Known issues

Missing debug buttons from debug perspective

Image Added

So far we are unable to reproduce this issue, but it is most likely related to a bug found in one of the PyDev plug-ins included with netX Studio.

=> The bug is fixed in V1.0910 so make sure you have the latest netX Studio version installed.

Missing build and start debugging buttons from development perspective

Image Added

This may happen when an error occurs while netX Studio tries to switch between the development and debug perspectives,
e.g. when the device cable is disconnected and the debug session gets aborted.

=> Try switching between the development and debug perspectives manually or restarting netX Studio.

Inactive debug buttons

Image Added

The debug toolbar buttons are associated with the Debug view. If the Debug view is closed,
then the debug buttons on the toolbar will be disabled and will look like the screenshot above.

=> Try resetting the window layout from Window > Perspective > Reset Perspective... or simply bring back
the Debug view by selecting Window > Show View > Debug from the main menu.

Possible fixes

1) Restart netX Studio

The first thing to try is to restart netX Studio. Instead of restarting, you can also try to switch between the development and debug perspectives manually as described below.

2) Switch between the netX Development and netX Debug perspectives manually

netX Studio switches automatically between the development and debug perspectives. In some cases the automatic switching might break, leaving netX Studio in a state where toolbar buttons and menu items are missing. In this case it might help to switch between the perspectives manually:

  1. If there is an active debug session, stop debugging to return back to the development perspective
  2. Switch back and forth between the perspectives from the Window > Perspective menu:

If the missing buttons do not appear, and restarting netX Studio does not help, you may choose try to reset the current perspective or the entire netX Studio window layout by deleting the workbench.xmi configuration file.as described below.

3) Reset the current perspective from Window > Reset Layout

Resetting the current perspective should reset all toolbar buttons and views to their default:

  • Delete the workbench.xmi file
    • Start netX Studio again => netX Studio is started with the default window layout

    4) Reset the entire netX Studio window layout by deleting workbench.xmi:

    Close netX Studio (make sure it is not running as deleting the workbench.xmi file will not take effect otherwise)
    Navigate to the netX Studio CDT user preferences folder:
    C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Hilscher GmbH\netX Studio CDT\preferences

    to its default

    To reset the entire netX Studio window layout to its default, download and run the batch script: netxstudio_reset_window_layout.bat

    The script deletes theworkbench.xmi file which stores the current state of all toolbar buttons and views.
