biicode "ERROR: Unable to properly clean project DB:" or "ERROR: Unexpected Exception database is locked"

Question

I was playing with biicode, but I am facing this issue. I don't exactly know how I obtained that (I probably called the bii cpp:build command several time in parallel), but I want to fix my project :

bii cpp:build
INFO: Processing changes...
ERROR: Unexpected Exception
 database is locked
ERROR: Error executing command.
    Check the documentation in http://docs.biicode.com
    or ask in the forum http://forum.biicode.com

and when I try to clean stuffs I am obtaining that :

bii clean
ERROR: Unable to properly clean project DB:
database is locked

The project is really simple, nothing really tricky so I think it's not relevant to explain it. I did not find any relevant information on the doc neither in the forum. I did not find any process still building it (my ide, nor my terminal) Any idea to get it works ?

Many thanks for your answers !

PS : whouhou a biicode is now available :)

Answer 1

The problem is not the cache "bii.db" database located in .biicode, but your project one, which is located in:

yourproject/bii/.hive.db

You can safely delete it. After that, inside your project folder, do a init again:

 yourproject$ bii init

That will restore a clean database. I suggest running a clean build:

$ bii clean
$ bii cpp:build

Those databases are only caches to store temporary information. All the information required is in your block files: biicode.conf, CMakeLists.txt, so deleting those caches is not dangerous.

Answer 2

Sqlite database seems to be locked, try rebooting computer. If it doesn't work try to remove database file manually.

The file is in your home directory in the folder .biicode and its named bii.db If you are using linux/osx its on ~/.biicode/bii.bd

Hope it works!
