Troubleshooting#

Specvizitor won’t launch#

If you run specvizitor for the first time, you might encounter the following error:

...
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for |: 'type' and 'NoneType'

This means that you are using an older version of Python than the version required to run specvizitor (3.10 and higher). You can install Python 3.10+ using conda, for example.

Widget(s) disappeared from the GUI#

If a sidebar widget (e.g., Object Information) has disappeared from the GUI and you want to bring it back, right click on the empty area in Toolbar or Menu and click on that widget from the dropdown menu:

What to do if none of the above helped#

  1. Check the console output - error messages can help you to pinpoint the exact source of the problem.

  2. Update specvizitor - some bugs might have been fixed in the latest version.

  3. Reset specvizitor to its initial state:

    >> specvizitor --purge
    

Warning

Running specvizitor with the --purge option will erase user-defined paths, custom widget configurations and other application settings.

Note

Running specvizitor with the --purge option will NOT affect any inspection files (*.csv).

  1. Open issue on GitHub.
