No Java Flight Recordings when started with GetDown about getdown HOT 6 CLOSED

Can you include the part of your getdown.txt that sets the jvmargs?

Also, Getdown generates a launcher.log (in the app directory) which will tell you exactly what arguments it's passing to the JVM when it launches your app, so you can look at that to see if something looks amiss.

I modified my first post with the requested info.

Those backslashes are preventing the %ENV.USERNAME% blocks from working. In the launcher.log you should not see %ENV.USERNAME% you should see the actual environment variables that were substituted.

For example, if I add this to the Getdown testapp:

jvmarg = -Dusername=%ENV.USER%

When I look at launcher.log I see my actual USER env variable:

2016/03/23 09:11:01:988 INFO n.a: Running /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_73.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/bin/java
  -classpath
  /Users/mdb/projects/getdown/testapp/target/testapp/testapp-jar-with-dependencies.jar
  -Xdock:icon=/Users/mdb/projects/getdown/testapp/target/testapp/../desktop.icns
  -Xdock:name=Getdown Test App
  -Dcom.threerings.getdown=true
  -Dusername=mdb
  com.threerings.testapp.TestApp
  /Users/mdb/projects/getdown/testapp/target/testapp

from getdown.

Oh, actually it's probably not the backslashes. I just tried that, and it still did the substitution:

jvmarg = -Dusername=\%ENV.USER%

yielded:

  -Dusername=\mdb

So you must just not actually be using the new code.

I'm using the new code. The problem is not the substitution of the ENV parameters.
When I start my app with getdown, it creates a folder like c:\data\app\mystyxmac. The recording files also gets created, but when I try to open it in Mission Control, I get the message that there are no recording events.
When I start my app without getdown, there are recording events.

I don't know. Getdown reports in launcher.log the EXACT command line that it is running. So if you run that exact same command and get different behavior, then something outside of Getdown's control is going awry.
