#626 error message upon launching

[TomScat]

Good morning,

I installed this version https://www.hpcoders.com.au/ravel-3.8.0-alpha.3.exe earlier this week.
Upon opening there appeared an error message "get_value < integer > called on real value".

Were you doing something else other that just opening the application? I did that as a "smoke test" before releasing.

Also, if possible, could you run it from the command line. Open up the "cmd" app by putting "cmd" in the search box/cortana/bing chat/copilot box - whatever Micorsoft are calling it this week. Then cd to c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\minsky and run "ravel".</username>

There should be an exception reported on the console. It would be helpful to have the context around that exception, notably the stack trace.

1) There is a browser (Firefox) running on the background.

2) Looking at the taskmanager it tells me that there are 8 apps running, 111 windows processes, and 148 Background processes. :-(

3) The console is the cmd window? I get the following feedback: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\minsky>
05:46:16.179 > Async Rest API: minsky.canvas.renderFrame {parentWindowId:"1444592",offsetLeft:0,offsetTop:162,childWidth:1370.4000244140625,childHeight:545,scalingFactor:1.25} =>Exception caught: get_value< integer > called on real Value</user>

So it might have to do with the scaling ratio of my screen. (I'll try it with that factor set to 100% later today and let you know.)

Yes, it does, but the error has to do with the non-integral value of
childWidth. I will need to apply a Math.round() operation to those
parameters.

Thanks - that was very helpful.

This issue also affects 3.7.3, and probably earlier releases. I shall get another 3.7 patch release out shortly fixing it.

Changed the arguments to type double to prevent conversion issues at the JSON layer.
