I'm seeing TWS hanging on "starting application..." for the last couple of hours even after a restart. Anyone else seeing this? https://www.interactivebrokers.ca/en/index.php?f=2225
In the past, I occasionally had problems with the auto-update installer hanging on startup, and preventing TWS from loading. I work around it by only using the standalone versions now.
Thanks, I'm using the standalone version. Strange thing is that paper trading logs on fine. I looked into the log files and it looks like there is a bug in TWS for some reason. I get this message: "should not be synced on global application lock" Looked to me like a GUI thing so I figured gateway might work... And it did. I guess that's OK for now.
Figured it out: I rebuilt docker images but the version number for one of the images was loose. One of the GUI packages got upgraded out from under me and caused a bug to manifest in TWS. Hard-coding the digest in the dockerfile fixed the issue.
