What’s the full path to the file?

Re: gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

[Cojacket]

I am having the same problem, gnucash 3.0 crashes when I attempt to open my
file last saved in version 2.6.19. I am running windows 10.

I have been able to create a new file without incident. Is there a way to
import my 2.6.19 file into 3.0?

I have followed report comments for bug 782144 which seem relevant in my
case as well.

RE: gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

[htyber]

I have examined the gnucash.trace file and find one critical error that's
probably causing the crash. Any ideas on how I might address this problem?

child process (No such file or directory) 
* 21:48:06  CRIT  g_file_test: assertion 'filename != NULL' failed

Subject: gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

Gnucash 3.0 on Windows 10 crashes on opening my account file. The account
file was last saved in gnucash 2.6.19 and opens flawlessly in that version.
When I start gnucash 3.0 it briefly shows my list of accounts and then I get
the Windows message that the application has crashed.

I am able to create a file in 3.0. I also was able to import the chart of
accounts in 3.0. I have tried running the program in Admin mode also. No
luck with my original data file.

I have seen this reported under bug 782144. I suspect some data in the file
might be causing trouble. The only entries that I have that seem out of the
ordinary is an "imbalance account" that I use to track business auto
mileage. 

Appreciate any help on upgrading to 3.0.

Re: gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

[David Carlson]

nor,

Since you found the main thread on this maillist about this bug or bugs you
know that the developers are already looking in to it with a very high
priority.

It is not an easy one resolve because, among other things, it is most
likely to appear when release 3.0 is installed over an installation of
release 2.6 xx in Windows but not in a clean install where there was no
earlier version installed.  Since overlay installations do not delete user
settings they need to look into areas where no developer has gone before,
so to speak.

Please be patient.

No, 1.4M, even compressed, isn’t terribly large. My main database is about 7M 
compressed, 53M uncompressed.

There are a couple of open bugs on a similar problem, one of which, bug 782144 
, has a long chain of things 
we’ve tried to isolate the problem. You should probably read that before you 
start your own debugging.

Thanks John - I expect puttingin proxy configuration won't be too difficult.
I will have a look later.

BTW I got the exact same crash running gc3 at home, opening the same
accounts file. Perhaps it is related to the accounts file. I have been using
gnucash for some years now, my file is 1.4MB in size - is that considered
large?

Anyway it means I can debug it at home now, when I have the time.

Quite likely, I don’t have any proxies in place and didn’t take that 
possibility into account. I’m also not at all sure that Mingw-w64’s package 
manager will work through a proxy, so you may need to figure out how to make 
the proxy transparent to shell file retrieval programs.

Thanks again again. I had not only to run powershell with administrator
priviliges, but also type 'Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted' before running
the script. Perhaps script execution policy is restricted by default at my
workplace for security reasons.

The VB script isn't very good at error messages and can be frustrating to get 
right. Fortunately it's for the old Mings-classic environment for 2.6.x and 
before. You don't really want to use that.

Instead, run mingw64-setup.ps1 with administrator privs. That sets up the 
Mingw-w64 environment we use to build GnuCash-3.x.

No you couldn't. GnuCash is built with gcc in a Mingw-w64 environment. gcc 
generates DWARF symbols that Visual Studio doesn't understand.

Nice thought, though.

Okay - I might just build a debug version myself and run it up in Visual
Studio - I don't know how much effort that is from cold, though I see from a
quick shufti that the build requires 'mingw support scripts' - which doesn't
inspire me with much confidence :-(

Re: gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

[David Carlson]

Actually, whatever references there may be to earlier 2.6.whatever releases
would just be for historical completeness at this point.  The version that
needs to be fixed is 3.0 and the cause may have different symptoms with
different data files or on different computers with different histories of
previously installed versions of GnuCash.  In fact, being installed over a
previous version of GnuCash may be the key thing to trigger the bug.  Keep
reporting whatever you see with 3.0

P,

it seems that a few windows users are having similar crashes or slow
starts.  There is an earlier thread abut this that refers to GnuCash bug
792105.  The developers are currently gathering input to figure out what is
happening.

gnucash 3.0 crashes opening accounts file

[pjlbyrne]

Hi,

I just downloaded and installed gnucash 3.0 on my Windows 7 machine. When I
start it the app window comes up, but after I select the accounts file in
the file open dialog I get this error dialog.

 

Any ideas?
