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, navigate to View ‣ Docks and click on the widget’s name.

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 reset all application settings.

Note

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