This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
1) Fresh install of NB 8.1 C++ x64 2) Add new C++ remote server (SSH, password, autodetect (GNU), SFTP) - success 3) Connect to server - success 4) Right click - open project - file open dialog opens and no folders are listed (hangs indefinitely); checking the traffic with wireshark, no traffic to the server after open project is clicked 5) Right click - create new c++ project (with existing sources) - browse - the same symptom as in 4) The terminal console connection from NB (right click on server...) works fine, so it can connect to the server. It seems that NB does not send any browse query over SFTP when open/browse dialogs are opened. If the path is entered manually, it says "Validating" indefinitely, but no traffic to the server. The connection is made through secure VPN. Tried uninstall/cleanup NB/cleanup ssh/restart etc. Nothing helped. Older version 8.0.2, which was installed couple of months ago, connects and opens remote projects without any problems on the same infrastructure. I also had one instance of 8.1 installed in october working fine, but had to remove it. But now any fresh installation of 8.1 or 8.0.2 on that or different PCs and different infrastructure have the symptoms above. Let me know what logs do you need and how to create them.
What is your remote host system? Could you launch NetBeans with additional tracing flags -J-Dnativeexecution.support.logger.level=0 -J-Dremote.support.logger.level=0 and attach IDE log? Please note that it can contain user and machine name you would probably like to strip.
I need more information to be able to work on this. Please feel free to reopen with more information.
Created attachment 158295 [details] Log I hope this helps. After null (last line) the GUI waits indefinitely (until cancel button brings it back).
Could you please do the following: - login (in console) to yore remote host - launch the following utility /var/tmp/dlight_[username]/5ecfc134/bin/Linux-x86/fs_server -t 4 -p -d /var/tmp/dlight_[username]/5ecfc134/fs_server_cache -c -v 4 - feed it with commands i 2 0 o 0 11 access=fast l 1 1 / I guess it will hang at this moment. If not then please proceed with command l 2 0 /dun/homes/[username] Will it hang? If it will, could you please do the same, but with with strace (just prefix the same command with strace; strace will trace all system calls, most likely this will show where it hangs)
Created attachment 158327 [details] Log of requested command The requested command went fine in the command line without hanging
Please take into consideration, that the projects from the same server can be opened with NB 8.0.2, but only from the PC with which the projects were originally created a year ago. No success from other PCs. Strange thing is, that when I installed NB 8.1 back in November 2015 (on Win 10) it worked great with the server. But after reinstalling windows, I am not able to connect with NB 8.1 anymore. Tried multiple PCs and user names, the result is the same. The connection to the server goes through a VPN. It shouldn't be the problem with the server, because the particular instance of NB 8.0.2 works. I assumed it had something to do with local settings (cache) on my PC, but I made it work on fresh instance of NB 8.0.2 after reinstalling windows, so this should not be the case. NB 8.1 doesn't work no matter what I do.
This is misterious... Could you get NetBeans full thread dump at the moment dialog shows empty list and hungs? Here is an article on how to do this http://wiki.netbeans.org/GenerateThreadDump I prefer launching NetBeans from Windows console and pressing Ctrl+Break in this console
Created attachment 158330 [details] Full console log for NB 8.1
Created attachment 158331 [details] Full console log for NB 8.0.2 The same procedure made in NB 8.0.2 as in NB 8.1, but this one succeeds
Created attachment 158332 [details] Messages for NB 8.0.2 The message log corresponding to "nb 8.0.2 full.log"
Are there any updates on this?
