Problem with connecting to erlide node.

[flodihn]

When trying to build, I get this error:

21:28:02,371 F: (InternalBuilder.java:203) : Will compile 1 resource(s)
21:28:02,371 F: (BackendFactory.java:47) : Create build backend 20
21:28:02,372 F: (BackendFactory.java:54) : Create backend 20_4a18_Cflow_6e1344

21:28:02,398 F: (OtpNodeProxy.java:213) : [email protected]: waiting connection to peer...

I think it is because I run an -sname test@localhost that seems to try connecting to the localhost.mynet which does not exist. Can I make erlide just run a short name node?

Actually, I just did:

C:\Users\Cflow>ping localhost.mynet

Pinging localhost.mynet [192.168.1.196] with 32 bytes of data:

So in theory it should work.

Have you tried the "Troubleshooting" page on the preferences dialog? It shows which host names work (because Java and Erlang may resolve them differently) and allows to save the working configuration.

I tried this myself now and it looks like the values are not saved properly. I will look at it.

Thanks for the quick reply, I tried a lot of things, like switching between long/short names in my run configuration, changed to an older R17 OTP, etc, finally I downloaded the beta and now compiling seems to be working fine.

What version did you have before?

[flodihn]

I just picked the latest stable version using the given URL from the download page.

Ok, then I still have to look at this because the latest beta is like two years old... I might ask you to test stuff, if that's ok?

Sure, no problem.
