How to debug issue with dropping session / exit 1?

[colinjcahill]

Hi, I have had this problem periodically with gotodir since I installed it: sometimes when I go to a directory, it kills my terminal session. I use iTerm 2, so what it looks like is that the tab I am in disappears. This would happen if there is an exit 1 in the current process.

I'm not sure how to start debugging this. I don't see a log file in the node_module. any suggestions?

Hi, so it crashes when you use to <directory-name> command? Is it nondeterministic, or happens for particular directories?

yes that's right. so far I haven't found any pattern. here is what I am seeing:

• Happens with any entry in gotodir list
• Happens independent of where the entry is in the list
• Is repeatable in a given session. So if I restore a crashed iterm tab and attempt to <dirname> again, it will crash again
• I will confirm, but I believe that the issue is session-dependent. So if I crash going to a folder name in one session, I believe that I can access it properly with the same command in another terminal tab.

I think the best clue so far is that I believe it is session specific. I'll add more details to this comment as I encounter them
