Boot failure Dolphin 7.2.8

[Scott McWilliams]

I'm getting a boot failure with 7.2.8. Last fetch from GitHub was 2 minutes ago. Relevant portion (I think) of error log shown below. Any ideas/help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

I am up to date on master branch and I get no such error.

Did you do a "git checkout master" without updating the VM also?

Vince

[Scott McWilliams]

Thanks for the reply, Vince.

This is somewhat puzzling because I already had the 7.2.8 VM prior to the last git checkout and I performed the 'git lfs pull' as well. I have subsequently performed the 'fetchvm' script at least twice but still get the same error.

If yours is working the problem must be on my end so I'll keep reviewing my configuration.

Regards,
Scott

[Scott McWilliams]

Still no luck. Completely removed my existing local repository and rebuilt, including downloading the VM via 'fetchvm' script again. 'git checkout master' reports 'your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'. Still getting same error and boot failure.

[F Bek]

7.2.8 works without a problem for me.
Do you have any other version of Dolphin installed on your system? If so, you could review your 'opens with' association for extension '.img7'. It may be pointing to the wrong VM.

Have you tried rebuilding your image with "BootAndTestDPRO.cmd". If it gives errors, can you post here.

Vince

[Scott McWilliams]

Thanks for the replies.

Still no luck so far. This is very frustrating since I've never had this type of issue before. I've had multiple versions of Dolphin installed on my system for quite some time with no such issues (since removed, registry cleaned, rebooted, to no avail).

'Bootandtest' fails in exactly the same way.

I've tried downloading the 7.2.8 .zip files of the source and the VM - with exactly the same result.

I've used and loved Dolphin for years but this is becoming a bit tiresome. Since others are not experiencing the same issue I know it's something on my system but damned if I can figure out what it is.

[Scott McWilliams]

BTW getting the same error on a completely different system.

[F Bek]

Do you need to have ver. 7.2.8?

The latest stable release is 7.1.20. available at https://github.com/dolphinsmalltalk/Dolphin/releases/tag/7.1.20; and it has an easy windows installer, no need to clone the repository.

Version 7.2.x is a work in progress transition to the new namespace and the latest build could be a bit rough on the edges as explained in the notes on Github - but shouldn't if you run the test cmd before attempting to start it.

Again, if you have other versions of Dolphin installed on your pc, I would suggest uninstalling them or simply moving them out temporarily on an external drive.

[Scott McWilliams]

Yes, I understand all of the above. As I stated before, I have had multiple versions of Dolphin running on the system(s) in question for years (decades, actually) without issues. I had no issues at all with any 7.2.x version prior to the latest updates of 5 fdays ago. I still have 7.1 installations running on other systems but I am testing some functionality with namespaces so I also want to run the 'latest-and-greatest' if you will, so if you want to refer to it that way, then yes, I need 7.2.8 (and beyond).

Again, uninstalling all other versions, cleaning the registry, and rebooting did not resolve the issue. Multiple deletions/clonings of the GitHub repository 'master' branch did not resolve the issue. Multiple downloads of the source and VM did not resolve the issue. And just to try to be (even more) clear, the issue isn't when trying to _run_ a 7.2.8 image, it's when trying to _build_ it. Both 'bootdro' and 'bootandtestdro' give exactly the same error and fail to build the image.

As it seems this is an isolated issue unique to my environment(s) and/or processes I will continue to work to resolve the issue.

Thanks again for your replies.

Strange that is complains about a missing class "Dolphin\Core\Object Arts\Dolphin\IDE\Base\SmalltalkWorkspace.cls".

Can you confirm that this class is indeed in your local working copy?

Vince

[Scott McWilliams]

Yes, the class file "Dolphin\Core\Object Arts\Dolphin\IDE\Base\Tools.SmalltalkWorkspace.cls" is present in my local working copy.

That's part of what is so puzzling about this.

Scott

[Scott McWilliams]

Good news! The latest fetch has resolved the issue - whatever it was.

Scott
