Launcher crashing on start
Posted: Fri Jan 05, 2024 9:41 am
Was working fine 15 minutes ago, now suddenly it doesn't start any more. When I run the binary, I see the main screen for about half a second but the news page is blank, and then it crashes.
I don't know the framework very well, but guessing from the stack trace it looks like it's having trouble fetching the news page and is getting a null instead? I'm on a flaky wifi connection so it may well be a transient issue on my end (although: other internet things work fine, such as making this post). So: is this happening to other people too? Also, should I file a bug report? I'm inclined to, since crashing is always a bug IMO even if the user is at fault (I would argue that the exception needs to be caught and handled if possible, and if not the user should receive a clean message explaining what's wrong), but staff might have a different opinion so I thought I'd ask first.
