I’ve just completed the upgrade to MyEclipse 2025.1. Firstly MyEclipse failed to restart after the upgrade so I had to using the static installer and use the repair option as per previous topic. I’ve got back to my workspace and am trying to open a new Terminal+ window to run Angular CLI commands, but all I see is an empty window with no command line and no apparent way to enter commands.
Any ideas on what I might need to do to reactivate it, or how to find out why it’s not working?
ThanksAn update to this issue. It seems like something was configuring or installing in background when I first tried. I can now access Terminal+ BUT…
Whatever size the terminal+ window, there seems to be an inner window half the parents height and width. It can’t be scrolled either vertically or horizontally. So I need to maximise it to be able to type in commands as if any text in the inner window exceeds the bounds of the parent it is not accessible. So I’ll have to in effect run an Angular command then close the window and reopen to run the next command.
I’m running on Windows 11 if that has any impact.Jeremy,
First, sorry you ran into an update issue – it’s not a general problem but we have been seeing more reports of it recently and are actively investigating the issue. Did you have any additional plugins installed prior to the update? Additionally, do you happen to have any log files from the failed start post update?
The background task was possibly a download of a newer version of Node and/or npm.
I can’t say we’ve ever seen this, “window in window” problem you’re experiencing (even on Windows 11). If you just updated, can you confirm that the previous version of MyEclipse that you updated from did not exhibit this problem? Which version of MyEclipse were you using prior to this?
Could you also share exactly what Windows 11 version you’re on? You can find this from the system update history – look at the list of updates in the “Feature Updates” section like23H2or24H2.Can you try the following to see if they resolve the issue?
a) Resizing the view
b) Use Window > New Window and open the terminal in the new window
c) Try a new workspace
d) Beside the Terminal+ view, there is also a Terminal view. You can find this view at Window > Show View > Terminal > Terminal. If you choose to open a Git Bash terminal from this view’s menu, does that work without this UI problem?Thanks!
Hi Brian
Thanks for responding.
In answer to your questions:
No I’ve never seen this with any previous MyEclipse versions.
I was previously on a 24 version, I think I was up to date with any interim releases
My version of Windows 11 is 24H2
Resizing the window does not solve the problem – the inner window resizes, but still only occupies half the height and half the width
Same with opening a new window
I have another workspace with minimal content, just a very basic starter Angular app and this also has the same window within an Terminal window appearance.
I have the same issue if I open a git bash session via Terminal.
Does this help at all?Jeremy,
Thanks for the answers, they definitely help, but there’s no smoking gun as yet. I’m using exactly that version of Windows with no problems with my Terminal, so that can’t be the issue.
A couple of things to try:
1) What’s the output of running the following in your terminal+ right now?
git --version2) If you go to [user_home]/.webclipse is there a folder there named
git-bash? If yes, shut down MyEclipse and rename this folder to something else. Now start MyEclipse again. Open Terminal+ – does this make a difference? Even if not, what is the output ofgit --versionnow?Thanks!
Jeremy,
Another thing to check, if the above doesn’t work, can you see if the theme makes a difference?
Go to Preferences > General > Appearance and change to the Classic theme. Restart the IDE, does this work?
We’re working on a minor update to 2025.1, so if we’re able to reproduce this, I hope to able to get it fixed for this release. Thanks!
