[BUG] Update broke the program completely. #280

Open Chonkblonk opened 1 year ago

Chonkblonk commented 1 year ago

I installed the latest update, and I went into the options and disabled the Recent tag. The program did not like that apparently because after rebooting, it's back to the bright skin, and all the files and ports I added are completely gone, with an error prompt telling me something went wrong.

Copying what I think is the error message:

System.NullReferenceException: Objektreferensen har inte angetts till en instans av ett objekt. vid DoomLauncher.MainForm.BuildColumnConfig() vid DoomLauncher.MainForm.HandleFormClosing() vid System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnFormClosing(FormClosingEventArgs e) vid System.Windows.Forms.Form.RaiseFormClosingOnAppExit() vid System.Windows.Forms.Application.ExitInternal() vid System.Windows.Forms.Application.ThreadContext.OnThreadException(Exception t) vid System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProcException(Exception e) vid System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) vid System.Windows.Forms.UnsafeNativeMethods.DispatchMessageW(MSG& msg) vid System.Windows.Forms.Application.ComponentManager.System.Windows.Forms.UnsafeNativeMethods.IMsoComponentManager.FPushMessageLoop(IntPtr dwComponentID, Int32 reason, Int32 pvLoopData) vid System.Windows.Forms.Application.ThreadContext.RunMessageLoopInner(Int32 reason, ApplicationContext context) vid System.Windows.Forms.Application.ThreadContext.RunMessageLoop(Int32 reason, ApplicationContext context) vid DoomLauncher.Program.Main(String[] args)

Are all my settings gone now? It's not like my files are gone, but I'm not looking forward to adding back all the ports and all my project files again.

Alright, the program makes a backup of your settings, that's very handy. The previous pre-release version seemed to have broken in the same way (only it defaulted to the dark UI that time), so if this is something on your end, I guess look what happened there, the build before that, from May 6th, works like normal for me. I'm not the most tech minded, so I'm not sure of the error.

Overall, really nice program which I think is extremely handy, and I recommend it to others for the ease of handling files, so I hope this issue can be resolved. The dark UI looks nice, so I doubly look forward to it.

Do you still have the DoomLauncher.sqlite file that caused issue? If you post a link to it I can take a look.

It would be both of these, one was from the last update, the other was from the pre-release. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1083430033831497840/1135017367110438922/DoomLauncher.sqlite https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1083430033831497840/1135017392024600606/DoomLauncher_2.sqlite

Anyway, going back to the older version and it works like normal, I really like that this program makes backups of your settings and file list, that's a great feature for reasons exactly like these.

I took a look at these. The first one is the blank one distributed with Doom Launcher. The second one (DoomLauncher_2.sqlite) is the one that was updated. When I run this database against 3.7.0 it launches perfectly fine: image

Another user posted the same issue. The strange thing is that the error posted above shows that the application is trying to close. Are you running the installer? Can you try downloading the manual version and copy the DoomLauncher folder anywhere like your desktop. Then copy the DoomLauncher.sqlite file to this new one and see if the same issue happens?

Chonkblonk commented 1 year ago

I'll try doing that to see what happens.

Just pushed the official release for this fix.
