My Appcelerator Studio suddenly just crashed and can't open or use it anymore. I tried UNINSTALLING and REINSTALLING it, but with no luck.

Any thoughts about this? Please check the Crash error report here

can you please add the ti info output. Looks more like a Node problem (e.g. wrong version) - miga
@miga, I cannot use CLI on this, it always gives me that error above. The correct answer is already posted by Kondal. - ramonthegreat

Looks like there is an incompatibility between your CLI version and Node version.

What's the node and CLI version which you are running now?

Node 4.2 and higher is required to run the latest Studio 4.8.0/CLI 6.0/SDK 6.0. Ideally, Studio Mac installer would have taken care of this but it didn't happen in your case.

To make it work in your case, follow the instructions from here for clean installation of Node and CLI, then run the studio.

I had a similar error with Appc 7.1.2 -- here's what I learned.

The specific error occurs at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appcelerator/lib/util.js:720

For other Appcelerator versions, the line number within util.js may be different.

I opened util.js in an editor and added a line to figure out what's going on:

console.log(cf);

Now I could see which config file it was attempting to read, which in my case turned out to be:

~/.appcelerator/appc-cli.json

This .json file was empty. Upon deleting this file, the error went away.

Now run appc setup and enter your credentials and answer the other prompts, and that will re-create and re-write appc-cli.json.
