Description

Both in the default and Dev_main branches.

APE creation works fine, but AB and ABX gets stuck when I press the "next" button in the last dialog. I tried both leaving only the default checkboxes or unticking all the checkboxes.
Using python 2.7.10 to run the server on localhost on MacOS El Capitian

Steps to reproduce the problem:
  • go to http://localhost:8000/demo.html
  • click "Next" on the welcome page
  • select the "AB" or "ABX" interface in the "Select your interface" dialog
  • click "next" on the "test checks and restriction" and "test metrics" dialogs.
  • you are then presented with the "test visuals" dialog. Click "Next" here and the page will hang indefinitely until Chrome displays the "Aw Snap something went wrong" page

the server log up to this point will look like this:

If you ctrl-C the python server before (or after) the "Aw snap" message you get this additional log

History

#1 Updated by Nicholas Jillings about 8 years ago

This is a very strange bug, and I have experienced it myself. If the browser console is open it seems to work, likewise stepping through the code does not cause this issue. Preliminary diagnosis indicates a severe memory leak.

#2 Updated by Giulio Moro about 8 years ago

I have encountered this error systematically, regardless of the fact that the console was open or closed.

#3 Updated by Nicholas Jillings about 8 years ago

  • Status changed from New to Resolved

Fix in dev_main. Caused by re-using same index in nested loop. Would be triggered if the last metric option was not selected. Memory leak caused by generating Metric Object repeatedly.
