linux build crashes when connecting to test.mosquitto.org

./SparkpluGUI-Linux v1.0.0

MQTT host: test.mosquitto.org port: 1883 subscribe to: spBv1.0/#

click 'connect', and the app crashes with the following error message:

Oopsie doopsie 😅

Context

There is no tahu support for a Golang implementation of the sparkplug-payload nor the sparkplug-client.

I have found this as a code base: https://github.com/weekaung/sparkplugb-client.

Core

DecodePayload is directly involved in this error and the code use it like that: https://github.com/Ambre-io/sparkplugui/blob/main/backend/sparkplug/weekaung.go#L104.

I copied the code base and add method from the fresh compiled proto file: https://github.com/Ambre-io/sparkplugui/blob/main/backend/sparkplug/sproto/sparkplug_b.pb.go.

Understanding

It cannot or doesn't know how to decode an incoming message.

I don't yet have the type(s) of messages that are causing the problem here, because some work well, fortunately.

I'm still not sure to understand well what is happening here..

Windows version crashes as well.

Hello @marchino2000, thank you for reporting this and sorry for the bad user experience with SparkpluGUI. Do you have more information to give like the context of usage?

I think there are two main problems:

• back: the incomplete Go Sparkplug Client (fail on decoding)
• front: the not optimized tree building that displays topics + Redux Toolkit as Event Handler trick to benchmark

For now, SparkpluGUI can't handle top-level topics that involve a large flow of messages.

Unfortunately, I currently can't do more for this. The cool thing is that with wes-johnson, the main maintainer of the tahu library, we discussed adding it to the Tahu Project. I will find a moment to make it true, SparkpluGUI gonna have better chance like that.

Also, if you want to contribute, feel free to create a PR!

Peace 🫰

Hi @guiklimek , thank you for your reply. I find this gui a valuable utility to monitor sparkplug messages, so keep up with the good work! In my case it seems that crash is related to authentication fields: if you leave user and password empty, then you'll get the problem.
