Studio .app crashes on M1, Sonoma beta about zerobranestudio

==> wxwidgets: stable 3.2.2.1 (bottled), HEAD

Thanks @rtgoodwin; I can confirm that it works with wxwidgets 3.2.2.1 and wxwidgets 3.2.1, so I may do a macOS specific release in a day or two. Unfortunately going with the newer wxwidgets version has some other issues that need to be addressed. I plan on having a version for you to test in a day or two and it would be great to have your feedback on this, as I plan to make this release before the end of the month.

[pkulchenko]

Looks like it. It's not the kind of thing that would bother me per se, but I imagine it could get quite annoying :)

@rtgoodwin, it looks like this effect only happens using dark mode; without it things look correct. I'm still trying to find what may be causing this, but it looks like it's an old issue in wxwidgets, so I'm less reluctant to release a fix for Sonoma.

[pkulchenko]

@rtgoodwin, thank you for the report. Just to confirm, (1) you were not able to run the app from the current master branch on M1 under Sonoma beta, but (2) you were able to run it with lua53, luasocket and wxlua installed?

Can you try running bin/lua src/main.lua and report anything in the output back? Has it ever started before on that macOS version. I've tested the master branch on Ventura without any issues, so am curious if this is related to the new macOS version or something else.

[pkulchenko]

@rtgoodwin, I can confirm the issue, but there doesn't seem to be anything I can do (or at least nothing obvious), as the application works on Ventura, but not on the current beta of Sonoma. I also tested on a much simpler application using wxlua with the same result, so it doesn't seem to be directly related to the IDE code.

I submitted a report to Apple and will continue to investigate, but I'd wait for the the next beta or the release version to see if the issue still persists. I'll update the ticket if I get any additional information on this.

Just to confirm on the second question: are you saying it worked for you with wxlua from brew? If it did, what version of wxwidgets/wxlua was that?

[rtgoodwin]

To the first question:

❯ bin/lua src/main.lua
zsh: segmentation fault  bin/lua src/main.lua

With brew lua it seems to run fine (how I used it) but does throw the error you see below when exiting:

❯ lua -v
Lua 5.4.6  Copyright (C) 1994-2023 Lua.org, PUC-Rio

❯ lua src/main.lua
./src/osx/carbon/clipbrd.cpp(64): assert ""m_open"" failed in Flush(): clipboard not open
Collecting stack trace information, please wait...zsh: trace trap  lua src/main.lua

To the second, unless I'm forgetting something, this is from brew list | grep wx:

[rtgoodwin]

Fantastic! Glad to hopefully have helped and not made more work :)

[pkulchenko]

@rtgoodwin, yes, it did help; thank you! I opened a wxwidgets ticket, but it looks like they don't have resources to work on it. I'll try to bisect it to see if I can find where it broke, but given the large number of commits between 3.1.4 when it worked and 3.2.0 when it appears to have broken it may take a while.

Do you see the same issue with the "original" text displayed when you try to edit a file name in the project tree or a watch expression in the watch panel?

[rtgoodwin]

Looks like it. It's not the kind of thing that would bother me per se, but I imagine it could get quite annoying :)

Ran the same brew lua src/main.lua:

[pkulchenko]

Right; that's the same effect that I see. I'll continue checking if I can find the commit that introduced it.

[jfchevrette]

I'm having the same issue with the 2.0 release

$ cd /Applications/ZeroBraneStudio.app/Contents/ZeroBraneStudio/
$ ./bin/lua src/main.lua
zsh: segmentation fault  ./bin/lua src/main.lua

Same with lua installed from brew, same with wxlua. Not sure what else to try...

[pkulchenko]

@jfchevrette, also on Sonoma beta or a different version? There hasn't been a fix yet, as there is an issue with the wxwidgets version where the crash appears to be fixed (see my previous comment), but I plan to provide a macos binary that at least addresses the crash soon.

yes I'm on the latest Sonoma beta. I tried to install the latest wxwidgets using brew but that didn't do it. I must have missed something. No rush, I will wait for an updated binary. Thanks for the fantastic work on ZeroBrane Studio 😄

[pkulchenko]

@rtgoodwin, @jfchevrette, should be fixed now in the wx321 branch. Please check and confirm and I'll merge it.

Also, let me know if you notice any (visual) issues with that build (other than the tree issue with the dark mode I noted above that I don't have a fix for). Thank you!

[jfchevrette]

@rtgoodwin, @jfchevrette, should be fixed now in the wx321 branch. Please check and confirm and I'll merge it.

I was able to launch the app with ./bin/lua src/main.lua on branch wx321. I did not test beyond that though. Thanks!

[pkulchenko]

Yes, that's what I'd like to confirm. Thank you!

[rtgoodwin]

So sorry, I didn't get this notification at all. It sounds like you nailed it, so will report back only if it's an issue. Thank you!! :)

Edit: Not an issue, launches beautifully, so many thanks!!

[pkulchenko]

@rtgoodwin, sounds good; thank you for confirming and for the original report!
