Anyone else have the latest CFBuilder crashing constantly?

I've been re-testing CFBuilder over the last week and *every* time I run it, it locks up after a few minutes of normal use.  It just decides to stop working even when I'm just editing files. I'm running Win7 Home Premium 64-bit.  It's responding well (when it's running) on my new development machine, but the crashing is driving me crazy. I'll try a delete and re-install, too.  Anyone know of any issues running CFB on 64-bit Win7? Thanks, Rick

Go to the preferences, Coldfusion > Server Settings and uncheck "build server settings". I'd also uncheck Coldfusion > Startup "build CFC's in project on startup". It worked better for me with those disabled. - Gabriel On Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 10:01 AM, Rick Faircloth <Rick@whitestonemedia.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Thanks for the tip, Gabriel... I did that upon startup this time and so far, so good. We'll see what happens after more time.

For me, CFB beta 3 has been unstable to a point where I went back to text editors to get work done. There is a problem when I cut and paste a lot. Every paste would set off something in CFB which seemed to need to time out before it came back to life. Also, there were problems when I would type a double quote and CFB would go numb on me for a while. I definitely had to watch the screen as I typed since I had no idea when it would go mental on me. I ended up turning off all the "helpers" in the system which turns it into a fancy text editor and allows me to get work done. I sure hope they fix all these problems before it goes into production. I assumed that there would be another beta, but that may not happen. ---- Rick Faircloth <Rick@WhiteStoneMedia.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Cutting and pasting chews through memory very quickly, it was raised as a bug and Adobe just closed it straight away. Now that either means it is fixed or they are not going to fix it so let's see. But as I described to Adobe, I went from 77mb of heap space and after copying and pasting about 5 to 10 times from another file my heap space had grown out to 250mb before ColdFusion Builder then crashed. There are a lot of memory leaks with ColdFusion Builder, that just ends up chewing through memory way to fast.

I'm having the same problem on Win7 64-bit.  Build date of CFB shows Feb 27, 2010.

I am also having the same problem on Win7 64-bit.  It eventually caused me to go back to CFEcilpse. On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 9:41 AM, Jas ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Same problem here, also on Win 7 64 bit. Went back to CFEclipse less than 2 weeks after CFBuilder was officially released with no fix to this or the page jumping while editing long lines problem.

Mine crashes 3-4 times a day. Often after a fair amount of copying and pasting it seems. It's quite annoying.

I have the same cut-n-paste memory issues in the production version. I am giving it my 60 day trial before deciding on CFB vs CFE. This cut-n-paste lockup bug is very annoying. I find that I am retyping things rather than cut-n-paste frequently due to the bug. ---- Jas ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Have any of you reported this as a bug in the bug tracker? I just received notice from them that a bug I submitted is fixed and planned for updater 1. They are using the bug tracker and they do send out notifications. Wil Genovese http://www.trunkful.com

Hi Jason, Could you please check and re-confirm that you are on the final released build of ColdFusion Builder(CFB). There were stability issues in the Beta3 build but they were fixed post Beta3 and we had received feedback thereafter that the instability issues were resolved. Regarding the copy/paste issue that is being discussed, we are not able to see that in the Final build. So, I would request you to email the detailed reproducible steps to us at dsarkar@adobe.com. By the way, what is your install type - standalone or plugin? For plugin version, make sure you start eclipse with -clean option so that cached plugins are not loaded from older versions.

Spot on, I'm also on 64 bit windows 7, I had problems with Beta3 and uninstalled it to download the latest version, absolutely worked like a dream. The current project I'm doing also requires a lot of cutting and pasting of thousands of lines of code, it seems to work very fine for me. Matt

Thanks Matt, for confirming this! ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Well it exists, trust me I reported it Beta 1, 2, 3 and RC and it still exists in the final release. I have found that it sometimes happens when saving a file when I accidently hit ctrl + space at the same time. Not sure that is the exact cause but I have had that happen to me about 3-5 times now.

Thanks Scott. I did do that some time ago and it made almost no difference. I did install the standalone CFB version and some folks have suggested that I get Eclipse and then download the add on CFB version. I just haven't had the time and don't think that I will until the final CFB version is released. This brings up an issue that I think is common in the Eclipse world that I have not seen in other areas. People seem to expect to constantly update their editor. I don't expect that and perhaps that is a problem that I will need to overcome. I want to spend my time working on code, not on the tool. I got spoiled with Visual Studio. I also did most of my non MS work in a text editor only so this is one of my first experiences in IDEs except for VS. This may not be a problem with younger folks who are familiar with Eclipse based tools from school. CFBuilder is beta software so I can't complain a lot, but I am going to try out CFEclipse before I spring for it. ---- scott stewart <sstwebworks@bellsouth.net> wrote: > > In addition to this check out this stackoverflow thread on optimizing Eclipse > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/142357/what-are-the-best-jvm-settings-for-eclipse > > The caveat is that it assumes that you're using Eclipse 3.5 + > Once you have Eclipse's memory handling tweaked you should see better performance and  stability. -- http://www.linkedin.com/pub/roger-austin/8/a4/60 http://twitter.com/RogerTheGeek http://www.misshunt.com/ Home of the Clean/Dirty Magnet http://www.ncdevcon.com/ TACFUG 2010 Conference in North Carolina

One of the first things that I do with a fresh Eclipse install is jack up the ram limits in eclipse.ini. Basically everywhere I see 256 I bump it up to 512. If you find Eclipse getting slow try jacking up the ram. That will often speed things up considerably. G!

That's good to hear, thanks for the info. I don't know the exact schedule, but beta 3 expires March 31, so a new build should be available by then, at least.

To be fair - there is a fairly steep learning curve when moving from a non Eclipse environment to and Eclipse based environment.  Eclipse IS different that is for sure.
