Hard crash while autosaving and running command bar code

Bug Reports Studio Bugs

Reproduction Steps

This was probably a fluke and will not reproduce easily.
I was running simple command bar code trying to remember some syntax and behavior and encountered a hard crash a second after running the last command.

Judging by the log an autosave happened at the same time I was running the command. Autosave needs to be more aware of when the user is doing something before it tries to save. Autosave is disruptive, and this alone would prevent it from screwing up most of the time in weird edge cases like this. Right now, more often than not it feels like autosave specifically kicks in the moment I start doing something instead.

The last segment of my log is the following:

Thanks for the report ! Do you still encounter this issue ?

#3

As mentioned this was a one off issue. Rare to reproduce. Likely can still occur.

#4

It seems like this error happens when you execute command line code within an acceptable range of frames before and after the autosave occurs

#5

This is most likely the same issue as reported in this thread:

This issue was fixed back in 7/25/22 and should no longer be occurring. Apologies for the late response. I lost track of this thread and it just showed up on my radar again today.

Hey! I do not use and never use the performance widget, not to mention this is a CTD with no dialog, so I’m unsure how these two crashes could be related. Are you sure you’ve replied to the correct thread?

In any case, I’ve never had this issue again since. If this is the correct thread then that’s good to hear. :slight_smile:

#7

For that specific crash, the issue was caused by the Performance widget being visible but the root cause is the same. There are several different workflows that could result in Studio crashing during a save. The fix I made for the other crash applies to all such workflows including this one :slight_smile:
