Opening chrome's task manager (shortcut : Shift-Escape), a pop-up appears stating :

Module aw-watcher-window quit unexpectedly [Restart] [Show details] [Cancel]

Details are

2017-11-21 17:12:57 [INFO ]: Running watcher with poll time 1.0 seconds  (aw_watcher_window.main:35)
2017-11-21 17:12:57 [INFO ]: aw-watcher-window has started  (aw_watcher_window.main:44)

2017-11-21 18:10:56 [ERROR]: Exception thrown while trying to get active window: [Errno 5] Input/output error  (aw_watcher_window.main:69)

Pressing "restarting" in the notification popup only makes it crash again (with the same details), for so long as the active window is chrome's task manager. If I restart the watcher with an other window being active, it restarts fine and is stable. And crashes right again as soon as the task manager becomes active again (as my mouse goes over
it, as focus follows mouse in my awesome wm).

Oh, that's not good at all.

I seem to not be able to reproduce though, not sure why.

I am currently on my debian machine though, can try on my arch linux machine later today (you are also

It's odd that it crashes though, when looking at the code the exception is supposed to be handled:

try:
    current_window = get_current_window()
    logger.debug(current_window)
except Exception as e:
    logger.error("Exception thrown while trying to get active window: {}".format(e))
    traceback.print_exc()
    current_window = {"appname": "unknown", "title": "unknown"}

In this case "appname" and "title" should just be sent as "unknown" and is not supposed to crash.

Can you reproduce this directly in your terminal without aw-qt and see if there's some more information in stdout/stderr? The traceback.print_exc() line is not printing to the log i believe. And if something goes wrong in the error handling (which is my assumption since it crashes), that traceback should also be visible.

Nope ! I can reproduce, but not in terminal, lol.

I killed aw-qt, started aw-watcher-window, and went to that window, and it doesn't crash anymore. It does [WARN] like crazy though :

I get 3 of these per second so long as said window is active. It stops when I focus other windows.
Then I restarted the whole aw-qt, and it again doesn't crash, only flood warnings.

... then, I close the terminal, open the task manager, and it pops-up (=crash) again.

Related #22

I tried again because this seems crazy but the same happens : while the terminal window is open, the watcher doesn't crash, only shoots warnings when task manager is focused, and when I close the terminal and focus task manager, then the watcher crashes. The "show details" panel gets populated with the unclear branch warnings :

So it seems this is a known problem, described here and here on SO. Basically the watcher (/aw-qt) tries to print to stdout (I think traceback.print_exc() after the other error is caught) but cannot because the terminal was closed, so the print raises an Error.

I changed the above to

        except Exception as e:
            traceback.print_exc(file = open("/home/will/aw-qt.traceback", "a"))
            logger.error("Exception thrown while trying to get active window: {}".format(e))
            traceback.print_exc()

and got the traceback :

will@ker:~$ cat aw-qt.traceback 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/will/15-QS/2-Activitywatch/aw-watcher-window/aw_watcher_window/main.py", line 66, in heartbeat_loop
    current_window = get_current_window()
  File "/home/will/15-QS/2-Activitywatch/aw-watcher-window/aw_watcher_window/lib.py", line 44, in get_current_window
    return get_current_window_linux()
  File "/home/will/15-QS/2-Activitywatch/aw-watcher-window/aw_watcher_window/lib.py", line 13, in get_current_window_linux
    cls = xlib.get_window_class(window)
  File "/home/will/15-QS/2-Activitywatch/aw-watcher-window/aw_watcher_window/xlib.py", line 90, in get_window_class
    print("")
OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error

Indeed, if I comment out the line traceback.print_exc(), then it doesn't crash anymore.
(by God pip --editable is practical, many thanks for putting it in)

Any reason this hasn't been fixed?

@ym1234 Personally I can't fix it because I can't reproduce it. Are you experiencing the issue?
