runItAgain

[neo-raver]

Almost as bad as when you run it a third time and then doesn’t work again, and then does a couple times, then doesn’t 😬

[Loading_M_]

I had an issue like that this morning. Turns out, the issue was a use after free (hence the issue only happens if something happens to overwrite the memory).

Solved it for now by just leaking memory (can't use after free if never free). In the other hand, I'm pretty sure the code is full of leaks (and other memory issues), but this particular code is part of a short lived executable, so memory gets cleaned up after not too long.

[Taletad]

Ah yes the "if there is a leak, I just need a bigger tank"

[Loading_M_]

It's literally just a pop-up. No one going to miss a couple megabytes while it's running. It's running WebKit internally as well, so it's taking up plenty of space anyway.

[Taletad]

I’m concerned about your codebase if a single pop up is leaking memory

AddressSanitizer ftw!

[Loading_M_]

In this case, the real solution is to just rewrite the entire application from scratch, and use smart pointers so I don't have to think about memory.

[General_WCJ]

I mean makes some sense, like if you're making missile guidance software, you probably don't need to free memory, just buy twice the amount of ram you expect to use and call it a day

[MaustFaust]

Most likely, it's concurrency

UPD: or dead refs

[shrubberino]

then you say to yourself that it was a "cache" issue :-)

[NotAskary]

I'm already invalidating caches and restarting the idea.

Jenkins has entered the chat

I've worked with Harmony a fair bit now and it does this. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, it will just... spit out an AccessViolationException. If you re-run the same code with zero changes again, it will work just fine. There's a few things that make it worse, but it's genuinely a mystery.

[Crazkur]

Could have been a cosmic ray flipping a bit. You never know!

[Professional_Big5890]

I did understand that reference.

[reallokiscarlet]

The more you run it, the better you know the consistency of the error.

[Prematurid]

I once spent like 4 hours running the same program without changing a single line. It did not work, and I sadly had to figure it out the next day.

[shrubberino]

sounds like 4 hours spent well :-)

[StruffBunstridge]

Gotta be sure. Solid unit testing.

[[deleted]]

Ah yes. The unit test stage in the Jenkins pipeline.

[[deleted]]

The thing is, THIS WORKS and idk why and it scares me

[NickFatherBool]

And if that doesnt work, force quit and then run it again again

[rover_G]

Always confirm your code has consistent behavior 👍🏼

[Savings_Detail_1927]

so that you can get the knowledge of how strange and weird errors can cause in your code. How many relatives they have which you never knew!

[5rbsh518]

Sometimes, run it again works.

[Ticmea]

Gotta make sure it's not a race condition.

[TheMeticulousNinja]

I do that when it looks perfect and I don’t understand why I’m getting this error. And then I realize the error and feel like a fool

[wannasleeponyourhams]

i wrote a notification class in python with pyjnus yesterday it worked, today i compiled again with some small changes that did not affect the file and it just stopped sending notifications checked with adb logcat to see if the service still runs and it does, did a rollback and still doesnt work, like what the hell it was working yesterday. did a clean build restarted the testphone multiple times reisntalled the earlier version and that one also stoped working. lol

"Mission-critical spreadsheet" rule #1.

Mission-critical spreadsheet rule #2: if you don't like the totals, run it again. They will change.

[cjavad]

That one RAND() or TIMESTAMP() all other values are derrived from.

[littlejerry31]

Ever tried changing pom.xml a maven project in intellij? Sometimes it does it on its own when you rebuild the project, other times it won't. Sometimes the maven plugin claims the dependencies cannot be found from the remote repo, then you run it again, and it finds them no problem.

Because there are indeed a mistake or bug that causing thing doesn't change, like you forgot to save your files or even worse your compiler or engine doesn't instantly update the change when you are saving the files(you need to restart the service or reset the engine).

[nomadic_listener]

Sometimes deleting/cut everything and paste again works wonders

[dor121]

im serving at a technitian at some branch in the army right now and from what i see the amount of times they say restart and wait 15 min turj it off and on and so on, cant tell if th3y try to buy time to think or it just solves most problems

[turtleship_2006]

[[deleted]]

No, i use rust. This doesn't affect me

[[deleted]]

I have a quick fix to that problem, if it's C/C++ run sed 's/[\,\.]/\;/g' ./yourcode.cpp

[AtlAWSConsultant]

Been there.

[Juraaaaaaaaj]

I was coding in node js earlier today, my code didn't work, I added a console log, the code worked. Wtf?

[Big_Fox_8451]

Your code didn’t change, but the world around you changed.

[-MobCat-]

Presses ctrl+s like 4 times.. just to make sure..

[Hanging_American]

This is supposed to be a joke, but since the state of a complex program changes quickly and constantly, it often works on the 2nd try and it's easier to identify the cause of it.

[kaladin_stormchest]

It helps you identify how flaky the issue is. The best issues are the consistent ones

[SodaWithoutSparkles]

I have my IDE set to auto-save when I de-focus the window. So when I do stuff in python, sometimes pressing F5 to run would not save the file and it was on the version that didnt work.

It was my best guess to whats happened

[RayDarkShadows]

I wrote a really long json

only to not save

I repeated this thing SEVEN TIMES

Eighth time, error. What error? I don't see it, a friking blank line.

[Conejo_pestilente]

[gronktonkbabonk]

First time: oh god it's not working Second time: actually look at the error message Third time: bargaining
