[Beta] Unhandled exception when launching settings dialog

February 5, 2017 at 10:25 PM

I have a hunch it's because the network servers aren't being cached for some reason... Each time I launch vSTARS, it says there was an error downloading the server list. It's not being blocked in my firewall either.

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
   <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Can you have a look at your vSTARSConfig.xml file (in the same folder as the EXE) and see if it lists any saved servers?

February 6, 2017 at 03:43 AM

CachedServers element is empty. Not sure if this will be of any help, but here's the NetworkStatusURL value:

<NetworkStatusURL>QV3c4DoqB1Y=</NetworkStatusURL>

It seems shorter than what your other apps (vERAM, vPilot) have in their respected config file:

<NetworkStatusURL>pZ9u441bE4a2NCGgqMxKNvwAIy0qEA+AwXB8c3sV90c=</NetworkStatusURL>

I've tried reinstalling vSTARS with an empty config file, but still no luck.

February 6, 2017 at 04:01 AM

The empty config file prevents the crash though, right?

February 6, 2017 at 04:05 AM

No. If I delete the config file, launch vSTARS (it throws its "error downloading server list" dialog), import and load a facility, it'll still throw the unhandled exception when attempting to launch the settings dialog (ctrl + s).

February 11, 2017 at 06:37 AM

After you install the empty config file, does it contain some cached servers?

February 12, 2017 at 01:35 AM

If by "install" you mean delete and let vSTARS generate a new one, no it does not populate the cached servers. The only way I've been able to get around it was to copy the obfuscated server list URL and cached servers from the vERAM config to the vSTARS config.

February 12, 2017 at 01:37 AM

No, I mean install it from the installer. There is an option in the installer to install an empty config file with no profiles. That config file will have a starting list of servers.

February 12, 2017 at 01:42 AM

Note that deleting your config file will definitely not work because it won't have the "status URL" to download servers from.

If you copied the status URL from vERAM, that should allow you to download new servers. If you're still getting the error, then something is blocking the HTTP request.

February 12, 2017 at 01:44 AM

Well now I'm stumped. I just uninstalled and removed all vSTARS files and installed the latest non-beta version then upgraded to the 1.1 beta with no issues. I'm not sure what caused it the first time... I'll keep trying to reproduce it for you, though.

But to answer your last post, yes I copied both the status URL and the cached servers from the vERAM config when I first got the error.

February 12, 2017 at 10:30 PM

I am having the same issue as Justin. Press CTRL+S and the "Unhandled Exception" error pops up.

Edit: I'm going to try to do what Justin said about using the ERAM servers...

February 13, 2017 at 02:46 PM

I no longer have the issue. I put the server files from ERAM in the config and it works fine.

March 10, 2017 at 06:12 PM

I'm getting it on startup

Edit: Which version of vSTARS are you getting this error with?

(Thanks Brad, for pointing out that this is a vSTARS thread ... I had indeed [Mod - Happy Thoughts]umed vPilot.)

March 12, 2017 at 02:20 AM

Latest beta and 1.1.1

March 12, 2017 at 04:11 AM

Which version were you running when you got the error you pasted in your original post here?

March 13, 2017 at 12:28 AM

1.1.2

March 13, 2017 at 04:04 AM

Very strange ... I've looked at the code referenced in your crash report, and I can't see any way that it could cause a null reference exception. You mentioned it happens on startup ... do you mean right when you first start vSTARS, or after you select a facility?

March 13, 2017 at 05:56 PM

First starting the .exe

March 13, 2017 at 06:17 PM

I think I'm going to need a copy of your vSTARSConfig.xml file in order to troubleshoot this. Could you zip up that file and post it somewhere for me to download? Don't post the URL publicly since it will contain an encrypted version of your VATSIM p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word. You can send me the download URL (dropbox, google drive, whatever) via private message here.

March 13, 2017 at 07:40 PM

It was regardless if it was the config file was empty/clean or the one used from the older version it still threw that error. If it was a new config it'd throw a "Error in XML docomeent 2,2"

March 13, 2017 at 07:42 PM

That's a different issue ... I'm not talking about the config file being the cause of this new issue. I'm saying I need a copy of the config file in order to reproduce and troubleshoot this new issue.

March 14, 2017 at 08:13 PM

Dominic, give this one a try, it *might* fix the issue:

http://vstars.metacraft.com/[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ets/Files/Installers/vSTARS-Setup-1.1.3.exe

March 15, 2017 at 12:22 AM

It works (from someone else experiencing the issue).

March 15, 2017 at 01:02 AM

Everything works, thanks Ross
