, so its probably a template symbol for a 3rd party template thats in use, but I havent got C11 installed yet.

In the case where template symbols are causing problems, after loading the app into the appgen, go into all your global templates, toggle something, then click ok to save and exit the global template and move onto the next one.
