Omnis Studio Community macOS no longer starts after "Force Quit"
Hi all,
I am a new user to Omnis, I tried to create a project and build it for macOS.
As it was saying “building” for 10 minutes… I decided to “Force Quit” Omnis Studio and since then it refuses to start.
I have tried to delete the application and re-install it. Delete the preferences with
defaults read net.omnis.omnisStudio.Dev.11.0With no luck. I seed multiple crash files in
~/Library/Application\ Support/Omnis/Omnis\ Studio\ Community\ Edition\ 11/logs/crashes/reports/pendingOK, after deleting
~/Library/Application\ Support/Omnis, the application started OKRegard

Hello David,
It could be that if you accidentally created some code, i.e. an infinity loop in a $construct that Omnis will just show a spinning wheel, i.e. and seems unresponsive.
However there are several techniques you can use to come around such a situation.
By default Omnis Studio 11 will open all libraries that have not been closed the last time when Omnis has been shut down. That said it will then also try to run the library that might have the tricky loop. You can change this in the config.json file that sits inside the Omnis /studio folder in the application support folder. See also: https://www.omnis.net/developers/resources/onlinedocs/Programming/02libsandclasses.html#starting-omnis-with-a-file
Another way to not run any code in the library is holding down the “option” key when opening the library.
There is also a keyboard shortcut “Cmnd+Opt+I” that would allow to interrupt code execution in an endless loop. See also https://www.omnis.net/developers/resources/onlinedocs/Programming/04debug.html#keyboard-shortcuts
I hope this helps.
Best,
Andreas
