Anki Freeze During Review with Ankimorph

[HQYang1979]

Anki freezes sometimes during review with Ankimorph, I have to Ctrl+Alt+Shift to kill it. Sadly there is no error messages but I pretty sure it has something to do with Ankimorph, mostly happens when skipping the cards.

Can you open anki from terminal and tell us the output when that happens

@HQYang1979 Do you see the 'skipping cards' pop-up window when this happens?

[HQYang1979]

I'll have to wait for next freeze....

[mortii]

Let's give this a 3 week period, if it hasn't happened after that then the issue will be closed automatically.

[HQYang1979]

I haven't encountered any freeze up till now, though I've been heavily using the addon.

Freeze....

Ok, so it happens before line 90 in reviewing_utils.py

label=f"Skipping {skipped_cards.total_skipped_cards} cards"

that narrows it down quite a bit.

@HQYang1979 What happens if you click the 'x' button on the little pop-up window?

Nothing happens. It doesn't respond.

I think this is probably a bug in the Anki API. I also think it might be a race condition bug, which is worst case scenario. I can't think of any way to solve this, unfortunately....

We should add this to the known bugs section. Hopefully it keeps being a rare occurrence.

@HQYang1979 have you noticed any common behaviour. Can you run anki from now on through the terminal everytime

I will run through terminal from now on

Interesting... It could also potentially be other add-ons interfering. Maybe we can add more logging to make debugging easier.

Freezed when press undone on browser (undo the merge)

@HQYang1979 perfect, its another add-on that is causing the problem. What's the name of the 3858888438 add-on?

Okay, I'll add it to the known problems section :+1:

I am not sure if this freezed is related to the ankimorph.

I am not sure if this freezed is related to the ankimorph.

Not that I can tell from the terminal at least. Maybe exiting the reviewer and browser before creating a backup might help--less likely for add-ons to interrupt anki.

It actually is an auto backup by Anki itself

Interesting, didn't know that existed.

another freeze during normal review

another freeze during normal review

That sucks. Since there are no errors shown, and it happens before the AnkiMorphs starts looping through cards, I again think its a rare bug in the Anki API. Since AM uses this background operation API call every time a card is answered this potentially rare bug could become more noticeable then in other add-ons.

It could still potentially be another add-on that is somehow interfering. If you disable all the other add-ons and you still get the problem then it would narrow it down to a bug in either ankimorphs or the anki api.
