Uploading/downloading mission times out

[AndKe]

interestingly: uploading mission fails with timeout, but the process actually suceeds (the mission is actually uploaded)

[20210702 15:19:23.570 WARN ] - Finally timed out - going to idle. Current state was: 4

I've connected to an existing vehicle that has an existing mission on it. I can't download the mission from the vehicle. I get a timeout.

@timtuxworth could you please tell some details? Linux or macOS? Version of Apm-Planner? It would also be cool if you could copy the content of the log.

[timtuxworth]

Hi @Arne-W this is on MacOS, 2.0.30-rc1. Happy to get you a log - from where? I'm assuming you don't mean the flight log.

[Arne-W]

Hmm - I have no idea where you can find the log on macOS. On Linux there is a file called "apmlog_yyyymmdd.txt" in your "home/apmplanner2" directory. Perhaps its there on macOS too??

[timtuxworth]

Yes - pretty much the same - under my "/users/tim/apmplanner2". Here's an example.

Cool - I will have a closer look in the next days. 👍

@timtuxworth Sorry but I am not able to reproduce it. Have you tried to refresh the list manually? On the bottom there should be a refresh button.
The Implementation requests the next waypoint as soon as a waypoint is received. So if it times out I would say either the request or the answer is lost.... What sort of connection are you using?? I tested with USB.

@timtuxworth is that by any chance a 3DR Solo with OpenSolo ? (or anything else with Sololink/IMX6) - I remember that there was some issues with the controller-scripts that were/are not fully MAVLink2 compatible.

This is on a QioTek Zealot H743. Testing using various different connections, including USB.

This is fully reproducible with a serial connection to a ArduPilot, and SITL.
I also believe this issue #1270 is related .. he points to a specific issue with more than one message sending events

FWIW: APM-Planner_2-2.0.30-rc1-x86_64.AppImage works fine.. that's only 16 commits since..

I tried to build 2.0.30 .. and still get the issue.. I start to believe it is something with my build environment - very strange. (Qt version 5.15.2)

@timtuxworth @Arne-W
I did review the commits since the official .appimage was made.
I start to suspect the issue is somehow related to the build environment.
It would be of great help to have a new .appimage build from current master.

• Who can build an appimage? the daily auto-build is broken.

[Arne-W]

@AndKe I can do a new build this weekend - sorry but you know SOOOOOOO many things to do and so little time

[timtuxworth]

If it's about priorities, perhaps better to fix the auto-build?

[AndKe]

absolutely .. is there some way I can help- please say .. I am a Linux user, but never fiddled with building on github. If it is trivial - like change in upload paths or something - might be of help...otherwise, I doubt it.
Autobuilds would certainly help many more people.
