I'll load it up and take a look. I'm decompressing Windows 0.19.17108 portable as I type. I'll use it to check it out.

Thanks,

Afternoon,
Here is my troubleshooting report using the OS/FC setup pasted at the end of this message.
  1. Opened FC no problem
  2. Opened provided file with immediate error in Report Panel:

    Code: Select all

    No extension found of type 'PartGui::ViewProviderAttachExtension
  3. Switched to Path workbench without error
  4. Clicked on top face of model: Face8
  5. Clicked on Pocket Shape icon (red circle in attached image)
  6. Selected "T8: 10mm 2 flute endmill" for tool controller and clicked OK
  7. Pocket Shape settings appear in Tasks tab in Combo View with errors in Report Panel:

    Code: Select all

    PathPocketShape.ERROR: extendWire(): (ePts[0] - endPts[0]).Length
    PathPocketShape.ERROR: list index out of range
    PathPocketShape.ERROR: extendWire(): (ePts[0] - endPts[0]).Length
    PathPocketShape.ERROR: list index out of range
    Exception (Mon Jun 24 11:31:31 2019): Access violation  
    PathPocketShape.ERROR: extendWire(): (ePts[0] - endPts[0]).Length
    PathPocketShape.ERROR: list index out of range
    
    These errors are related to `extensions` feature and should not be the source of any failure. Another observation is that the stock appears directly above the model in the viewport rather than enclosing it as it should. (see image) This could be a source of a problem in path operations.
  8. Click OK with no changes to settings.
  9. Operation produces expected paths - too many steps(layers) is due to stock setting on top of model, rather than enclosing it. (see image)
After the above steps, I edited the 'house-Job'. In the 'Setup' tab I clicked the 'Refresh' button in the 'Layout' section. I clicked OK to save changes. I selected the 'Pocket_Shape' object created in steps above and recomputed it. This yielded the proper paths displayed in the last image with only one step(layer).

I did not encounter any crashes or fatal errors.
This leads to a suspicion that the crash you are experiencing might be related to one or more of the following:
  • differences in OS
  • FC version differences (even though mine is quite close to yours) - a new commit after my version might be to cause
  • the error I received in step two above that had no noticeable effects on my machine other than the textual error message
  • (UPDATE) different Python or Qt versions
  • something else entirely different like solar flares...
Best wishes,
Russ

Thanks for your report and testing. I did not try to work around or fix the problem because it seems something that creates an all out crash needs fixing, even if some oddities like the boundaries maybe the cause, errors should be trapped and not crash FreeCAD.

This may be linked to "phantom paths " bug and I may be guilty of "going to the opera" before/after defining the job.

IIRC what I did here was create the sketch , pad +ve, add job, noticed that origin was not right. Went back and changed pad to "reversed", came back to same job ( ie not deleting and starting fresh job ). This presumably will no longer cause problems when Russ' PR is merged.

I know I keep moaning about lack of error checking, maybe this common practice in python, but even if something like phantom paths bug is setting the scene for this to happen it seems to me to show that some more low level error checking is needed instead of letting stuff assume everything is OK.

I'd like some thoughts on this from those writing the python code in FreeCAD.

OS differences likely explain different results. It seem Linux takes illegal memory accesses more seriously than Windows.

Opened provided file with immediate error in Report Panel:

I get no error on opening the file. The only thing I have changed from building master a couple of days ago, is replacing PathSurface.py t3 with w3 , and I have the extended tools enabled to get the 3D pocket tool ( which is not used here ).

I think that is due to you testing a virgin FC. I had the 3D pocket enabled.

Code: Select all

       try:
            l0 = (ePts[0] - endPts[0]).Length
        except Exception as ee:
            PathLog.error("extendWire(): (ePts[0] - endPts[0]).Length")
            PathLog.error(ee)
            return False
        else:
It seems that prior to the segfault the error has been trapped but it not aborted in the caller when it fails.

Just deleted the job, created a new one with the stock bounds showing correctly. Still get the same crash.

Added ticket number to thread title, issue #4035.
Inquiring if this is intended to be fixed for 0.19 or bumped to next version ?

Sir,
This bug might be fixed via some of the other fixes since 2019. I downloaded the original file and attempted to pocket the top surface indicated in this thread and it creates a path without error. Perhaps others could confirm whether the error remains or has been fixed.

Just something to point out, I noticed that you're using an older 0.19 revision. Current revision is 22670, FYI

The original file has some issues with the stock placement, but I was able to use the pocket operation without error.
