assert "IsValid()" failed in GetTicks(): invalid wxDateTime

[Jerome]

Hi.

I'm trying to run Hugin and when exporting (as jpeg), I get the following error:

assert "IsValid()" failed in GetTicks(): invalid wxDateTime

Pressing continue doesn't help. It loops in error.

When searching this on the web, I stumbled upon this bug report:

http://beersmith.com/forum/index.php?topic=4891.0

which suggests this may be related to a leap year issue. Interestingly, we happen to be the first of March. Maybe just a coincidence.

I get the same message when launching the "about" window, except pressing continue allows the window to appear.

I'm running Debian Jessie.

When the assert message pops up is there some kind of backtrace so we can see where the assert is triggered?

Yes. Sorry, I should have included that.

When opening "About" menu :

When exporting (in fact, whatever the export format):

I can save the .pto. The error is triggered while generating the .jpg
or .tiff file.

Thanks.
The issue with the about dialog I could reproduce (it triggers an other assert than in your initial report ;-). This is fixed in the repository (changeset 768b9649a243).

I was not able to reproduce the issue with PTBatcherGUI (error when stitching). But from the backtrace I added an additional check (changeset 0443fd122958). I hope this fixes the second one. Please report back if this works or not. TIA

Hi again.

I compiled latest version from Hg repo. It works fine (both about
menu and export function).

Then I checked out the commit before your fix:

hg checkout 768b9649a243

I recompiled and it also works...

I uninstalled to execute Debian version and the problem is still here.

Looks like the issues lies somewhere else.

I shall file a bug in Debian BTS.

I should have done that in the first place. Sorry about that.

Have a nice day and thanks for looking at it.

And BTW, thanks for Hugin. It is a great software.

There was already a bug report on something that looked similar,
although it was said to be fixed.

I posted there (it should appear with a little delay).

Solved in Debian thanks to your commits.

Thanks.
