Help ! Can't 'search' in Studio any more

[dflachbart]

The weirdest thing: the search function in Studion ceased to work in my development STV. If I load the default STV, the search works fine. Here is the exception I get in the log:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

Any idea what this could be ?

This may not have anything to do with what your talking about (cause ur in studio) but last night I was watching a recording on my server/service mode on. And I get the "Connection to the server was lost" screen so I hit the Menu button and in a few seconds it comes back up and the recording starts playing again. So I stopped playback and went to copy the logs just in case you know. I just got thru reviewing them and I seem to be getting similar errors. Not asking for help cause it seems to be working fine now, Just thought I'd point that out.

Dirk, my guess is you've got a malformed widget somewhere in your STV that the Search command is choking on. You could find out which widget by binary search: Delete half your code; search; if it succeeds, undo and delete the other half; delete half of what's left and search again; etc.

Have you tried the Search function in my Studio Tools plugin? If that breaks too, then you could use the "Search selection" option instead of deleting to streamline the binary-search process.

Do you have a backup version of your STV that doesn't have this problem? If so, doing an STV Diff might be worth a shot to see if that turns up anything interesting.

Miller, about the only thing your errors have in common with Dirk's is that they happen as a result of pressing keys on the keyboard. Otherwise they're in a completely different part of the code.

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of ...

I usually only use your search function , that's why I didn't notice this until I now, probably the first standard search I did for weeks... Your search works fine so it's not a huge deal right now (it would be if I couldnt use your tools), but if it's some kind of malformed widget I'm still concerned

Yeah I found an older version which does not have the problem, but I made so many changes in the code since then that it will be quite impossible to see anything from the diff. So I guess the binary search approach seems to be the only option right now.


Thanks !

Greg, it actually did break too, I just forgot to switch to 'search whole file' when I initially tried it. And this was actually good news, since it made the 'binary search' much easier. I found a theme widget reference that didn't reference anything, defined by corresponding "<Proxy...> " defintions in the XML. No clue how they got there, but after deleting those entries everything is fine again.

I say it once again - after installing your plugin Studio work is not the same as it used to be, I could not do without it any more. Especially the safe subtree selection saved me hours and hours of time when porting default STV code to SageMC or doing code cleanup. This really has to make its way into the product at some point. I just wished I had more time for trying to actually make use of the framework and extend the functionality (lots of ideas ) instead of just using the plugin ...

Thanks again,
Dirk

Did you mention this to SageTV? If you still have a copy of the bad STV, they might be interested in seeing it, in case they can figure out what happened & how to prevent it.
