Intel XDK 1826 + OSX Yosemite errors CGContext...

[Dragan_T_]

Hi,

I'm getting A TON of this messages in my system log, and it also slows down the interface:

This application, or a library it uses, is using an invalid context  and is thereby contributing to an overall degradation of system stability and reliability.

Anybody else? Is this a bug? I think it affects the performance of the tool significantly.

I am also getting those messages in my Mac console, but I'm not seeing a performance problem. Where in the XDK are you seeing the performance degradation?

[Dragan_T_]

Well, everywhere, even in the editor... The whole GUI seems to become unresponsive occasionally, following the rhythm of the log file... You are aware that XDK is not really a "performance beast" anyway, which is understandable considered the technology used. The machine in question is an older Core2Duo, so this is much more noticeable. I'm getting acceptable performance on my i7 Linux machine, but it is still far from the "native" feel (as Cordova is far on mobile) for a multi - page application especially when using the integrated designer and switching views. (code/design). Anyway it smells like a bug.

I'll file a bug with engineering regarding the messages. We aren't able to always be on the latest version of node-webkit because it requires a lot of testing of the product when such a significant change is made, so updates to that part of the system take a bit longer to implement.

Yes, definitely aware of the fact that the XDK itself is not a "performance beast." It wasn't meant to be. :)

Same issue here, with very severe performance issues on a a 2GHz Core i7 with 8 GB RAM and SSD. So bad it's unusable.

Hi Dragan & Chris, do you still experience this warning with latest XDK 2323? And what's your OSX version?
