Live never stops showing that it's scanning Surge VST3

Pretty weird one. No matter how long you wait this message never disappears. Not sure if it prevents scanning other plugins that come alphabetically after Surge, it might.

OK so this doesn't happen for me on macOS with live 11.2
which means it will be painful to debug and won't get fixed this morning

Is there anything I can printf() somewhere to debug this, or a line to put a breakpoint to?

[baconpaul]

yes
but i don't know what :)

My guess is: Is it getting to the end of the SurgeSynthesizer constructor or not?

If I was debugging it I would also do the following

in src/surge-xt/SurgeSynthProcessor.cpp add a little thing like this

struct DebugPrints
{
   std::string f;
    DebugPrint(const std::string &s) : f(s) { std::cout << "Entered " << f << std::endl; }
    ~DebugPrint() { std::cout << "Exited " << f << std::endl; }
};

then for each of the juce functions (like isBusSupported and process getParamCount and things) add at the top of the function

DebugPrints dpXXX(__func__);

and it will print when it enters and exits every function. That's where I would start.

OK it seems this is not our issue. I removed Surge VST3 from the folder and it got stuck on another plugin. This is with Live 11.2.6 here. I guess it's something to report to them. Closing this issue.
