Description

Description:

I attempted to start an iOS simulator session with liveview and the app sits on the splash and the following is returned in the console for iOS:

[ERROR] :  [LiveView] Event Sever unavailable. Connection Refused
[ERROR] :  [LiveView] Event Sever unavailable. Connection Refused

For Android I get a runtime error, see attachment. The same behavior occurs with CLI and Studio.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Create a new project with services enabled 2) Launch a liveview session in simulator or emulator via CLI or Studio

Result:

Runtime error if android iOS hang on splash - errors in console

Expected Result:

The simulator/emulator launches, and liveview functions

This is an issue with Studio. The problem is the bin/liveview-server file has the incorrect permissions.
Eric Merriman 2013-05-09

Here is the list of permissions from bin up. Which one looks bad? Contents of my bin: -rwxr-xr-x 1 emerriman admin 2149 May 8 16:49 liveview -rwxr-xr-x 1 emerriman admin 562 May 3 10:02 liveview-help -rwxr-xr-x 1 emerriman admin 1305 May 3 10:02 liveview-install -rwxr-xr-x 1 emerriman admin 1065 May 3 10:02 liveview-rm -rwxr-xr-x 1 emerriman admin 1550 May 3 10:02 liveview-run -rwxr-xr-x 1 emerriman admin 1274 May 8 16:49 liveview-server My bin folder: drwxr-xr-x 8 emerriman admin 272 May 9 09:15 bin My liveview folder: drwxr-xr-x 13 emerriman admin 442 May 9 09:15 liveview Node module: drwxr-xr-x 4 emerriman admin 136 May 9 09:15 node_modules The plugin: drwxr-xr-x 7 emerriman admin 238 May 9 09:15 com.appcelerator.titanium.liveview.core_1.0.0.1368080563 The plugin folder: drwxr-xr-x@ 322 emerriman admin 10948 May 9 09:15 plugins And the application folder: drwxr-xr-x@ 17 emerriman admin 578 May 9 09:17 Appcelerator Studio

what do you get for ti config
Eric Merriman 2013-05-09

This works as well: /Applications/Appcelerator\ Studio/plugins/com.appcelerator.titanium.liveview.core_1.0.0.1368080563/node_modules/liveview/bin/liveview-server status

This is caused by spaces not being escaped in the bin path Resolved in 0.1.6 https://github.com/appcelerator/liveview/tree/0.1.16

Ingo Muschenetz 2013-05-11

I'm still getting this in 0.1.16:

   [LiveView] Server is already running
   -- Start simulator log -------------------------------------------------------
   [INFO] :   Application started

Note that I just restarted Studio, so there shouldn't be anything running. I also don't see any node processes. Is this an errant .pid file?

Christian Sullivan 2013-05-11

Resolved in 0.1.17 https://github.com/appcelerator/liveview/tree/0.1.17

Ingo Muschenetz 2013-05-12

This is actually now broken for me again. If I run 0.1.17, I get:

   [DEBUG] Terminating all iOS simulators

If I instead revert back to 0.1.16, it works, though I am able to get myself into a situation where it comes back again.

Ingo Muschenetz 2013-05-12

Sometimes it's a bad PID file. Suggest writing out console.log(FServer.pids()) as part of debug messaging for around line 147 of fserver.js Deleting the .pid file allowed me to recontinue.
Christian Sullivan 2013-05-12
Christian Sullivan 2013-05-12

To ensure a fresh install execute liveview-server stop from the bin folder of the node_modules/liveview to make sure all the pids are cleared before testing a new version.

FWIW, moving Appcelerator Studio to a location where the hook had no spaces in the path worked for me:

    Ingos-MacBook-Pro:com.appcelerator.titanium.liveview.core_1.0.0.1368309321 ingo$ ti config
    app.sdk             = "latest"
    app.workspace       = ""
    cli.colors          = true
    cli.completion      = false
    cli.failOnWrongSDK  = false
    cli.httpProxyServer = ""
    cli.logLevel        = "trace"
    cli.prompt          = true
    cli.quiet           = false
    paths.commands      = []
    paths.hooks         = ["/Applications/Appcelerator_Studio/plugins/com.appcelerator.titanium.liveview.core_1.0.0.1368309321/node_modules/liveview/hook"]
    paths.modules       = []
    paths.plugins       = []
    paths.sdks          = []

I don't have any spaces in the hook path. This was working yesterday when LiveView Version: 0.1.20 was up. This is not working anymore. LiveView Version: 0.1.21 Titanium SDK: 3.1.1.v20130509140103 Android Emulator: Google APIs 2.3.3 DHydeMBP:~ dhyde$ ti config paths.hooks /Applications/Appcelerator/Appcelerator_Studio_3.1.1/plugins/com.appcelerator.titanium.liveview.core_1.0.0.1368654722/node_modules/liveview/hook
Christian Sullivan 2013-05-16

Try running /Applications/Appcelerator/Appcelerator_Studio_3.1.1/plugins/com.appcelerator.titanium.liveview.core_1.0.0.1368654722/node_modules/liveview server stop then test again just to ensure all old pids have been cleared.

Dustin Hyde 2013-05-16

I ran:

    /Applications/Appcelerator/Appcelerator_Studio_3.1.1/plugins/com.appcelerator.titanium.liveview.core_1.0.0.1368654722/node_modules/liveview/bin/liveview server stop

and now it works.

Ingo Muschenetz 2013-05-17

I believe the fix for this was for LiveView to call 'liveview-server stop' to clear all PIDs when starting a new session.
Michael Xia 2013-08-14

Able to run app with LiveView on iOS simulator and Android emulator on Appcelerator Studio, build: 3.1.2.201308091728, OSX 10.8.3. Consider verified and closing.
