Mac Forum / Programming / Mac Programming / February 2005Xcode crashing
Alright, I admit, I did something stupid. I accidentally typed a unicode character into the editor while working on a text file, and when I tried to save it the editor gave me a choice "save as unicode". In my ignorance, I typed "Yes". Ever since then when I try to open the project, Xcode crashes. I've tried deleting the source module and recreating it with plain text, but it still crashes. Has anyone else seen this or have any suggestions?  Signature-spiff Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim.

Try to see if you can reproduce this on a dummy project. (which unicode character was it?) If so, file a bug report. Xcode shouldn't crash, ever, and unicode characters are allowed in Java source. > Has anyone else seen this or have any suggestions? Open the 'offending' source in a text editor and change the file encoding. patrick >>Alright, I admit, I did something stupid. > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > patrick Patrick, it was the Hebrew letter "shema". I'm not sure what unicode it is, since when I have to write Hebrew I just click on the little flag and change it. I did what you suggested and once again you've saved me. I did cheat a bit and use a shell with vi to remove the bad character, but that seems to have done the trick. Thanks once again. Signature-spiff Never be bullied into silence.

If you enable the Character Palette, using the Input Menu panel of the International pane of System Preferences, you can see from its Unicode Table panel that shema is \u05E9.

David, thank you for pointing that out. And thank you also for not pointing out my error in that I actually meant the Hebrew letter "shin", not "shema". Too tired and not thinking :-) Signature-spiff Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim.

Welcome to the desert. I have posted a question about xcode crashing on my project several times - i never got an answer. If it is a small project I would say the easiest way to make a new one. One time I could get my project back. I went into the [projectname].xcode bundle and delete the [username ].pbxuser file. I also did delete the [projectname].build folder. Make sure that you make a copy of your project files first. I also would delete the unicode character from your file with textedit.

The easiest way is to always use a source-code management system like CVS or Subversion, and simply revert your project back to the state it was in when it was last working. Problems like this are why SCM is useful even on one-man hobby projects. >>Welcome to the desert. I have posted a question about xcode crashing on my >>project several times - i never got an answer.

That is a great suggestion, why didn't I think of doing that first. I see that CVS is on the system, so I'm assuming that it can be integrated into Xcode easily? I'll search around and see what I can find. Thanks for the idea. Signature-spiff Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim.

I personally use an app called CVL, which is a very nice GUI app for CVS operations. I believe that similar things exist for Subversion, although since svn doesn't come with the system you'd have to go through the fun of installing it. > Xcode's CVS integration is rather poor, and I personally suggest avoiding > it altogether.

The installation for OSX has become very simple. Matthew E. Porter provides a good installer. The only thing you have to make manually, is to add the app-path and to symlink the path so that xcode will find it. I did not make a lot tests jet but it seams to work better than cvs. I did not need to use the command line or a gui jet, but the tasks I use it for are very simple.

I'll save your suggestion for a future problem. The way I'm going it should be long before I break something else ;-) Signature-spiff Never be bullied into silence.
