Crash with SQLiteDatabase.Error

What I did: Tried to start Agenda

What happened: Agenda immediately crashes without managing to open any windows. The reported error is:

Could not set up the Agenda library at path file:///Users/xxx/Library/Containers/com.momenta.agenda.macos/Data/Documents/Agenda/ because of error: The operation couldn’t be completed. (NBFoundation.SQLiteDatabase.Error error 2.)

What I expected: Agenda to open.

Things that might be helpful to know (Agenda version, OS and model, etc):

Version is 2.2.1. I’ve only been using Agenda for a few days, though it has opened successfully in the past to allow me to use it. I’m on OS X 10.12.6, on a Macbook Pro.

Crash log (up to the binary images, I can’t attach the report because I’m a new user):

We’re sorry to hear that.

Does it help if you:

  • quit Agenda
  • in Go > Go to Folder in Finder, paste:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.momenta.agenda.macos/Data/Documents/Agenda/
  • make a backup copy of the DerivedInfo folder, then delete it
  • start Agenda

Do things works as they should after that?

In the 2 or 3 times that we’ve seen this issue it was caused by a database corruption as the result of a sudden power loss or reboot or kernel panic. Do you recall that this is also preceded things in your case?

Thanks! That does fix the problem (though unsurprisingly I had to wait for all the data to download from iCloud). Agenda starts now.

I have had some issues with the battery on this laptop leading to running down to 0% unexpectedly, so it’s quite possible it’s a power-related corruption.

Glad to hear it fixed the issue, those are nasty and indeed the battery dropping out in the middle of a database write sounds like the explanation.

I’ve had the same issue.
I know for sure, that I had a power-outage, and the computer turned off suddenly.
I have tried the steps described above, but when I restart Agenda, I still get the error message.

It indeed sounds like the power outage corrupted your database. Does it help if you:

  • quit Agenda
  • in Go to Folder under the Go menu in Finder, paste:
    ~/Library/Group Containers/WRBK2Z2EG7.group.com.momenta.agenda.macos/Release/Application/
  • make a backup copy of the DerivedInfo folder, then delete it
  • start Agenda

Do things works as they should after that?

It did! Thanks very much :+1:
