Running into bugs in the cloud IDE with lots of files

Cloud
1

I am now at 43 cpp / h / ino files in my project, and some bugs are beginning to show:

  • Sometimes the file tabs are all there, sometimes only 6 or so tabs are there (and the one I am currently editing does not show)

  • It is becoming a pain to tell which tab I should select if i can see less than the first letter of the tab/filename

  • The build is starting to be affected: sometimes it does not know when files have changed. I know this because I can see my changes in the editor but during a compile error it shows an old method signature. It usually starts working again if I begin re-changing files in different ways and re-saving. But it is hard to tell which of the many files I need to re-edit.

For more involved projects, the Particle Dev might suit your needs better. Give it a try, shouldn’t be too different.
As for the points you’ve mentioned, @suda might be able to use those :smile:

I have switched over using the atom editor on ubuntu linux.
It was going great for a while.

Now I have suddenly got the error "build didn’t produce binary Error: Command failed: /spark/co…"
Clicking on this shows “there were no compile errors”

Where do I look for more information about whats happening?

I opened the Atom developer console, and after a while I saw two instances of this:

Unhandled promise rejection Rejectedhandled: falseid: 1reported: truevalue: Error: invalid_clientmessage: "invalid_client"stack: (...)get stack: function () { [native code] }set stack: function () { [native code] }__proto__: d__proto__: Rejected with error: Error: invalid_client

Not really sure if this is related or not.

Once I realized the Atom editor is a webkit page, it made sense to explore the developer console.

In there I found the full error that is not showing up like it used to and is all being crammed into the truncated status-bar

I will file a bug report in spark-dev

I think I can fix the actual error, I have seen it before, something about not setting a virtual function to empty or something.

I’m seeing this error too. It wasn’t there 3 days ago.
Nothing on my end has changed.
Is this something that can be fixed on the Particle end?

Thanks for any insight,
Brent
