Sending #new to a class causes dev system to loop

[Louis LaBrunda]

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying the heat.

I'm in the windows development environment of V13.  Attached is a fileout of the class.  When I send it #new (which I haven't overridden) or #new: (which I have), the system goes into a loop.  Has anyone ever seen anything like this?  Sending #new to other classes works.

I have loaded the old version of the class and it has the same problem.  I'm going to try loading the old version of the app and see what happens.

I have made a bunch of changes to other apps but I can't imagine any reason why any of them would cause this.

It seems it is not looping but waiting on an OS event.  Older version of the same app does the same.

What do you see when single stepping through the instance creation in the debugger?

Hi Esteban and Richard,

Esteban emailed me the solution (apparently he had a problem posting it here).  Thanks Esteban.  I have a loop that waits until the current temperature is obtained.  I had code that ensured the temperature was obtained or would be shortly (the time it takes to read a small file from disk - not my idea - that is the way temperatures are obtained on a Raspberry Pi).  I moved when that code was called and made it so it would wait forever because no temperature was available.

Louis,

In the #printOn: of your class you have a #waitForTemperature method that enters into an infinite loop with a #whileTrue:, try removing that or changing the #printOn:.

Hey Esteban.

I got your email yesterday and fixed the problem.  The post above yours was me updating the group.  It was the kind of stupid error I would have found eventually but I decided to ask the group for help, then had lunch and by the time I finished, you had the answer.

Thanks again.

Lou
