🐛 Script Editor - Stuck In ReadOnly Mode After Exception

Rhino Rhino for Windows

Hi @eirannejad,

Working on getting you a sample of code but since 8.18 the script editor often gets stuck in ReadOnly mode if the code throws an exception via something like this:

    def CreateButtons(self):
        try:
            # Add some code that will throw exception here
            print(f"buttons_length: {len(self.buttons}")
                
        except Exception as ex:
            Rhino.RhinoApp.WriteLine(f"CreateButtons Exception: {ex}")

CreateButtons Exception: '<__main__.Form__Toolbar object at 0x0000025C88043700>' object has no attribute 'buttons'

Do you see this on your end? For me it happens anytime I throw an exception and close out of an Eto.Form that would have contained the “exception causing code”

I can only get out of the ReadOnly mode with a restart of Rhino, and even then, I sometimes still see a “Rhino” process in my taskbar in Background Processes (Still trying to figure out if that is related to this or if that is caused by my code elsewhere)

I can still work in Rhino, create geometry, etc… but cannot use the ScriptEditor

What I see in the script editor when this happens:

What I see in my task manager AFTER completely closing Rhino:

Thanks for your help!

UPDATE:

I seem to have traced this back to a single variable “get_result = None” that was set at some time in a Get() subclass.

I still am not sure if this is 100% the cause, I’ll report back if it is not and the read only locking returns again but my guess is the code was “interrupting” the command completion sequence somehow leaving the Script Editor in ReadOnly mode.

Unfortunately, no exceptions, errors, or dumps were ever returned so tracking the bug was rather challenging.

EDIT:

Nevermind, this is definitely related to exceptions being thrown. Investigating further…
