Diagnostic steps performed / recommended

  1. Reproduce:
    • Run setool2lite v1.1.1 with verbose/logging enabled to capture full error traces.
    • Reproduce on multiple machines/OSes to isolate environment-specific issues.
  2. Collect logs:
    • Enable DEBUG logging; capture stdout/stderr and any stack traces.
    • Note exact command and device state when error occurs.
  3. Environment checks:
    • Verify Python/runtime version compatibility.
    • List installed dependency versions (pip freeze or equivalent).
    • Confirm device permissions (e.g., /dev/ttyUSB* or USB access).
  4. Dependency isolation:
    • Run in a clean virtual environment with pinned dependency versions from working release (e.g., v1.1.0).
  5. Binary/protocol tracing:
    • If USB/serial, use tools (e.g., usbmon, Wireshark with USBPcap, socat, minicom) to capture raw traffic.
  6. Source inspection:
    • Review commits between v1.1.0 and v1.1.1 for changes in parsing, timeout handling, threading, or device init code.
  7. Unit/integration tests:
    • Add tests that simulate malformed device responses and edge timeouts to reproduce failure.

Solution 1: Fix Installation Errors

  1. Run as Administrator: Right-click on the installer and select "Run as administrator" to ensure proper installation permissions.
  2. Install Visual C++ Redistributable: Ensure you have the latest Visual C++ Redistributable installed, as it's often required by Setool2 Lite v1.11.
