Process finished with exit code 134 (interrupted by signal 6: SIGABRT) in Python and OpenCV

Consider:

import numpy as np
import cv2

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

while(True):
    # Capture frame-by-frame
    ret, frame = cap.read()

    # Our operations on the frame come here
    gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

    # Display the resulting frame
    cv2.imshow('frame',gray)
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

# When everything done, release the capture
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

I'm using Python and OpenCV in the PyCharm IDE. When I try to open the webcam using OpenCV, it gives the following error:

Process finished with exit code 134 (interrupted by signal 6: SIGABRT)

Is this happening because I'm running out of memory? What are the solutions for this?

I'm using PyCharm on MacBook Pro (OS: macOS v10.14 (Mojave)).

Open file /Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/info.plist in any text editor.

Add these two lines before the dict and plist tags:

        <key>Privacy - Camera Usage</key>
        <string>An application in PyCharm wants to use the camera.</string>
    </dict>
</plist>

I have opened an issue at JetBrains because of this. But here is a workaround:

Run PyCharm or IntelliJ IDEA (whatever JetBrains application) from an application which already has been approved for camera access. For example, I use the Hyper terminal to run the IDE and everything works.

By running the Python script in Visual Studio Code, it will execute the program without any warnings or bugs.

  1. Open /Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/info.plist,

  2. Insert a new line:

    • Key: Privacy - Camera Usage
    • Type: String
    • Value: An application in PyCharm wants to use the camera.

  3. Save it.

  4. Reopen PyCharm.
  5. Run your code.
