Failed to connect to the simulator on Windows

winder1987 over 4 years ago

Hi all,

I am a bit confused. I got a new Laptop (Windows 10 pro, x64) and installed the latest eclipse version (2019-03) and everything worked fine.

A week (or two) later I changed something in my connect IQ code (now SDK 3.0.12 but same issue for 3.0.11, 3.0.10 and 3.0.3) and tried to start the app in the simulator and got the message "Failed to connect to the simulator" in eclipse. I did not found any error log or anything else where I maybe can find what went wrong.

Can somebody help me?

Kind regards
Winder

Yes, and there it worked...

In the meantime, I found the error... I had another service on exact the same port (1234). So eclipse tried to connect to that second service and of course this couldnt work…

Have you tried running the simulator in safe mode?

Yes, and there it worked...

In the meantime, I found the error... I had another service on exact the same port (1234). So eclipse tried to connect to that second service and of course this couldnt work... When i stopped the service, the simulator works fine... So, again, my fault... Sorry

Uninstalling avast and properly shotdowning Windows (hold shift while clicking showdown) helped in my case.
