Instability issue #16
Comments
Which version of RoboFont are you using? Do you have the most recent version of Mechanic installed? Roughly how many extensions do you have installed? This is a known issue, but not one that I know the solution to. The easiest workaround right now to to uncheck the "Check for updates on startup" setting in the Mechanic controls. The caveat to this is that you will need to manually check for new updates. |
Sorry I forgot to add the output so I updated my question. I'm using Version 1.6 (built 1410152315). Ok I try to disable "Check for updates on startup". Let's see how it goes. Thanks! |
Strange, I haven't seen this issue previously. Let me see if I can reproduce it with the same build. |
I think that this should be resolved in the new version I just released. Can you give this a try and see if the same issue is occurring? |
Thanks, I experienced a crash with that option on after installing the new version even it said it's version 1.2.0 in the installation dialogue. Not sure if it was related to Mechanic but this happens rarely. Without that option it seems fine. I have to work with it for a day or two to make sure if turning the option off helps. I guess when the extension couldn't connect to server it halts or causes recursion or something that leads to crash. Crash happens suddenly under a second. |
BTW I got this in the python output: Traceback (most recent call last): |
Do you get the same output when after restart RoboFont? |
Yes. I just tested. |
I just pushed a fix for this as version 1.3.1. Sorry about that, I'm not sure why this worked on my end… it probably shouldn't have. |
It's okay :). I just installed and see what happens. Thanks! |
Ok after a day I can tell you definitely turning the "Check for updates on startup" makes a difference and prevents Robofont from crashing. Having the option on causes crash about every 30 minutes or so, not quite sure about the intervals. |
Can you please try installing version 1.3.2? https://github.com/jackjennings/Mechanic/archive/1.3.2.zip This version should report the correct version number on installation and solve the crashing issue even when "Check for updates on startup" is selected. |
Sorry for delay but the version 1.3.2 also crashes with that option on. I wish I could understand how it's working and help you to fix the error. |
It's been a while that I realized when I have the mechanic installed, Robofont crashes sometimes. I uninstalled it couple of times and checked back in a while to see if the issue has resolved but no dice. I also wanted to check updates on the extension and Robofont goes to a halt state. I guess the issue has started in the past two months. I was wondering if anyone else has same problem?
This is the output in Robofont:
