AI 18.4 Crashes when using old caches

Tue Jul 13, 2021 1:56 pm

Hi guys,

after switching to new 18.4 installer version all projects are crashing in ide (and jobs from jenkins) when building (not rebuilding) projects created with earlier version. Rebuilding project is successful.

After removing all cache directories existing from old builds with older versions of AI (17.8 / 18.11) everything is working properly.

Best regards,
Bernd

Hello Bernd,

This is quite strange, indeed.

I have tried testing this on our end, but I can not replicate the described behavior.

If possible, could you please give me a test-case which I can follow in order to reproduce this on my end so I can further investigate the behavior?

Best regards,

Hi Catalin,

I created simple msm project with AI 18.1.1.

To reproduce the problem:

- Download attached file
- Unzip it
- Load project with AI 18.1.1 --> build and rebuild are working properly.
- Load project with AI 18.4 --> build (not rebuild) results in error --> AI runs into a problem with exaclty the one I described.
- Removing that cache folder resolves the problem.

Hopefully it helps.

Bets regards and thank you,
Bernd

Hello Bernd,

Unfortunately, the issue has not yet being fixed.

I will update this thread when it will.

The only solution for the moment would be removing the cached folder as you have described above.
