EXC_BAD_ACCESS

Targets macOS
#1

Im getting a OSX exception randomly, it seems to be file access but its throwing XOJO out rather than giving an exception trap, anyone seen this?

Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000018

VM Regions Near 0x18:

Maybe the FolderItem is Nil when doing

... = fi.Name

Can you show us the relevant source code?

Reboot, whenever apps start crash crashing for bizarre reasons, it’s because the OS has gone a bit wonky.

#4

A common mistake I make is forgetting to check that the object is valid before trying to access properties & functions.

#5

has the item the folder item pointed to been deleted out from under your app ?
that can give some interesting behaviour
