State file missing and subsequent key errors

[samuelallister]

Hello,

Installation source:
I added [email protected]:bit-team/backintime.git as upstream remote and pulled the latest changes with git pull upstream dev

Issue:
When I run ./backintime-qt i get the following errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
[lines removed]
  File "/home/samoore/.pyenv/versions/3.12.6/lib/python3.12/pathlib.py", line 1013, in open
    return io.open(self, mode, buffering, encoding, errors, newline)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/samoore/.local/state/backintime.json'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
[lines removed]
  File "/home/samoore/bit/common/statedata.py", line 70, in last_path
    self._state['gui']['mainwindow'][
KeyError: 'last_path'

I then run touch .local/state/backintime.json and the program now runs but when I exit i get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/samoore/bit/qt/app.py", line 885, in closeEvent
    profile_state.last_path = pathlib.Path(self.path)
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/home/samoore/bit/common/statedata.py", line 70, in last_path
    self._state['gui']['mainwindow'][
KeyError: 'last_path'
Aborted (core dumped)

It may be worth noting that I had to edit /common/backintim and /qt/backintime-qt to point to my ven as they were originally pointing to /usr/bin/python3. Perhaps there's some issue with my setup?

I'm seeing the same thing.

That's a bit embarrassing. 😶‍🌫️
I know the cause and work on a fix and further testing.
