Footprint Not Working

[mwever]

Description

When trying to generate configuration footprints, some error occurs but it is not visual to me what kind of error...

This is the stacktrace I get when trying to generate the configuration footprint:

deepcave.evaluators.footprint (INFO): Added 20 configurations.
Starting to calculate distances and add border and random configurations...

  warnings.warn('resource_tracker: There appear to be %d '

The error message in the web UI only says: "The job failed. Check the logs or make sure the worker is still running. Most of the times, a simple restart might help."

I am not sure whether this is again a Mac issue or whether this problem also occurs on other platforms. I tried different runs of different folders and the problem is consistently showing up.

I just went back to commit 6169c53 from August 2nd 2024. Back then the configuration footprint still worked. So maybe we can isolate the changes turning into the observed bug moving on from there?

Now I found the commit on the main branch that introduced the breaking changes: 7f806ae

So for previous commits the configuration footprint still worked. @KrissiHub can you have a look at the diff for these commits to fix the bug, please?
