Description

Hello,
When attempting to load R scripts into QGIS2.18.9, the application shuts down with no error message. Poof...just vanishes. I am running OSX10.11.6. So, I installed the LTR version (2.14.15) to test the issue and it still crashes. I deleted the /~qgis2/ folder just to be sure that there wasn't a holdover issue with changing versions, but it still crashes. I also double-checked the paths in the Processor Settings and they are just fine. Installed scripts run fine, but I can't fetch or get information on any new ones. Just to test, I checked the same function in Models (Processing Toolbox>Models>Tools>Get models from on-line scripts collection) and it also crashes without an error message. Same thing for the general Scripts tool.

I've looked extensively to troubleshoot this issue, but can't find anything. Any thoughts on what this might be or possible solutions?

Thanks,
David

The issue isn't fixed. I just downloaded 2.18.13-1 and tried to load in online scripts and it crashed again. This time, I got an error message, though. (Sorry, I accidentally didn't copy the entire message and now when I reopen QGIS and try to access online scripts, it crashes without an error message.)

does it really contain the fix?

search for

python/plugins/processing/gui/GetScriptsAndModels.py

in your system and check if the lines were removed in the fix are still there

afb49eca29652635e782187f54216341766c5f9f

(check also if by chance you have an old Processing version in ~/.qgis2/python/plugins/ , if yes remove it).

"python/plugins/processing/gui/GetScriptsAndModels.py" doesn't exist in my .qgis folder (see screenshot). I also did a manual search for GetScriptsAndModels.py just to be sure it wasn't stuffed into another folder and it is nowhere to be found. I downloaded and installed all of the python, etc. frameworks from Kyngchaos yesterday--it is all up to date. This is pretty bewildering to me.

just checked, the fix is not in 2.18.13 for mac. If you apply the fix manually (use "sudo locate" to search for the file location) no more crash.

given the screenshot you linked, it's not in your .qgis folder (which is bound to QGIS 1.x versions) nor your .qgis2 folder you should look for the file but in your qgis.app folder in /Applications folder. Check the web how to open the contents of the .app (might be restrictions by default, I think).

Brilliant! Thanks so much for your help. I made the fix and learned more about my OS today. Cheers for the fix and the advice on how to apply it!

David
