spine hangs on startup.

nimbling

Hi! I'm back from a week long holiday, and now Spine refuses to start. (Mentioning this because it worked fine before).
I installed the latest OSX update after this happened, but that did not help.

The log thinks it started just fine, but OSX reports the app as "(not responding)" nor is it showing any ui.

Log, trying to start after a full reinstall:

Spine Launcher 3.0.13

I got this from the FAQ:

Why does nothing happen when I run Spine?
Are you running antivirus or other software that may interfere with Spine? For example, Bit Defender and 360 Browser have been known to falsly identify Spine as a virus and delete portions of Spine's files. Exclude Spine's installation directory from being tampered with by such software and reinstall Spine.

Why does Spine hang at start up on Mac OS X?
Are you running antivirus or other software that may interfere with Spine? For example, Rescue Time needs to be closed when Spine is started.

Apart from that, I'm not sure what would cause this (especially that it worked before but now it doesn't) but I'll let Nate know.

I also got that from the FAQ, and disabled anything I could conceive interfering with Spine (Finder modifications, etc.) but that did not help.
I did a jstack PID thing, and got this in the terminal:

Thanks for the detailed report. Hopefully, it helps.

nimbling

No, thank you! 🙂
I'm hoping it's detailed enough, if there's more I can sample, please let me know.

Ok, so by some magic, Today, Spine asked for my license again and worked straight after that.
YAY! 🙂

I'm still available for helping tracking this issue down by the way.

Keep up the good work!
(Any plans on making the spine mesh and this guy's mesh work together?
http://svgimporter.com/ ) 😉

EDIT added two more samples. The first (2) of spine starting, the second (3) of when it hangs.
I'm a bit scared now, Spine is not starting again, with the same symptoms: not showing anything and just a "not responding" in the activity monitor.

Could we perhaps get in touch to fix this?

Nate

Sorry for the delay, was away visiting family.

The first jstack shows the "Spine" thread waiting for a vsync, which is a normal place to see Spine's execution. You might try running jstack multiple times and look at the "Spine" thread to try to catch it doing something else, but it seems to be running normally. The log says "Started." which means it got past all the initialization, that is when it should show the window and be running.

The logs in your last post unfortunately don't show anything helpful.

Are you running any display link software, for sharing your cell phone display? No Rescue Time?

It's bizarre that it was working, then suddenly stopped working, then worked once before not working again. Are you sure your system configuration didn't change? Sounds like some kind of race condition, but I'm not sure what it could be.

Have you tried updating your video drivers? Maybe go back a version?

You could try deleting (or otherwise moving) your Spine user files which are stored here:
Mac: <user home folder>/Library/Application Support/Spine/

nimbling

Thanks!

I haven't knowingly updated my video drivers, and once back ar work tomorrow I'll double check Duet is not starting on startup (though it has worked with that on). I'll do the prefs thing again, as that worked last time (other work popped up before I could try that again).

I'll keep you posted, and thanks again.

Hey! this is super weird, when I run it using the system's java like this:

java -jar /Applications/Spine/Spine.app/Contents/MacOS/launcher/launcher-full.jar

It shows me the interface!

I do get this output in the terminal though:
Can I help in resolving this further?

Oh, and when I resize the window, it flickers like mad. I think my java is borked somehow 🙁

I uninstalled my java upgrade, to no avail. I'm going to reinstall the latest Java again, to see if this helps. I do have some preferences set in Java to not install crapware... I hope that's not it! 🙁

Nate

I don't know what the cause of the CGSUpdateManager logging could be. Brief Googling mentions balancing viewDidLoad/Appear/Disappear, CGContextSave/RestoreGState, and save/restoreCurrentContext but none of those are a problem in our source.

Some flickering on window resize isn't too alarming. I've seen many other apps do this, such as Photoshop.

Changing your system Java will only have an effect when running from the command line as you have done. When running Spine.app it uses a version of Java bundled with Spine which allows us to control which Java version is used and ensure things are going to work as expected. It's very strange you can run with your system Java but not the bundled version!

Since Spine is working for us and other Spine users, there has to be something different about your hardware and/or software. Unfortunately I'm at a loss as to what that could be. 🙁 I know it's not ideal and I'd like to fix this as much as anyone, but at least you can run from the command line so you are no longer stuck.

Thanks! Yes me and my job are happy it works again... 😉

Photoshop does not flicker like this for me.

I'll see if a "repair permissions" helps, or find some other security settings. Some chown'ing should assure it's executable, no?

I'll post back my findings.

I noticed I have "custom access" - and I'm not listed in spine.app's priveleges list in the info pane in finder. Would changing that help?

Nate

Not sure, can't hurt. You could chmod -r 777 *.

nimbling

hey!
without sudo, I got "operation not permitted" on everything.

So I did

sudo chmod -R 777 *

which allowed me to change the permissions, except on the runtimes folder, which had an ACL set.

I cleared the ACL's using

sudo chmod -R -N *

My latest console output:

I'm trying to install the trial, but that does not work, either. OSX is kind enough to save a spindump, though.
Please advise.

Nate

It's not clear, did running via the .app file still fail to work after your chmod? You could also try sudo open -n Spine.app.

Lots of reports on Google about "excessive wakeups". It seems apps can spontaneously start doing this, Photoshop and others, but no answers as to why.

nimbling

That did not do the trick.

What puzzles me is how I ended up with "custom access" in the first place.

I have cleared the ACL's and tried some thorough chown'ing, but that did not help.

FOUND THE CULPRIT!
YAY!
It was Default Folder X! 🙂 🙂 🙂
http://www.stclairsoft.com/DefaultFolderX/

I added Spine.app to the exclude list and it booted straight away! 🙂

I'll contact them and ask them to look into it.

PHEW

Nate

Wow, kudos for figuring that out! 🙂 I've added it to the FAQ.
