Exception in thread DatabasePainter.

See original GitHub issue

Hi all, I get the following exception when I try to load a overage file:

[Lighthouse] Successfully loaded 1 coverage file(s)...
Exception in thread DatabasePainter:
Traceback (most recent call last):

The “Coverage Overview” windows is successfully filled with the correct data, however, the disassembly output and the graph view are not painted.

Btw, I’m using a nice little python script to convert Qemu trace files into drcov trace files that can be read by lighthouse. Maybe this is of interest for some of the lighthouse users.

You can find it here: https://github.com/RobertBuhren/qemutrace2drcov

Thanks to @domenukk for the initial version of this script.
