[M3devel] more info on ticket 1082 wrt start /wait

What if you just simply:

  "start http://localhost:whateverport" 

 

Personally I find cm3ide/reactor to be ..not great.

 

The behavior you are noticing is that the web browser might decide there is another adequate instance of it running and ask it to display something and exit.

 

You will likely find different behavior depending on if an instance of the browser is already running.

There might also be a command line option to control this.

But I think your best best is just not to use /wait.

Ok, I’ve done a bit more testing.
 
I don’t think the problem has to do with “START /WAIT …” but rather it seems to be a difference in Windows Internet Explorer.
 
When your browser is set to FIREFOX instead of IE, the “START /WAIT firefox.exe” command works fine, so you can keep the “return TRUE” in the CM3_IDE.cfg file.
 
But, when using IE8, the “START /WAIT iexplorer.exe” command does not wait for IE8 to terminate and returns immediately, thus the “return TRUE” in CM3_IDE.cfg must be changed to “return FALSE” to prevent immediate shutdown of CM3IDE.
 
If I go to a Windows 2000 box running IE6, the “START /WAIT” again seems to wait for IE to terminate.  I haven’t tested yet with IE7 to see if it behaves correctly or not.
 
So for now, folks may want to use FireFox instead of IE with CM3IDE.
