which seems to cause other errors in IDEA which make a "Unable to save settings" popup appear whenever I ctrl+s or go into project structure

the errors go away with the Kobalt plugin disabled in case you're wondering.

Sounds strange, because if you don't have Kobalt enabled for the project, then plugin doesn't handle this project at all. Could you please provide some steps how to reproduce it for the new project without Kobalt?

@dmitry.zhuravlev: Just opening a project gives me the error. I tried to make a new project to try the Kobalt option in the new project wizard, and just going to new > Project... gives me "Could not initialize class com.beust.kobalt.intellij.KFiles" as well, so it definitely seems like a problem on my end somewhere

You could try to reinstall (delete and install) plugin and see if it help. And which version of IDEA do you use? Copy exact build number from IDEA's about window.

IC-143.382

Hi @cedric how can I debug this error i started getting in IDEA?

Error:RemoteException occurred in server thread; nested exception is: 
	java.rmi.NoSuchObjectException: no such object in table

ugh I have no idea, why do you think I should know? 🙂

Is that Kobalt related?

sorry, yeah it's a Kobalt error when I try to sync the build file

Can you file an issue with the stack trace on

kobalt-intellij-plugin

?

Pardon my ignorance, but how do i get that stack trace? (where to look for it)

(nothing more is printed in the IDEA console/message area)

Hopefully you’ll find it in the `idea.log`:

Help -> Open log file in Explorer/Finder

ok

Thanks! I found the full stack trace but it seems unrelated to Kobalt.

Then it occurred to me to delete some dependencies from the build file, sync, undelete, sync again. And now sync works again (after having tried syncing 4-5 times before with that rmi error).

mmmh still odd but yeah, not sure what we can do unless you can reproduce this consistently

On second look, I do see kobalt in the stack trace. I opened an issue just in case.

I decided that I should update Kobalt on Homebrew. I set up everything, get ready to send the PR and then I realize… it’s an empty diff. Looking at Homebrew, not only is the latest Kobalt already there but a bunch of users have been dutifully updating Kobalt there these past months. I have to say, the Homebrew system was a bit bizarre to me at first but it’s no wonder it’s so popular.

homebrew is awesome

The idea that random people can update packages they don’t own is a bit dangerous, though, isn’t it?

it’s not really any different from any of the linux distros.

i think if an owner came along something could be worked out.

What do you mean with Linux distros?

apt, yum, gentoo

Didn’t realize that. It’s crazy.

How do I know that the kobalt that these people uploaded doesn’t contain malware?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
