I have been using XMLMind for ages, with the XXE plugin used for RFC and Internet Draft
development. Suddenly (with in a month or two) it has developed a problem that it hasn't
had before: it won't open a .xml file that it would previously open. I know the
information is getting to the application because if I tell it (via the XML2RFC
"edit in" tab) to open the file it can't open using a text editor such as
TextWrangler, it opens it. Therefore, the file exists and is generally usable. But the
XML Editor won't open it, and gives me no diagnostic to say why.
Are you sure the plugin you are using (which is not our work and which
we have never tested) has been updated in order to make it compatible
with XMLmind XML Editor v8.3?
Things I have tried:
- open an existing file or template (the difference being that templates are
read-only)
- duplicate such a file and open that
- create a new file using an existing template
XMLmind XML Editor v8.3 has been thoroughly tested on latest (non-beta)
macOS Mojave. It's almost certainly an issue caused by an outdated plugin.
Any clues?
In principle you should contact the authors of the plugin to get some
answers.
However what follows is the generic answer to learn more about what happens:
1) Not 100% sure that this will work but it's worth giving it a try.
Let's suppose you have installed
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_download/xxe-perso-8_3_0.dmg
Please open a terminal and cd to XMLmind.app/Contents/MacOS/.
Start XXE using the shell-script called "xxe-mac.sh"
Opening a RFC in XXE will almost certainly print a lot of errors
messages (Java "stack traces") on the terminal. Please send us a copy of
all these error messages.
OR
2) Please download and unzip the ".zip" distribution of XMLmind XML
Editor v8.3,
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_download/xxe-perso-8_3_0.zip
then please open a terminal and start XXE using XXE_install_dir/bin/xxe.
This should work provided you have a Java 1.8+ runtime installed on you
computer.
