Last Update breaks LinqPad5

Tanis64

Hello
With the Last Update installed I'am not able to start LinqPad5.
Starting LinkPad5 in Morning I see a Status Update Downloading in the WindowTitle.
After restrting it it comes up with an Error Dialog:
System.NullReferenceException
Try to deinstall and reinstall it, even with an older Install Binary brings no Solution for that issue.

Best Regards
Christopher

Same here, but a different error. I can't connect to Nuget after the last update. I keep getting a 407 error. I'm able to connect to Nuget via Visual Studio without issues. I've entered my web proxy settings and the Test returned Successful! Any ideas what I should do next?

Actually, this is fixed now. It works now while using another userid & password. It's weird that it's acting that, but it works now. Thanks.

I'm having the same problem as the OP.

The error logs indicate a CLR-related problem. It seems that a base constructor is somehow being bypassed. The assembly in question is contained as a resource within LINQPad - specifically, APS.SyntaxEditor.WinForms - and peculiarly, that assembly has not changed since the 5.02.03 build. The error is being reported at a rate of ~2 users per 1000, across X86/X64 and Windows 7/10.

First, have you tried re-starting the computer?

If that doesn't help, can you try copying the LINQPad folder onto another machine and running it there, just to verify that the files are valid?

Also can you check that there are no DLLs or executables in the LINQPad folder, aside of LINQPad.exe, and LPRun.exe?

I tried to restart the computer,
I Copied the LinqPad5 Folder to an other Machine and tried it there
No DLLs and no other executables are int the folder.
Nothing changes the situation, still not able to run it.

My xcopy deploy folder works fine when I copy it to a different machine. Both of my machines are Win7 x64 Pro.

Same problem as the OP on two of three machines.

In the LINQPad5 folder there are the following files:
LINQPad.exe
LINQPad.exe.config
LPRun.exe
LPRun.exe.config
unins000.dat
unins000.exe
and a folder ngen001

In this folder there are:
Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.dll
Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.dll
Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.VisualBasic.dll
System.Collections.Immutable.dll
System.Reflection.Metadata.dll

that's all.

I also tried to use an old installer but this result in the same error.

asherber

I deleted my xcopy folder and did the full install -- still having same problem.

Can you try running the new beta:

http://www.linqpad.net/download.aspx#beta

It's possible that it will crash in another place; if so, please submit the error report and that will enable me to locate the root cause.

Thanks

Hi Joe,
this version is running without start problems!

Do you need something else?

JoeAlbahari

Are you able to check that IntelliSense works properly? Alternatively, run the following query and tell me the result:

Thanks!

Tanis64

The Beta Works, Result of Query shows OK
Thanks for fast support!

GreenEyedAndy

IntelliSense is working and the result of your query is OK.

asherber

The beta is not working for me. I get a type initializer exception in LINQPad.LanguageServices.EditorServices. I'll submit the stack trace from the dialog.

JoeAlbahari

asherber - would you like to try again with the latest beta and let me know.

asherber

Yes, thanks – that works! I'm curious what the issue was ...
