Exception in Thread Phrase-thread about autokey-python2 HOT 6 CLOSED

i can for sure paste the script code as well - if needed.
Just let me know

from autokey-python2.

Sorry it took so long to reply. I spend most of my time on our support list.

We don't currently have any developers who can look at the code and give you a definitive answer or provide a fix.

If you know any Python developers with time on their hands, ... ;)

This sounds a little bit like another bug we had where a system function was upgraded with an additional argument that we hadn't coded for.

I just added to pages to our wiki on Problem Reporting and on Installing from GitHub.

You may want to install the latest version - 0.90.4-1. It had fixes for the above problem - that probably won't help you, but it might.

A full problem report, including a trace would also be very helpful.

One more thought.

Long ago, but maybe after 0.90.4, it was possible to add a macro using the gui in a way that accidentally added a null trigger phrase. This would cause AutoKey to die every time it looked at the list of trigger phrases to see if one had been entered. If you did this, AutoKey would bomb all the time, not just on a particular macro.

If you open a macro like this for editing in the AutoKey main window, you would "see" a blank line as the first trigger phrase. If you have one of those, just delete all your trigger phrases for it and add one back in - remembering to press Enter immediately following entering the string - before clicking on anything else.

This is fixed in 0.90.4-1.

Hi,

first of all - thanks for taking a look.
I'll add output with debug logging in the following days.

Now i am late ;)

1. Although this may be a valid issue, it would be much easier to deal with on our mailing list (which I check several times a day). I get here infrequently. That's why I'm so long in replying to you.

It's much easier to try things out on the list and eliminate the obvious, before filing an issue with the benefit of whatever we've already learned on the list.

Also, many people read the list and can provide helpful input while, apparently, I am the only one reading and replying to issues.

2. Reading the trace, it appears that you typed the characters "html" into a gedit window.

AutoKey says no hotkeys were found, so it looks like you have a phrase or macro defined to trigger when AutoKey sees the user typed characters "html". The only way this should be able to happen is if the macro/phrase was set to Trigger immediately - with no separator characters (because AutoKey doesn't report seeing any before the problem occurs).

From what you say, I assume this was a trigger for a phrase, not a macro, but from the trace, it looks like AutoKey was trying to run a macro when it got upset. This is a paradox to be resolved.

If we had phrase definitions which triggered macros - especially (presumably) non-existent ones, there would have been many reports, so something else is probably going on.

3. Things to try, etc.:

a) Make sure you have one and only one thing (macro or phrase) set to trigger on the abbreviation "html". (This might only be OK if multiple definitions had different window filters defined, but I don't want to deal with that until more simple issues have been eliminated.)

b) Do your other phrases or macros work? How is this one different from them?

c) Turn off Trigger immediately for this phrase and see if it works when you type a space or press enter after "html". While you have it open, list all the setting for this phrase and post back here or attach a screen shot of the Abbreviations dialogue along with the rest of the settings displayed below it.

d) Look through all your macro and phrase definitions. For each one, look at the Abbreviations setting. If it says (None configured), go to the next one.

If there is an abbreviation defined, Click on the Set button to the right. This will open the Set Abbreviations dialog. There you will see a box on the left which lists all the abbreviations which trigger this phrase or macro. I need to know if any of these show a blank line before the first abbreviation or anywhere else except after all the abbreviations. I also want to know if you have any which do have more than one abbreviation defined.

e) Since I'm seeing some non-English (German?) in the trace, what locale and what character set are you using? We might want to try something like:

LC_CTYPE=C LC_ALL=C autokey-gtk -l

for a trace of the issue with your language settings turned off just for the test. This won't affect any other commands or the rest of your system if done this way.

I cant really explain where the issue was coming from - but it was most likely related with a messed up configuration.

@josephj11
Thanks for the feedback which helped solving it for me.
