TelFit stopped working - Unlocked directory not found

[reillymilburn]

I have been using TelFit consistently for a while now, but have encountered a new error I am unsure how to deal with. When I try and run TelFit on my data, I receive this warning indefinitely:

WARNING:root:Un-locked directory not found! Waiting 10 seconds...

As far as I know, I have not changed anything with my computer. It is possible my computer auto-updated to the newest version of Mac OS. Could that be the issue here? What are your recommendations for getting TelFit working again?

UPDATE:

I also receive this warning when importing TelFit:

/Users/reilly/opt/anaconda3/envs/telenv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pysynphot/locations.py:46: UserWarning: PYSYN_CDBS is undefined; functionality will be SEVERELY crippled. warnings.warn("PYSYN_CDBS is undefined; functionality will be SEVERELY " /Users/reilly/opt/anaconda3/envs/telenv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pysynphot/locations.py:345: UserWarning: Extinction files not found in extinction warnings.warn('Extinction files not found in %s' % (extdir, ))

Thanks, Reilly

This looks to be a more in depth error:

If I remember correctly, the telfit working directory is ~/.telfit. From the traceback, it looks like you can verify that if you turn up the logging level to debug.

But basically, I believe that can happen if telfit crashes too many times. You have to manually go into that working directory and delete the lock files yourself.

Lock files deleted and it seems to be working again! Thanks so much! :')

I'll consider this Issue closed, since a workaround appears to resolve the problem. Feel free to re-open if you think we should address the root cause.
