Issues testing 3.6.1 beta
Tested the code night of Sept 16, with software up to a65413da (the latest commit at the time of testing). Found several major issues. Here is a list of all things:
-
Guiding with scheduler gets suspended right away and never restarts. I've tracked that issue down to this line, https://invent.kde.org/education/kstars/-/blob/master/kstars/ekos/capture/capture.cpp#L6060 but that line makes sure the exposure isn't a Light frame, and yet all I'm capturing are Light frames. Perhaps the getFrameType() is not set up yet? I commented out those lines, restarted, and guiding no longer gets suspended. This is a show-stopper for internal guiding. -
My guiding exposure gets reset to 1s on restart, even though I've set 5s several times. I can check again, but it has happened several times. Doesn't consistently happen, though. -
FIXED.
Polar alignment in refresh mode with the plate-solve scheme never refreshes. The move-star scheme works. I discovered that the refresh algorithm-choice parameter is not being set anywhere. It can't have always been this way...in any event, I've written !743 (closed) to fix it. Seems to work now in the simulator. -
When I first started, all tabs had many things disabled. I needed to change trains, then change them back to get things working. After that, on restarts, things worked. I'm guessing there's a stored parameter that isn't initialized at first. This happened on the simulator too. Leaving for you folks to debug. -
I suspect the guide tab is defaulting to the Primary train (it should default to Secondary). -
At the end of the night, the scheduler job finished, the scheduler shut down and should have parked but didn't. Perhaps it's not reading the "Shutdown --> Park Mount" parameter properly, similar to the other parameter issues?
