Windows 8.1/mapbox-studio-win32-x64-v0.2.5 Crash

[cwodwrth]

So Mapbox Studio crashed while I was trying to save my project, and now it just loads up, does the spinning wheel, and crashes. I've rebooted, uninstalled/reinstalled, nothing is working. Any thoughts?

Here is my error when running from the cmd line:

C:\Program Files\mapbox-studio>[1272:0304/133239:INFO:renderer_main.cc(211)] Renderer process started [4628:0304/133240:INFO:CONSOLE(0)] <Wed, 04 Mar 2015 19:32:40 GMT> Mapbox Studio exited with 8.

@cwodwrth - thanks for the report and sorry about the trouble. Can you:

1) Describe your project more so I can get some ideas about why it crashed? Is it a "source" or a "style"? If a "source" then what kind of data format and size of data were you loading in? If a "style" then what sort of styling were you doing before it crashed?

2) To fix the startup issue, find the .mapbox-studio/app.db file inside your user directory (aka %USERPROFILE%) and delete the app.db. This file stores the last project edited and because your project crashed this is likely preventing Studio from being able to start. If you delete the file then the next time you open studio it should open okay (and only crash when you try to navigate to the project again). HINT: if you do navigate to the project again and it crashes, then delete the app.db again.

Sorry, I was saving my Style - I had just changed the color of a variable using the color picker and saved, and it just hung so I had to force close it.

It's now working again, after running it from the cmd line and crashing, I restarted from the shortcut and it started working again, so apparently something changed unbeknownst to me and it's back to working!

@cwodwrth - okay, interesting. I've not heard another report of a case like this. So can you keep a close eye on this and if it happens again post back here with additional details?

[cwodwrth]

Yes, of course. Thanks for addressing this so quickly.

I have the same problem, I was trying to create a postgis source from a 16M buildings database and it crashed while trying to preview the datasource. Afterwards I couldn't get it working, I have restarted the computer, removed and reinstalled Mapbox Studio to no effect.

After some experimenting I discovered that removing app.db.compacted did the trick.

First I removed app.db, which made it possible to start mapbox studio once, and produced the above error the next times. Removing app.db.compacted allowed me to use the original app.db (which I had copied elsewhere).
