Hang during "Downloading index signature: library_index.json.sig" process #1483
Comments
Hi @racin44. Thanks for your report.
What do you mean by "freezing up"? Do you mean that it never completes no matter how long you wait, or do you mean that it takes longer than expected. If the latter, approximately how long is the duration of the "freeze"? When you open File > Preferences, do you have any URLs under the "Additional Boards Manager URLs" field? If yes, please provide those URLs so I can more closely reproduce your environment. |
It never finishes. Its at aprox 75% and just stays there for a long time.
Even after rebooting many times

When you open *File > Preferences*, do you have any URLs under the "*Additional
Boards Manager URLs*" field? If yes, please provide those URLs so I can
more closely reproduce your environment.

I tried that and this is what i get in powershell....

Please do this:
1. Start Windows "*File Explorer*".
2. Open the Arduino IDE installation folder
(usually C:\Program Files\Arduino IDE or C:\Users\<user
name>\AppData\Local\Programs\Arduino IDE).
3. In the folder listing of the Arduino IDE installation folder, hold
the *Shift* key while clicking the right hand button on the mouse.
4. From the context menu, click "*Open PowerShell window here*".
PowerShell will now open with the current directory set to the Arduino
IDE installation folder.
5. Type the following command:
& ".\Arduino IDE"
6. Press the *Enter* key.
Debug output should now be printed to the PowerShell window as the
Arduino IDE starts.
7. Wait for the Arduino IDE to get into the frozen download state.
8. Switch back to the PowerShell window if the Arduino IDE window took
the focus.
9. Right click on the title bar of the PowerShell window.
This will open a context menu.
10. Select *Edit > Select All* from the context menu.
This will select all the text in the PowerShell window.
11. Press *Ctrl+C*.
This will copy the contents of the PowerShell window to the clipboard.
12. Paste (*Ctrl+V*) the output in a reply to this GitHub issue thread.

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems while following

Make sure you run that command from the folder that contains the file |
I am. I keep getting that error. |
OK, let's try something else:

I have this same problem. The ui hangs and doesn't acept input(mouse clicks). I don't think its the download stalling the ui. Further tsks seem to be started after.
|
Thanks for the information @hugehaggis
Is this limited to one specific part of the Arduino IDE UI, or is every component of the UI (e.g., menus, toolbar, editor) completely unresponsive? |
Ui totaly unresponsive. Have to use task manager to close it

Same for me, although a workaround I keep on doing to prevent this bug is to Run Arduino IDE in offline mode by temporarily disabling the internet, and then turn it on back once the IDE finishes loading everything up.
I hope this helps: |

Actually, I have been encountering this bug for a month now since the release of Beta RC9.0 . To avoid the bug:
|
Upgraded Arduino IDE today. Same problem. If you close the IDE while its choking trying to download that library, and reopen the IDE, you will then find that the serial port is locked. That is not good. I am rolling back to an older version of Arduino IDE as this is not acceptable |
I have a solution, at least, on my machine.
I have unplugged, replugged the Uno, shut down the PC, rebooted, restarted Arduino IDE and the problem is gone. |
I did that, and it worked - a very big nuisance however |
I rebooted again, and let it sit for about 2-3 minutes, and this time, it seemed to complete with no message. Only thing I did in between was update my Topping D10s driver (was looking for any driver updates that were possible - in case it was a USB issue as stated above as well) |
I just want to confirm that I never saw this issue since on my machine again, and I have been doing a LOT of Arduino dev. |
I'm getting a very similar issue with Windows 10. IDE details below (from Help/About) Version: 2.0.0 Every time I start the IDE I get the message "Downloading index signature: library_index.json.sig". |
The Arduino IDE will no longer update the index on every restart. It now only does it if it has been more than 4 hours since the last update: #1418 That enhancement was made after the release of the 2.0.0 version you are using. It is currently only available from the nightly builds. If you would like to give it a try, the nightly build download links are listed here: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software#nightly-builds
Please provide a detailed description of what you mean by this. If you click the "Verify" button in the Arduino IDE, does the button turn yellow? |
The compile or upload button turns yellow, but the progress bar is stuck(compiling sketch...). I Even tried leaving it for 3 hours just to compile or upload a basic blink sketch to any microcontrollers but it is literally stuck. Restarting the IDE with no internet connection fixes the problem, maybe the devs need to implement a feature that can optionally run arduino IDE in Offline Mode |
I have the same problem:
I waited a lo my Windows PowerShell text is:

I had similar issue. After downloading portable version Arduino 2.3.3-nightly-xxx for Windows and running Arduino IDE.exe got endless twinking arduino picture on empty window. Then I start it through the terminal to see debug. There was an error says that it cannot find ../library_index.json. I just copied the link https://downloads.arduino.cc/libraries/library_index.tar.bz2, downloaded by a browser and put files inside C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Arduino15\ it it worked. Now Arduino IDE starts. |
This solution was the fix that worked for me. The moment I dropped those two files from the download in the Arduino15 folder the hang was gone. Thanks @tehniksit |
I just installed 2.0.0 and Downloading index signature: library_index.json.sig keeps freezing up and often stalls my compiling\uploading. I have tried deleting arduino15 folder many times. It lets me upload once, then, next time i open arduino 2.0.0 it stalls the download again. I cant use older versions to upload my sketch for some reason.
