I ask you to help in a solution, it is not clear why the InDesign is freezing when performing the script from the UXP plugin, not at every start, but once. It can perform several functions several times well, and then it freezes on the same functions ...

After some time, such an error appears:

Same or differrent INDD file(s)?

 

Do you have MISSING linked files in your INDD file?

 

...

 

Have you Googled for the reason of the exception?

 

Not restricted to a specific application, the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error message occurs while using almost any application on your computer. Usually, the error message pops up when the application you are trying to run tries to access a protected memory address.

 

Try to download some memory checker / stresser tool and test your memory modules - depends on the machine it could be possible to do it from BIOS - at least on DELL workstations but they use registered memory modules.

 

But first - try to reseating them in the slots - if not soldered to the motherboard...

 

Or you have a virus or bad sectors on your drive.

Thanks for the answers above.

 

@Anoop Valomkot I made a plugin menu for cleat text overrides, formatting text and tables, using the example of the clear overrides menu, as a rule, in most cases the script will work correctly, but sometimes Indesign just freezes, no errors in the console, nothing. I am attaching the function code.

 

ClearOverrides.idjs // =========================================
const { app, ScriptLanguage, UndoModes } = require("indesign")
const {
  create_wrapper,
  back_to_menu,
  watch_selection,
  run_done,
  clean_err,
  set_progress,
  get_stories,
  catch_error,
} = require("./functions.js")

function zco_main() {
  const script_name = "Clear Overrides"
  const doc = app.activeDocument

  const [z_wrapper, z_main_wrapper] = create_wrapper()

  z_wrapper.innerHTML = `
    <sp-action-button quiet id="z_title" class="z_title">

When InDesign freezes, it does not show console.log("Clear Overrides"), although this is the very beginning of manipulating objects in InDesign. When it runs normally, it does. Sorry for my English.

@AntonN I would need the whole plugin to reproduce this issue and investigate. The information shared about the crash is very generic and doesn't help me with the details on what caused it. I also doubt if I can just run the snippet shared by you, it seems to be importing other files. Would you please reach out to me on slack or via email?

 

Please also try the plugin on 19.0 prerelease build and let me know, there are stability fixes in those builds.

@HARSHIKA_VERMA Hi! Thank you for your attention to this problem, it still exists unfortunately. The plugin randomly freezes when calling the app.doScript function, and after that it is no longer possible to work normally with documents in InDesign. Moreover, Indesign does not give an error, but the spinner simply spins endlessly. @Anoop Valomkot asked me to send him a spindump from a Mac, but I don’t have access to it, but I sent him a memory dump from Windows in a private message, I haven’t received a response yet. By the way, in Indesign 18.5, this random freeze happened more often, starting from version 19 it is less common, but is still present. The bug fix list on your website states that the random freezing bug when running app.doScript from a plugin is fixed in version 19, but this is not the case, unfortunately.
