Looks like I'm getting confused and dismayed with my attempts to run the profiler. Any help from any NetBeans user would be appreciated.
Thanks, Owen. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Owen Thomas <owen.paul.tho...@gmail.com> Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2018 at 20:11 Subject: Re: Novice Profiling Question. To: <v...@ricker.us> This is strange... When I start my application from the profiler with the profile view set to Objects, I see the objects that make up my application. I can switch the view to Telemetry, and the telemetry view appears. But when I switch the view back to Objects, nothing appears. Instead, I get the following in my application console output: Profiler Agent Error: Exception when handling command from client: java.io.IOException: JFluid wire protocol error: code does not correspond to command or response. Value -1 Profiler Agent: Connection with agent closed I ensured the application was completely compiled by selecting Clean and Build from the projects menu before I ran it. I'm finding this perhaps a little confusing... On Sat, 24 Nov 2018 at 17:40, Vic Ricker <v...@ricker.us> wrote: > Did you check the objects being created? Do they interact with anything > else?
