DiffMerge command line tool crashes with wxWidget stacktrace

[darkn3rd]

SUMMARY: Installing diffmege with cask yields crashing program when typing diffmerge from the command line.

ACTUAL RESULTS: Install diffmerge (brew cask install diffmerge) and type diffmerge from the console:

$ diffmerge
/build/sgdm400/Apple/intel/Release_patched/wxWidgets-3.0.0-rc1/src/common/arrstr.cpp(368): assert "nIndex < m_nCount" failed in RemoveAt(): bad index in wxArrayString::Remove

In the graphical application, a dialog titled wxWidgets Debug Alert pops up and states:

/build/sgdm400/Apple/intel/Release_patched/wxWidgets-3.0.0-rc1/src/common/arrstr.cpp(368): assert "nIndex < m_nCount" failed in RemoveAt(): bad index in wxArrayString::Remove

Call stack:
[00] wxFileName::RemoveLastDir()             
[01] dlg_paid::~dlg_paid()                   
[02] dlg_paid::~dlg_paid()                   
[03] wxURI::~wxURI()                         
[04] wxHashTable::~wxHashTable()             
[05] dlg_paid::~dlg_paid()                   
[06] wxLogger::DoLogTrace(wxString const&, wchar_t const*, ...) 
[07] 0x00000001              

EXPECTED RESULTS: Well, no crash. After uninstalling with cask, and installing from the package, DiffMerge.4.2.0.697.intel.stable.pkg, I do not have the same user experience. Typing diffmerge from the command line doesn't crash.

Closing as duplicate of #11056.

[darkn3rd]

Note. My issue is a bug on a crash that is introduced by an installation by cask that would not normally occur in the originally product's installer. You closed this issue as a duplicate of an enhancement request.

[jawshooah]

That's a fair point. I believe the label for that issue has been changed accordingly.

Have you tried just clicking "Cancel" when that error dialog shows up? I've been coping with this error for months, and it has never had any actual impact on the performance of the app.

[darkn3rd]

The app runs, except when called from the command line and used with tools like git diff. As apart of our engineering process where I work, they use diffmerge with git. I cannot recommend installing that particular tool with cask (other tools I've tried work fine, and Java is working better now).
