Opening some OPIs in OPI editor throws a Malformed URL Exception
This might happen if you recently pulled or changed branches in the GUI repository . A reason this can happen is that your workspace and file system are out of sync. You can fix this by collapsing the workspace, then deleting everything under uk.ac.stfc.isis.ibex.opis (but do NOT delete contents on disk!), and then reimporting everything again from base/uk.ac.stfc.isis.ibex.opis.
CSS components won't start (IDE, Block Archiver, Inst Archiver, Alarm server)
Ensure Java 8 is NOT installed on the system. If java 8 is installed, uninstall it and reboot. A java 8 installation will prevent CSS components from starting correctly, as they will detect this and attempt to use it, but they are incompatible with java 8 and require java 11+.
For the IDE:
- Symptom is either a hang at IDE startup (on splash screen, loading bar will never display) or an immediate pop-up saying java 8 is being used and is incompatible.
- Make sure java 8 (or any earlier java) is not installed on system and you have the current recommended IBEX java version installed.
- restart your machine
