Pythonista 3.4 crashing when trying to run stash

[felciano]

Pythonista 3.4 on iOS 17.0.3 has started to crash when I run Stash. I have tried:

1. Deleting Stash from Pythonista (the launch_stash.py script, the stash_extensions folder under "This iPhone", and the stash folder under site-packages (user)), restarting Pythonista, and re-installing Stash.
2. Deleting Pythonista itself, and re-installing it from the app store.
3. Doing a hard reset of the iPhone.

Any suggestions on how to debug this further?

@felciano try to update stash via command

url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ywangd/stash/dev/getstash.py'; import requests as r; exec(r.get(url).text.replace('master', 'dev'))

On my iPad, no crash on Pythonista V3.4 under IOS 17.0.3

@cvp @felciano I'm running iPadOS 17.0.3 on an iPad Pro 3rd Gen. Here are the steps I took:

• Install Pythonista, so now running v3.4.
• Reboot
• Run Pythonista
• Install Stash as per official github page:

import requests as r
exec(r.get('https://bit.ly/get-stash').content)

• Reboot
• Run Pythonista
• Load launch_stash.py and run

Any other ideas?

@robot1125 could you check in _objc_exception.txt file in Pythonista root which is the eventual crash reason

@cvp Ah, now I know where the log files are. Here is the error:

"Modifications to the layout engine must not be performed from a background thread after it has been accessed from the main thread."

A few google searches didn't turn up anything that looked like a match to me. To be clear, I'm just opening launch_stash.py in Pythonista and then hitting the run button, which I assume is correct.

Lastly, thank you so much for replying. From personal experience I know helping people on forums can end up in a blackhole of crazy, so I appreciate it.

PS: I just found this post which looks relevant. A possible bug in the Pythonista UI?

@robot1125 New bug, I guess

On my iPad, I get sometimes the same bug and if I restart Pythonista and rerun the script, it works. Don't ask me why. 😢

This file is generated by standard Pythonista for ObjectiveC errors, not Python ones.

There is a modulefaulthandler, written by @dgelessus for Python errors. That could also help you for some bugs/crashes
