macOS: The program seems to be silently crashing

[ymaniz09]

I noticed that after a while, the bot stops, and the UI disappears:

I wasn't able to spot anything on the execution logs:

Please let me know if/how I can provide more meaningful information about this issue =]

[wutkaru]

Could you provide for more information ?

I try to run install and just customize script requirements.py on my MacBook that throw error in ttkthemes~=3.2.2

• macOS: Sonama
• Chip: M3

 import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_tkinter'

[ymaniz09]

I created a venv for Python 3.12.4, and after activating it, I just ran python pokebot.py.. I haven't interacted directly with requirements.py.

Usually, it works as expected:

The bot usually works as expected for a few hours. From time to time, I notice the blank screenshot that I attached above.

macOS: Sonama
Chip: M1

Thank for information
Update after using venv and ran pokebot.py

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['/Users/wukaru/venv/bin/python3', '-m', 'pip', 'install', '--disable-pip-version-check', '--no-python-version-warning', 'ttkthemes~=3.2.2']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

Error in ttkthemes module when try to install maybe same as before I was found

@ymaniz09 After I was setup env path then I can run bot on MacOS

Now testing if I found some as you found this issue will update later

[ymaniz09]

Thank you!

I'm running four bots here in parallel:

It takes a while, but usually, it's easy to reproduce.

(I never spotted it on Windows, so I'm suspecting it might be related to generating the notification when the bot finds a target)

[hanzi]

If you suspect that it's due to desktop notifications, you can disable those by editing profiles/logging.yml.

Find the line that says

desktop_notifications: true

and change it to

desktop_notifications: false

[ymaniz09]

I beleive we are in a good direction:

• After disabling the desktop_notifications, I noticed all bots were still running this morning =]
  
• Still, the other bots are not receiving my input. Bot mode, emulation speed, and other settings work, but when I try to control the game manually, it will not answer.
• So it seems it might be related to the functions that are called when a target Pokemon is found 🤔
