How to debug python "thread seems to have ended unexpectedly"?

[heggink]

I use a bunch of python plugins (buienradar, kodi, macpres, NUT, Tradfri, harmony) some of which use urllib. My suspicion is that this is the cause of getting regular "thread seems to have ended unexpectedly" errors in the log. I struggle to identify which plugin may be the cause. Anyone (@dnpwwo ?) any ideas on how to debug effectively? Every now and then, the whole python plugin system goes haywire and starts spitting these out for all my plugins every other second completely flooding the log with errors. At that point, only a restart seems to work.
Thanks in advance!

@heggink,

The "thread seems to have ended unexpectedly" messages do not come from the plugin framework itself, they come from the Domoticz 'Watchdog' process that is supposed to log when a piece of hardware (plugin or otherwise) has been unresponsive for greater than 30 seconds.

Sounds like one of your plugins is never returning from a callback.

Determining which one is not easy (unless you upgraded one recently and the problem started). If it happens regularly you can shut them down one at a time using a process of elimination.

If you can send the output to a file you could add a

Code: Select all

Domoticz.Debugging(128)

line to all the onStart functions and the framework will log the calls to all callbacks so you can see the last one that is called before the other messages start.

If I add the debugging to every plugin and restart the lot then I would see which ones are executed and finish and don't finish, before the warning kicks in, correct? Since I use multiple instances of the same plugin in a couple of cases, the elimination process is quite tedious.
My logging is in the syslog anyway (ie a file) so that's already taken care of.
Thanks for the quick reply btw. Much appreciated.

Did you figuren out what the problem was? I have it every full hour
