Re: Fails to start RIDE with "ride.py"

[Mikko Korpela]

Hi,

You have in your system associated files matching *.py to be opened in
an editor instead of executing with python.

You could look from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307859 how to
change file associations.

I thought that was my issue also as it was launching Sublime back on the mac host.

A nice feature but not what I wanted.

However changing it from sublime to ptyhonw and then python and both just do nothing.

Arg, any other ideas?

ah ha. figured it out finally.

The install of RIDE created a icon on the desktop

looking at the properties of that I saw it was running

pythonw.exe -c "from robotide import main; main()"

that did nothing as usual

Do I tried

      python.exe -c "from robotide import main; main()"
and that finally gave me some insight

    Wrong wxPython version.

    You need to install wxPython 2.8 toolkit with unicode support to run RIDE.

     See http://wxpython.org for more information.

I had downloaded the latest  

     wxPython3.0-win32-3.0.0.0-py27

So I went and got the unicode version of 2.8, and the latest available on that site

     wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.11.0-py27

Finally Ride Runs - see attached also

When it ran it told me there was a newer version - 2.8.12, but I have not tried it yet

It also said there was a newer version of RIDE but the link went to a blank page...

So, it's working and I am sticking with it!!
