Clicking Unbury Causes Database Error on Mac

Anki Desktop

Stacktrace below, copy-pasted from the error prompt Anki gave me. As suggested, I tried Tools > Check Database, but it did not fix the problem.

Possibly not a satisfiable solution, but a reboot of Anki did make the error dialog go away and I am able to unbury decks again now.

Thanks dae. More than happy to restart stuff, update Anki etc. Just doesn’t necessarily solve the possible issue in the code though? The stack trace suggests there’s an API mismatch in how unburyCardsForDeck is called (i.e. I’m guessing that onUnbury is trying to call unburyCardsForDeck() with the keyword argument ‘type’–which doesn’t, or no longer, exists).

Anyway, happy for the issue to be closed. Sorry for the noise.

I suspect the issue has long since been fixed. If you can reproduce it in the latest version, please let me know.
