Soho Posted June 20, 2012 Report Posted June 20, 2012 Lately we have been experiencing frequent visual studio 2010 crashes (not responding, only killable with task manager) when saving files (directly or indirectly). Something like 5-10 times a day. This occurs in multiple projects with and without crashable stuff like WPF designers. Some months ago we rarely experienced crashes. The only remotely relevant changes we can think of are updates to our ReSharper plugin and the Plastic plugin. I am not saying it is Plastic, which crashes, but it would like to rule it out. Does the Plastic plugin get triggered in some way when saving files in VS? Have anybody else experienced a more frequent share of non-responding Visual Studios lately? Can I enable detailed logging for the plugin to see if there is some pattern after a crash?
manu Posted June 21, 2012 Report Posted June 21, 2012 Hi Soho, can you please tell us your cm version, we fix some weeks ago an error related with the Ctrl+s action, it was published in the 4.1.10.292 release. The fix worked for everyone dealing with this issue. (http://www.plasticscm.net/index.php?/topic/972-vs2010-plastic-41-vs-integration-sporadic-ide-hangs/)
Soho Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Posted June 21, 2012 We definitely experienced the ctrl-s problem, but mostly when building or starting unit-tests, which causes a build, which sometimes causes a save. The crash I experienced when reporting here was not while saving. I will get back if I see a pattern or if the 4.1.10.296 release has solved the problem.
manu Posted June 22, 2012 Report Posted June 22, 2012 Yes please, try the new release. I think you will get is solved.
Soho Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Posted June 26, 2012 I think I can confirm that we are now back to "normal" crash-rate (a couple of times per week rather than a couple of times per hour).
manu Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 Well, two crashes per week is not a "normal" situation, can you describe the scenario where you are having the issues? Is is consistent?
manu Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 Do you get this error? https://plasticscm.uservoice.com/forums/15467-general/suggestions/2838323-visual-studio-integration-crashes-at-some-point-an
Soho Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Posted June 27, 2012 No, I haven't seen that one. I get a lot of the non-crashing ones, like this morning where it could not check in because it claimed my current changeset was null. Checking in with the Plastic GUI worked though.
manu Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Maybe we can schedule another gotomeeting in order to spend more time trying to understand why your VS plugin is failing so much. Is that ok?
Soho Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Posted June 28, 2012 These issues are not always easy to reproduce on command and when we get an issue we try to make a workaround as fast as possible, but I try to send a screendump occasionally to support. It would however be very nice, if you cleaned up some of those generic error message. Everyone hates to get null reference exceptions and similar. It gives you no clues how to workaround the problem.
