Using plugin, I was able to repro this once. We need to modify and recompile the app then start debugging, you see this message and the debugger doesn't start, but if you try it again, it starts up fine.

We think this is the same as ~~FB-9874~~. Opened to MikeMo

Edited repro steps.

This is definitely related to ~~FB-9874~~, but is not the same bug.

Talked to Oliver; it turns out this is because ADL communicates with the target process via LocalConnection, but when Flex Builder forcibly kills adl, adl doesn't have chance to clean up the LocalConnection, so it still looks okay for a little while.

We will add an API to the debugger API to ask the process to terminate itself.

I have checked in a fix for the Flex side of this bug, in changelist 188473. Working on the AIR half of the fix.

AIR side is fixed locally; getting feedback from the AIR team.

I have now made the AIR side of the fix in addition to the Flex Builder side I had made previously.

**NOTE** QE will not be able to verify the fix until we integrate a later version of AIR. I don't know which version number of AIR it will be. It was flashfarm changelist 361988, made today (11/28/07). So I think the fix will be in build 112907ap.

Reassigning from Scott Dreier to Larry, for QE verification.

Assigning to me for verification - this did not make it in to the AIR SDK bundled with the 12/3 eng drop. I'll verify it in the next integration.

I can still reproduce this in b189844, which has SDK 189505 & AIR SDK 112907apms. I'm not sure if there may have been a branching or integration issue (See also: ~~FB-11091~~) or if this really isn't fixed in the code.

I believe the AIR fix went into the AIR mainline, and didn't make it into the M6 branch.

Confirmed fixed in b190030 (with AIR SDK 120307apms) - Win SA.

Closed too quickly - this did not make the branch and I just repro'ed it in 190133, resetting this to resolve & assigning to me to verify when we get the fix from the next mainline AIR SDK integration.

Rebecca Hauck - [12/20/07 05:45 PM ]

We now have the AIR fix in the SDK - verified fixed in b191606 - XP SA.
