Does it work if you start from the command line like below?

/usr/lib/erlang/bin/erl -name e7580_gojan_e9e70d_erlide@Gonux -setcookie erlide

If yes, could you please try to create a fresh workspace with no spaces in the path?
If no, it could be a problem with the node name - is your /etc/hosts properly configured?

Hi Vlad.

Thank you very much for Erlide and sorry for the late response.

The command you post works fine, so I try with a new workspace without spaces and it almost works. Now i got another issue when create a new source file. The window for the "new module" wizard freez on confirmation.

Should I create another ticket or modify this one?

For the record, this is my /etc/hosts file:

#
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#

#<ip-address>   <hostname.domain.org>   <hostname>
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
::1             localhost.localdomain   localhost

# End of file

hi,

Better open a new ticket and attach the logs. Thanks!


Can I close this issue?

Ok.

I'm already open another ticket for the new issue.
Yes, I think you can close this one.

Thanks

Sorry, I won't close it, but use it to see that we can use paths with spaces when launching.

Vlad, sorry for my bad testing but the issue is still happening :(

The confusion was that i can expand the project in the java perspective, with the package explorer, but in the erlang perspective Eclipse still freez.

Eclipse also freez if i try to open a source file from the java perspective in the erlang editor. I attach the log.

Regards.

I tried many variants of using spaces in the paths, and they all worked for me. Probably this means the problem is somewhere else.

Could you please test again with the latest from http://erlide.org/update_beta ? There have been some changes in this area.

Works for me, if I don't hear anything new soon I will close this ticket.

Still not working here.

Update to the las version available on http://erlide.org/update_beta and create a new project in the path '/home/gojan/Programacion/Erlang/Workspace/TestX/'. Eclipse stop responding when expand the project in the navigation view.

I attach the new log to this ticket.

Thanks. Unfortunately there is no hint in the log about what happens... I will see what I can do to get more information.

This looks like it has nothing to do with spaces in path name... Still can't reproduce or understand what is going on.

Your path '/home/gojan/Programacion/Erlang/Workspace/TestX/', is it written as here or is it "Programación"? It's a long shot, but Unicode paths could be a problem, I guess.

Yes. The path is ' /home/gojan/Programacion/Erlang/Workspace/TestX/'. I'm start thinking that maybe the problem is in my installation some where. Is there a way to debug erlide?

I really appreciate your attention.
Thank you very much.

Of course there is a way to debug erlide, but it depends on how much effort you are willing to invest. It helps a lot if you are familiar with Java and the Java debugger. It might take a couple of hours to setup the environment. There is also the issue that you need to have a working erlide installed in order to build erlide...

You have to have installed the Java environment JDT and the Plug-in development tools PDE.
Clone the source code repository from git@github.com:erlide/erlide.git
Import the project in Eclipse (there are some projects that aren't strictly needed, but it's easier to take them all). If there are any compilation errors for some projects, close them.
Create a launch configuration that launches an Eclipse instance with all the plugins in the workspace.
I suggest setting breakpoints at Backend.java:246 and ErlRuntime.java:69 and step into the code from there, but I'm not sure what to tell you to look for.
Start this launch configuration in debug mode. 


Thanks a lot if you will venture into trying to debug this. 

Hi again.

I could debug 'erlide' and reproduce my issue using the target "Erlide_tests (ui debug)". I attach the console output.
Maybe at this point you can tell me the steps to generate the more useful output for you. Meanwhile i will try to understand some of the 'erlide' code just for fun :)

PD:
For some reason after install and debug 'erlide' i got a folder '/home/gojan/c:/apps/eclipse352_ref/eclipse/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/profileRegistry/' created in my home.

Edit:
This are the steps to generate the 'erlide_debug_output.txt' file:
1 - Run the project with the target "Erlide_tests (ui debug)"
2 - Switch to the Erlang perspective
3 - Create a proyect called "MyTest" in the default workspace (/home/gojan/Programacion/runtime-tests/)
4 - Expand the project in the navigation view

You have to set up the Erlang runtimes first, when starting a new workspace and if the runtime is not in a "standard" place (we look at startup in places like "c:/program files", /usr/lib/erlang, etc).

Go to Window->preferences->erlang->installed runtimes and set up your runtime. See if that helps.


Regarding the c:\apps\eclipse352_ref... it's probably some path that is set up as in my environment, I will check that up.

My Erlang runtime is under /usr/lib/erlang but sometimes Erlide complains about it so i add the runtime but the behavior is the same.

Could you please be more specific? What is "sometimes" and what the complaint is? Without knowing that it's difficult to know what is wrong...

I can't reproduce, can't do anything about it at the moment...

please reopen if you see the problem again -- we would need help to trace the bug, because we can't reproduce it.
