Freeze on KiCad Nigthly 5.99

[hildogjr]

I am using the v1.0.2 of the plugin the the Pcbnew 5.99.0-unknown-d4461f6c5~91~ubuntu20.04.1, release build.

It freeze when I click on "Make Gerber and ZIP" and close KiCad/Pcbnew.

The "Gerber" folder is created but it stays empty after the plugin execution. The attached video shows better.

It seems that pcbnew is crashing as well as the plugin. The 5.99 pcbnew still has a crash issue with zone fills and I think it's related to this.

If you started by "$ kicad-nightly" command from the terminal, you probably see some message in the terminal.

Just Gtk log issues... debug.log

Also the copper fill is working fine here. The specific above issue could be related with the Altium importer.

A GDB debug.log just shows a fault received by the Python API.

Thank you
In my test, there seemed to be a problem with the zone fill, so I made a version that skips processing if there is a problem here.

In my environment, this doesn't crash even at 5.99. However, in 5.99, the zone fill is not updated when you run the plugin, so manually fill update is needed.

I'm not sure the recommended procedure of filling zones from the Python API, so I'll post it in KiCad issues.

Either way, it doesn't seem to work because there is a problem with zone filling in the 5.99.
A milestone has been set for 6.0.0-rc1.
