Appcelerator Studio indexes very slow

Question

Once in a while Appcelerator Studio starting task "Building workspace... " and it shows that it indexes "/iphone/hyperloop/..." or "/android/hyperloop/..." even though I've disabled hyperloop in my project. Does anyone know how can I get rid of this long indexing? It takes like 20 minutes and makes no sense to me.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Appcelerator Studio is dog slow and I suggest to use another editor. The editor is Eclipse-based I believe, but as long as it exists it has had performance issues. The build options that are built into the appc studio can be called using the command line (appc ti build ...).

Answer 2

Exclude these folders from the project tree by adding Resource filters. Add Exclude All resource filter type to root folder of your project. You can also use regular expressions if needed.

This will avoid indexing the excluded files and folders, hence it will improve the performance.

Steps:

1. Right click on the project
2. Click on the project
3. Go to Resources -> Resources Filter
4. Click on Add Filter...
5. Select "Exclude All" from the Filter Type section
6. Select "Folders" from the Applies to section
7. Enter "modules" in the textbox as shown below

Answer 3

You can disable the automatic build under "Preferneces - General - Workspace - Build automatically" or inside the Project menu disable "Build automatically". If you still have the problem you could file a ticket at https://jira.appcelerator.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa

I deleted all the previous module versions of hyperloop and facebook.

Go to:

Library>Application Support>Titanium>modules

Look in:

iphone>hyperloop
iphone>facebook
android>hyperloop
android>facebook

I deleted all previous modules in those folders, keeping only the latest.
