I’ve got a whole bunch of these in my logs. I think they’re harmless but my guess is that they shouldn’t be there?

Congrats, you might have found the first relativepath issue for @markus101 to fix.

I figured as much, but I was slightly surprised as I didn’t think that was in yet. :stuck_out_tongue:

Stack traces without line numbers are pretty useless, thought you were running mono with --debug already.

Found the issue and pushed up a fix.

I am running it in debug mode. I never changed that back (nor did I want to) after fixing the startup script to do so. I just double checked and it was also not changed by an update or something.

Thanks for the fix. :slight_smile:
