Creating an incomplete subtask with the `-` bullet list symbol may result in an AttributeError (no attribute 'get_parents') on a nonexistent object on startup
I was just creating some tasks and this popped up, and it now seems to do that everytime I press backspace? I haven't restarted GTG yet, but I might after this to see if it persists
**Context:**
Global generic exception
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/app/lib/python3.9/site-packages/GTG/gtk/editor/taskview.py", line 200, in process
if self.detect_subtasks(text, start):
File "/app/lib/python3.9/site-packages/GTG/gtk/editor/taskview.py", line 302, in detect_subtasks
parents = task.get_parents()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_parents'
Software versions:
- Getting Things GNOME! v0.6
- CPython 3.9.9 (main, Nov 10 2011, 15:00:00) [GCC 11.3.0]
- GTK 3.24.34, GLib 2.70.5
- PyGLib 3.42.2, PyGObject 3.42.2
- Linux-5.19.6-200.fc36.x86_64-x86_64-with-glibc2.33`
Update, I think I fixed it without needing to restart, it seemed that having an open "-" for writing a task without anything next to it except the @ tags at the end of the task and that seemed to be conflicting
Interestingly enough, I encountered the same sort of issue recently when GTG unexpectedly crashed (for the first time ever) while doing some subtask creation/typing in a task, and I don't know exactly how I triggered it. It somehow didn't end up in any major problem, though I had to re-write my sub-tasks for it after restarting the app.
If you manage to figure out step-by-step reproduction instructions for this, this would be a good thing to test for when Diego's refactoring changes land in master eventually. Maybe this kind of torture case could even be part of a test suite somehow.
I'm not 100% sure this is the same bug, but it's on the same line, and here's a repro for v0.6:
- Open GTG. Press [+] to create a new task.
- Add a sub-task within the window.
- Add another sub-task under the first one.
- Indent the second sub-task so it's no longer highlighted.
- Un-indent the second subtask.
- Error is triggered.
