Plugin isn't working anymore

[sascha-wolf]

Can't say exactly when it stopped working, but I'm unable to execute any command the plugin offers.

Im currently using Sublime Text 3 (Build 3065) on Windows 64bit Enterprise.

Regardless of the command, the error is the same:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\Programme\Sublime Text 3\sublime_plugin.py", line 524, in run_
    return self.run(**args)

Any suggestion?

Can you please paste your Packages/User/FileHistory.json file somewhere?

@jbjornson, we'd want to add some error handling there.

Seems like the file got broken somehow. I used a beautifier and it just ended in the middle of nowhere, which obviously leaved the JSON invalid.

I'll have to post the minified version here, since I currently have no way of providing you a pastebin link or something similar. I'm at work and we have a pretty aggressive proxy.

(I obfuscated the file paths)

Replacing the content with {} lead, as expected, to a functional state of the plugin.

It appears the file has been cut off (or: not entirely written to), which is indeed very weird.

I'll just fix this myself quickly. I mean, I'll put in fallback code that will start with an empty history if reading fails.

[FichteFoll]

@jbjornson, I checked and revised your more or less recent commits on the dev branch and fixed this bug as well. I didn't test extensively though.

Please do some checking if you can, then I'll release 1.6.0 with the changes.

[jbjornson]

I made a couple small enhancements to your code but otherwise it looks good so far. I'll continue to test over the next few days.

One thought I had regarding the corrupted history file: it might be interesting to make a backup of the history file every so often. We could define the number of backups to include and how often to make a backup (daily, weekly, monthly). I guess the difficulty here would be making sure the backup check is quick and simple and doesn't slow down the perceived performance.

[jbjornson]

@zeeker You said your history file got borked after you ran it through a beautifier. Not sure if you're aware, but your history file will automativally be stored with formatting if you set the "prettify_history" setting to True.

[FichteFoll]

I think he was referring to the beautifier choking on the borked file.

[jbjornson]

Ah, ok. Never mind then.

[sascha-wolf]

Actualy I just was using the beautifier so I would be able to take an easier look at the file and then I realised it was borked. But it was borked before, I checked that. Probably shouldn't have mentioned it, wasn't relevant in the context.

But thanks for the headsup on the setting.

[jbjornson]

It's difficult to imagine how your history file became corrupted in the first place so this issue is a bit difficult to solve. @FichteFoll has added some code to more gracefully handle a corrupt file or a reading error. I've added some code to keep daily backups of the history file so someone could manually revert to a previous version of their history if it becomes corrupted.

[FichteFoll]

dev branch is looking good to me, so I will release 1.6.0 later today.

[jbjornson]

I prepared the dev branch for the 1.6.0 release so feel free whenever.
