Bug #52851	Cannot open saved file
Submitted:	15 Apr 2010 8:05	Modified:	16 Apr 2010 12:31
Reporter:	wouter vk	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Workbench	Severity:	S1 (Critical)
Version:	5.2.18	OS:	Windows (7 Professional x64, XP SP3 32-bit)
Assigned to:	Mike Lischke	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
When I try to open a saved file from within Workbench I get the following message:

"error executing plugin wb.file.openModel: Internal error: wait box creation must be done on the main thread"

When I try to open the file from withing windows explorer Workbench will crash.

Tried opening files create by myself on this computer and created on another computer.

This computer is in a domain, my other computer (also Win 7 x64) is not and Workbench works fine on that one. I also had a previous version of Workbench installed on this PC but I uninstalled that version before installing the 5.2.18 version.

How to repeat:
Open a file from within Workbench of from Windows Explorer.

Windows error

Attachment: error.png (image/png, text), 8.93 KiB.

Workbench error

Attachment: main.png (image/png, text), 56.41 KiB.

Same for me (Win XP/SP3).  A simple model with 2 (structurally) empty tables will do.

simple crashing model file

Attachment: pl.mwb (application/octet-stream, text), 4.37 KiB.

could you maybe try with zip package of Workbench? i cannot repeat on my systems (win7, xp)

I'm having this issue as well and just tried it with the zip file, no luck. (Windows XP 64bit)

I have the same issue.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it still comes up.

For those trying to fix the problem, here is how it started for me:

I had an error in a model.  When I tried to open it, I got the error outline and an OK button to confirm.

BUT that window popped up BEHIND the screen that says it's Opening the Model-Please wait.

I couldn't click OK and it just sat there for more than an hour. So I quit out of WorkBench.

After that, I got the Wait error.

So it's like the system is hung up somewhere waiting for a response I couldn't give.

Hope that helps.

For what it's worth:

I can't open the files using Workbench's FILE menu.

BUT the files open just fine when I use 'Open Existing EER Model' from the middle of the Workbench Home screen.

Hope that helps.

"BUT the files open just fine when I use 'Open Existing EER Model' from the middle of the
Workbench Home screen."

Yes confirmed this works!
Also tried the zip package but no luck.

Verified by opening that pl.mwb file uploaded on 32-bit XP SP3. Just double click on URL in this bug report and agree to open file with Workbench 5.2.18.

Fixed in repository

fix confirmed in repository

An entry has been added to the 5.2.19 changelog:

When trying to open a saved model file, MySQL Workbench generated the following error:

error executing plugin wb.file.openModel: Internal error: wait box creation must be done on the main thread

I am glad this bug was solved in 5.2.19.
I had been reporting it also.
Great work!
