pythonw.exe has stopped working

[rahuldbhagat]

Hello Folks,

I'm using RIDE -- Robot Framework Test Data Editor
RIDE 1.3 running on Python 2.7.6.

When I click on some of my test case the RIDE GUI hangs and gives bellow error message.


[Window Title]
pythonw.exe

[Main Instruction]
pythonw.exe has stopped working

[Content]
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

[Close program]


It's strange that while it's able to open other test cases but fails on one particular test case. The distinguishing fact about the test case is that it is a big one using lots of keywords.

I know it might work if I split my test case but have any of you encountered this problem and knows how to fix it ? some fix like providing more memory or specifying some parameter when pythonw.exe starts?


Thank you very much in advance.

Cheers,

Rahul.

Sounds like you've run out of memory, and Windows has killed the process.

Install more memory?

It might help if you show us the code that crashes.

Reminds me of a Q&A column from my university's CS student newsletter in
the 80's. It went something like this:

Q. I finally managed to save enough money to buy a home computer. I
read the user manual and wrote my first BASIC program as follows:

20 GOTO 20

I started the program with the RUN command, and it has been
running since. What do I do now?

I am new to computers, so no tech jargon, please.

A. You can't expect shorter latencies in a computer in this price
range. What we suggest, at a bare minimum, is a RAM upgrade to at
least 64 kilobytes. The CPU might need to be replaced with the
recently released 8 MHz model as well. [...]

Run RIDE with python, not pythonw, from a command prompt, and you should
be error messages from python.
