Loading hackernews and weather crashes server
aroach opened this issue · comments
When I try to run the hackernews script, the server is throwing the following error. I'm on MacOSX 10.13.4 running Python 2.7.10 in a virtualenv. This also occurs when running the weather app.

objc[51392]: +[__NSPlaceholderDictionary initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called. We cannot safely call it or ignore it in the fork() child process. Crashing instead. Set a breakpoint on objc_initializeAfterForkError to debug.
Not sure if there is anything I can do to help. I do happen to have a Mac, but I mean, I don’t think I can change anything in x84?
You can try this with the environment variable. I don’t really like x84’s threading+forking model, I was much younger and inexperienced when I designed it :)
Best wishes and have fun!!!
@jquast no worries. i came across that article as well, and it seemed to explain what's happening. guess I can just run it in linux or docker... :-)
FWIW, setting the envvar resolved the issue:
OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES x84
