Error while launching robotframework-RIDE (Robot Framework IDE)

I have installed Robot Framework and installed wxPython and then Ride. When I launch it by executing python ride.py, it runs into an error as shown below. I believe it has something to do with the wxPython version, not sure.

There is a series of UnreprError like this

    <class 'robotide.preferences.configobj.UnreprError'> Parse error in value at line 0.
    <class 'robotide.preferences.configobj.UnreprError'> Parse error in value at line 3.
    <class 'robotide.preferences.configobj.UnreprError'> Parse error in value at line 4.
    <class 'robotide.preferences.configobj.UnreprError'> Parse error in value at line 5.
    <class 'robotide.preferences.configobj.UnreprError'> Parse error in value at line 6.
    <class 'robotide.preferences.configobj.UnreprError'> Parse error in value at line 7.
    <class 'robotide.preferences.configobj.UnreprError'> Parse error in value at line 19.
...
    <class 'robotide.preferences.configobj.UnreprError'> Parse error in value at line 60.
    <class 'robotide.preferences.configobj.UnreprError'> Parse error in value at line 61.
    <class 'robotide.preferences.configobj.UnreprError'> Parse error in value at line 62.
    <class 'robotide.preferences.configobj.UnreprError'> Parse error in value at line 63.
    <class 'robotide.preferences.configobj.UnreprError'> Parse error in value at line 67.
    <class 'robotide.preferences.configobj.UnreprError'> Parse error in value at line 68.
    <class 'robotide.preferences.configobj.UnreprError'> Parse error in value at line 69.
    <class 'robotide.preferences.configobj.UnreprError'> Parse error in value at line 70.
    <class 'robotide.preferences.configobj.UnreprError'> Parse error in value at line 71.
    <class 'robotide.preferences.configobj.UnreprError'> Parse error in value at line 13.

And then the stack trace shows:

Things are going to break, please only change locale by creating wxLocale objects to avoid this!

RIDE 1.7.4.2 is not compatible with Python 3.8. It should not even install when using pip.

You should uninstall RIDE 1.7.4.2, and install the Beta version by executing the following command:

c:\Python38-32\python.exe -m pip install --pre robotframework-ride

See more info in the Project Page or in the FAQ.
