Xojo says "Build Failed" and dies without further message

I am trying to Run a project in Xojo, which used to run okay previously.

Currently observed behavior:

  • Clicking "Run", has Xojo display various messages, including "Done Assembling Code".
  • Then, "Build Failed" dialog box flashes briefly. So briefly, I cannot even grab a screenshot.
  • And then it disappears, and no diagnostic error/warning messages are given.

I am new to Xojo. The project used to build okay. Something must have changed. Is there a way to somehow see what the problem is? Right now it looks like the IDE keeps on working but the Run process just dies, after barely flashing "Build Failed" Dialog Box.

I will consider it a successful answer if it helps or aids me in the direction of solving this issue.

Solution

  • Turns out the Debug folder was locked by another process. Releasing the lock, restored Run operation.
