I didn't get a reply to my last email so I'm trying here: after Thomas Tempelmann convinced me to try with the diagnosis in a thread everything seemed to be fine.

Then I got the first report from a customer: when you switch to another app when the diagnosis is running then macOS redraws the windows, which reloads the data in the main window. Which then crashes due to the running diagnosis. I think I fixed that by doing a semaphore on the reloading of the data. Of course, in this case part of the data in the window disappears because the NSTableView doesn't cache the data.

So far so good. Then yesterday I got another crash report. My app now crashes when the app is quit during diagnosis.

I have a really bad feeling about the situation with the diagnosis. A couple of times I thought "now I've got it" - just to see another hole that I need to plug.

The whole architecture doesn't work. The app is async and the database is not. That doesn't fit together.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Regards

I have an idea where I screwed up. The diagnosis feels like a sieve or I'm too stupid.

Hi Ruslan,

yes, got the issue fixed. A too-early notification closed the progress window while the diagnosis was ongoing.

How do I solve the problem with the disappearing data?

Sorry, I do not see question about data above. Where it was?

Do a diagnosis
Switch to another app
Switch back to my app
Now macOS does a refresh of the window.

The NSTableview reloads the data -> crash because the diagnosis is ongoing. Or do a semaphore so that no data is loaded which makes the data go away. The NSTableview doesn't cache the data. I assign a cursor and with the method

Public Function DataSource_Cell(row as Integer, column as Integer) as ListCellTV

I only get the data of the visible cells from the cursor into the NSTableview.

Hi Beatrix,

As far as I got it - there are 2 threads (I mean OS threads - not Xojo's) which are calling vKernel at the same time and crash happens? BTW, could you send me the crash log?
It seems to be impossible because of Xojo's cooperative multitasking. I mean it could be few OS threads, but it can not be really 2 vKernel calls at the same time.

Well, we have thread-safe vKernel/vShared... components which are using under vServer, vStudio and probably some ADKs, but not under Xojo's plugin. Probably, we should use them in Xojo.

As a workaround, you may use something like Mutex/Semaphore or condition_variables/events for synching that threads.

I've attached the crash log. I'm now using a semaphore as workaround.
