UWP C# TryGetItemAsync - call hangs third time



I'm pretty new in developing UWP apps and using await/async. I try getting a file from local folder of UWP app, but the app is hanging. The file exists on drive.



I wrote some test methods to try identifying the issue, but I don't understand, why it doesn't work. Two runs working fine and the third hangs always.



Has someone an idea, what I'm doing woring?



Code:


public void Test()

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++)

KLogger.Log.Debug("");
KLogger.Log.Debug("### Started : " + i);

// create new or returns existent file
var task = TestGetNewFile("test.txt");
//task.ConfigureAwait(false);
task.Wait();
var res = task.Result;

task.Dispose();

KLogger.Log.Debug("### Done : " + i);



public async Task<IStorageFile> TestGetNewFile(string fileName)

var storageFolder = ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;

KLogger.Log.Debug("Creation started.");

var fileItem = await storageFolder.TryGetItemAsync(fileName);

KLogger.Log.Debug("Creation finished.");

return null;



Log Output:

Your code does not compile. There is no Dispose method in Task class.

// Assembly location: C:Usersuser.nugetpackagesmicrosoft.netcore.universalwindowsplatform6.1.5refuap10.0.15138System.Runtime.dll - Task has a Dispose method. But you can remove the Dispose call. This was a test only. Without dispose, issue is the same.The UWP app is for target platform Windows 10, Version 1803 (10.0; Build 17134) Min. Version Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (10.0; Build 16xxx)

If you're calling this code from the UI thread, then it's surprising that it works the first two times, this is a known deadlock pattern. Try instead to call your method like this: var task = Task.Run(() => TestGetNewFile("test.txt"));

var task = Task.Run(() => TestGetNewFile("test.txt"));

It works if you call it this way, use async-await all the way down.


async-await


private async void MainPage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)

var item = await TestGetNewFile("test.txt");



async Task<IStorageItem> TestGetNewFile(string fileName)

return await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.TryGetItemAsync(fileName);



You may find this answer await vs. Task.Wait - Deadlock? useful.





Hey! Great! This works perfect now with "async-await all the way down". Thanks a lot for your quick help!

Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas...

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12...

Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS I'm trying to create a top 10 leaderboard, for now, I've only implemented 3 players, but I'm coming across an issue. My script doesn't seem to be outputting anything on webpage. The purpose of the script is to compare 3 arrays, player1,player2,and player3 solely based off of score. Which is the 2nd index of each array. I want the script to list the players in order of highest score. This method doesn't really seem to be efficient, especially when I'll have to add 7 more players. Could someone suggest perhaps an easier approach, as well as show me why my script wont output the info. Here's the JS function leaderboard() { var player1 = name:"Thomas",date:"01/23/18",score:"201"; var player2 = name:"Michael",date:"03/24/17",score:"943"; var player3 = Name:"Lisa",date:"06/04/18",Score:"79"; if(player1[2]...
