Console dialogs does not appear and freeze script about pythonista-issues HOT 7 OPEN

Try this

@ui.in_background
def copy_action(sender):
	#clipboard.set(sender.superview['label1'].text)
	#hud_alert('Copied')
	import console
	if console.alert('Copy warning'):

I can't find the topic, bad search arguments I guess, if you could already read this one https://forum.omz-software.com/topic/1156/console-input_alert-freeze

from pythonista-issues.

And this one https://forum-new.omz-software.com/topic/1119/can-t-show-an-alert/2

from pythonista-issues.

Here’s a reproducible case.

Open up the example file called “ColorMixer.py” under “User Interface”.

Change this function:

def copy_action(sender):
	clipboard.set(sender.superview['label1'].text)
	hud_alert('Copied')

To this:

def copy_action(sender):
	if console.alert('Copy warning'):
		clipboard.set(sender.superview['label1'].text)
		hud_alert('Copied')

The script will hang when you press the ‘Copy’ button.

Thanks! This fixed the problem in my script!

Does this mean @ui.in_background is how you should do it, or is it a workaround?

In the past, we did not need this line except in some cases, thus it is a workaround and you could find a very good explanation of @JonB in the forum, if I find it again, I'll post it here

Thanks :)
