Is 'leoclient' working for anyone ?

[Viktor Ransmayr]

Hello Edward & Felix,

I tried to run 'leoclient' in the latest 'devel' branch and receive the following traceback.

::

    📦[user@leo-on-debian leo-editor]$
    📦[user@leo-on-debian leo-editor]$ python3 -m leo.core.leoclient
    Traceback (most recent call last):

                           % threading.current_thread().name)
    RuntimeError: There is no current event loop in thread 'MainThread'.

It is not related to any of the latest changes, because it is not working in version 6.8.8 installed from PyPI either.

It is also not related to Python 3.14, because I receive similar error msgs for Python 3.13.

When was 'leoclient' tested successfully the last time ?

With kind regards,

Viktor

Thanks for this report. I see the same traceback. I have just created #4664.

PR #4666 is ready for review. Another case of the dreaded software rot. Tested on Python 3.10 and 3.14.

The PR improves logging in both the client and server. 

All comments and suggestions are welcome.

Hello Edward,

I tested the ' ekr-4664-leoclient.py' branch on Debian & Fedora w/o success !

When I try to start 'leoclient' I receive the following traceback:
