Spinner vs. no background task running at the moment?
Hello all,
I am running DSS (5.1.5, considering upgrading to 6.0) on my macbook pro (OS X 10.14.6), doing some data wrangling and analysis on (big) flat files.
I made a very simple Pivot on a table, and since then DSS displays a constant spinner, without producing the output pivot view. I checked in Administration/Monitoring/Running background tasks, nothing...
I assume investigating what is currently running involves digging into the Terminal interface of DSS?
Thanks in advance,
A

- Backed my data up following that instructions on that ticket
- uninstalled DSS 5.1.5 using AppZapper
- deleted the content of the $HOME/Library/DataScienceStudio/dss_home directory using the rm -rf command
- installed DSS 6.0 using the DMG file
- tried doing the Basics tutorial to check everything would work fine again
but failed to create the first dataset using the orders.csv file, here's the error message:
Failed to commit to Git a previously scheduled commit, caused by: RepositoryNotFoundException: repository not found: /Users/[user-name]/Library/DataScienceStudio/dss_home/config/projects/DKU_TUTORIAL_BASICS
When that folder exists...
(base) ➜ DKU_TUTORIAL_BASICS git:(master) ✗ pwd
/Users/[user-name]/Library/DataScienceStudio/dss_home/config/projects/DKU_TUTORIAL_BASICS
I have trouble understanding how after what I consider a "clean install" (removed app and emptied Data folder) things still don't work.
I think it might have to do with git not liking my rm -rf of the folder...
Will continue investigating, but will appreciate any help!
