Brackets won't resume with corrupted state.json

[mubaidr]

Steps to reproduce:
Open a solution/project.
Close brackets
Start brackets

Expected:
Brackets will have opened last project.

Actual:
Brackets open the default project.

Is this a bug or this is not implemented yet?

@mubaidr Are you on Linux? It should work on Mac and Windows. If not, then which version of Brackets?

[mubaidr]

Oops, sorry. Forgot to mention that i am on Windows and using Brackets Sprint 38

Is there anyway to debug why this is happening?

[mubaidr]

Issue fixed. state.json was corrupted. Deleted it, now everything works fine.

@dangoor Even though state.json isn't supposed to be hand-edited, I wonder if we should have a user-visible error message when it's corrupt anyway, similar to the UI we already show for user-scope prefs?

[mubaidr]

I don't think any preferences are required.
-Just check if state.json is OK when brackets load
-if it is not; show a warning to user and reset it to default state
-restart brackets

[peterflynn]

Yes, that's what I was referring to.

[dangoor]

Yes, I think it makes sense to display the same sort of dialog for state.json on the chance that someone hand-edited state.json. I'm reopening this issue with an updated subject.

I'm calling this low priority, since this should not be a common occurrence.
