ST3 Build 3114 hang requiring force quit over and over again

#1

I’m not sure what is causing this, might be searches might be something else…
But I’m experiencing inconsistent search results and also inconsistent but regular hangs where the pinwheel of doom spins indefinitely for my pleasure… Thoughts?

[editted] Saving definitely causes it to hang as well.

This is a pretty significant problem

Did you try without installed packages?
Did you try reinstalling ST3?

This is just a shot in the dark, because I’ve had this happen to me before, but not in Sublime specifically, and in Yosemite and not El Cap.

The last time this happened to me it was caused by an NFS share whose server unceremoniously went away while I still had the share mounted.

As such the OS was spinning its wheels trying to get information that it could not. This wasn’t even because I was trying to access files from inside the share; it was just trying to obtain the list of files in a path that had a share mounted inside of it. In this case, a simple ls would work but ls -l would hang forever.

The same may or may not be true for other kinds of network shares (I’m in a mixed Unix environment here, so I haven’t noodled with any Samba shares or anything). I assume intermittent network problems could also cause such pauses and drops as well.

I have and it seems to work fine… Though it’s a sporadic thing. It’s hard to actually do a real comparison because I’m pretty reliant on some of my packages to work with any reasonable speed. I’ve got the Activity Monitor running to see if there’s a CPU or Memory Spike the next time.

All the directories I’m working with right now are local. :pensive:
Thank you though. That sounds obnoxious to deal with.
I think I’m going to downgrade to 3103. Apparently someone else about a month ago had piles of issues with freezes and hangs once they upgraded.

I use ST3 3114 on OSX El Capitan with no problems at all. No hangs, freezes or slow downs. So I guess it might be a 3rd party package that causes problems. It would be cool if you found out which package is the culprit.

Must be. I did update El Cap semi recently. Which may have been what borked it.
Installing 3103 seems to have corrected it. It’s possible the os upgrade interfered. I’ll probably try upgrading when the next release after the current major project is finished. I honestly don’t care enough right now to try and hypothesize with looming deadlines. It’ll have to be a thought exercise for later or never…

Bright side is that it seems to be running way smoother. So 4 hours or so down for better productivity all in all= win.

My old package set is below I’m not using the exact set though there certainly is a bit of overlap when it comes to things like Babel, Emmet and the linting packages
“Babel”,
“Block Cursor Everywhere”,
“BracketHighlighter”,
“Color Highlighter”,
“ColorPicker”,
“Colorsublime”,
“CSS Extended Completions”,
“CSS3”,
“Emmet”,
“Emmet Style Reflector”,
“GitGutter”,
“HTML-CSS-JS Prettify”,
“HTML5”,
“LESS”,
“lessc”,
“Origami”,
“Package Control”,
“Preferences Editor”,
“SideBarEnhancements”,
“Sublime Tutor”,
“SublimeCodeIntel”,
“SublimeLinter”,
“SublimeLinter-contrib-eslint”,
“SublimeLinter-contrib-stylelint”

Orr not.
Just did it again.

Are you on 10.11.5?

It’s the only thing that has changed recently. :-/
I know better than updating my OS… and yet…

May be an issue with Emmet: https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues/1228

Yep, using 10.11.5. You really should try to replicate the bug without no packages installed. And then test one by one which package is to blame.

I guess it is possible that the package works with previous ST3 version but not with the latest.

Yeah true. But it also can wait until we are no longer in the “Oh my god, it just needs to be done yesterday, We demo in three weeks!!!” stage…

I’m also experiencing hangs with Build 3114, on Windows (beta - my Windows version is 14367.0)

When I launch Sublime I’m greated with the changelist window. Once I close it, Sublime becomes unresponsive after a few seconds. I have a 100% repro, which also means that I can’t use Sublime on my machine right now.

I’ve uninstalled it, deleted the Sublime folder under Program Files, reinstalled build 3114, but the problem persists.

Thanks,
Antonio.

@amsjunior have you tried this?: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/revert.html

@kingkeith, thanks for the link. I just tried that procedure, but the problem persists. I can see the folders being re-created under %APPDATA% and %LOCALAPPDATA%. Sublime still hangs right after being launched.

Thanks,
Antonio.
