Hi Geertjan, This was a crash of the NB JVM, so I didn't think NB would have had an opportunity to write anything before it croaked. But I went to Application Support/NetBeans/11.0/var/log and checked there to see if there was the equivalent of a core dump. But just the messages. Since I had restarted NB since the crash, I looked in messages.log.1 to see if there were any messages prior to the crash. Looking back a couple hundred lines back from the end of the log, I see: WARNING [org.netbeans.modules.javascript2.editor.formatter.FormatContext]: Tried to remove EOL WARNING [null]: Last record repeated again. WARNING [null]: Last record repeated again.
followed by 167 WARNING messages like this: WARNING [org.netbeans.modules.editor.bracesmatching.MasterMatcher]: Origin offsets out of range, origin = [671, 698], caretOffset = 727, lookahead = 1, searching forward. Offending BracesMatcher: org.netbeans.modules.html.editor.HtmlBracesMatching@1293bde1 with only the coordinates & the caretOffset changing. Followed by the WARNING message: WARNING [org.netbeans.modules.versioning.util.Utils]: associateEncoding() no file object available for /var/folders/gz/86n0ss0j65q2v4mk50wfnx8h0000gn/T/vcs-1555092873422/vcs-1555362477084/index.html followed by the WARNING message: WARNING [org.netbeans.core.TimableEventQueue]: too much time in AWT thread null followed by three WARNING messages like this one: WARNING [org.netbeans.core.TimableEventQueue]: too much time in AWT thread org.netbeans.modules.sampler.InternalSampler@662b36a1 That's it. Since there are no time stamps on any of these entries, I have no idea whether these happened just before the crash or hours/days before. Is there anywhere else I should/could be looking for clues? Is this info enough to go on to open a Jira ticket? Thanks, Tom p.s. here's the beginning of the log file: >Log Session: Friday, April 12, 2019 at 2:14:24 PM Eastern Daylight Time >System Info: Product Version = Apache NetBeans IDE 11.0 (Build incubator-netbeans-release-404-on-20190319) Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.14.4 running on x86_64 Java; VM; Vendor = 11.0.1; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 11.0.1+13-LTS; Oracle Corporation Runtime = Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 11.0.1+13-LTS Java Home = /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home System Locale; Encoding = en_US (nb); UTF-8 Home Directory = /Users/thwolf Current Directory = / On Wed, Apr 17, 2019 at 11:55 AM Geertjan Wielenga <geert...@apache.org> wrote: > You’re always going to find NetBeans messages and log files in the user > directory. > > Gj > > > On Wed, 17 Apr 2019 at 11:47, Thomas Wolf <tjw...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Thanks Josh for your environment.
