CodeLite IDE

Hi there,

This happened to me several times now and I can't figure out why this would happen.
When I execute Codelite. Nothing happens. No error, nothing. I tried running it with the commandline. Still nothing.

Codelite pops up for a second in the taskmanager and then kills itself.

Anyone know why this would happen? My hunch is that either one configuration file has gone bad. Or a Registry key is at fault.

First, a guideline for posting on this forum:
HOW TO POST

Try deleting your codelite's user folder from:

codelite does not use the registry

I found this though in appdata/codelite:
[ 20:31:27:702 ERR ] Failed to load configuration file: C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeLite/config/codelite.xml

Removed the codelite.xml in %appdata%/codelite/config.
It Starts now. Some settings are gone though. The library paths are still in tact.

Thanks!

Any idea why the XML would fail to load?

Probably corrupted XML
Try open it in an text editor and see if it is intact. I would check that end of the file to see if it cut in the middle

Should have done that first. Deleted it already. But thanks again!

I had the same problem today. Left codelite running over night and Windows did some updates and rebooted. I think the file was corrupted when windows shut down codelite

codelite.log had this entry.

[ 15:03:15:620 ERR ] Failed to load configuration file: C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeLite/config/codelite.xml

Looking at the file under programmers note pad, looks corrupted. Renamed it codelite.bad.xml and codelight starts again.

Suggestions:

Might make sense to save a back up of codelite.xml and use that if codelite.xml is corrupt.
And or put up a pop up window with a more detailed error.
