Codekit hanging after each file compilation

[tenfef]

Hi, I rely on Codekit to compile JS and Less for a fairly large scale web app.
I've upgraded to Mavericks and it is now hanging for us after every script compile, and the only way to use it is to force quit and re-open Codekit to get it to work.

What can I send you to help debug what's going on?

First, make sure you don't have an infinite import loops in your code. That is, File A imports File B, which imports File A.

Second, reset the app by quitting it and then relaunching it while holding down the shift key. Continue to hold shift until the window appears.

After doing step 2 it now crashes on launch. :(

I need the crash report it's generating. If you click "Report", it should bring up a window that displays the full crash log. Copy and paste that into this thread.

I also tried deleting the app support files, and it still happens.

There was no crash report because it just dies on launch with no dialog.
But I dug this up from the console if it helps:

Similar issue for me. Would love a way to turn off the "Server" functionality of CodeKit, as I believe it's a contributing factor in this. I want to monitor my files for compiling, but I don't need CodeKit to act as a local server for testing / preview. Turning that functionality off and just having it act as a low-key file monitor and compiler would probably give me better performance and reduce the number of crashes / hangs.

Edit: Whoa, didn't notice how old this open issue was... Well, my comment stands. Ha.

This is an archived repo for CodeKit 1.x, which was discontinued over 5 years ago. Are you running CodeKit 3.9.2?

Sorry, @bdkjones – I noticed that after I posted, this was the repo that came up in Google when I was searching whether or not there was a way to turn off the server functionality of CodeKit. I was actually running 3.6.1 (just noticed it wasn't updating because of that dumb error when you migrate to a new machine and it thinks the app isn't in the Applications folder).

The latest version is less temperamental, but it still hangs on start / occasionally. It struggles with big projects. I think I'd still like the ability to turn off the web server to hopefully improve performance... Even though this isn't the right place to make a request, after all.

[bdkjones]

Turning off the server will have zero effect on performance. Hold down the Option key while launching CodeKit to perform a safe start.
