    For the past few days the scanning doesn't finish. It get to around page 150-174 but stops. I am running AuctioneerClassicSuite-5.0.PRE.2823.

    any ideas?

    hmm, i must be losing my mind.

    This seems to be a known issue with AC for some folks. Unfortunately, i don't think any of us have any real idea what is happening or why.

    Some additional debugging steps you might try:
    * Do an "/auc clear snapshot" just before scanning
    * Remove some categories (typically Trade goods, Armor, and/or Weapons) from the full scan and see if that help. Run those categories separately if needed.
    * Rename your entire Auctioneer database and do a scan, and see if it completes

    Let us know if any of these things are effective.

    i have the same problem.

    i tried the clear snapshot. it didnt work.

    i can scan all the categories except for 2 (both freeze even when i try to do them separately).

    HOWEVER, if i turn off Bottom Scanner. both scan no problem (however they still freeze but only for 10-15 sec on the same page)... but when bottom scanner is on.. it freezes at that page indefinitely.

    hope this helps. i signed up on this forum just to help with this bug lol

    Using Auctioneer Classic Suite PRE 2823

    it looks like its a particular item that it get stuck in a loop or something.

    This is probably completely unrelated... but for some reason planar essences (each 1) show up with a 3 next to it (like all of them have numbers 3 6 9 12 etc).. i dunno if this is related at all.. but Trade Goods was one of the places that wouldnt scan with bottom scanner on, and Planar essences are trade goods. (But it also froze on Containers).

    madhattr999 I have a theory. Can you try this replacement BtmScan/btmMain.lua, scanning with BtmScan running. BtmScan waits for the page to become completely ready (including seller info which doesn't arrive immediately) and it may be that that never happens for some reason. I added a timeout so it should give up after 20 seconds, but can't fully test it here because I can't repro the hang...

    Oh, and while I was testing the change BtmScan found a [Recipe: Elixir of Major Mageblood] for 75g, so it was worth it either way. :D

    looks like it worked... i scanned with bottom scanner on... it froze at page 42.... i had to shut it down, replaced the file and restarted wow and scanned against with bottom scanner on..

    and got stuck on 42 again but after 10 sec or so.. im guessing u put this debug message in that said "page scan timed out (510222.31)"...

    and then continued.

    looks like i was of help after all :D

    p.s. it happened more times

    (510300.297)
    (510343.332)
    (510419.751)
    (510487.1)

    im not a wow coder but im guessing those are the auction ids or something?

    my guess is maybe the auction creator deleted their character or got banned or something weird maybe and it cant get the seller data? (whatever that is)

    the timeout should be increased tho cuz its happening a lot.

    p.p.s. my latency is fine (138ms) by the way.

    Yay! Those numbers are system uptimes, in seconds. A day has 86400 seconds so your computer hasn't been rebooted in about 6 days. :)

    If you could, please keep an eye on it for a while to see if it really fixes it. I'll commit the change if it looks good.

    im pretty confident in my testing.. exact same circumstances.. and the exact same page the test failed without new file, and succeeded (after small delay.. the same delay as if btmscan was off) with the new file..

    i will let you know if i have any further problems while using the fix though.

    (and im not sure that can be MY computer up time... my computer randomly reboots at least once a day due to video card overheating lol.. unless it only counts hard reboots)

    Something like that. I have a few crafted items (e.g. my old, scratched, bloodied Arcanite Reaper) that show no creator name, presumably because the creator is long gone.

    I also had the AH scan freezing up when running bottomscanner at the same time. I installed the patched btmMain.lua file and now scanning with BTM running works fine. Thanks for the fix.

    Hmmm... It would be good to know the items it's freezing on (and whether it's a specific evaluator causing the trouble)...
    • CommentAuthorNine
    • CommentTimeFeb 24th 2008
     
    The evaluators don't get hit until the IsPageReady check passes, part of fix a while ago for BtmScan running too fast when piggybacking on Classic.

    (It's not needed with Advanced because its scanner tells BtmScan when the page is ready).

    Oh, thanks Nine, I was thinking it was a processing issue, but it's really just getting the data back from Blizzard then?

    Uh.. It looks like this change didn't go live. It was working fine until I decided to download the new version (I assumed this fix would be in it), and now the same problem is occurring again.

    hmm, you're right it was never committed. I'll give Nine a chance to commit it, but otherwise will just keep it loaded locally to make sure there are no issues here, then commit it myself.

    Haven't seen Nine in about a week, and have noticed no problems with it myself, so I am going to commit this for him.

    Sorry, I completely forgot about this. Knocked out with a cold for a week and apparently it wiped my brain. Thanks for submitting it, dinesh.

    Uh... I updated.. And the problem is occurring YET AGAIN lol

    I re-applied the patched file and it scanned through no problem, but there was no delay on the page that it froze on last time. (Usually, with the fix, it would pause for 20 seconds and then continue to the next page).... So it might be something else that caused it to freeze.

    Either way, my problem is solved with the file in this thread. (again)
