Task Coach

Crash Report for Task Coach?

Asked by Stead Kiger

Because I have intermittent problems with Task Coach crashing, I would like to be able to review a crash report or log and submit bug reports.

I see that there is a traceback file taskcoach.exe.log in the Task Coach directory (C:\Program Files\TaskCoach) but it is several weeks old and has not been updated after recent crashes. How can I get a crash report/traceback?

I am using Task Coach v. 1.2.17 on Windows XP.

Thank you!

Task Coach is written in a high-level language (Python); the .log contains Python exceptions that weren't handled. If you experience crashes that do not write anything to this log, it means that it's a more serious problem, probably in the wxPython toolkit. The only way to analyze this would be to attach a debugger and print the C call stack, not something very user-friendly.

The next best thing would be to isolate simple scenarios that make the crash reproducible, so we can dissect it ourselves, but such problems are usually random and very hard to reproduce, so there's not much we can do IMHO...
