SWTException prevents Getting Started tab from populating --------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBDS-4571 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-4571 Project: Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio (devstudio) Issue Type: Bug Components: central, central-update, upstream Affects Versions: 11.0.0.GA Environment: Fedora 26 x86_64 webkitgtk4-2.16.6-1.fc26.x86_64 devstudio-11.0.0.GA-installer-standalone.jar openjdk version "1.8.0_144" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode) Reporter: Roland Grunberg Assignee: Nick Boldt Fix For: 11.x # Using the Devstudio installer ($ java -jar /notnfs/Downloads/devstudio-11.0.0.GA-installer-standalone.jar), I installed in '/notnfs/devstudio' (not in a home folder), with the default system JVM. # On startup (can be from the install, or separately), create a workspace in $HOME/workspace-devstudio. # Red Hat Central view loads, with the 'Do Not Enter' icon and the text 'An exception was raised in Javascript'. Clicking on the 'Details >>' button shows the full stacktrace, and it is not logged into the Error Log view. Note that switching to the Software/Update tab gets the Red Hat Central view to become populated with the correct content so the issue seems isolated to the 'Getting Started' tab. https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/Y5jrMNBt86LoEAsqIGykTg The relevant part seems to be : org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: An exception was raised in JavaScript at org.eclipse.swt.browser.WebKit$Webkit2JavascriptEvaluator.evaluate(WebKit.java:1273) at org.eclipse.swt.browser.WebKit.evaluate(WebKit.java:1324) at org.eclipse.swt.browser.WebBrowser.evaluate(WebBrowser.java:409) at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser.evaluate(Browser.java:663) at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser.evaluate(Browser.java:610) at org.jboss.tools.central.internal.browser.VersionedBrowser.<init>(VersionedBrowser.java:51) at org.jboss.tools.central.editors.GettingStartedHtmlPage.createBrowserSection(GettingStartedHtmlPage.java:188) at org.jboss.tools.central.editors.GettingStartedHtmlPage.createFormContent(GettingStartedHtmlPage.java:175)
