The command failed / still busy error

[ynmehel]

I am having "the command "Format Current Document" still busy / failed" errors on XCode when I select the command under Editor menu. If the error is `busy, the command is greyed out and does not turn back into the enabled state.

Hey @ynmehel can you give us more information to reproduce (Xcode, macOS version)? If possible, can you also share a .m or .h file that causes Uncrustifier to hang?

[ynmehel]

Thanks for the swift response, unfortunately I cannot share the code because of business reasons. I will try with other source code and share that, if I can reproduce.

XCode Version 8.1 (8B62)
OS X Version 10.11.6 (15G31)

Here is a file from a personal project, where I can reproduce. It gives me "The command is still busy" error and disables the menu item

FTCPhotoDetailViewController.m.zip

Update: The document gets locked for editing during this "busy" phase. The (x) button on the right side of the error unlocks back the editor but the menu item "Format Current Document" remains disabled.

I'm unable to reproduce on 10.11.5 with Xcode 8.1 😞 (so maybe there is something else going on)

I am on Xcode 8.2.1 and macOS 10.12.2 and I am getting the same error.

Perhaps I am missing something?

I have this also from time to time but only on very big files (6k+ lines)

• Xcode 8.2.1
• macOS 10.12.2

Facing the same issue on large objective-c files.

same here.
When I did debugging, I found the code stop here

if let data = stdin.data(using: .utf8) {
            stdinHandle.write(data)
            stdinHandle.closeFile() // never come to this breakpoint if the file is quite large
}

I have the same error with even single line files
