unclear crash and error message

[PaulSoderlind]

running a script in Julia 1.10.0-beta3, Win 64. Has happened several times. Does not happen in 1.09.
line 51 calls on XLSX, so maybe that's the problem?

[gbaraldi]

Can you share the code you use to reproduce this?

[PaulSoderlind]

I'll try to put together an example.

[PaulSoderlind]

I have tried create a small example, but failed. It seems as this happens only now and then - and after running the same code several times, sometimes with error("stop here") inserted somewhere.

The line where the code block that seems to crash is this:

 XLSX.openxlsx(File) do fh
      data = isCA ? fh[sheet] : fh[sheet][:]
    end

where isCA is false in this run.

I did manage to capture a longer error message:

Seems fixed in 1.10.0-rc3. Cannot reproduce it any more.
