Please describe the problem.
The watcher crashes.
I only need to restart the thread in the pop-up to get everything to work again, but I'm reporting just in case that this issue has any other implications.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
I open the webapp and in the minutes before it starts syncing (syncing is enabled) I disable it (clicking in the 'syncing enabled' text).
This produces a crash every time.
What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
5.20140320 in Debian sid and testing
Please provide any additional information below.
This is all I can see in the logs
Watcher crashed: PauseWatcher
[2014-03-26 08:54:57 CET] Watcher: warning Watcher crashed: PauseWatcher
How did you install git-annex? Is this Debian Linux?
I have not been able to reproduce a crash. It's indeed the case that a PauseWatcher exception is thrown, but the Watcher explicitly catches that exception.
Yes, this is Debian Linux and I've been able to reproduce it in i386 and amd64. git-annex is installed from the Debian repositories.
I'll try to continue testing the issue and will report back if I can find any useful info.
So we have the same version of git-annex from the same build, and only you see the problem. Hmm..
You mentioned that you see the problem if you disable syncing at a particular time. Does it only crash at that time, or at any time?
If you create a brand new empty repository and run the webapp in it, can you reporoduce the problem there? Ie, "mkdir test; cd test; git init; git annex init; git annex webapp"
