4.17.8 breaks WiThrottle

#167074

I just installed 4.17.8 on Windows 10.? WiThrottle is broken.? I can start the WiThottle Server and it advertises it self correctly - on my system it is 192.168.1.75:12090.? I use Engine Driver on my Samsung S4 and it works correctly on my previous release - 4.12 - but on 4.17.8 Engine Driver shows connected but the WiThrottle Server does not list my phone and I have no control from Engine Driver.? I cannot control layout power (Digitrax) and I cannot select a loco.? Furthermore if I stop Engine Driver I can no longer get it to appear connected.? I have to restart JMRI to get a new connection attempt.?

Hi Dale,
A couple of things to try:
1) Connect to my demo server (jmri.mstevetodd.com:44444) It is also running 4.17.8, and works fine in my testing.
2) Check your JMRI System console for any ERROR messages or crashes. The symptom of having to restart JMRI indicates a crash to me.
3) Restart JMRI with a new, clean profile, starting ONLY the WiThrottle server. Do not point it to your existing user files. Trying to determine if this is related to data (e.g. something in your roster, panel, etc.)
Please advise results.

Hi Dale,

I'm also not seeing any issues with my installs here.

Is it possible that the new install of JMRI is not being recognized by a firewall and that the permission (or exception) needs to be reset?

Regards,
Brett

Just tried at home using LocoNet Simulator. Unable to try on club layout for a couple weeks. 
Windows 10
Engine Driver version 2.24.93

I was able to select and "control" several different locos. I was also able to exit Engine Driver and restart it with it connecting to the WiThrottle server correctly.

What version of Engine Driver are you using Dale?

Steve,

Connecting to your server works.? Starting with a clean profile also works.? Here is the log form a failed startup.? Seems like something to do with a consist file. I found a consist xml file under my roster, can I just delete it?? Will deleting it fix the error?? I appended the contents below the log.

Steve,

a further update.? I attempted to run the Consist manager and it failed with the same messages as in the log that I posted - so my guess is that there is something in the Consist file that is a problem.? As you can see that file was written by 4.11.5ish + ...

Yes, you should be able to delete it.
It would be helpful if you could post it somewhere so we can use it to update JMRI to avoid similar crashes in the future.

#167129

Steve,

the entire Consist file is part of my post number 167102 or do you need it in another format?? I could upload it to the files area if needed.

Dale,

To be sure of not loosing anything in translation, would be good if you can upload the original to the files area.

Thanks.

I uploaded the file as consist_old.xml to the files area.?

I renamed consist.xml to consist_old.xml and started WiThrottle.? WiThrrottle works correctly without the consist.xml file (can't find it since I renamed it) so there is something in the file that breaks WiThrottle in 4.17.8

WiThrrottle works correctly without the consist.xml file (can't find it since I renamed it) so there is something in the file that breaks WiThrottle in 4.17.8Thanks for uploading the file.   I will take a look at that and see if I can find out why it failed to load.
