wyBuild stuck at building updatesSolved

Can you narrow it down to something small and reproducible? Is it possible you can send the whole project and binary files to us (or just the parts that are causing the problems)?

Also, is the CPU pegged when it's stuck on this file? Or is there a lot of disk activity?

Lastly, is the file valid on the disk? That is, is the file corrupt (due to disk error)?

I checked deleting that file (the DLL) but then it gets stuck at the next file in the directory in alphabetical order.

> Also, is the CPU pegged when it's stuck on this file? Or is there a lot of disk activity?No, the CPU is normal and no process is using more than 1 or 2%, including wyUpdate. Dont know how to check "disk activity".> Lastly, is the file valid on the disk? That is, is the file corrupt (due to disk> error)?I checked using chkdsk and everthing seems fine.

I can reproduce this -- we'll start looking for the cause.

Thanks, looking forward for the fix.

Hi, since I need to roll out a new update is there any way I can download the previous version? Specifically 2.6.16.1

P.S. I have a custom Spanish language file so rolling to 2.6.16.2 wouldnt work (because of the language bug)

We're still working out what the exact cause is. We've narrowed it down to 2 lines of code. Both of these lines of code are in a 3rd party zip library we use to bundle up the updates. This code hasn't changed in 2.6.16 vs. 2.6.16.3. It's exactly the same. So downgrading won't help.

We also believe this problem was in 2.5.x and 2.6.x, however it didn't rear its ugly head. Or if it did appear in the wild no one reported it.

We also noticed that sometimes building the updates works, sometimes it freezes on one of the files. So from now until we find & fix the actual cause of the problem the best solution (of several bad solutions) is to try building your updates multiple times. That is, if it freezes on a file, close wyBuild reopen it and retry building your updates.

Also, it's odd that this problem is only effecting your files. None of our test cases are effected at all (no matter how many times we run them).

In short: this is a very strange bug.

Mmm weird, I tried your approach of trying building the updates many times, but apart from being very time consuming prone to my bad luck, I ended up disabling compression which is far from the ideal solution but was the only way I managed to publish a new update to my users.

Please let me know of the fix ASAP because Ive grown dependant on wyBuild.

We've fixed the "frozen patch" bug. Version 2.6.16.4 of wyBuild is out.

Tell me if you're having any other problems.
