Error appears in terminal about jump HOT 6 CLOSED

What OS are you running jump on?

You may try to remove the internal JSON database. You can do that with rm ~/.jump/scores.json.

from jump.

Platform is Linux.

Removing the json did the trick. Thanks!

Please, ping me if it happens again. I'm curious what might have corrupted it.

Thanks for trying out jump!

I was seeing a similar error when running this script a few times in a row: https://media.pragprog.com/titles/bhtmux/code/scripting/reattach/development

That script does a few asynchronous cd commands. I suspect that jump is not protecting itself against multiple instances writing the json files.

I suggest jump to:

1. test its json-files before using them (and suggesting to delete them when corrupt)
2. allow the user to delete them with a command line option
3. itself to be thread safe

from jump.

I'll try to prevent multiple instances fighting for the scores update.

from jump.

Try out 0.7.0. I have put an advisory lock around the internal files write. Hopefully, this prevents issues like this one in the future.
