We updated JDK used in editor (and reverted it back) (and released it again)

vlaaad · March 12, 2019, 9:19am

We just released an update to editor-alpha channel where we updated JDK used in editor (8 → 11), as well as some other dependencies. Most notable is JavaFX update that solves macOS Mojave issue: from now on, no workarounds should be necessary

If you experience problems, please report them. Meanwhile, you also can use stable release.

Bob still should work with both jdk 8 and jdk 11.

What do you think?

Edit: an issue have been found that prevents editor to start after update. We are working on it. Workaround is a fresh install.

Edit: we reverted the update, will properly fix it, then release it again. The problem is applying update didn’t remove previously existing files, and newer JVM refuses to start when lib/ext directory is present (which remained from previous JDK version).

Edit: released a fixed update that should let editor start

Just update it. Can’t launch anymore on Mojave Going to download it from dashboard and try again…

Can you post latest editor log? Should be in /Users/<your-username>/Library/Application Support/Defold directory.

vlaaad · March 12, 2019, 9:49am

Thanks, that’s really helpful, we are on it. Fresh install (or deleting lib/ext directory) should fix it

dapetcu21 · March 12, 2019, 9:57am

Deleting lib/ext yields:

Fresh install from Dashboard and update doesn’t work for me… Error is the same.

I got this on Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon.

dapetcu21 · March 12, 2019, 10:05am

Yeah. Tried that as well. Fresh install works, but then it prompts for an update. I do the update and the same thing happens.

BunBunBun · March 12, 2019, 10:05am

I faced with the same, trying to fresh install.

AGulev · March 12, 2019, 10:08am

Sorry for that, we are working on the fix right now.
Clean install works:

selimanac · March 12, 2019, 10:08am

Is this something related to Java_Home?

dapetcu21 · March 12, 2019, 10:18am

Those links are incorrect. That points to an older version, which still prompts “Update available”, which then fails the same way. The correct links are at http://d.defold.com/alpha/

selimanac · March 12, 2019, 10:23am

This one works for me…

AGulev · March 12, 2019, 10:23am

It were links to the latest stable (works without update), but yes, you right. I’ve replaced links, thank you.

vlaaad · March 12, 2019, 10:43am

We reverted this update. Will properly fix it, then release it again.

vlaaad · March 13, 2019, 8:57am

We released OpenJDK update again, now I verified that on every platform you should be able to update from jdk 8 to jdk 11.

Klear · March 13, 2019, 3:17pm

I just got an error while updating, it says there was an error and that I should probably do a fresh install.

vlaaad · March 13, 2019, 3:20pm

Can you post editor logs? There is a document describing how to get them without opening editor.

Klear · March 13, 2019, 3:24pm

Here you go:editor2.2019-03-13.log.zip (19.8 KB)

Edit: After downloading a fresh copy, the update went through without a hitch.

vlaaad · March 13, 2019, 3:46pm

Thanks. The error is “The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open”. Created DEFEDIT-1604 in our internal issue tracker.
