Growl crashing on Network notification

[rubymatt]

I'm trying to use the ruby-growl gem library to do notifications from my Ruby application. This, in turn, uses UDP to talk to your growl instance.

From the system preferences I enabled the preference:

"Listen for incoming notifications"

However when I run the ruby-growl unit tests it seems to crash GrowlHelperApp on about the second or third run through. As you can see I am using Growl 0.7.3 on MacOSX 10.4.4

Can anyone help with this?

Regards,

Matt

From console.log:

GrowlHelperApp(2530,0xa000ed68) malloc: *** Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x9073baa8; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug

Hello,

I've exactly the same Problem, but using the php Script. Growl crashes when using the Script or the Commandline utility with special Characters (like '(').
I tried the Beta Version too (but it still shows 0.7.3!?), nothing changed...

Thanks in advance,
Keeper

Edit:
Ok, uninstalled 0.7.3, now is showing 0.7.4, but still crashes
BTW: Is there a way to add a new line!? And where do I find the log from Growl? Sorry, new to Mac ...

Why are you not using the ruby bindings included in the sdk?

[rubymatt]

Why are you not using the ruby bindings included in the sdk?

Thanks for the pointer!

My original answer was along the lines that I didn't realise there were Ruby bindings in the SDK.

I've checked them out and I guess I'm a little uncomfortable at the Ruby/Cocoa dependency. Nevertheless I'll give it a try.

Thanks again,

Matt

I'm not sure why you'd be uncomfortable with that, but you're more than welcome to change that.

Back to the original problem: can you describe a way to reproduce the problem? I've tried growlnotify with messages that contain various unicode characters but GHA doesn't crash.

[rubymatt]

Back to the original problem: can you describe a way to reproduce the problem? I've tried growlnotify with messages that contain various unicode characters but GHA doesn't crash.

On my system (with Listen for incoming notifications enabled):

Code: Select all

sudo gem install ruby-growl
cd /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-growl-1.0.1/
ruby -rubygems test/test_ruby-growl.rb

That will usually kill GrowlHelperApp.

Do you have anything in the password field?

Do you have anything in the password field?

I don't. I assumed that this was onlyl required if you check "Allow remote application registrations"

Hello,

Thanks, sorry for the stupid Question....
It now works for me, but to say the truth, I've no idea why... I played aroudn with Network Password (entered one, tried it and it worked, removed it and it still works). Very Confusing.... Sorry for this - not really detailed - report...

I'd like to find the original problem, but the ruby-growl test runs fine here:

How many times did you run it?

It does work the first time, but usually fails the second or third time through (when the GrowlHelperApp dies).

Regards,

Matt

[IngmarStein]

I've just completed the tests 15 times successfully...

[rubymatt]

I've just completed the tests 15 times successfully...

I'm not sure what to tell you then. It fails quite consistently here.

What do you suggest?

[IngmarStein]

Is there something printed to the console before the crash occurs?

[The_Tick]

So the only parts of a crash report I generally care about are these two:

The thread id:

Code: Select all

Thread: 0 

And the correlating crashing thread.

So if we look at this, something with md5 is crashing it. This is why I asked you if you had a password setup in your gui.

Ingmar, do you have a password setup?

All the others having this problem, besides rubymatt who has already answered, please let us know if you have a password setup.


Rubymatt, can you try putting a password in the password field?

[IngmarStein]

I know why you asked for a password, tick. However, the call to CSSM_DigestDataUpdate is guarded by a conditional (password && password->Length) so it could never be NULL here. I've tried both with a password set and without.

I figured you did, stated so for everyone else

[rubymatt]

Rubymatt, can you try putting a password in the password field?

Hrmm... i put a password in the field and, when i tested, there were no further crashes/test failures.

I then took the password out again and, once more, no more errors or crashes.

I now wish that I had tested before putting the password in.

I'm not sure what this proves, but I can say that ruby-growl doesn't appear to be making GrowlHelperApp crash anymore.

Matt
