Recently upgraded to Service Fabric SDK v2.3.301, but for some reason my project got corrupted. I cannot debug the project, I get the following error: "A project with an Output Type of Class Library cannot be started."
It seems that the solution now fails to recognize the Service Fabric App. Yet I am able to deploy to my local cluster.
Anyone had similar issues while upgrading to the new SDK?
Thanks
PS Just in case, the service fabric app is the already set as startup project :o)
We have been using Service Fabric to develop a product for about a year with various versions of the SDK and I see this frequently. It happens both when hitting F5 with the SF Application as the sole startup project and even when right-clicking the SF Application and choosing "Debug -> Start New Instance".
Sometimes I have to try several times before it finally works. Other developers in our team see this as well, going all the way back to v2.0.
One thing that seems to make it happen less frequently is not touching anything on your computer after launching the project. Don't click anything else. Don't select another window. Let go of the mouse. Don't touch the keyboard.
Something I've started doing on the advice of a colleague is choosing "Debug -> Start Without Debugging", then attaching to the process if I want to debug it. I've had better luck with this approach in general - including not getting the "A project with an Output Type of Class Library cannot be started" issue.
I hope that helps.
I have had the same issue a couple of times. I have not been able to identify the source. But I have solved it with the following actions:
Close all Visual Studio windows.
Restart the Service Fabric service: Type services.msc in the windows run tool. Find Microsoft Service Fabric Host Service. Right Click + Restart.
Reset the local cluster: Look at the Service Fabric Local Cluster Manager Icon in the notification area in the right side of the task bar. Right Click + Reset Local Cluster.
Open the problematic solution in Visual Studio.
Clean and Rebuild solution.
Finally run your solution (press F5).
Hope this helps.
The error indicates that the service fabric application project (*.sfproj) is not set as start up project. Please try to change the start up project as some other project and again change it back to service fabric application project and see if that resolves the issue.

How can I restart an application in Eclipse through a socket call?
I built an error diagnosis app which can checks what code should be changed to handle the error, but after the change I have to restart the app again. I already have developed a plugin for Eclipse which would take care of this, but I am not sure on how to restart the app.
1.) Is there an internal Eclipse command to restart the app?
2.) Do I have to use a command shell (which I wouldn't prefer)?
Hope someone can help me or give me some guidance. Also I know that there is a possibility to restart an app for debugging, but I want to run the app without debugging.
If you mean you have an Eclipse 3.x style RCP application and you want to restart the RCP from an Eclipse plug-in then you just do:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().restart(true);
which restarts the RCP using the current workspace.
For an e4 RCP you do:
#Inject
IWorkbench workbench;
workbench.restart();
#greg-449: Thanks for your respond, but what I am trying to achieve is a bit more complex. Consider the following, I have a service that runs on another machine in my company network. It turned out something wrong is going with this service. So you can connect with with a remote debugger to the server and can check with the source code, that you have on your local machine, what is going on. I would say the classic Remote Debugging in Java.
But when you have fixed the error in the code you also have to restart the service on this other machine somewhere in the network. The question is how to do this? By a shell command which gives you the instances on this machine where the service is running or is there some other possibility?
Hope this helps more to understand the problem.
I have tried to upgrade to the ne version of the Service Fabric preview code - 1.4.87-preview - and everything seems to have gone ok, but when I try to deploy a service I get an exception on run telling me that it cannot find FabricRuntime.dll. This goes both for my upgraded project, for newly created test projects and for all samples.
I can see that the DLL is present on the machine and that a system PATH has been set to the directory containing it.
There seems to be nothing wrong with my applications per se, as they deploy fine to a Party Cluster.
Anybody have any idea what is going on. Everything worked fine when I ran the old Service Fabric install. I have tried uninstalling service fabric and installing again, but it didn't help.
The answer is now posted on MSDN forums at https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/azure/en-US/6c8cc261-6c84-4097-be03-e8073cbc9397/unable-to-load-dll-fabricruntimedll?forum=AzureServiceFabric&prof=required
Copy of answer from MSDN Forum:
This is happening because FabricRuntime.dll is looking for zip.dll that ships with Service Fabric runtime. However since JRE is ahead in the PATH list and it also ships with a zip.dll, FabricRuntime tries to load zip.dll from the JRE folder and fails. We have fixed this issue by renaming our DLLs. The fix will be available in the next update of the SDK. In the meanwhile, you can fix this by adding "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Service Fabric\bin\Fabric\Fabric.Code" as the first entry in the system path and then restarting the machine.
This is the SDK issue, I've opened a GitHub issue at here
I create One Windows services to scheduling SQL backup,
Its runs perfectly when i install it by visual studio command prompt, installutil services.exe,
Now i need to make it setup so, i can give this services to my client also,
I found http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816169 this link very userful
i create setup file, and it also install services,
but when i start services by right click on service,
it start perfectly in my PC but in other Pc its shows error
kindly help me to create setup file for services
I think you see that message when the service is started by the system but stops quickly without completing the protocol message/event exchange. Your service is starting and then just finishing, so you need to figure out what it's doing, even if it's just "On Exception go to end of program".
I have a simple app running on tomcat (using Postgresql). I deployed it to the Cloud-Foundry using the STS plugin and it runs OK. Recently I've encountered serious compilation problems (related to JS and JQuery) which led me to re install my STS. Now, when I run the app locally it runs perfect but when I use "Update & Restart" nothing happens - my new updates are not deployed! (I'm connected and Start/Stop works). I don't have a clue for how to tackle this. Please help.
Since you have reinstalled your STS, I would suggest you delete your app from Cloud Foundry and deploy your project from STS again. It might be because your project is not being linked with the app you have on cloudfoundry.com
Try that and let us know how it goes.
i have installed the glassfish eclipse tools bundle...
i can start a project like dynamic web & a ear project and deploy them on the glassfish... it works perfect & under the localhost url i will get an hello world
but how i do this if i want to make an application client. please help...
at the moment i simply created an "app client project in eclipse" & added it to the same ear,
but i have no idea how to start this...
help - any tutorial how to start?!!
Not the only only answer to this question but the appclient approach mentioned in Jeff's answer is a viable approach, but I was able to execute a client using this mechanism in eclipse and I wanted to share that approach.
This approach will let you execute a java application with a main method acting as a client.
What you want to do is setup an External Tools Configuration.
Create a new Program type of external tool configuration.
Set location to point to the path of the appclient, for me
(using embedded glassfish eclipse plugin) it was [PATH TO ECLIPSE]\plugins\oracle.eclipse.runtime.glassfish_3.1.1.0\glassfish3\glassfish\bin\appclient.bat
Set working directory to your output/build directory e.g.
${project_loc}/target/classes
Set arguments to ${java_type_name}
Select the class in your project with a main method that you wish to run as the client app and then select your external tool from the run external tools menu.
There are two ways to do it. I'm afraid I can't be very specific, but I can point you in the right direction. (I'm just learning myself)
You can enable Web Start for the application client EAR in GlassFish. You can do this either in the deployment descriptor (so it's enabled every time you deploy) or you can go into the GlassFish admin console, navigate to the Application, and check the checkbox to enable it. I have made a little progress on this approach.
You can run it manually from the command line using, I believe, the "appclient" command. I have not been able to get this working yet.
Good luck, and if you learn more, I'd appreciate it if you let me know since I'm in the same boat as you.
