voxelshop doesn't start

[glass-88]

Whenever trying to start voxelshop, it shows the starting splash screen and then disappears and voxelshop doesn't start.
I have the latest updates of java, too. This was an issue before but then i updated java and it worked fine for a week or two but now it doesn't work. No voxelshop updates or java updates were released during that time frame.

I'm pretty sure this has to do with the config file being corrupt. Can you find your ".voxelshop" folder and delete all setting files in there and see if it works? - If this is the case I really need to fix that bug. Urg...

I found it, deleted the settings folder and it still does the same thing as before.

Now this is getting interesting. Are there any logs in the voxelshop folder that would indicate an error? Can you check in your task manager if voxelshop starts and runs in the background without displaying?

No crash logs and it doesn't show up in my task manager. This is really weird. It was working fine for me a month ago... I've deleted all traces of voxelshop on my computer and then re installed it and again there was no difference

Can you try the native installer for the old version? It doesn't have all the new features and is slower. But curious if it works.

i tried 1.8.18, still the same issue 🤔

[simlu]

Can you please try the native installer here?

[glass-88]

Yup, it works fine haha... I don't know why

[simlu]

Which OS are you on? And where did you locate the settings file?

Can you do the following steps please: (1) restart computer (2) delete settings file (3) start voxelshop

Hi @simlu I’m on macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 it doesn’t start. The starting screen appears but it crashes. It then creates a errorlog.txt file.

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MethodInvokingFactoryBean#1' defined in class path resource [com/vitco/app/glue/config.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/java/swing/plaf/windows/

[simlu]

Have you tried deleting your config file?

[mePy2]

Not yet.

Edit:
I extracted the content of the .jar file. removed config.xml from glue folder and made the jar file again. Doesn’t work. @simlu
