 Posted: Tue Jun 15, 2010 2:54 am Post subject: WSW 10.2b4 - Autowatch cycle never ends. |
 |
|
After installing the last beta, WSW started behaving strange.
I noticed that after my laptop resumed from hibernation or sleep, the autowatch cycle started to work endlessly without the proper wait time between checks.
Disabling the autowatch and re enabling it didn't fix the problem.
Only after I restarted the program, the problem went away.
On WSW 10.1 the problem did not exist.

What do you mean exactly with "endlessly"? Which countdown value was displayed in status bar?
And is this something you can reproduce? If yes, with which configurations is this reproducible?

The same countdown which is displayed when a check is made against some or all bookmarks.
It seems like there are some bookmarks that keep being checked with a fraction of a second delay between checks.
The percent counter starts to count untill it reaches 100%, then after less than a second it resumes from zero and starts the check cycle again.
Normaly, I have a 10 minutes delay between checks, but after my pc is being resumed from sleep or hibernation, it seems like the delay settings is ignored.
It happens every time WSW was with autoWatch on while sleeping or hibernating.
I tried stopping autoWatch before making the pc sleep, but it didn't help.
Right after resuming when I reenabled autoWatch, WSW started the regular check cycle and when it ended, it started again (much faster) with some of the bookmarks.

I'm unfortunately still not able to reproduce such a behavior here.
Could you please provide a sample bookmark list with some configured bookmarks where this problem is reproducible?

I;ve seen this on recent betas as well.
It's very hard to reproduce and has happened about twice in 3 weeks.
I'm on Win 7 and it seems to happen after WSW has been running for several days. |

Does it only happen after resuming from hibernation or sleep, or also in other cases?

No, basically the routine is, PC is rebooted. I started WSW manually. Then 2-3 days later it goes "crazy". Constantly running autowatch, and never ending. |

I am also seeing this behavior with the WSW 10.2 beta.
With my PC, it seems unrelated to sleep or hibernation, and it can happen within hours after rebooting, or not for 2-3 days; it is not consistent that way.
What is consistent is that (so far) what triggers the endless bookmark checks is websites that are temporarily down - it can't seem to realize that and move on. In fact, the error message sometimes says something like "more than 1000 errors", but it won't give up. It keeps checking the same 2-3 failed bookmarks, every second, in an endless loop.
The only way to stop it is to exit the program and restart it. |

John and flub are right. It happened to me too this night without the pc going to sleep or hibernation.
I'm also in win 7.
My installation is a portable one.
I have installed the beta on an XP machine and imported my bookmarks to see if it happens there too.
it did.
So, I looked on the bookmarks that showed being checked every time and noticed that there was an error in checking them.
I changed in athese bookmarks the "Ignore error codes from server" setting in "Check(1)" to "On" and that corrected the problem.

flub, thanks for the video. Indeed very strange.
OK, the video shows that you're checking 2 bookmarks via AutoWatch. Could you please export and send me these two bookmarks, then I can try to reproduce the problem here with your bookmark configuration.
1. Right click these 2 bookmarks
2. Select "Organize" + "Export to WebSite-Watcher export file (*.zip)"
3. Save the file and attach it to your e-mail - http://www.aignes.com/email.htm
If I'm not able to reproduce that behavior with your bookmarks here, I'll create a special build that will write an enhanced log file. Maybe we can figure out the culprit that way.

Martin,
I've no way of finding out which bookmarks those are. The program becomes unresponsive. I have 353 Bookmarks in my Autowatch, a number of them with Macros with Usernames and Passwords etc.
Sometimes the number in the video will be different, I've seen it try to cycle around 8-9 sites. |

no problem.
I could probably fix this bug now. Please download and install version 10.2 Beta-5 and report back if you still have these problems with that version.
