I am using an SFTP connection with user and password yes. It lets me login and everything and I see the files in the tabs it just freezes up, mostly when loading the project. I can still click on things but than 5 seconds later it freezes up again for a minute.
I have 3 projects, when I open Komodo it asks me if I want to restore my last session which I agree to. From than on it asks me for login for my first project, once I enter it, it freezes up for a bit(normal on Komodo 8.5 even), than asks me if I want to restore my opened files which I say ok(another short freeze but again normal). Once I have repeated this procedure for all 3 projects(would be nice if this process was in async but that is another story) I now have everything open. Now I have access I can type or click menu options and stuff for a few seconds and than a freeze for a minute or 2 of everything. than again I have access and than a freeze again. And this keep repeating.
Does it freeze when you choose not to restore anything?
I’m seeing something similar on Mac OS X Yosemite. When I have remote files open and I switch back to Komodo from another application, it takes about 3 seconds for Komodo to respond. My logo file looks similar to that of “Know”.
Trying on a fresh instance, the freeze may be dependent on the amount of remote files open. I tried same thing fabrizim did by opening remote files and going back and forth and I got freezes. The more remote files open, the longer the freeze I think.
Open Komodo preferences and select the Editor category, then uncheck the Detect when network files are changed outside the environment. Komodo will still detect any file changes when it saves. Does that help?
Note: Komodo re-checks the file status when switching applications.
Hi all,
I have the same behavior and i created a report on https://github.com/Komodo/KomodoEdit/issues/70 (FYI)
I want to test the @toddw sugerence but i don’t see that setting on my preferences…
Toggle “Show Advanced” at the bottom left.
Done, but without change for me, the same behavior.
But if i uncheck the option “Detect when files are changed outside the environment” Komodo edit 9 works very well without hangs.
Same as Richzendy, when I did Network files it didn’t work, but when I did for ALL files it works. With disabling check on all files, I was even able to restore my 3 projects without lag after they loaded initially.
Is there any options or plans for Komodo to pull from the network asynchronously? (Even without this issue, it takes about 5-10 minutes for me to restore my 3 projects data because it goes 1 file at a time instead of doing them all at once)
Has anyone ever found a remedy for this? I love Komodo, but I’ve already begun looking and downloading alternatives… I don’t want to pay another license fee for different software, but every time my Komodo IDE window receives focus, it takes a full 60 seconds before i can actually type anything… then if i switch to my browser and refresh a page, then come back to Komodo IDE i have to wait another full 60 seconds before I can use it.
Literally right now the majority of my dev time is spent waiting for Komodo… is this the way it is, using Komodo, or is there some kind of workaround that will make Komodo nearly as useful as other IDEs?
Do you work with remote servers in Komodo by change?
I do, yes. But I’ve tried the suggestions that I’ve seen here and elsewhere, and it was never an issue before a few months ago… I’ve used it for quite a while without any issue.
And just to clarify, I love Komodo… I’m just an immature @hat when things don’t go perfect lol
If you can suggest anything else, or need some more info let me know… and thanks!
Okay, in this case disable Detect when files are changed outside the environment in Preferences - Editor. This helped me and should help you.
I’ve had that disabled for a while now, I didn’t notice any difference after de-selecting it
Did you restarted Komodo? It works fine to me, like Komodo don’t hang on remote files when I switch from any window to Komodo.
This issue is obviously not resolved. You ppl found a workaround which is great, but it cripples the ide’s functionality. I already had a case where I overwritten incoming changes from git by mistake because of open files in the editor. I have to admit it was partly my fault, but still we shouldn’t have to disable this feature only because not using a local filesystem.
The resolved status on the forums is only used to indicate the status of the thread. We do not use the forums for bug tracking. ie. the question was answered.
In other words, a “resolved” status on the forums in no way implies the status of a bug.
I’m just saying having the “Resolved” flag in the title is misleading. The workaround only helps when Komodo is already running, and the original question is related to the huge startup delay caused by this bug.
So here is the original problem, and the steps to reproduce it:
- Start a vpn connection
- Open Komodo
- Use the “Open Remote Directory” feature to load a filesystem from a remote server accessible on the vpn you just connected to
- Open a file from this remote directory
- Close Komodo
- Disconnect vpn
- Open Komodo again
At this point you are going to experience a long delay before anything is drawn to the screen. Nothing signals Komodo has even launched for minutes, which is unacceptable in my humble software developer opinion, and should be considered as a usability bug at minimum.
I’m not asking you to implement async loading, but to treat the sideeffects of not having it. An indicator of some kind, maybe a progress bar could be enough to let the user know Komodo is working, or waiting, or doing something that is blocking.
