[Bug] Kickbot stops working after so long since latest update

[SendMemesPlox]

Since the latest update to Kickbot I've been having problems with just general commands that worked before this update.
No matter how many times I've uninstalled/reinstall it doesn't matter.

100% I've always used Streamer.Bot for Twitch and using this for Kick has been amazing! Done so many cool things with it!

[gzusjankins]

Same for me i have automated host scenes setup as well as many other things its such a great app to use !

[Sehelitar]

Ok, so according to your logs, the issue is the same.
The bad news is the problem is located within LiteDB (this is a known issue) which is a Streamer.bot component I can't update/modify without breaking the bot itself.
The good news is that I should be able to work around this and prevent this error to crash the entire module.
I'll look into it ASAP !

[Jyojibh]

I appreciate you working on this so fast! and how amazing your support has been!

Your amazing would you like me to reachout to streamerbot and see if they cant get a fix for LiteDB? Maybe that will also save some time on the backend for you ! Thank you for working on this so quickly your a legend !

[GzusJankins1]

@Sehelitar any update on this ?

[Sehelitar]

I couldn't reproduce this problem on my machine, so I tried to implement a fix based on your logs.
I made a beta update to test this fix, along with a few other modifications.
More details and download link here : https://github.com/Sehelitar/Kick.bot/releases/tag/v0.4.0-beta.1

[Jyojibh]

So after a bit of "Testing" We seem to have been able to break it again, It does the same thing after so long of using things it sort of just stops working.

This is with the new v-0.4.0-beta.1 Log file below.

I made a new beta : https://github.com/Sehelitar/Kick.bot/releases/download/v0.4.0-beta.1/Kick.bot-v0.4.0-beta.2.zip
I bubble-wrapped everything. It won't solve the root problem but should prevent complete crashes of the bot.
This is a temporary fix while I'm working on a better solution.

I want to thank you for your patience and understanding, I know this kind of thing can be frustrating, but I'm confident this is fixable. 🙏

I truly appreciate you always being so awesome and helpful to the Kick Community! We all just want something that works so we all put in that effort to improve and fix things! So im always happy to help the community and yourself.

Thank you again, I will check things out and see how it goes.

[Jyojibh]

So been testing again and unfortunately it did hold up much longer, and it did work as intended but after I minimised it I got the windows sound to say it crashed.

Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this! Or the new fix works 😅 Do we know if the Lite DB issue will be solved any time soon?

The more I read about LiteDB, the more I hate it 😂
The bubble-wrap worked. So naturally LiteDB found a new way to crash in its own code so I can't fix it there. 🤡

I need some time to properly fix this (and maybe get rid of LiteDB...). In the meantime, if you need a stable bot, I recommend a rollback to SB 0.2.2 (a backup should be available in the bot's folder) until this is fixed.

[Jyojibh]

Would it be possible to get the updates to the actions for 0.2.2 SB Or will the latest update work with 0.2.2?

Thank you for your work this is great. My wuestion is if i roll back to sb 0.2.2 can i still use the kickbot ? Right bot i can trigger things manually after it crashes ? Im excited for the fix and thank you so much for even making this possible your amazing !

Hey Jankins,

If you roll back to SB 0.2.2 And then use the https://github.com/Sehelitar/Kick.bot/releases/tag/v0.3.11 Thats all working for me and works really well still! Haven't had any crash outs or anything yet! So would recommend using that for now!

Ok awesome thank you do i need to delete the current version of the kickbot in sb ?

[Jyojibh]

You can literally just download it, Copy the files directly over the SB files and overwrite the files from 0.2.2 onto the current folder and you should be good to go

[Sehelitar]

I did my best to replicate the conditions that lead to the exact problem you encountered, without success.
So I tried a different approach to fix it but I can't properly test it on my end 😢
If an adventurous mind wants to test it, it's available here :
https://github.com/Sehelitar/Kick.bot/releases/download/v0.4.0-beta.1/Kick.bot-v0.4.0-beta.3.zip
I'll keep my fingers crossed 🤞

Will this be the exact same as the beta or should i upgrade once again ?

[Sehelitar]

If everything is working fine as it is, then no, you won't have to upgrade. The current beta will become the new stable release.
