Read from EEPROM hangs

[JeffDG]

I have a program that reads a key from EEPROM. I've written a value to the key, but whenever I try to read it, it just hands the entire sketch.

Here's the Python code that is running:
def btn_save_magic_number_pressed():
speaker.playTone(523, 2, volume=5)
nvs.write(str('magic_number'), track_magic_number)
speaker.playTone(262, 2, volume=5)
label0.set_text(str(int((nvs.read_str('magic_number')))))
speaker.playTone(131, 2, volume=5)
pass

I get the first two tones played (indicating it has written the EEPROM key), but the third never plays, and the label value never changes.

I have tried other code to read the EEPROM, they always hang.

@JeffDG Hi, Bug fixed, this feature is supported in the next firmware version(v1.12.5)

Sounds good!

When is 1.12.5 expected to be available?
