Deleting .zsh_history file safe? - android-studio

Is deleting your .zsh_history file safe? I want to avoid it but when I'm updating Android Studio there's some sort of conflict and it won't complete unless I delete the file. I should mention that I'm on macOS and had to change the default shell to zsh from bash for the Catalina update.
Android Studio Update Output

.zsh_history keeps the history of commands you entered in zsh. So yes, it's safe to delete, the only thing that happens is that your history will be gone.

Note that the file that Android Studio wants to delete is not your zsh history. The relative path is Contents/plugins/terminal/.zsh_history, so the full path is (probably) /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/plugins/terminal, and if you look the file is likely to be 0 bytes.
Your history is most likely in your home directory.

Can't find Android Size Analyzer in Android Studio

According to https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/reduce-apk-size, I should be able to install Android Size Analyzer as a plugin, but nothing shows up.
Android Studio -> File -> Settings -> Plugin -> Marketplace -> search for "Android Size Analyzer"
UPDATE: 17th May 2022
After a lot of trials, errors & frustration, I was able to make it work. Here are the steps: (for MacOS)
Download the the plugin's zip folder from the Github https://github.com/android/size-analyzer/releases
Extract the zip and add the size-analyzer executable and the analyzer.jar to Users/<your_user>/Library/Android/platform-tools
(You can add the above files to any place but I bundled it with platform-tools because this location was already present in my $PATH variable. Wherever you place those two files, please make sure that this location is present in your $PATH variable else it won't work. Don't know how to set path variables? Please refer this https://techpp.com/2021/09/08/set-path-variable-in-macos-guide)
Now in your Android Studio Terminal, run the following command
size-analyzer check-project <your-path-to-project-directory>
(After above step, If the terminal complains like size-analyzer command not found, it means your $PATH variable is not set properly)
After analyzing the entire project, it shows output like this
The result analysis provides lots of suggestions and space saving options. Thank you Google for such amazing plugin : )
=================
OLD : 16th May 2022
The AS plugin Android Size Analyzer is deprecated! It's no more indexed on Plugin Market Place(You cannot install it directly from AS anymore).
I even tried installing the plugin from their GitHub Repo, but all in vain. When adding the plugin to studio from disk, the following error popped up.
Maybe you can try downgrading the studio and then install it.
Looks like, we'll be on our own for a while : (

Gradle Error: Path is not a readable directory for an Android Project saved in OneDrive

I tried to use a OneDrive folder to store my Flutter project [Windows 10, Android Studio]. I then made edits to it on another machine [same configurations]. The project compiled fine on the first machine initially and on the second one after the changes. Running it on the first machine again after the changes I get the below error:
Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.
Path "build/[package]/intermediaries/compiled_local_resources" is not a readable directory.
I've tried a number of solutions mentioned in similar, though not equivalent issues:
Updating Android Studio
Running Android Studio as Administrator
Removing the [package] from my dependencies (this resulted in a
different package being identified in the error message).
Pressing File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart...
Commenting out
"org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536M" in gradle.properties
Doing:
cd android
gradlew clean
None of this worked.
I had the same problem today:
Path "build/[package]/intermediaries/compiled_local_resources/debug/out" is not a readable directory.
I was able to fix this issue by deleting the .gradle and rebuilding the project.
All I did was create the (empty) directory that it was looking for and it built fine afterward.
mkdir -p compiled_local_resources/debug/out
I had the same issue, came out of no where and it really shouldn't make the build fail... but all I did was create the (empty) directory that it was looking for and it built fine afterwards.
In the end the only thing that worked for me was pushing the project up to a Git remote and cloning it from there into another (local) directory.
[not sure this counts as a solution but nothing else worked for me after a long agonising search so hopefully it helps someone]
I know the OP had Windows, but if it helps anyone else in the future:
On Mac OS I discovered (the hard way) that Android Studio and Flutter do not play nice with being stored in iCloud! I noticed that some files weren't available locally and that's what was causing the problem for me. I moved my project out of iCloud (forcing it to download the missing files forever) and then it was fine.
Deleting the android/.gradle folder worked for me.
+1 also to the #1 answer (Vadow). As I do not have 50 points yet was not able to add this as a comment, so will have to post separately.
Like the OP, I have two machines - and got into trouble (Synology Drive). Vadow's solution worked for me, but I also had to do:
Flutter Clean
Flutter Pub Get
on the terminal and from within the project directory to get things follow back up and running.
Thank you Stackoverflow, and thank you Vadow!

sublime text 3 sidebar autoupdating not working

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to make it so that sublime text 3 automatically updates the sidebar when i add a new folder/file to the current project in finder (osx).
Right now, I have to manually go to Project -> Refresh Folders
My user preferences are probably not the issue as they are very basic:
{
"color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Solarized (Light).tmTheme",
"font_size": 18,
"tab_size": 2,
"translate_tabs_to_spaces": true
}
If anyone could help that would be great as I have tried googling, searching for an answer to this but havent found anything that works.
Thanks in advance.
I recently began experiencing this issue and it turned out to be DropBox related. Once I removed DropBox and restarted my machine the folder refreshing began working as before. Also, DropBox was affecting several other apps, specifically SourceTree and Transmit as well as Sublime Text 3.
I had this same issue. You could always bind the folder refresh to a hotkey. While this is not a complete fix for auto-updating, it still saves you from a more lengthy manual refresh. I believe this is how Dreamweaver works as well.
I had the same issue with ST3 (OSX 10.9.2). It was something wrong with the root folder of my projects. I created new folder Code1, moved all of my projects there, removed old Code folder and renamed new Code1 to Code. This bit of magic returned things back to normal.
Open the console and see if there are any errors. It logs when there are changes to the filesystem.
I've had this problem when I used disks that where mounted with samba. My best guess is that this has something to do with the OS or filesystem not triggering the correct events for sublime to realize that there's new stuff in the folders.
I'm guessing that the disk on which the project you're working on belongs to a mounted disk, that might have a different filesystem. Try moving the project and see if that helps. If that is the case maybe you ought to see over which flags and stuff you're using when mounting the disk on which the project was originally stored.
How you would go about fixing that however I have no clue about since I don't have any experience with OSX.
This could be the result of an error with the plugin SidebarEnhancements, as was the case for me. Using package control I removed the plugin. I couldn't package install the plugin back as it would not show up on the list of available plugins. So instead I followed this github issue in the repo and got it cloned into the correct directory.
Another side note, in sublime I clicked "Sublime Text" -> "Preferences" -> "Browse Packages". to open up the correct location to clone the repo in finder. If you click on the folder icon in the top bar of the resulting finder window you can actually drag this into iTerm2 so that you are in the proper location before running the git clone command included below.
git clone https://github.com/titoBouzout/SideBarEnhancements.git "SideBarEnhancements"
cd "SideBarEnhancements"
Finally, quit ST3 and reopen worked for me. Hope this helps.
I'm using Windows, so not sure if my solution is relevant to the exact question, but since I found this on Google, I figured it might just help somebody. My problem was specifically with the SideBarEnhancements plugin.
The dumb solution (try this first):
Close Sublime Text, go to the Packages directory (in Windows that's in %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3 (Win+R, paste that path, enter);
Rename SideBarEnhancements to something else and then back to its original name;
Reopen Sublime Text.
The nice solution (for Git Bash on Windows):
IF the dumb solution has not worked, there is no point in following on.
However, if it worked, you can automate the process.
Open %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\.bashrc, or in other words: User\.bashrc (create the file if you don't have it);
Paste the following at the end of the file (preferably on a new line):
touchme() {
echo 'Killing Sublime Text process..';
taskkill -IM "sublime_text.exe";
cd ~/AppData/Roaming/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages;
touch SideBarEnhancements;
echo 'SideBarEnhancements folder touched;';
echo 'Returning to original directory..';
cd -;
echo 'Reopening Sublime Text..';
"/L/Program Files/Sublime Text 3/sublime_text.exe"&
}
Change the path to your sublime_text.exe (last line of the function);
If Git Bash is opened, execute source ~/.bashrc and go to 6;
If Git Bash is not opened, open it and go to 6;
Execute touchme without any brackets;
In case you use the touchme command for something else, or simply don't like it, feel completely free to rename the function (I just found it the easiest to write and remember :P).
I guess the code above can be adapted for Unix systems, too, with some small tweaks.
I had this problem after reinstalling Sublime Text 2 and symlinking.
A workaround I found was binding the refresh_folder_list command with cmd+s, since that's usually when we see the sidebar updating.
For this to work you'll need to install run_multiple_commands plugin.
Then you'll have to update your User Keymap telling it to refresh folder list every time you save. The syntax is fairly simple.
I also ran across Synced Side Bar after fixing the issue. I am not sure if this is a solution but sounds promising.
Hope this helps.
I don't have a solution but a theory on why this is happening. I noticed as well recently that it stopped refreshing. I've also noticed that when I use the finder to open folders or use the 'open' within any program, the OS would just show an empty directory when I know there are files in it. I would then have to select a few different folders to get it to recognize that I'm asking it to show me the contents in the folder. It's almost like that function is asleep and I have to nudge it awake.
It seems Mavericks is using some strong sleep agent and turning off any functions behind the scene that's not needed and perhaps it's also affecting the sidebar refresh.
Same issue for me with ST2 on OSX 10.7.5. I started by opening Finder to the folder where I had the issue and navigated to that folder in terminal as well. Then:
Create a blank file and observe if Finder refreshed.
echo "" > test.txt
If Finder didn't refresh, navigate to the parent folder in both Finder and terminal. Repeat step 1.
If Finder did refresh, rename the child folder you came from to anything and then back to the original name.
mv folder_name new_folder_name
mv new_folder_name folder_name
Auto refresh in Finder started working again as well as the Sublime sidebar for that folder and all child folders.
I don't have an explanation as to why this issue started. Prior to this solution, I attempted the following trying to figure it out. I don't know if these steps were necessary in resolving this issue.
I removed .DS_Store files from the folders with this issue.
Remove the Finder preferences file and restart Finder. As described here.
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist ; killall Finder
Exit Dropbox
Thanks to #peresleguine for the suggestion of renaming the folder.
I had the same issue with folders and files not showing up. No matter what folders I added it wouldn't work, refreshing folders didn't work, if I restarted Sublime, I would then see the folders I added but none of it's contents. I ended up going to File -> Close Window and then File -> New Window, after that when I added folders to the new window, it started working again. Seems like it's a corruption in the project file somehow. Anyways hope this helps someone.
Mac OSX Mavericks
Sublime 3 Build 3059
If you're using OS X with python version higher than 2.7.1, try downgrading python to 2.7. This fixed multiple issues for me:
brew update
brew install pyenv
echo 'if which pyenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(pyenv init -)"; fi' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
pyenv install 2.7
pyenv global 2.7
# now restart ST3
One of the sub-folders of my project contained a symlink to the project itself, making a loop. As soon as I've removed it and re-opened the project, the problem went away. However, that symlink was necessary for my project to function, so I created a simple .sublime-project file:
{
"folders": [{
"path": "/",
"folder_exclude_patterns": ["symlink-or-one-of-its-parents"]
}]
}
The exclusion pattern made Sublime ignore the loop, and the sidebar went back to normal right away. Just note that folder_exclude_patterns accepts folder names, not paths. That means that it might exclude something you didn't want to exclude (i.e. if you write lib it'll exclude all lib folders in your project, regardless of where they are). Hope this helps somebody.
I had this issue after symlinking my project files to another partition on the hard disk. I fixed it by editing the path for each project from Project > Edit Project to the new location.
A bit late to the conversation, but I resolved this by turning off DropBox's Finder integration. There is a known issue with Yosemite 10.10.x
https://www.dropbox.com/help/7144
Click on the dropbox icon in your tool bar, click the gear and then open preferences. Un-check Enable Finder integration. Then restart your computer.
Hope that helps.
I just fixed this issue and I think the reason is because I use dropbox to sync my ST3 settings.
Somedays before I restarted with 'reopen windows when logging back in', and found sublime opened earlier than dropbox finished its initialisation, which caused some settings couldn't load properly.
The result was when I used subl . to open project, I found the side bar not working properly. At the first beginning, I just closed ST3 windows and re-run subl, but it didn't work.
Finally I quitted ST3 (cmd+q), and made sure dropbox was properly loaded, then subl again. This time it worked.
Hope it helps.

Installing Emacs Emulation keybindings -- Invalid VSIX package

I'm trying to install the extension for Visual Studio 2012 that allows emacs key-bindings.
I'm following through the steps here:
Emacs Keybindings in Visual Studio 2012 or 2013
I'm up to step 5:
Run the vsik file as administrator. This is required so the extension
can write Emacs.vsk into the program files folder. I wasn't sure the
best way to do this so I ran a command prompt as admin and then
executed start emacsemulations.vsik from the prompt.
So, running emacsemulations.vsix from an administrator command prompt,
I get the following error "This VSIX package is invalid because it does not contain the file extension.vsixmanifest at the root."
I'm not changing any of the file names inside the package.
I'm thinking this may have something to do with how windows zips up the file -- I'm able to recreate the problem simply by unzipping and rezipping the EmacsEmulation.vsix file without changing the contents of the vsix package.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix, or even better, the actual updated vsix file itself, I'd be very grateful!
The issue you have relies on the way you are zipping your file, what you should do is zip all files inside the folder you created (in this case, "EmacsEmulations") when you unzipped it.
Step into the EmacsEmulations folder.
Select all files.
Add to .zip
Rename the .zip output to EmacsEmulations.vsix
I'm trying to get this extension to work too, so good luck!

Where does Eclipse look for eclipse.ini under Linux

I've just been setting up a Ubuntu workstation and wanted to add some settings to eclipse.ini. When I searched for the file I found:
/etc/eclipse.ini
/usr/lib/eclipse.ini
My questions are:
Does Eclipse actually use both files?
If so, in what order does it read them?
How does it merge them?
Both of the files I found are system wide, is there a location in my home directory I could put one that would effect only my instances?
Here's how to determine which eclipse.ini file you should use (joomla.org):
If you downloaded Eclipse IDE manually from internet the "eclipse.ini" file is just inside the unpacked folder
If you installed Eclipse via terminal or software center the location of the file is "/etc/eclipse.ini"
In some Linux versions the file can be found at "/usr/share/eclipse/eclipse.ini". Do not use this file if you found a config file at "/etc/eclipse.ini".
To be sure where your Eclipse folder is, check $ECLIPSE_HOME, and if not specified (these directions at least work for Juno):
Open Eclipse as you normally do.
Click Help -> About Eclipse SDK
Click Installation Details
Go to the Configuration tab
Find "eclipse.home.location=file:PATH". PATH is where eclipse is installed.
sources:
http://docs.joomla.org/Configuring_Eclipse_IDE_for_PHP_development/Linux:
There is only one file.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Aug 8 2012 /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini -> /etc/eclipse.ini
You probably have already found this out, chances are when you installed Eclipse the installation created (or you did manually) a file /usr/bin/eclipse which if you check it probably looks like the following:
#!/bin/sh
export ECLIPSE_HOME="/opt/eclipse"
$ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse $*
especially if you followed instructions similar to the ones like these on If-not-true-then-false
On the other hand if you have installed from a package, I suspect you will find that eclipse ends up in /usr/bin, most likely a symbolic link to /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse (or at least I found it on my Fedora system after using yum to install eclipse).
I have Ubuntu 18 and eclipse installation is squashed in a file
/var/lib/snapd/snaps/eclipse_40.snap
which is mount on /snap/eclipse/40 as read only. Just run
mount | grep eclipse*.snap
This eclipse.ini file is really read only, that means, you cannot modify it, even with sudo. However, I also have a eclipse.ini.ignored file in HOME/.eclipse/some number/configuration. This is being by default ignored, but you can change the "launcher.ini" in the eclipse launcher command.
According to https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini
Eclipse startup is controlled by the options in
$ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse.ini. If $ECLIPSE_HOME is not defined, the
default eclipse.ini in your Eclipse installation directory (or in the
case of Mac, the Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS directory) is used.
The certain way to make sure is to run strace on eclipse. In the output you'll see where is eclipse actually trying to pull the file from.
