Re: PgAdmin 4 not working in Windows 10

Hi Dave,

 

I am delighted to report that the new release of pgAdmin4 version 1.1 dated Nov 23 2016 has resolved my long-standing troubles with crashes when I open a database with pgAdmin. I had it yesterday running for 24 hours without failure. Up to then this product had been quite unusable on my work PC.

Hi

 

Please keep the mailing list CC'd, or I won't be able to help any further.

 

Do you have another machine you can test on?

Hi Dave,

 

Sorry – I did as you asked but it immediately refused to open the database and crashed as below:

Hi,

 

Please keep the mailing list CC'd.

 

Can you please try the standalone pgAdmin installer from https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin3/pgadmin4/v1.0/windows/? I want to see if this is related to the build process (the standalone installers use a very different process from the EDB ones, and this looks like it might be a Qt issue from the info you've provided).

 

It won't interfere with your existing installation, except in that it'll use the same config and log file etc.

 

Thanks.

Hi Dave,

 

I have been successful in running the latest PgAdmin all day up to now/ But it’s now returned to its old tricks. I have restarted the server, tried three times with pgAdmin 4 and each time it gives me a similar error on clicking on a database on the localhost.

 

Any ideas? I attach the Report.wer file automatically generated.

Hi

Hi,

 

I have recently installed the new Postgres 9.6 RC1, having previously used 9.2, 9.4, and 9.5 extensively for all our business activities.

 

As a test, I performed a pg_upgrade to create a new copy of several databases on 9.6 RC1. All fine.

 

However PgAdmin 4 always crashed with the usual ‘PgAdmin stopped working’ message that it has always been prone to – but this time whenever I try to open ANY database.

 

I'm not aware that it's always been prone to that. I've seen one or two reports, but that was amongst over 500 issues during development..

 

 

I spent several hours installed Python in case it needed that to run correctly, and this seemed to improve things – it now crashes only every 10 minutes or so. But now it’s gone back to crashing whenever I open a database again.

 

Unless you've modified the config options, then installing Python won't make any difference. The runtime itself (which is the bit that would give the message above) is written in C++, and is linked with the Python interpreter at build time.

 

 

So Question 1: Where is the pg_admin log now being stored if anywhere – if not, where can I set its path so I can see what’s happening?

 

Under the %AppData% directory, e.g. C:\Users\dpage\AppData\Roaming\pgAdmin\pgadmin.log. You can change that in config_local.py (see config.py for the default setting, which you can copy/paste into config_local.py to override).

 

Note that that is the log for the application server, i.e the Python code that is hosted in the runtime. The runtime doesn't have it's own log, besides what you might find in the event viewer.

 

Question 2 – why doesn’t pgAdmin 4 for windows 10 work?

 

It does for thousands of other people (at least we assume it does - they're keeping quiet if it doesn't). Of course there are always exceptions where some unexpected environmental issue causes problems.

 

 

Since we use the Express for Windows Desktop version of Visual Studio 2015, the path to the debugger seems unavailable – have you any suggestions how to find out what is going wrong?

 

It does sound like a runtime issue. You could install Qt, then try compiling/debugging your own build of the runtime. I'd hold on that option for the moment though, as it can take a little effort to setup a build environment.

 

Before you do anything else though, please make sure you upgrade to PostgreSQL 9.6.0 and pgAdmin 4 1.0 (i.e. the GA versions, not RC1).

 

 

I am happy to return to 9.5 for the moment, but I was really looking forward to using the new interface, and implementing it for all our users across the country.

 

Sadly,

 

Nigel
