Crashes on start-up since 0.5.3 alpha

[soliviantar]

Opening Anki immediately shows the following error message:

Error
An error occurred. Please start Anki while holding down the shift key, which will temporarily disable the add-ons you have installed.
If the issue only occurs when add-ons are enabled, please use the Tools > Add-ons menu item to disable some add-ons and restart Anki, repeating until you discover the add-on that is causing the problem.
When you've discovered the add-on that is causing the problem, please report the issue to the add-on author.

It also makes other add-ons crash (like Chinese Support 3) when closing Anki.

Thank you for reporting it!

This is the same error that was described in the v0.4.1-alpha changelog:

THIS UPDATES CAUSES AN ERROR! This happens because I renamed a config variable (focus_morph_field -> unknowns_field). To fix this error go to Tools -> Add-ons -> select 'ankimorphs-alpha' -> click Config -> Restore Defaults. This resets your AnkiMorphs settings, so you need to redo your settings and save the changes.

Do you know which version you updated from?

[soliviantar]

I restored defaults and now it's working fine, thanks!

I think I installed this addon in the first or second alpha, so it's been updating automatically ever since. I might have skipped one of the 0.5, but I don't think so.

[mortii]

Huh, that is very weird... Hopefully this is an edge-case and it doesn't happen for other people.

Glad it works! :raised_hands:
