unprecise error

Post by binbinhfr »

It is not a real bug, but more a strange thing.

When trying to insert an invalid ItemStack into an inventory, I got this :

By chance, I manage to find out where I made a mistake, but why is this error message so unprecise ?
The event is not named, and no error line...

Do you speak about the message, or do you mean that you want more precisions on how I trigger this ?

In case, I called this erronous function from on_player_selected_area event :

Code: Select all

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function retrieve_in_bag(inv_player,inv)
	for n=1,#inv do
		inv_player.insert(inv[n]) -- FORGOT TO TEST VALID_FOR_READ HERE, SO ERROR
	end
	return(not inv.is_empty())
end

Are you able to reproduce that error? When I get the error it gives the mod name and line in the file that the error was produced from.

Please upload a test save and mod that I can reproduce the error not containing that information.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Yes I can reproduce.

Please upload test map, mod (including error), + log.

Load map, use my Copy tool and just select the group of objects right up to you. Choose "wipe all settings" -> unprecised bug

The original error is in control.lua , line 157. Now it's corrected, but to trigger the bug, I commented 2 lines to get the error.

Interesting.. I found the issue but it's an issue with the internals of Lua.

I've changed the way error messages are shown for Lua errors for 0.13.14:

So, this should be resolved for 0.13.14.

Great, because it's not the first time I have this problem, but I never take the time to report it.

Don't speak about typos ! It makes me nervous. :shock:
This non declarative lua langage is strange.
Last day, I spend hours finding out a bug : I was making a comparison with a whatever-tim7 value that should have been written whatever-time7 !!!
And that's not the first time it happens...

Is there no way to force this langage declarative ? Any option at the beginning of the code ? For the rest I find LUA very convenient.

you can use LuaCheck It is a pain to get set up on windows though.

viewtopic.php?f=34&t=29919 has a little guide if your using sublimetext. But still a pain on windows.

I got it working somewhat on windows with Geany and it is awesome.

Re: unprecise error

Post by binbinhfr »

Very interesting, but it seems that it does not check "includes" because most of the variables detected as undefined are in my utils.lua module.
And it also reports functions that are declared in the current control.lua module. Strange.
So it's a tool that you run independantly. It's a solution when I have a mysterious bug.
But if it does not exist under windows, I'm damned ! :lol:

Those warnings are because the variables and functions have global scope verses local scope. They can be suppressed or added to the globals list. Or just set up everything to be local
