.net exception, can not tell why

tgd · September 15, 2021, 8:10am

I do not understand what this exception is saying. Can anyone spot the problem?
It is gamma 2021.3.3 The patch was autostarted and running unattended for few hours with no user interaction.

Edit: Can you tell from the report if the exception occured on startup or after some time?
Also the patch was started with -allowmultiple arg. There is an other gamma instance running in parallel which was fine.

Did you install any nuget packages in between the working and the broken state? You could try backing up that folder (‘user folder/appdata/local/vvvv/gamma/nuggets’) and start again. If it comes up then you have some package in there our system doesn’t like. At least the error hints in that direction - it has an issue with some dll being loaded - not sure which.

tgd · September 15, 2021, 10:22am

Yes actually there is an external DLL loaded which in turn has another DLL dependency, but they worked and seemed fine so far.
They are not essential to the project so i will remove them now for sure.

I am attaching the project folder of this plugin, maybe you can spot why it is unstable or what i have done wrong.

Hm not quite sure what I should be looking for. Compiled your project file in there and opened the patch without any issues. What are the specific steps to get to the crash you reported initially?

tgd · September 15, 2021, 5:13pm

Since you said it looks like there was an issue with a loaded dll, i hoped you can spot the problem with that code. The thing is the patch and the plugin work just fine most of the time it seems. There were no steps to reproduce the exception. Like i said the patch autostarted like every morning and was not touched/edited/whatever. Had it running lot of times for longer time and there was never an issue until this morning when the client called and reported the patch has crashed.
Just hoped there is something wrong/unusual/silly with the plugin code that gamma does not like.

Elias · September 15, 2021, 6:23pm

And now it’s always crashing? Or is it sill running (sometimes)?

tgd · September 15, 2021, 6:30pm

It did not crash again since the morning :) I will remove the plugin tonight though. The patch runs at an installation at a client. Want not risk a crash again if it is caused by that plugin which is just a gimmick to monitor temperature.
