Crash during testing with pygaze_trackertest

[cyrus]

I am trying to test pygaze on my system, and it seems to fail on the following part of the trackertest:

$ python PyGaze_trackertest.py 
starting recording ...
returned 0
Start realtime mode ...
Wait for block start ...
done ...
stopping recording ...
done ...
status message: now testing sample function

libeyelink.libeyelink.fix_triggered_drift_correction(): success

Traceback (most recent call last):

    spos = self.sample()

    "Error in libeyelink.libeyelink.sample(): Recording was not "
Exception: Error in libeyelink.libeyelink.sample(): Recording was not started before collecting eyelink data!

I am using pygaze version 0.6.0a6, synced with git today. python 2.7 Ubunutu 14.04 most recent pylink version.

I also tried the other example programs, and they all seem to crash on the "wait_for_xxxx" function calls. Any ideas why this might be the case? Any ideas on how to dig deeper to debug?

Thanks so much,

When I comment out the following tests, the rest of the tests pass ''' tracker.wait_for_fixation_start, tracker.wait_for_fixation_end, tracker.wait_for_saccade_start, tracker.wait_for_saccade_end, tracker.wait_for_blink_start, tracker.wait_for_blink_end, '''

Also, there is a problem with the function:

tracker.fix_triggered_drift_correction()

I have to press the ESCAPE key to break out of that one....

Any idea what is wrong, @esdalmaijer or @smathot or others?

(I forgot to mention: I am testing this with @smathot 's fork of PyGaze.)
