I have a plugin which has been working for 6 months.
Today, I got a report that it failed, on both Windows and Mac machines.
I asked for the input, and tried to replicate the problem. Its works just fine
on my MacBook Pro.
All machines have been updated to the latest FIJI release.
I added some logging, so the relevant code looks like this:
// get user-specified parameters
IJ.log("building dialog");
NonBlockingGenericDialog gdParms = new
NonBlockingGenericDialog("User Paraameters");
IJ.log("created gdParms");
String caseID = "noCaseID";
gdParms.addStringField("Case ID:",caseID);
IJ.log("added Case ID: "+caseID);
gdParms.addNumericField(“Marker Radius(pixels):”,
markerRoiRadius,0);
IJ.log("added Marker Radius");
gdParms.setLocation(dialogX,dialogY);
IJ.log("setLocation "+dialogX+" "+dialogY);
gdParms.showDialog();
IJ.log("gdParms.wasCanceled() =" + gdParms.wasCanceled());
if(gdParms.wasCanceled()) return;
IJ.log("getting caseID");
caseID = gdParms.getNextString();
IJ.log("caseID = "+caseID);
markerRoiRadius = (int)gdParms.getNextNumber();
IJ.log("markerRoiRadius = "+markerRoiRadius);
The Log window ends with the line:
SetLocation 0 0
So… the statement:
gdParms.showDialog();
Appears to have been executed, but nothing appears on the screen, and the
program stalls.
There is no relevant output in the Console window.
We have rebooted, updated FIJI, all to no avail.
It fails on 3 machines (2 Windows and one Mac) in a research lab in a medical
center, but works perfectly on my MacBook Pro, at home.
The initial report claims that they were using the plugin on a series of cases.
It worked on a bunch of cases, and then failed on the next (and has failed at
their location every time since). Ss so…no FIJI update or OS update between
the last success and the first failure.
I’m baffled. Any ideas?
Finally, the user reports that when the plugin stalls, all other FIJI functions
work properly. It’s as if “showDialog()” has either terminated the plugin
(without anything in the Log or Console window), or is waiting for an input
(but has not actually displayed the dialog box). I asked them to hit ESC,
which had no effect.
