Unable to open older definition containing clusters in Version 0.9.0075

Hi David,

I recently upgraded from GH Version 0.9.0056 to Version 0.9.0075 and found that I am now unable to open a definition I was working on that contains linked clusters. I have tried opening it with the solver disabled but to no avail; Grasshopper just hangs, and I have to force quit.

Is it possible for you to make an installation file for 0.9.0056 available so that I can remove these components and recover my definition?

Happy to send you the .gh file if you wish to test/troubleshoot in case others are experiencing the same issue.

Thanks,

Ryan

Haven't heard this before, so yes please,upload or email the gh file. The old installers are all still on the download server, but I'm on an iPad now and can't tell you what the url is for download, someone else will have to help with that.

Hi David,

After a bit of debugging on our end we were able to isolate this issue by disabling our network connection. Once we removed network connectivity, it loaded fine; we just had to internalize the clusters that were pointing to files on our network.

This is reminiscent of an issue that came up in the 0.9.56.0 where many users with gh definitions stored on a network experienced delays of 15 minutes or longer when Grasshopper first started up.

In my current case, the Grasshopper plugin opens normally, but when I attempt to open a file with a reference to a ghcluster on our network, Grasshopper stalls completely, just as in the previous bug.

Naturally, we can work around this by internalizing ghclusters, but I wonder if the solution you came up with for the previous loading issue (I assume a time-out) could also be applied here.

Best,

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

thanks for the detailed report. It may well be due to latency over a network, it certainly sounds like the same problem. I probably won't be able to have a good long look at this for a couple of weeks, probably not until after ICGG 2014.

At least it seems you have a work-around for the time being, as unideal as it may be...

In case they won’t accept it I’ll post it here soon, but if they do...

Please do provide some link to your paper after the conference...

It was agreed it will become available online either through them or through me. However it won't happen immediately after the conference.
