[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-3158) netbeans 11.1 requests
re-installation of nbjavac plugin and fails.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3158?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16964991#comment-16964991 ]
Manuel Iglesias commented on NETBEANS-3158:
-------------------------------------------
I wanted to document the bug and tried this: {
Initial conditions:
- Running 'netbeans.11.2'
- '$HOME/.netbeans' doesn't exist. # Original directory renamed to '.netbeans.bak'.
- '$HOME/.cache/netbeans' doesn't exist. # Original directory renamed to 'netbeans.bak'.
- '$HOME/Temp/Test' empty.
netbeans
# New project created to trigger plug-in installation. 'nbjavac' & 'javafx' plugins installed. Tools/Plugins/Installed (11), Activated: User Installed Plugins, Java SE, Tools, Base IDE. Exit.
'$HOME/.netbeans/11.2/var/log/messages.log': messages00.log
netbeans --userdir $HOME/Temp/Test/.netbeans/11.2 --cachedir $HOME/Temp/Test/.cache/netbeans/11.2
# New project created to trigger plug-in installation. 'nbjavac' & 'javafx' plugins installed. Tools/Plugins/Installed (11), Activated: User Installed Plugins, Java SE, Tools, Base IDE. Exit.
netbeans
# Tools/Plugins/Installed (11), Activated: User Installed Plugins, Java SE, Tools, Base IDE. Exit.
'$HOME/.netbeans/11.2/var/log/messages.log': messages01.log
netbeans --userdir $HOME/Temp/Test/.netbeans/11.2 --cachedir $HOME/Temp/Test/.cache/netbeans/11.2
# Tools/Plugins/Installed (11), Activated: User Installed Plugins, Java SE, Tools, Base IDE. Exit.
netbeans
# Tools/Plugins/Installed (11), Activated: User Installed Plugins, Java SE, Tools, Base IDE. Exit.
'$HOME/.netbeans/11.2/var/log/messages.log': messages02.log
netbeans --userdir $HOME/Temp/Test/.netbeans/11.2 --cachedir $HOME/Temp/Test/.cache/netbeans/11.2
# Tools/Plugins/Installed (11), Activated: User Installed Plugins, Java SE, Tools, Base IDE. Exit.
netbeans
# Tools/Plugins/Installed (11), Activated: User Installed Plugins, Java SE, Tools, Base IDE. Exit.
'$HOME/.netbeans/11.2/var/log/messages.log': messages03.log
....................
}
Intending to post the report with 'messages00.log' .. 'messagesXX.log' attached. To my surprise I went up to 'messages20.log' without reproducing the bug.
In the other tests I had carried out, with 'netbeans.11.2', I had just started the tests by removing '$HOME/.netbeans/11.2' directory (leaving '$HOME/.netbeans/11.1' with my configuration data) and the bug had appeared after 5 or 6 runs (Tools/Plugins/Installed 10, Activated: Java SE, Tools). It could be that the bug has something to do with reading previous configurations.
I think I have found a way to solve my problem:
Starting with an empty '.netbeans' for every user directory, installing 'nbjavac' & 'javafx' plugins, exiting and then replacing everything in '.netbeans/11.2/config', except subdirectory 'Modules', by the old configuration contents ('.netbeans.bak/11.1/config').
After that I have cycled 15 times through my 3 different 'users' (and saving '.netbeans/11.2/var/log/messages.log', just in case) without being able to reproduce the bug.
I think the bug is still there and that some users will have problems when they update netbeans to a new version.

> Installed plugins data seems to get corrupted with normal use. 'netbeans' then requests re-installation of 'nbjavac' plugin which fails.
> Problem can be reproduced in this way:
> # Run 'netbeans' without --userdir & --cachedir options # Default values '$HOME/.netbeans/11.1' & '$HOME/.cache/netbeans/11.1'. First run.
> Open new project so that installation of 'nbjavac' & 'javafx' plugins is triggered.
> Install plugins and exit.
> # Run 'netbeans' with --userdir $HOME/Test/.netbeans/11.1 --cachedir $HOME/Test/.cache/netbeans/11.1 options. # First run.
> Open new project so that installation of 'nbjavac' & 'javafx' plugins is triggered.
> Install plugins and exit.
> Run sequentially:
> * netbeans
> * netbeans --userdir $HOME/Test/.netbeans/11.1 --cachedir $HOME/Test/.cache/netbeans/11.1
> After a few times:
> * Directory $HOME/.netbeans/11.1/config/Modules is empty.
> * 'netbeans' requests re-installation of 'nbjavac' (which fails).
> * Tools/Plugins/Installed shows that there are no active plugins.
> EDIT: It seems that it may not be necessary to run, sequentially, 'netbeans' & 'netbeans --userdir ... --cachedir ...'
> to reproduce the bug. I started netbeans (running 'netbeans') and before its window appeared (it takes a few seconds)
> I tried to close an editor (another application). Just when I mouse-clicked the netbeans' window appeared and I closed
> netbeans instead of the editor. Next time I started 'netbeans' the bug appeared (plugins data corrupted, etc).
