IB2017 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello monks,
I encountered a problem with a small Tk application packed with pp and deployed on a Citrix workspace (virtual apps). I am not an expert of such deployment tools. I have only access to a normal instance as a final user would, so I do not have the possibility to have crash reports. The problem I am having is with getOpenFile (and getSaveFile) which crashes as soon as the process is invoked. However, this does not happen all the time. Unfortunately, I did not figure out what made the difference. So, now I need to collect some ideas where the problem may lay, which is hard as I do not have access to reports. As I thought that the problem may lay on some mapping issues between the place where the application is run and the virtual environment, I played with the option -initialdir, assigning several values or omitting it. I also tried to replicate the issue on my machine assigning to -initialdir a non existing value, but was not able to make it crash. So I ask your wisdom: What are the possible factors that could bring this function to crash?
PS: I am very sorry that I do not have more details about the problem.
$Path = $mw->getOpenFile( -filetypes => $types, -initialdir => $DefaultUserDirectoryUnicode, );
