Hi Simon!
Thanks for answering! I just run into that error again, so I have some updates:
> The config.xml file looks ok, but thats not too surprising as I think the error occurred when saving a new config file, so thats probably the state it was in when it was valid.
Correct. I just updated to the latest version and it even tells me now that there are problems saving the options. However, I did not change anything in the config. I started ZAP with almost the version of config.xml that you already have (just the version tag is different). First thing I did after the startup was to enter the preferences -> looking up the port for the local proxy -> closing the preferences -> Bam! Could not save options -> log says "ungültiges Zeichen" (invalid character) -> config.xml is empty afterwards.
> If the Apache commons library reported which character(s) it was complaining about then this would be easy, but it doesnt, so its not :(
Yip, wouldn't that be boring anyway ;-)
> As you only occasionally get the problem I'm guessing (hoping) that its something you're adding to the configs manually.
It now seems the problem is reproducible...
> Can you remember changing any of the configs before this error occurs?
I know its the usual answer, but I REALLY did change nothing! I swear it!
> Do you add or change anything via the Options, especially anything that includes 'non standard' characters (pretty much anything other than alphanumeric ones?
I wouldn't dare to use anything but alphanumerics - given the uncounted amount of hours it already deducted from my life time since I use computers
I will try to get more information about this error and come back to you.
Cheers,
Marcel
