Cannot remove project

Operating System

Linux

Distribution Method

AppImage (Linux)

Describe the issue

I have only one project set up, used gitbutler for some time in the last few days but I missed the git tag command, so I decided to remove the project from the app and continue using my day to day git commands, the problem is that as soon as I click on the Remove button on the modal, the interface freezes and nothing happens til the interface goes completely blank after some time.

Going into the projects.json file and manually removing the project works like a charm.

How to reproduce (Optional)

1. Setup a new project
2. Try to remove a project

Expected behavior (Optional)

1.When clicking the Remove button the interface would freeze for some time and go blank

Relevant log output (Optional)

Thanks a lot for reporting and for providing logs.

The error is merely a log message and doesn't indicate failure of the delete_project function, which returns successfully.
On MacOS this seems to be working alright, but on Linux it reproduces easily, even without the AppImage but with a local development build.

Thanks to @ndom91 for the reproduction.

Yep, I just provided those logs so you could see that the delete_project command successfully returned as it can be seen on the second delete_project log span, and because there isn't any more logs when the app goes blank.

Good thing it's reproducible!
