App crashes again if menu is opened

Post by mibru » March 2nd, 2023, 7:37 am

The ErgData app crashes if you have the menu opens through saving.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Setup bikeerg and open ErgData app
2. Setup a training
3. Do the training
4. Open the menu before saving the results and leave it open
5. Finish the training

Result: app crashes and doesn’t save and sync results. Not possible anymore

Expected result: app saves the results and syncs them

Simple fix. Save the row in ErgData before you screw with the menu!
Basically, you’ve been closing the session while the PM5 is in the middle of offloading ALL the data.
I’ve been bitten by this “hurry up” syndrome myself and had to manually upload from the PM5 to the logbook. Patience is a virtue.

Good work around.

I think the SW devs will be very happy to see a repeatable scenario that causes a crash, and will fix the underlying bug if Mibru sends them a note. "Result: app crashes " is not what anyone intends.

Send an email to info@concept2.com as the Ergdata developers don't follow this forum.

Tsnor- I don’t think of it as a workaround or problem. I think especially in situations where you stop an interval set after ‘x’ cycles and many other situations, the app & the PM5 need a little time (10-15 sec) to shore data. Hitting the PM5 menu button disrupts that sharing.

Cool. Understand your point.

In my world code is *NEVER* allowed to crash because the user hits buttons or gives nonsense input. " the app & the PM5 need a little time (10-15 sec) to store data." and they can create that time however they like including null response to buttons, masking for interrupts, etc. But the code cannot crash or lose data or give wrong answers. If you ask a user to wait a few seconds in product messages or documentation you STILL have to put in the defensive code that prevents crashes, lost data and incorrect results.
