Missing toolbar controls icons for Simulation

Marek_Š_ — Mon, 08 Aug 2016 09:28:56 GMT

Hello,

I just upgraded to version 3491. Unfortunately control icons are missing on Simulation tab ( the buttons are active - it's just about icons ) - see the screenshot.

Not sure what would cause

Not sure what would cause this.

Are you logged into your account?
Does it happen for all projects, or only for specific projects?

Yes, I am logged in. BTW, the icons are OK for Debug tab, it's just about Simulate tab.

I tried 4 of them - old ones and new ones ( created using previous version ) and it's same.

Marek -- did you try

Marek -- did you try downloading 3491 manually and re-install it? The only thing I can think of is that something about your installation is corrupt. Those resources are local to the install and should be displayed.

Thanks Paul for the advice - I just tried ( I did "repair" - not "uninstall - install" as I don't want to loose my settings) and it's still the same. Don't waste your time, I can live with it as tooltip helps me to find the correct position and probably next version will replace it in correct way.

You can do a complete

PaulF_IntelCorp — Tue, 09 Aug 2016 21:03:08 GMT

You can do a complete reinstall without losing any settings. All the product settings are stored in the "global-settings.xdk" file in the install directory, which is preserved when you reinstall. We don't use the Windows registry. These instructions (https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/faqs/general#uninstall-xdk) will help you find that file and also delete the entire install, after which you can do a fresh install (and then copy back your global-settings.xdk file).

Paul,

Paul,

full reinstallation helped. Thanks.

Unfortunately, debugging

Marek_Š_ — Wed, 17 Aug 2016 09:37:00 GMT

Unfortunately, debugging stopped working after reinstallation - it asks for debug module installation all the time. See the attached screenshots for better understanding.

When I try to install downloaded APK manually to my device, I get an error - App not installed. An existing package by the same name with conflicting signature is already installed.

When I uninstall manually the package from the phone, the XDK installation process works fine, I get normal debug screen afterwards, but I get error

500: App Preview Project Crosswalk is missing

when I click "Launch App on Device" or "Debug App on Device" icons and previous "install debug modul" screen is displayed ....

Marek -- try the following:

PaulF_IntelCorp — Wed, 17 Aug 2016 18:13:17 GMT

Marek -- try the following:

use the "broom" icon to view all the debug modules on your device and delete all of them
try the process again and see if you continue to get the error

If that doesn't work:

make sure App Preview is up-to-date (uninstall and reinstall it from the store)
make sure App Preview is running before you start your Debug session

Paul,

Paul,

thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, none of the steps works.

I tried another project - new one, created under 3491 version and which has never been debug on the device - it works, so I think, it has something to do with project settings or so. Tomorrow, I'll try to play "trial - error" with the problematic project settings - I'll let you know if there is a progress.

Marek -- in that case, I

PaulF_IntelCorp — Wed, 17 Aug 2016 19:15:09 GMT

Marek -- in that case, I suspect it has something to do with a plugin in your project. There are some plugins that do now work well in that Debug module environment. In which case, you'll have to debug a built app using this technique > https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/intel-xdk-debug-and-test-overview#RemoteChromeDevTools <
