#2244 Exception in initializer error

[Anonymous]

I've instelled DocFetcher via snapd at my system with elemantaryOS 5.1. After starting the program I get an error messagew in a window named ExceptionInIntializationError with the content shown behind:

Because I'm not able to find the file /snap/docfetcher/4/opt/docfetcher/stacktrace_20220408_0747.txt
it is not possible to show the complete trace message :-/

How can I solve this problem?

Hi,

instead of using the snap package, you can try portable DocFetcher from the DocFetcher website.

Duplicated bug report: https://sourceforge.net/p/docfetcher/bugs/2246/

I do not believe that # 2246 is a duplicate of this bug, as it describes another effect. I can not imagine that # 2244 causes an access error to a directory outside home, though access to a directory within Home works - - even if both errors occurred together.
But I will try your proposal ...

With the portable version of docfetcher **docfetcher-1.1.25-portable.zip ** I get also an ExceptionInInitializationError. I've attached the stacktrace to this report.

I have tried it with GTK2 and with GTK3 ...

It seems inotify is not correctly installed on your system. You can either try to fix that, or (re-)build all your indexes with the "Watch folders for file changes" option turned off in order to prevent usage of inotify.

Will be fixed in DocFetcher 1.1.27.
