Must restart FB frequently, very slow, stops responding

Sep 11, 2012 6:30 AM

I have to restart FB 4.7 frequently because it slows to a crawl just while editing in the MXML editor (i.e. I type a character, I wait for it to display, I type...I wait, etc).  And, when saving, the compiles are 10 times slower than they were after restarting.

 

I'm on a new MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, on 16 GB memory.  I did not have this issue when running FB 4.6 on the same machine.

 

I have a good size mobile project (approx 8 libraries), but, I'm just making changes on the main project code.  Ugh.

    Can you please give some more details and try these things -

     

    Are you using an old workspace? If so, can you try on a new workspace.

    Can you tell whether this slowness happens when the project is getting built, i.e., when you see "building workspace" in the FB status bar (bottom right corner)? Or is this slowness observed everytime?

    Try creating a new Flex Project to see whether the issue is observed there.

     

    Can you try disabling the following and see whether your issue is resolved -

    Window -> Preferences -> Flash Builder -> Editors -> Report problems as you type

     

    Thanks,

    Sameer

    Can you confirm whether you are working on a new workspace in FB 4.7 or reusing an existing workspace created using older versions of FB?

    If you are using FB 64 bit version then set xms to 512m and and xmx to 1024m (or more) in FB.ini file and tryout.

     

    Are you using pure action script or flex as well?. Is there any assets like large images or mp3 files embedded in you app.

    Could you please share the FB log file located under yourFBWorkspace/.metadata/.LOGfile.

    If you are using standalone version of FB then go to your installation directory

    1.right click on Adobe Flash  Builder 4.7.app and click on show contents

    2.Open Contents folder

    3.Open MacOS folder 

    there you find FB.ini folder edit it and set Xms to 512 and Xmx to 1024(or more) then tryout.

    Go into Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7. Then hold down the control key, and click once on the Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 icon. You should see a menu pop up with a bunch of options, one should be "Show Package Contents". It should open up a new Finder window which had a folder "Contents", open that, then open the "MacOS" folder.

     

    In mine, I have two files, one is "Adobe Flash Builder 4.7.ini" and "Adobe Flash Builder 4.ini" I would change the Xms and Mxm in both just to be safe

     

    Oh, and you can use that control key + click option in many programs, or if you have a mouse, there is an option in System Preferences -> Mouse and change the right side to "Secondary Button", and you can now left and right click on the mouse like a PC.

    You can’t find the ini file by search  in installation directory.

    I just verified "show package contents" on MAC 10.8.1.So it should exist on 10.8.2 as well.

    Please make sure that you are context clicking on "Adobe Flash Builder 4.7.app" file in side Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 installation directory.

    Can you try creating a new workspace and importing all your projects in it?

    If you encounter issues again, please mail the workspace log to sameer AT adobe DOT com

    Hi David,

     

    We studied the logs and most of the references in the logs are pointing to classes that not even present in FB 4.7. That's why I asked you to create a new workspace.

    These classes were, however, present in FB 4.6 and we suspect that somehow 4.6 and 4.7 installations are getting mixed up.

    To diagnose this issue further, can you verify the following -

    1. Whether you have installed FB 4.7 as standalone or plugin over an existing Eclipse installation?

    2. Whether the directories for installating FB 4.6 and 4.7 are different?

    3. Many exceptions in the logs point towards Design View but Design View is removed in FB 4.7. So, in case you see it, can you try disabling it through Windows -> Disable "Design Mode". If you see the Design View option, then there is an installation problem because Design View is removed in FB 4.7

     

    Thank you again for being patient and providing us the details.

    Hi David,

     

    "BootLoader constants: OS=macosx, ARCH=x86, WS=cocoa, NL=en_US"

    Your log shows it is x86 architecture. It should have been x86_64 architecture.

     

    Log content

     

    !MESSAGE Commands should really have a category: plug-in='com.qnx.flashbuilder.multiplatform.qnx.ui', id='com.qnx.flashbuilder.multiplatform.qnx.ui.commands.OpenInfoCenter ', categoryId='com.qnx.flashbuilder.multiplatform.qnx.ui.commands.catego ry.help'

     

    Gives us an indication that your workspace should have been corrupted. Since above plugins should not be available in FB 4.7

     

    You can go to <FB Install dir>/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7.app/Contents/MacOS from the command line to get the contents of Flash builder.ini

     

    Regards,

    Kishan

    Could you please share your log file again.

     

    Please delete the existing log contents in  yourWorkspaceLocation/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/.metadata/.log

    Try to reproduce the stability issues and copy the log contents from yourWorkspaceLocation/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/.metadata/.log file.

     

    Send the log file to mail ID sjavvadiATadobeDOTcom

     

    Thanks,

    David,

    I resend the mails to you, are you able to receive the mails from our side?

     

    Is it possible to share your project to reproduce the issue.

     

    Else, Can we setup a connect session to troubleshoot the issue.

    Please let us know your location/time zone and convenient time.

    I have this same issue. Everything works fine by about half hour and then just hovering the mouse cursor top of the toolbar buttons will make cpu usage jump to 40% and UI-does not update for awhile. Memory usage is this point something like 1,5GB which is double amount compared to 4.6.

     

    I had these setting already in the ini files

    -Xms512m

    -Xmx1024m

     

     

    I didn't have any this kind of issues with 4.6.

    Hi Ossi,

     

    Do help us to investigate your problem further by answering followign questions to beign with.

     

    1.  What is the OS type and RAM capacity of your machine ?  Is it same kind of machine as mentieond by David on this thread ?

    2.  Are you usign older workspace(prior to 4.7) with FB4.7 or have you created a new one ?

    3.  What is the type of project that you are workgin with ? Is it Flex or Pure actionScript one ?

    4.  Also, what is the overall size of your peojcts including assets etc. ?  If you project is bigger to get accomodated by 1024 heap size, you may want to increase it further, to find an optimal performance for your project.

    5. Post any logs from your Eclipse workspace, that may help us look into what may be going wrong at your end.

     

    Thanks

    Jayesh

    I am having this very same issue on Windows 7 Flash Builder 4.7 -- Every 10-15 minutes I have to restart the program because it slows down to a crawl.  Typing is nearly impossible.  I tried every fix mentioned above to no avail.  Some suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks all!

    Today I tried this with my older MacBook and it does exactly same thing.

    Half our and then FB starts to slow down. Typing is impossible

     

    I remember that 4.6 did this same slow down when the Design View was enabled.

    Hi Ossi,

     

    Can you send the heap dump just when the editor tends to get slow as you mentioned?

    Also which jdk are you on?

     

    For getting the heap dump, get the PID of FlashBuilder from Task Manager.

    Go to command prompt and change directory to your jdk location > bin folder, (your bin folder would be having jmap.exe)

    Type the below command :

    jmap -dump:format=b,file="C:\heap.txt" <pid>

     

     

    Send the generated heap.txt file to gkalyaniATadobeDOTcom

     

    Regards,

    Guriya

    Sorry for the delay, but the file is so HUGE that I'm unable to send it through email (2,25GB).

    I am having the exact same issues here.  Having to reboot FB4.7 several times.  FB ini is already set to recommended settings.  Please advise.  Performance is awful with FB 4.7

    Has any progress been made on this issue? I have the exact same problem, on both my laptop and desktop.

     

    • Both my computers run Mac OS X 10.8.2 .
    • Both my computers have 8 GB RAM.
    • I have created a new workspace with FB 4.7 .
    • I have only 3 opened (and linked) projects in the workspace. Two of the projects are Flex Library projects and the third is the Flex Application (SDK 4.8) (not pure ActionScript). All three projects put together is less than 3 MB in size.
    • I am running JDK 7 update 9.

     

    I did not have these problems in FB 4.6 . The overall performance of the IDE itself is very very slow. It is extremely annoying to keep having to restart the IDE every half hour or so.

     

    The performance problems are separate from the other bugs in the IDE: In MXML files, anything defined in the <fx:Declarations> is not recognized by the code outside the declarations. Compiling is fine, but "command-clicking" on any reference to the declared variable does not go to the declaration of the variable. The same is seen for the <fx:Script source="..." /> included files.

     

    I am seriously considering reverting back to 4.6 or to switch to JetBrains IDEA.

    Could you please let us know the heap utilized in Flash Builder while you face this problem.

    You can enable this settings from Windows->Preferences->General->Show Heap Status.

     

    Could you please try increasing the default max heap size (xmx) from 1024 to 2048.

    You can find these settings under Flash Builder Installation folder /FlashBuilder.ini file.

     

    If you have plugged-in FB to external eclipse then you need to update heap settings in eclipse.ini file.

    This clearly helped on my Windows computer with 8 gigabytes of memory, but with Mac (4GB) it didn't really have any effect.

    I have done this in both "Flash Builder.ini" and "Flash Builder 4.7.ini" in the "Contenets/MacOS" folder inside the FB app.

     

    I am yet to use the app heavily since. I will report back.

     

    The Heap Status currently fluctuates between  "150M of 529M" and "175M of 529M", as soon as I open the app. Even now, the performance of the IDE within the MXML files and its associated *.as files is quite laggy.

    I've increased head size to 2048 and still experiencing poor performance with FB 4.7.  Actually the application is crippled within a few minutes.  Watching the heap status, it starts out around 100M of 300M then after a few minutes of developing the status changes to about 920M out of 1000M.  Having to restart FB 4.7 every few minutes is unacceptable.

     

    Please advise, thank you.
