Project won't open

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey I have the same here.
I was able to close/reopen the XML a few times and it came back to life.
It's almost as if it only partially loads a project file intermittently at the moment

[d.healey]

@dustbro Was that with my project?

[Christoph Hart]

Sorry guys, I'll take a look at this tomorrow, seems like a rather critical one :)

@d-healey Is this behaviour reproducable with the project you posted?

[d.healey]

@christoph-hart I only posted the xmlpreset and the .hip file. Do you need the full project?

Edit: Just in case I have the whole project here - https://github.com/davidhealey/librewave_woodwinds and requires my scripting framework submodule - https://github.com/davidhealey/HISE-Scripting-Framework

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey it was one of my projects

You seem to have a lot of absolute (Linux) paths in your samplemaps, which all are redirected to /media/dave/Work 1/Xtant Audio/Products/Virtual Instruments/Woodwind/Sofia Woodwinds/Sessions/. This prevents anyone else from loading your project unless they are named Dave and have the same directory structure :)

Resolving these paths make the debug version of HISE go mad. Have you tried redirecting the sample folder (last setting in HISE Settings -> Project Settings)?

[Christoph Hart]

I disabled sample map loading in order to load your project and it loads fine here. Can you check if that works on your system? Just add a return statement in this method in hi_sampler/sampler/ModulatorSamplerData.cpp:657:

void SampleMap::load(const PoolReference& reference)
{
	LockHelpers::freeToGo(sampler->getMainController());

	clear(dontSendNotification);

	currentPool = getSampler()->getMainController()->getCurrentSampleMapPool();

	sampleMapData = currentPool->loadFromReference(reference, PoolHelpers::LoadAndCacheWeak);
	currentPool->addListener(this);

	return; // <= skips the sample map loading...

	if (sampleMapData)
	{
		auto v = sampleMapData.getData()->createCopy();

		parseValueTree(v);
		changed = false;
	}
	else
		jassertfalse;

	sendSampleMapChangeMessage();
}

I can imagine it has something to do with the sample loading interfering on the background thread with something else. If that fixes your problem, I need to get the samples somehow so I can fully reproduce your scenario.

[d.healey]

@christoph-hart Brilliant, that fixed it. So keeping the samples outside my project folder until I'm ready to monolithasize them is not a good idea!

[Christoph Hart]

Well, have you checked out the redirect Sample folder option? I added this exactly for your scenario (sample working directory is on another drive).

It basically creates the same link file as the compiled plugin (LinkWindows / LinkOSX / LinkLinux) in the sample folder and resolves all sample references as relative path to the given folder so you end up with these nice

{PROJECT_FOLDER}Sample.wav

references in the sample map even if the samples are not in the actual Samples subfolder.

@christoph-hart Oh I forgot. Just tried it and it seems to have worked :D
