Editor Failing to start #10332

Closed rjs5327 closed 4 years ago

rjs5327 commented 4 years ago

(EDIT by @cmaglie: For people looking for the "solution" here the comment -> https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/issues/10332#issuecomment-641830310)

So i am running a Win 10 machine and on 2 of them i get the same problem, including both the desktop and portable version. This issue just arose all was working and then i got the normal double port error where it shows say COM 8 twice and wont do anything so i rebooted the Editor and it wont start.

Here is the debug print out: Loading configuration... Initializing packages... java.lang.NullPointerException at cc.arduino.contributions.packages.ContributionsIndexer.parseIndex(ContributionsIndexer.java:134) at processing.app.BaseNoGui.initPackages(BaseNoGui.java:483) at processing.app.Base.(Base.java:273) at processing.app.Base.main(Base.java:150)

This all happened after trying to connect to some MKR's having trouble i think they are too close and the WIFI is screwing up. Since the boards randomly reboot and LED_BUILTIN pulses slow. So i been messing with positioning the boards and pulling things out of the code to find the issue. And my machines have locked up with the above. So i tried portable doesnt work. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling does not work. So im stuck

rjs5327 commented 4 years ago

Interesting I tried the 1.9 Beta and it will run in portable but the 1.8.12 will not. I saw in the release notes that there was a change in the JAVA maybe that is where the issue lays

niclas0219 commented 4 years ago

Hi! I get the same thing. When I delete the package_index.json file it starts again. But when using the board manager i get a null pointer exception and then it stops working again. I'm thinking something is broken in the standard board index that the IDE downloads from somewhere.

willeccles commented 4 years ago

I have encountered the same issue. This seems to be a bit of sticking point for Arduino, as I have found multiple other old issues about very similar issues.

niclas0219 commented 4 years ago

I can also confirm that the 1.9 beta is working!

Starting the board manager in 1.9 i get the following in the console:

Index error: could not find referenced tool name=openocd version=0.10.0-arduino12 packager=arduino
Index error: could not find referenced tool name=dfu-util version=0.9.0-arduino2 packager=arduino
Index error: could not find referenced tool name=openocd version=0.10.0-arduino12 packager=arduino

Index error: could not find referenced tool name=openocd version=0.10.0-arduino12 packager=arduino
Index error: could not find referenced tool name=dfu-util version=0.9.0-arduino2 packager=arduino

Perhaps a clue?

willeccles commented 4 years ago

Seconded, 1.9 works here.

CptAdventure commented 4 years ago

Yup, I just upgraded to 1.8.12 after running 1.8.5 flawlessly. When I try to start the GUI, I get the splash screen with "Initializing Packages..." and then the splash screen goes away and no editor. Nana. Dead in the water. I going to try 1.9 and see if any changes.

I just tried 1.9 BETA and everything is working good again.

Exactly the same here, occured on both my separate machines. Driving me mad. Happens when going to board manager:

Same problem here. Tried 1.8.12 and earlier versions. Also removed \AppData\Local\Arduino15 folder and installed again. Then I can start the editor but after first board manager entrance I get the java.lang.nullpointexception error. After closing the editor it does not start up anymore.

Danixu commented 4 years ago

Can also reproduce this.

  • Fresh install of 1.8.12
  • Add https://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json in board manager
  • Go to board manager and get NullPointerException

Nope, I've cleaned everything and installed an older version that was working (1.8.10), and same error. Maybe is something related with packages index, because is working fine until I enter into cards manager. The I got the already mentioned errors and never again starts until I remove the package_index.json files.

1.9 BETA is working because seems to ignore those errors.

Best regards.

Same problem here with arduino ide 1.8.12: uploaded FSBrowser example code to nodemcu-esp8266 and closed the ide. When i try to start the ide now it shows Initializing Packages... and crashes.

@APJoshi-Projects same here.

luk3skyw4lker commented 4 years ago

same here, trying 1.9 now

Petorrr commented 4 years ago

Same problem here, worked flawlessly with multiple boards and projects ever since I installed 1.8.12. Tonight it stopped working when I opened the Boards Manager. Re-install doesn't work, and neither the Nightly build. Same problem also now on my other computer! You can delete the Arduino15 folder in Appdata, and it will start once, but when the indexes are generated the next time it won't start anymore. When it starts and you open the Boards Manager it acts really weird and a nullpointer exception comes in the bottom of the window.

1.9 opens here, board manager works fine, but returns:

There have been multiple posts on Reddit about this in the past few hours. Has some random Windows update triggered this behaviour ? fwiw my Mac is fine.

There have been multiple posts on Reddit about this in the past few hours. Has some random Windows update triggered this behaviour ? fwiw my Mac is fine.

My Arduino IDE 1.8.12 has been running fine for a long time on Windows 10, and this morning it just won't boot. I've not changed anything on my PC so it must be an update that has automatically gone through somewhere...

l1ttled3vil commented 4 years ago

A workaround for now is to delete the Arduino folder under (C:\Users\user\AppData\Local). The IDE will boot, but you won't have your additional boards available.

avillacis commented 4 years ago

Just delete the package_index.json and package_index.json.sig files inside said directory. Will preserve current board support, but you will not be able to install or update boards until this is fixed.

https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=689307.msg4635898#msg4635898

temporary solution:

1) Disable machine's networking. 2) Copy the .../arduino15 directory to,say, arduino15.backup 3) Remove the files package_index.json and package_index.json.sig from the ..../arduino15 4) Start the IDE. It should start without network access. Go to Preferences, disable "check for updates at start". Stop the IDE. 5) Start networking 6) Start IDE. It starts. 7) Avoid any touching of the network resources! The board_manager or library_manager buggers the package_index again and again.

But add firewall exit rules from arduino.exe, arduino_debug.exe, arduino-builder.exe and arduino-cli.exe.

I'm seeing this as well. Fresh install of 1.8.12, opening the Boards Manager downloads the default packages then throws a NullPointerException. This is without any extra packages added, just the stock Arduino ones.

Thanks, I had narrowed it down to these two files but they kept cropping back up. Why do the firewall exit rules need to be in place?

If you do this you still won't have access to any boards aside from teh default ones though yea? (at least that is my experience)

MatthewReed303 commented 4 years ago

I just let windows do an update and exact same issues as everyone else. I'm going to roll back the windows update. I have been using Arduino fine most of the day and windows asks to restart to install the update, let it do it's thing and reboot, go to open Arduino again and can't get past splash screen. I tried all of the suggested stuff but nothing works. I need additional boards manager as I'm using the stm32

KernelErr commented 4 years ago

I met the same error when I had a Windows update just now. Deleting package_index.json can let you launch the IDE. But still don't know how it happens, and board manager isn't available.

snowe2010 commented 4 years ago

Also seeing this issue on Mac, but unsure how to debug it, as there is no error when starting from the command line, it just closes after the splash screen.

javierzebadua commented 4 years ago

Yes, its because when Arduino starts, it tries to update the boards index, but it can't do it, so it close without any window, I don't how Macs works but, you need to find and delete the package_index.json to open arduino

engynnadmin commented 4 years ago

I am having the same issue, came out of nowhere. Glad to have found this thread after spending hours. I will go to 1.9

OrgiaMode commented 4 years ago

I guess I'll share my frustration too. 1.8.12 stopped opening this evening and after a few hours of googling, I came across the above error after running debug in the cmd. All I can add to the discussion is that I am sick of these things happening at random times for no good reason.

Rocova98 commented 4 years ago

I have the same issue, I can work work with any board of Arduino but when I try to download another package it doesn´t work so I try 1.9 and also I can´t download any board through Preferences

dominicdj37 commented 4 years ago

same issue in Ubuntu. Was working fine till yesterday until after installing an esp board lib from boards manager.

MatthewReed303 commented 4 years ago

So 1.9 beta worked until closed down and then try to reopen and same as 1.8.12. I tried deleting the package index files and no luck. Is this all related to windows update or just randomly?

Guntanuth commented 4 years ago

I have the same on Window10 non-admin , I tried 1.8.8 ,1.8.9 .1.8.12 NOT work , but 1.6.9 is WORK. window 've just updated this morning.

Is not a Windows update related problem. There are people with Mac/Linux getting the same error, and I'm getting errors with packages index even in Eclipse (at least exlipse ignores those errors and still working), so there's no real problem with the IDE. I think that the problem is on the package index.

radiobla commented 4 years ago

I have the same issue on Arch Linux. It was running flawlessly until a few hours ago.

The following happens with Oracle JDK 8:

This happens with Oracle JDK 11.0.7 (that was running until a few hours ago).

WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred WARNING: Illegal reflective access by processing.app.linux.GTKLookAndFeelFixer (file:/usr/share/arduino/lib/arduino-core.jar) to field com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel.styleFactory WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of processing.app.linux.GTKLookAndFeelFixer WARNING: Use --illegal-access=warn to enable warnings of further illegal reflective access operations WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release java.lang.NullPointerException at cc.arduino.contributions.packages.ContributionsIndexer.parseIndex(ContributionsIndexer.java:134) at processing.app.BaseNoGui.initPackages(BaseNoGui.java:483) at processing.app.Base.<init>(Base.java:273) at processing.app.Base.main(Base.java:150)

In the later, it seems something related to GTK and with JDK 8 it complains about parsing package index JSON.

Arduino IDE 1.8.12 is unusable. It needs an upgrade soon.

I can't continue working on my prototypes until it's resolved. I won't install a beta version which is not packaged by my Linux distro, otherwise I will need to update it manually everytime.

What is incredible is that Arduino's web site doesn't mention a single word about the Java requirements, versions, etc. That's ridiculous.

I was about to buy another board and modules, but with these issues, I can't trust Arduino IDE anymore. At anytime it's going to stop working.

GregS1000RR commented 4 years ago

Same here, ... spent entire evening de-installing - deleting reinstalling ... until came across this thread.

Thanks for having opened it ... fell less alone

radiobla commented 4 years ago

A "workaround" would be deleting the ~/.arduino15 directory. The IDE will open again, but won't work as expected. It will fail/close (throwing many NullPointerException) as soon you open the "Board Manager".

dergizzle commented 4 years ago

Good to know I am not insane - cost me hours yesterday. The package_index.json is obviously the culprit, loading it will now result in the nullpointer exception and the subsequent refusal to startup the IDE. The workardounds mentioned sort of work, so does restoring a "good" copy of package_index.json from a backup hence it's something on their end.

Strange to see a nightly fix this, I would expect the fix to happen at the package_index.json side to ensure things still work for everybody .......

e Looking at the nightly they changed the menu structure of board selector, it is now "staged", it was flat before. Maybe the json was modified to reflect this and this broke the older versions?

radiobla commented 4 years ago

@dergizzle Yeah, what operating system are you running? which JDK/JRE?

You're not insane. Maybe who commited this code. It must be tested on multiple Java environments as weel as operating systems before they call it "stable".

On Arch Linux a lot of KDE Plasma updates where made. I suspected it could be that, but since 1.9 beta is working, it doesn't seem to be anything directly related.

Arduino IDE is not even close to be use for professional purposes. If I was working on a real world project, I'd be stuck now. I could use VSCODE, but I'm not sure it's gonna work since the problem appears to be on "backend".

I'm very sad. I was in the middle of an experiment when it stopped working.

dergizzle commented 4 years ago

I'm on Win 10 on all machines (1909 through the board) and I'm on the JRE that's bundled with the IDE. It's definately not an OS or Java related thing, too many people affected at the same time. Stuff like that is something central, so I was thinking certificates - but I'm pretty sure it's connected to the package_index.json. Or more specifically the the redesign of the board selector sub-menu...

(See Picture )

radiobla commented 4 years ago

Good point. I don't think they will look into this issue soon. So I have to stop everything I was doing.

It might be something with the JSON Parser too (it worth mention that I validated the JSON file and it's ok). There's a ".sig" (signature file), but I'm not sure it's related.

How I hate JVM!

mrguen commented 4 years ago

Same here. Anyways Arduino with Arduino core STM32 was so slow since months I could hardly use it (compilation taking 20 minutes to compile the entire hundreds of Mo of libraries). Thanks I can't even install the boards definition now OMG.
