bitmessage server down #20

Open rnhmjoj opened 9 years ago

rnhmjoj commented 9 years ago

Sometimes Bitpost doesn't load and display a box with this title. I have to restart it several time before it opens correctly. What does it mean?

rnhmjoj commented 9 years ago

Most of the time I can't start Bitpost. It just give that message and the leave no other choice than closing the app. I have to keep on trying until it opens correctly but that takes from 5 to 15 times at best. The error message seems to be here: https://github.com/Voluntarynet/BitmessageKit/blob/aa37b322e21afe030acf0937c812d6f59946f82c/BitmessageKit/BitMessage/Objects/Base/BMClient.m#L273

Can you open the OSX Activity Monitor and see if there are any python.exe processes running in the background?

rnhmjoj commented 9 years ago

No, there aren't any.

stevedekorte commented 9 years ago

Thanks - looking into it.

stevedekorte commented 9 years ago

This is difficult to reproduce. It does happen sometimes but it's very rare for me. Hm.

stevedekorte commented 9 years ago

So I'm guessing this happens when the bitmessage server takes an unusually long time to launch. I'm increasing the bitmessage server launch timeout to see if it helps.

pushed fix with 9b92743. Can you give it a try?

rnhmjoj commented 9 years ago

Do I need to build it? I don't have Xcode installed right now.

stevedekorte commented 9 years ago

I've put up a new release with this change: http://voluntary.net/bitpost

rnhmjoj commented 9 years ago

Thank you. I have just tried it a couple times. It only happened the first time I opened the app but now it seems gone. This is what it logged in the console: http://hastebin.com/tetunowahi

I haven't used bitmessage in a while. I tried today and it's still doing this: I can't even manage to start it. Did you figure out what cause it?
