pythonw.exe multiple processes ( too many )

[SDiniz]

For the last two days, I've been having an curious problem.

I'm running Sublime Text 2 ( Version 2.0.2, Build 2221 ) on Windows 8.1, and the plugin generates a lot of pythonw.exe processes.

As you can see in the image below.

Don't really know how it suddenly started generating all this processes. The only way to solve it, is to close Sublime, and then re-open it, after a few hours, it's the same again.

Do you have any error messages in your ~/.wakatime.log file? After sending the heartbeat, the process should exit.

[SDiniz]

Yeah, but not errors, only warnings:

And this repeat's forever ( my log file is 44MB right now )

Does this help? Any other thing you need, just ask, no problem at all.

PS: I also use Sublime and Wakatime at home, but at home I don't have any problem, but I'm on windows 7.

Can you enable debug mode in either your Sublime Text Wakatime.sublime-settings file or ~/.wakatime.cfg? Then empty/delete your ~/.wakatime.log file and watch if the heartbeat is getting a successful response code 201 from the api.

Do you need a proxy to connect to the internet at work? That could cause wakatime-cli to wait up to 30 seconds before timing out. However, then those python processes should exit after 30 seconds at the most. It's best to turn on debugging and see where it's getting hung up.

[SDiniz]

So I just enabled debug mode, and deleted the Wakatime log, but I'm already out of the office, tomorrow afternoon ( I'm in Portugal ), I will post the result from the log.

And no, no proxy, but I'm receiving quite a lot of those warnings of slow plugin. I'm also receiving from time to time, the slow plugin error message from Sublime, but I think that is because of the connection to Wakatime servers, not an error about the plugin itself.

[alanhamlett]

You can disable the slow plugin warning, which is an annoyance of ST2 that was fixed in ST3: https://github.com/wakatime/sublime-wakatime/issues/40

I'll wait for the debug logs to shed some light. Talk to you tomorrow!

[SDiniz]

So here is my log, I cropped it a little, so we don't have to look at all of the lines, since the file is already 1.8MB.

https://gist.github.com/SDiniz/6f04ec1af2194148c3a4

Looking at it, I didn't find anything really wrong, some requests return 201 immediately, others take quite some time to return.

Hope this helps.

Having the same issue randomly.

[schleumer]

I can relate that same bug.

[arleslie]

Possible cause: A plugin (such as wbond's SFTP) has a dialog pop up (the unregistered copy dialog) that isn't closed for a period of time while you're editing.

[arleslie]

Able to reproduce regularly with the above possible cause.

[alanhamlett]

Should be fixed with v7.0.0.
