Realm browser crashes before opening realm file.

[anjanibansal]

I have been trying to open my Android app's Realm database in the browser but it's not happening. It used to work properly before but now it just "quits unexpectedly" as soon as I open the file. I have Realm browser 2.1.2 and I'm using Realm 2.2.2 in my project, both of which, i believe, are the latest versions.
I'm using this method to obtain my database file:

I'm configuring my realm like this:

RealmConfiguration config1 = new RealmConfiguration.Builder()
                .name("default4")
                .schemaVersion(4)
                .migration(new Migration())
                .build();
        Realm.setDefaultConfiguration(config1);

Am I missing some thing? I'd really appreciate any help.

Hi @anjanibansal! Thank you for reporting this! Could you please provide some more info about this crash? Any error messages or even better an example Realm file to reproduce it, thanks!

Hi @anjanibansal! Do you still experience this issue? Did you have a chance to find any error logs or messages?

I'm closing this issue for now. @anjanibansal feel free to reopen it if you have a chance to reproduce this case.

The problem is still there. Every time I open a realm file, the browser crashes.

Exception Type:  SIGABRT

I've sent you the crash report from within the Realm Browser app.

Here's the exported realm file from my app, which I'm trying to open.

Thanks for sending an example Realm file, @anjanibansal!

I was able to open it with the latest version (2.1.4) of the Realm Browser without any errors. Please make sure that you use the latest version of the Browser. Also please make sure the Realm file you're trying to open in not opened with the simulator at the same time, see more info in https://github.com/realm/realm-browser-osx/issues/239#issuecomment-263360452

I still am unable to open my database file. I've installed Realm Browser 2.1.4. I'm not using any simulators to run my app. I'm using a real Android device to debug it. I'm not trying to open the original Realm file but instead I'm copying its contents & then trying to open that copy. I've even disconnected my device before opening the file in browser & the same thing happens. The file opens momentarily & then the browser crashes.

Please suggest what else can I do?

Here's the log that I get when I try to reopen the browser.

Oh, I didn't noticed that you use OS X 10.9, it looks like this issue is not related to the realm file at all, but there is some incompatibility with the previous version of AppKit. I'll take a closer look on it as soon as possible.

@anjanibansal I've just merged a fix for this issue, not it should work ;)
