Adding Language ID afterward - Keyman developer crashes at startup after changing kps

Keyman Keyman How To
1

When I first created the keyboard project, I forget to enter the Language ID.
I wanted to add it afterward and changed the kps file to paste the line Kru languages from a working keyboard.
But since then Keyman Developer (15.0.270) crashes each time it starts with the following error (even if I remove the added line in the kps file)
Details for error report for Keyman app:
Application Identifier: tike-15.0.270
Error Identifier: 551169424FA946EDAE3E9ACF9D25CEC7
How could I solve this (reinstalling Keyman Developer does not help)? Thanks

You may not have “pasted” all the important opening and closing lines…like:

      <Languages>
        <Language ID="xxx">LangName</Language>
      </Languages>

Maybe you should delete the line you pasted in and then add the language through the Keyman developer UI. That is a much safer method to do it. Do it by going into Keyman Developer project, open the .kps file and go to the “Keyboards” tab to add the language.

Thanks, Lorna,
I indeed had a typo in the xml tag.
Now the issue is solved

Thank you for reporting this. I’m tracking the crash report at https://github.com/keymanapp/keyman/issues/7368. It’s very impolite of Keyman Developer to crash and I’m sorry it did so. We’ll get it fixed.

A fix is in the pipeline for this crash; we’ll make it available in Keyman Developer 16. Indications are that it is relatively rare so we probably won’t back-port it to Keyman Developer 15.
