After updating through the update mechanism, editing html angular templates no longer worked properly. When I edit a file, Ctl- accelerators like find, save, etc, no long do anything, and if I try to Ctl-v paste, it often pastes into a different editor than is visually activated.

I originally installed through NPM, and tried removing my old installation and re-doing the npm install, ngide install… sequence, but the behavior is the same.

Not sure what to do next, but it’s putting a major blocker into being able to work on this, so having to drop back to VSCode for now. Any help or suggestions would be great.

Matthew,

Those issues sound terrible – we can’t think of anything we’ve changed that would cause this behaviour, but hope we’ll be able to get this sorted out soon.

1) Sanity check: Go to Windows > Preferences > General > Keys. Does the keybinding scheme say “Default” or “Emacs”? It should typically be Default – with Emacs, Ctrl + S is unbound and does nothing. You could also try typing “Ctrl + S” into the filter field on this page and see what command shows up in the table.

2) Do the Ctrl keybindings fail 100% of the time? For instance, does Ctrl + S always do nothing, or does it work sometimes? Do other bindings work? For instance, does Alt + F bring up the file menu? (assuming you’re on Windows)

3) What editors have you reproduced the problem in? Is it problematic in only the TypeScript and say HTML editors, or does it fail in all editors? Does it occur in files across several projects?
To test, can you try creating a simple text file in your project, editing some text and then hitting Ctrl + S – does that work?

4) Can you try switching to a new workspace and see if you can reproduce the problem there in a dummy project? Use File > Switch Workspace > Other and specify a new directory to switch to a new Workspace. Create a new project here and try to reproduce the problem, you can them import your existing project and see if that works.

5) Is this your first Angular IDE update? The current release you’re on is 2017 CI 4 (1.7.3), for roughly how long were you using Angular IDE prior to this?

6) What OS are you on? Can you send us the .log file from the workspace which fails? You can find this file at /.metadata/.log (note the periods at the start of the folder and file names).

Hope we’re able to get you back up and running soon!

1) I’ve checked the key-combos in the settings, and they appear to be right.

2) Weirdly, Ctl-Shft-s works, but Ctl-s doesn’t. There are a number of other things that don’t, though I’m not sure I could catalog easily the full set. It seems like each combination either does or doesn’t work, it’s not intermittent.

3) It doesn’t happen at all in the TypeScript editor. That seems to be have normally. The weird thing is if I have a component.ts and its .html file open, and I switch from the .ts to the .html, then do Ctl-v to paste some code, it’ll get pasted in the .ts file, so if I then save all, it’ll break that.

4) I’ll have to keep digging, but can’t afford too much time messing with it. I’ll try creating a new workspace tonight.

5) I think it might be the first time I’ve updated, or at least the first time since purchasing the license. I’ve been using it for at least a month.

6) Windows 8, unfortunately. Log attached.

Thanks for the details! As we continue to dig into this, would it be possible to just try one small change for us to see if you can continue working and the editor issues go away? We added in a check using a semver library that is used to check if the Angular CLI version is 1.0.0 or an earlier beta — that library seems to be failing on a ^1.0.0 specification.

Mind checking if either of locations has ^1.0.0, and if you find it, update it to be 1.0.0 on it’s own?

.angular-cli.json > project > version
package.json > devDependencies > @angular/cli

Thanks kindly!

Hi,
i experienced a similar issue yesterday. My project was in angular 2, I did the upgrade manually to Angular 4 then I upgraded AngularIDE.
I wasn’t able to open HTML and also TS files… and in case of already opened files, it was the same problem (the save action was impossible,…). I saw in the error log a recurring error that I attached

I tried to create a new project which took several minutes but at least I had a recent to compare if something was wrong with my existing project. Then I removed the broken one and tried to import it but Angular IDE told me that my .angular-cli.json was missing or incorrect (dont remember the exact message). So, the last solution (because I’m used to this issue with Eclipse :D) I removed the .project file and the .settings directory. I also changed the version of @angular/cli in package.json (^1.0.0 => 1.0.0).
The import worked and everything is up and running again !

Not sure about the .project/.settings removal but thanks @timwebb for the input about the angular CLI version trick.

Hi,
thanks for the fix, I rollbacked my package.json and everything is working great.

[Matthew Pangaro]

Yeah, I was able to do the update and reset my json to ^1.0.0 and it all appears to be working properly again.

Thanks!
