Support Bug Reports
1

Bug description:
Running a valid python repl (from another owner) that plays audio crashes in cover mode, but works if you fork the repl (or if you own it/edit it)

Expected vs Current Behavior:
repl audio libraries should not crash in cover mode (even if they refused to work)

Steps to reproduce:
run the repl
enter 10 seconds for count down, 1 second for increment, 5 seconds for count up
program crashes in cover mode with this output:

What is the starting count down value in seconds?: 10
What is the count down increment in seconds?: 1
How many seconds after launch is engine cut off?: 5
time 10

Hi @cstutormarin !

This is a known error.

Here are some tips to fix this problem:

Make sure that the .replit file has audio=true.

Hi Alex,

That does not appear to work for me:

This below with the link provided still crashes when playing that repl from cover page using a different account.

This seems like a crash bug that has been out there for a while.

entrypoint = "main.py"
audio = true
modules = ["python-3.10:v18-20230807-322e88b"]

hidden = [".pythonlibs"]

[nix]
channel = "stable-23_05"

[deployment]
run = ["sh", "-c", "python3 main.py"]
