hang/freeze | Cygwin-Windows

[fohrums]

Windows 8.1 x64 / Cygwin 1.7.33 x64 / Python 2.7.9

Cygwin hangs only on some beets commands that involve moving or modifying the file (import, remove) NOT query commands (ls).

canceling the command CTRL+C initiates the hang/freeze.

***at this point it freezes/hangs

NOTE

works properly in Windows-CMD though, but it's so hard to work with anything outside the *nix commands as they're superior.

funny thing is that it worked before I just don't know what caused this to happen.

[sampsyo]

Pretty bizarre. This is going to be very hard to reproduce, since I don't have access to a Cygwin machine. So any digging you can do to get to the bottom of this would be incredibly valuable.

You mentioned you can get hangs on remove too. Do you have an example of that?

***at this point it freezes/hangs

you'd think 20 min wait would be more than enough time for removing 2-tracks right?

[sampsyo]

Yes.

If you have any programming knowledge, is there any chance you can do some more investigation to see exactly where it's hanging? Specifically, it might be useful to put a bunch of print calls in around suspicious code to pinpoint the exact problem area. You might look, for example, in beets.ui.commands for the remove command code and beets.util for the actual file-deletion call.

Does ctrl-C give you a traceback?

Does ctrl-C give you a traceback?

No. That initiates the hang/freeze. Once I cancel the command my cursor no longer blinks and i'm forced to terminate cygwin.

[sampsyo]

OK—can you try print-debugging?

[fohrums]

@sampsyo i'm afraid I don't know how :(

[sampsyo]

Alright. We'll need to leave it here for now then. If anyone with Cygwin can shed more light on the issue, please do pitch in. (But for now, I have no way to investigate this further.)

[sampsyo]

This issue is timing out. I'm sorry this issue is so hard to reproduce -- please reopen it if there's any more evidence we can use.
