Just wondering if anybody is observing frequent crashes…
I use Nova almost 24-7, I literally do not close the App, lots of tabs, splits, etc, it is my work horse!
Usually Nova crashes after so many days being open, and I never minded that. Yet now on 11.6 and 11.4 is crashing almost every day. For example this week it crashed on the 9/26, the 27 and 28.
I have troubleshooted my own personal extensions, disable extensions and no longer think it has anything to do with my extensions.
The crash reports don’t seem to show a pattern (at least one I can identify).
Any suggestions will be appreciated…
Im on Ventura (13.3.1), MacStudio Pro (2022).

It’s the same situation for me. I’ve also been experiencing an unusual and daily amount of hard crashing, which is very frustrating. Also because there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it, it just happens.

Oh, I’m definitely worried to hear that!
Would either of you be able to provide your crash reports, so we can potentially figure out why it’s happening to you? As well as any potential reproduction steps if you have them, although I understand under these circumstances that might be difficult to nail down.

I started saving the crash reports, I have 3 (reports) from this week.
Before yesterday’s crash I disabled all extensions again and it still crashed, albeit I did not reopened Nova.
I will try to isolate and test all the extensions to see if I find anything. I kept the Extension Console on yesterday for a long while and I did not see any errors there, nor have seen anything with the NovaExtensionService in the OS Console.
So far I don’t not recall a pattern leading to the crashes, but will continue to test and observe.

Here’s one from just now: Nova crash report · GitHub
I’ve also sent several using Nova’s built-in crash reporter with the email sam@gwil.garden.

@gwil My last crash and the one before are extremely similar to yours!
Do you recall scrolling (mouse, scrollbar or keyboard) ? Were you using splits? What languages (syntax) are you working with?

Tonights crash as soon as started using Nova again. All I did was switch from on editor to another (different windows/projects), not 100% sure if I had jus copied something.
and on this crash I lost all the changes I was working on!

Do you have an email to send my reports?

I am working with TypeScript most of the time. I have either 2-3 splits, and use a mouse and a trackpad at the same time. A lot of the time my monitor is connected to two external displays.
Interesting. I have also seen a slight increase in crashes, but I always assume that it’s one of my own little-maintained extensions misbehaving. I’ve also got several “generations” of extensions, some of which more than two years old, and I suspect that they might interfere with newer, more frequently updated ones.
The crashes seem to occur with a situation which is not uncommon in my system — other applications crash as well: usually, it’s after a combination of several keys with modifiers (e.g. Shift-A and Ctrl-B with Cmd-T…) while having something on the clipboard… and while dragging & dropping folders across the UI, and/or furiously typing on the keyboard at 100+ words per minute. I always like to think of this as The Application Killer Sequence From Hell — sooner or later, any application will die that way, not just Nova. Browsers are usually the most affected, as well as poorly programmed editors.
The reports are being sent to Nova under my usual email address, but I’ll remember to add them here as well, if it helps…

If any specific file or files in general seem to be more succeptible to this, it’d help me a ton if I could get a copy. At the moment, one of the crashes that Sam has described is in our text layout engine, and while I can see where it’s happening, I’m not sure why , so having something to help with reproduction would likely help me start to figure out where the math is going wrong.

Thanks for the additional reports. I’ve been having a heck of a time reproducing this or tracing exactly why it’s happening.
I’ve made some changes in a new build that I hope might alleviate some of it, especially the text layout crash. If someone wouldn’t mind testing it out for me, it’d help a lot:
