Bugs and crashes inside the hook lead to an exception inside the exception which clutters the output and confuse the user. User/Developer need to understand this Python hook and look into the encapsulated stack trace only. Test Case --------- 1. Create /tmp/getcwd.py with following content: ``` #!/usr/bin/python3 import os import tempfile tempdir = tempfile.mkdtemp() os.chdir(tempdir) os.rmdir(tempdir) os.getcwd() ``` 2. Make it executable and execute it. It should produce following output: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/getcwd.py", line 9, in <module> os.getcwd() FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory ``` instead of: ``` $ /tmp/getcwd.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/getcwd.py", line 9, in <module> os.getcwd() FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Error in sys.excepthook: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport_python_hook.py", line 76, in apport_excepthook binary = os.path.realpath(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), sys.argv[0])) FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Original exception was: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/getcwd.py", line 9, in <module> os.getcwd() FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory ``` Another related issue: bug #1979637 Regression Potential -------------------- There might be a regression that causes capturing Python exception fail. Then reporting them as bugs to Launchpad or the error tracker would not be possible.
