[Mono-osx] Problem canceling the opening of a NSDocument

[Jon Lipsky]

Hi All,

I'm running into a strange problem that I though perhaps someone else might have run into and might have a solution for.

If I were writing a document based application in Objective-C and wanted to the user to be able to cancel the opening of a document, I could do something like this (which I can confirm works fine):

- (BOOL)readFromData:(NSData *)data ofType:(NSString *)typeName error:(NSError **)outError
{
    // Loading code here...

    *outError = [NSError errorWithDomain:NSCocoaErrorDomain code:NSUserCancelledError userInfo:nil];
    return NO;
}

The (what seems to me) obvious thing to do in MonoMac would be to implement this:

public override bool ReadFromData (NSData data, string typeName, out NSError outError)
{
	// Loading code here...

	outError = NSError.FromDomain(NSError.CocoaErrorDomain,1376);
	return false;
}

However, when I do so, my app crashes with the following stack trace:

#0  0x9287dfd5 in __wait4 ()
#1  0x93be04ec in waitpid$UNIX2003 ()
#2  0x0009fe9b in mono_handle_native_sigsegv (signal=11, ctx=0xbfffea5c) at mini-exceptions.c:2192
#3  0x00004f6e in mono_sigsegv_signal_handler (_dummy=10, info=0xbfffea1c, context=0xbfffea5c) at mini.c:5917
#4  <signal handler called>
#5  0x9249cd44 in objc_msgSend ()
#6  0x991622cc in -[NSDocumentController(NSInternal) _fixedFailureReasonFromError:] ()
#7  0x9916b5f4 in -[NSDocumentController _willPresentOpeningError:forURL:] ()
#8  0x9916b197 in -[NSDocumentController _openDocumentsWithContentsOfURLs:presentErrors:completionHandler:] ()
#9  0x9915f749 in -[NSDocumentController openDocument:] ()
(Rest of stack trace omitted)

Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so were you able to find a solution/workaround?

Thanks,
Jon...
