Re: [OpenBD] Re: OpenBD Desktop 3.0 breakage

[Alan Holden]

We use the Desktop as our development environment for OpenBD projects. I find it incredibly useful to just press the button to package a complete WAR - that we can then deploy on CloudBees or Tomcat for staging & production releases. Our CFML is in Subversion, but having the exact-same ENGINE AND CFML traverse the higher environments together as a package - is the ultimate in tight source control ;-] But having our OpenBD Desktop mysteriously descend into ClassNotFound hell for a few days (longer in your case), certainly affects the deadlines! It's an added frustration when we can't establish the causation. See? That's a cute little rhyme I just wrote there... I would suggest we attempt a rigorous comparison of running processes when this thing does and doesn't work, perhaps toggle our AV protection off and on, SOMETHING to help pin down WHY this great little program suddenly goes permissions-bipolar on us.

It's a hard situation, on the one hand I love OpenBD (Hell, I made a CMS especially for it, which I'm working on the next version of) but on the other hand I can't reliably even test the latest version without setting up a full server (Even if it's just a virtual machine). I know it's free, and open source, and I don't have any feelings of being owed anything by the developers, but many of my questions and bugs seem to go unnoticed or unanswered here, which means projects I can't do, new versions I can't try, and so on, and since I'm not a Java developer I can't really do much of anything with the bugs I run into. I guess one of my main complaints about OpenBD is the lack of communication, second up is lack of documentation (some tags have no info at all, and aren't implement like in CF, and some tags have not enough, in both cases it requires work, in some cases quite a bit, to just get it working). OpenBD 2.0.2 Desktop runs perfectly, I don't think I've ever had a single hickup with it, so I wonder what changed between Desktop versions, it's not just the engine version, probably Jetty and Java versions too.

I've had theories like these as well. Unfortunately, I'm always drawn back to my most recent experience: It worked last night. I closed the app, turned off the PC and went to bed. The next day, the app had no history when it started up, and threw the ClassNotFoundException. Two days later, I tried a shorter path and they ALL started working again. None of them had spaces btw. But I did NOT change any path names, file names, ANYTHING. Obviously though, OpenBD app - or my PC - DID. Unless someone else can set me straight, the exception above means that 1) the resource has moved or 2) the process is not being allowed to access it. Not a lot of other possibilities there. One theory could be something in an updater or virus protection (I use AVG) - that suddenly & silently decides a critical file off-limits for a while. While it's not fair to expect our desktop app heroes to magically fix everything PC - it would be nice to get just a little more console insight into what steps are being cleared ("file found...", "file not found...", "resource in use...") - or not - during startup.

Some folders it works just fine, and some folders it just throws tons of errors in console, starting with these two lines: 2013-12-29 12:29:26.920:WARN:oejw.StandardDescriptorProcessor:Could not instantiate listener com.naryx.tagfusion.cfm.application.cfHttpSessionListener java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.naryx.tagfusion.cfm.application.cfHttpSessionListener So right now I have a single folder that seems to run fine with desktop, C:\open I've tried making other folders in C: to no avail, and subfolders such as C:\open\cfwheels fails with the errors as well. No idea who's been working on the Desktop version, or who can decipher the errors and maybe work on fixing them, I certainly can't. The full downside is that I can't properly test anything above 2.0.2, except for this one folder that seems to magically work  :/ On Sunday, December 29, 2013 12:03:24 AM UTC-6, Marcus F wrote: Progress! After finally sitting down with 3.0 (And 3.1, nightly) OpenBD Desktop I've made a little progress. It seems that for me, the issue is two-fold. First off: No spaces in the pathname! Second off: Context path needs to be set to / and not \ And this seems to have fixed the issue, at least for the moment, I'll be doing some tests to see if it stays "unbroken" this time.

I've not been able to get it working more than sporadically, so I haven't been able to test out 3.0 properly.

I ran the desktop against a 1-line index.cfm file I had placed in a folder on my own desktop, and it launched without the errors. It then launched against my other real apps too. The "ClassNotFoundException" is somewhat telling. Because nothing has changed in my Win7 volume, one might assume that (despite my attempts to assuage them) there's something applying a process or permissions hold on my little OpenBD desktop classpath files. Whatever it was, it seemed to survive multiple reboots - as I noted below. And now the problem is gone, for the time being. It sure would be nice to know what could immobilize my development process for days like that. Does anyone know of some better analysis tools besides explorer & task manager?

But now - almost a year later, I sit down to my OpenBD 3.0 desktop and the SAME THING happens to me. I was just using this yesterday! First it opened up with none of the path or launch options from last night, and when I pressed Start it threw the same errors that Marcus saw last March. Same version 3.0 [3rd March 2013] I've tried restarting my PC, downloading and unzipping a whole new desktop, opening permissions, verifying Java, checking and un-checking all the option boxes, and launching with different projects. But unlike my friends of last spring, I'm stuck and unable to continue development no matter how many times I tweak and restart this thing. Any advice from the publishers - or hints at any actions beyond those listed above - would be helpful.
