FreeOrion

The attached file is the crash information I got when I entered an invalid filename (test/2) for saving the game status (Tested with FreeOrion 0.3.13 on MacOSX 10.6.2)

Anything else I can (try to) provide? I looked for a FreeOrion log file, but didn't find any.

On Mac OSX, log files should be located here:

Username/Library/Application Support/FreeOrion/

Attaching the log files, ideally zipped, might be helpful.

I played around a bit more. It seems it is only triggered, if I chose an existing savefile name and edit that name (to an invalid one). If I just type in an invalid name, I get the "invalid filename" message and fine.

Attached the log. Thanks due to your reply I noticed that it is ~/Library/... and not /Library (where I looked initially when making the 1st posting)

Could you be a lot more specific about what steps you use to produce this crash? What do you click and type where, in what order, exactly? I've tried starting a game, going into the menu, clicking save, clicking an existing save file, then editing the filename to test/2 or adding /2 at the end of the existing name, but I always get an invalid filename popup when trying to save, and no crash. I'm on windows, though, so it could be a difference between versions...

I have an existing savegame file called test2(.sav).
Subsequently I tried to save the game under a similar name:
- I clicked on the existing test2.sav
- put the cursor between the characters "2."
- entered "/2" at that location
- pressed "save"

I can't reproduce that on windows. Perhaps it's OSX specific...?

Regardless, could you add a bug report about this to the sourceforge bug tracker?

I just found an important piece of information: confirm the filename using return key on the keyboard, don't use the mouse button to click 'save'. In both cases I see an 'invalid filename' message, but in the first case it's the last thing I see. So in order to summarize:

1) make sure to have a savegame called test2
2) load test2
3) open the file menu, choose 'save game'
4) choose 'test2.sav' and insert '/2' between the 2 and the dot or create any other invalid filename
5) press enter & see crash (bus error reported on console)

It worked for me 100% with the attached savegame and 0.3.13.

EDIT:
I made a bug report at sourceforge. And any invalid filename will do.
