[Robert C. Martin]

It looks like you must have clicked on a link. Do you know what message that was? The id of that message would be useful.

Do you know what message that was?

I'm afraid not. I just blindly clicked around (still trying to figure out how it can be useful to me)

[Robert C. Martin]

Try it again. I've surrounded that part of the code with a catch block so it shouldn't crash anymore. It will print a nice error message and you can report that back to me if you get it. I'm closing this issue now, if you see the problem again, open a new issue.
