So, after the latest update: 

When I load the ai2 page for the first time and when I open each and every project, 
I get "An internal error has occurred. Report a bug?"

and I can no longer build any APKs...to completion...

I get a 10% complete, a 90% complete and then an error that doesn't produce any error message...

and no QR code is displayed...

Both show this error:

notes = Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.154 Safari/537.36
foundIn = nb128
faultData = java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to parse file - cannot locate beginning of $JSON section
projectId = -1


Any ideas/suggestions/thoughts???


Thanks,

Rick

Going to send this to someone... Before I do though, please try something first... Try opening your browser, clearing the cache, and then opening your project.  Does that help?

The update last night was to lock out secondary and beyond browser windows open to the same project.  The most recent login wins.

Do you have multiple browser windows open with the same project?

I get this same thing *every* time now.
Windows 7, Windows 8, Linux Mint 16.
Firefox and Chrome.

AI2 is really performing very poorly lately (including script errors, internal errors and corrupted projects). It wasn't like this last week..

Richard... Your post has nothing to do with the original issue... Please start a new thread. Thanks!

Also, having trouble dragging a empty Text block from the menu to assign the screen name to goto on Button.Click...
I can select the Text block, but it just drops it on top of the last one...I can't move it...
Ugh!!

Can you tell me the "XXX" part. That will let me examine the project. It appears that it is at least partially corrupted. I can probably salvage it. I doubt this has anything to do with the recent release.

Please advise.

Is this still happening?   And is it happening (as you say below) on EVERY project you try?  What happens if you make a brand new blank project and try to build that?

Good news Hal...
So, the other day I deleted the latest project...It was the one that I was building during the upgrade...
Even though I lost all of the work effort for that project, it seems to have cleared up everything...
All of the others are working now too...
I'll be back if anything starts to go hinky again...
Thanks for your attention,
Rick
