GAMLJ3 systematic crash after shuffling the levels

Post by Arnaud Mortier »

Hi,

I am using jamovi 2.6.13, with GAMLj 3.4.1, on Windows 10 Education.

I have observed that GAMLj3 will systematically crash under quite simple conditions, here is a step by step procedure to reproduce, which I believe is minimal:

1. Load a dataset including a factor (F) with 3 levels, and two numerical variables (X, Y)
2. Run a General Linear Model (top option in GAMLj3) with Y as the DV, F as a factor and X as a covariate.
3. Add the interaction term F*X to the model.
4. In the Variables panel, right-click on the factor, then choose 'Setup...' and change the order of the levels (e.g. bring the level at the bottom up to the top).
5. Go back to the Analyses panel, run a new General Linear Model with X, Y, F as before. No results will be displayed, the system has crashed completely.

Thanks for any help.

Best regards,
Arnaud

Hi
it is a general issue (not specific to gamlj). We'll fix it. In the meantime, to avoid the issue just hit F5 after changing the factor levels order.

thanks for reporting
