Octoprint: Pause and subsequent cancel causes UI to become unresponsive.

[ralxnder]

What were you doing?

Pausing and then canceling print

1. Pause current print
2. Cancel current print without resuming
3. ...

What did you expect to happen?

I expect the print job to be cancelled successfully and the UI to go back to a ready state.

What happened instead?

The UI hangs in a "Cancelling" state and is unresponsive unless I disconnect and reconnect. I cannot control my print with any of the buttons as they are all grayed out.

Did the same happen when running OctoPrint in safe mode?

Yes

Please enable serial.log (Settings > Serial Connection > Log communication to serial.log), then reproduce the issue, then post the resulting log.

I had the same issue with pausing my print.
I clicked on pause print, normally it should perform the custom GCODE which i added to the pause button,
which should raise the head from the object.
The status of the printer didnt change from printing to paused.
I wasnt able to send any commands to the printer.
Also for me, all buttons were grayed out

Ruined my 7hrs print.

@Serray for you the same goes as for @ralxnder. I need logs. I can't reproduce this myself. I depend on logs to be able to debug this.

[ralxnder]

Here is a serial.log. I was seeing the same as @Serray, buttons are grayed out.

I also faced the same issue. To rework we have restart the octoprint. This issue is happening after the latest update.

I found a workaround until the issue is resolved. When the pauseing gets stuck and the buttons are greyed out, then go to Terminal > Advanced Options > Fake Acknowledgement. Then the print status should be Paused

Found and fixed by the above commit. Both this and #2581 had the same race condition as root cause. Until 1.3.9 is released (currently traveling, so can't look into this due to lack of a proper test environment) hitting "Fake Acknowledgement" as described above is a functioning work around.

Just to make this easier to find...

Just wondering if this bug could cause the following problem:

I use the filament run-out plugin "Filament Sensor Reloaded" by kontakt. This plugin will call the pause function in Octoprint when the lack of filament triggers a micro switch.

I have a GCODE script populated in the "After print job is paused" section of my configuration and have noticed that, in about 1 out of 3 times or so, when the pause is triggered, Octoprint crashes completely and I have to reboot the RPi.

@DrWatson I doubt it. But it's hard to say without octoprint.log and serial.log and your settings ;)

Thanks for the response. I think I am going to upgrade to 1.3.9rc1 and see if the problem goes away so at least I'm on the most recent code stream.
