Error on Startup on MacOSX
Locked
 
|
I am using VW 7.4 NC and experiencing problems at startup when using my
development image. Just after loading the image, a debug window pops up with "Unhandled exception: a primitive has failed". However, trying to enter the debugger to find out what has caused the problem fails: the debugger opens, but all the panes are empty and the debugger window itself goes dead, and cannot closed anymore. Any suggestion?

It's hard to tell too much without more information. It sounds like you do get the basic error window. If it's gotten that far, then instead of hitting the "Debug" button, hit "Copy Stack". That should put the stack into the standard OS clipboard, and you can paste it into some other application, and get a bit more information about what's going wrong.

I sometimes get that exception in development (MacOSX), and I never
manage to correct my corrupted image. So I just close the exception window (it is generally possible), publish my work, and build a new development image.

Hi Vincent, that's almost exactly what I ended up doing---I rebuilt a new image from the changes file. Everything works fine again now. James Robertson suggested to change the color depth in the OS, but that does not seem to help. Anyways, problem disappeared.
