Delay of Code Download

[phencer42]

When our team tries to download code from Netbeans on the Classmate to the cRIO it displays the building and downloading. After a bit the progress stops visually. If we wait long enough before stopping the code download it will tell us that the code has downloaded just fine is true. It works fine. However, if we don't wait long enough it will tell us that we have stopped the download and the code is not successfully downloaded.

We really don't want to have to wait and guess when to hit the stop button so if anyone could give us any ideas as to what could be going wrong that would be great.

Can you provide log output and identify where in the process it stops for a long time. We've been trying to add notifications where we can, looks like we MAY have missed one.

Sorry for not getting back right away. Here is one of our build & run logs:

[cRIO] Information: No user-supplied robotMain()

Then depending on how long we went before hittin the stop button it will either say "Build Stopped" or "Build Successful."

[derekwhite]

Ignoring for the fact that sometimes when you hit "Stop" it says one thing or another, I don't see anything going wrong here.

When you see "[cRIO] Information: No user-supplied robotMain()" that means that Java has started up, WPILib has started up, and your robot code has started up.

The "Build" doesn't stop because it is waiting to see if your running program is going to print out any messages, or if the system throws any exceptions it's going to print the exceptions in the same window.

I can see how this could be misleading though. The "Build Stopped" or "Build Successful" messages may be coming from "ant", a build tool used under the hood to build, deploy, and run your code.

[phencer42]

So if it tells us we stopped the build is the code still downloaded?

[phencer42]

^ We checked and came up with our own answer. Yes, it works.
