Loading Tasks error in Monitor

Hello,

In some cases the monitor can’t load the tasks list :

here is the console log as soon as I click on the Job :

2014-04-15 17:08:24:  Error occurred while updating task cache: Input string was not in a correct format. (System.FormatException)

and after a few minutes only one task will show up with just a few information and the following will be log in console

2014-04-15 17:09:13: Traceback (most recent call last): 2014-04-15 17:09:13: File "DeadlineUI\UI\Models\TaskListProxyModel.py", line 68, in onRowsInserted 2014-04-15 17:09:13: KeyError: u'' 2014-04-15 17:09:19: Error occurred while updating slave cache: Input string was not in a correct format. (System.FormatException) 2014-04-15 17:09:24: Error occurred while updating task cache: Input string was not in a correct format. (System.FormatException)

We also have a lot of those : (but don’t know if it’s related)

Sorry for the late reply here François,

This problem is caused by a number formatting bug within the Slave panel. We try parsing the progress text to calculate the percentage for the progress bars. This parsing fails when in a region that uses commas as decimals. Comme en Français.

To see if it helps, could you try setting the locale in Windows to use a period as a decimal place?

We have fixed this bug in 6.2, but it’ll be a while still until we release it.

Here’s a handy screen-grab to find the setting to change in Windows as a temp work-around until v6.2 is released, where as Edwin said, it’s already fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
