Wee-slack: Stuck at "getting channel history..." after upgrading to High Sierra

[ahmedelgabri]

After the upgrade, I'm just stuck at "getting channel history..." & it never loads anything from any channels. The main channel is saying that I'm connected & that everything is fine though...

[gtramontina]

Same here… Where you able to diagnose it?

[ahmedelgabri]

No, not yet

This has started to happen to me too, and I wonder whether it's correlated with High Sierra, since I'm still on Sierra. I also came back to my desk after leaving my computer unattended over the weekend to find my .weechat directory filled with literally millions of crash logs which had eaten up my entire disk.

Just out of curiosity, are you seeing crash logs on your end?

[ahmedelgabri]

I don't have any crash logs inside the .weechat folder

I'm getting the same issue on Sierra.

Looking at a trace, it looked like a SIGSEGV was coming from cURL. I did brew reinstall weechat --with-curl to use Homebrew's cURL instead of macOS's and it seems to be working now.

[alyssais]

Ah, no, that didn't solve it. Just seemed to make it less frequent?

[alyssais]

I was almost right, I think. This _does_ seem to have fixed it (been running for hours with no crash reports or getting stuck loading):

brew reinstall curl --with-openssl
brew reinstall weechat --with-curl

Reinstalling fixed the issue thanks @alyssais
