Error adding term Operation canceled

[ElaxDev]

I don't know why but when I try adding a word to Anki it shows me this error and my Anki becomes unresponsive for some seconds:

The ankiconnect hostname and port is set correctly and mining words with yomitan in google works so the problem seems to be with Memento, it used to work fine but now it doesn't work.

I can't reproduce it. Is it still happening? Sometimes this might happen because JapanesePod101 is having issues.

[ElaxDev]

Yes, is still happening, I'm not using JapanesePod101, I am using a local audio server

[ripose-jp]

The local audio server seems to work fine when adding to Anki for me. Although I can't seem to play the audio in Memento.

Maybe try giving Anki or AnkiConnect a reinstall.

If you're on Linux and are using the flatpak version of Memento, you need to give it access to /tmp.

[ElaxDev]

I'm on windows

I just got done testing and I'm not able to reproduce this on Windows either. I think it's something specific to your setup. Possibly a plugin or something. I'd run a test with a fresh install of Anki with AnkiConnect and the local audio server plugin to see if the issue persists. Alternatively you can try to disable additional plugins until you find one that might be causing the issue.

Sorry I'm not able to help more with this one at the moment.

I tried it with just AnkiConnect enabled in Anki and it gives me the same error, I am not using the local audio server now, I had to reinstall Windows (and consequently Memento and Anki) and it still gives me the same error, I ran memento-debug.exe and it still doesn't work, it worked once when I was testing, although I don't know how because it gave me the error. The console gives me this output:

So it seems it is taking the screenshot.

[ripose-jp]

Taking a screenshot isn't too interesting since Memento takes the screenshot before ever interacting with AnkiConnect. Do you mind downgrading to v1.2.1 and trying to make a card? v1.2.2 introduced a change that sends images as base64 over JSON rather than telling AnkiConnect to go into the filesystem. That's the only thing I can think might be causing this, though I wouldn't know why since I can't reproduce it.

[ElaxDev]

Yeah, downgrading did the trick, I don't know why it didn't work earlier.

[ripose-jp]

It's very strange that I can't reproduce this on any OS. At least it seems 8c0af66 is the culprit. This commit fixes other issues though, so I'd rather keep it than revert it.

It would be incredibly helpful to know if this is affecting other users or how to reproduce it.

Could you post a screenshot of your Memento card template and export an example card from Anki so I can recreate your setup? https://litterbox.catbox.moe/ is a good temporary file hosting service to upload the akpg to.

[ElaxDev]

Sorry, I saw your comment just now, here are the screenshots of my card template:

Here is an example note: https://litter.catbox.moe/m8s1rz.apkg

I don't know what the deal is, but I was able to import your note into Anki just fine. After that though, it just soft locked and wouldn't let me do anything. After restarting Anki, I tried to open the deck, but it just kept showing the Processing... loading bar forever. I think this is an issue with your note type and Anki. I'd recommend trying to use a different model and deck to mine on v1.2.2 and seeing what happens. If everything works fine, I'd say there's some sort of bug in Anki with regard to your model or deck.
