Comment (by reneeotten):

hi Frank,

sorry for the trouble, but I am afraid that I cannot reproduce it... A
quick Google search suggests that it has likely to do with Qt /
QtWebEngine. What versions for ports related to Qt have you installed and
which OS are you on?

I'm seeing this on High Sierra.

I didn't think I had a choice of versions for Qt5.

I have the same ports installed, also using High Sierra. I have upgrade my
XCode to 10 as well, but the ports were installed before that; did this
happen for you with a new compilation from source after installing XCode
10? In other words, when did it start? I will try to reinstall later today
and see if I can reproduce the problem.

Comment (by mf2k):

I don't remember to be honest. I often uninstall all of my ports and start
over, but I don't remember the last time I did that. So it could be either
way for me. :)

Comment (by mf2k):

Part of the difficulty in reproducing this issue is that the buildbot for
High Sierra uses Xcode 9. So I likely have a mix of ports built with Xcode
9 and Xcode 10.

Comment (by reneeotten):

I tried to re-install all qt related ports with Xcode 10, but
{{{qt5-qtwebengine}}} fails... (potentially related to
[https://trac.macports.org/ticket/57193 this ticket]?). So I cannot test
right now whether the issue is caused by Xcode or not. Do you see the same
with {{{py-spyder-devel}}}?

Comment (by reneeotten):

I must say that I don't know where to look... I can still not reproduce
the issue and see no reports on the Spyder GitHub. All Google-search
suggest its in Qt5/Qt5Webengine, and likely related to the graphic
card/driver.

One more thing that is perhaps worth trying is to do {{{export
SPYDER_DEBUG=3}}} before starting {{{spyder}}}. That will print debug
messages in the terminal, perhaps that gives a clue on what starts the
stream of error messages. Just out of curiosity, does spyder actually
start/work correctly besides the messages?

Yes, it does work. But if I keep it running for a long time, it takes a
while to quit, probably because of the enormous log file generated.

Here is the debug output:

Comment (by reneeotten):

no, I don't see any of these messages. In your case that starts after
{{{Loading help...}}}, we can try and check if that does anything to
trigger the error... Out of curiosity what is your graphics card (mine
says "Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB). Oh, now I think of it: did you
remove the .spyder3-36 in your home directory and tried again, just in
case there is some weird configuration setting?

My graphics card is "AMD FirePro D300 2048 MB". This is the latest Mac
Pro.

I removed all of the .spyder but it didn't help.

I also tried removing all of my ports and reinstalled it from scratch.
Same problem.

This is a recent problem for me. Possibly coinciding with the upgrade to
Xcode 10, but I'm not certain.

This issue appears to be coming from qt5 and it is in the Chromium code.
Cc'ing qt5 maintainer for possible comment.

Comment (by reneeotten):

hi Frank,

I just upgrade to Mojave, reinstalled my ports and all still works as
intended. The issue is clearly with the graphics card and as you said
likely with the qt5 code.

I just opened a PR that updates spyder-devel to its latest version. When
looking into that I noticed there is a command line option called {{{
--opengl {software,desktop,gles} OpenGL implementation to pass to Qt}}}.
Spyder has changed their default now to "software". Perhaps you could try
these different options and see if that helps (of note, this flag is not
present in Spyder 3.3.1)?

Another suggestion is to try and disable the gpu hardware acceleration,
from this [https://doc.qt.io/qt-5.11/qtwebengine-debugging.html#using-
command-line-arguments link] it suggest one can do that by using the
environment variable {{{QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS}}}.

I installed py36-spyder-devel and the problem is gone now. Thank you! I
suppose we can close this ticket when the fix makes it to py-spyder.
