Removal of Lua Functions while saving

Post by Karoschl »

While investigating a MP-desync I am experiencing, I noticed that the new saving method mentioned in the FF https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-349 indicates that a lua function is being removed (as described in FF )
While trying to figure out which mod is causing this, i noticed that the log entry is rather "unhelpfull"

Code: Select all

1260.737 Info LuaHelper.cpp:4200: Removed 1 lua functions when saving
  • Is there a way for me to determine with lua, which functions are placed in global namespace and are candidates for removal?
  • I would suggest to make the logging in LuaHelper.cpp a bit more detailed...
Kind Regards

Logging is not super verbose because it was helpful enough for me when testing how many mods will be broken, and with "Versobe logging" enabled this line shows directly before the log line which states how many bytes was saved and from which mod. It was originally intended to crash upon detection of functions but later i changed in into save-as-nil and added this log line. I do not want to log exact path to such functions because it would add extra operations on saving of every variable since i am using recursion to iterate over globals - on each call i would have to provide current path to the variable.

Simplest way to know which functions are candidate to be removed is to manually run `/c log(serpent.dump(global))`, every place which has "(loadstring or load)" is a candidate for removal (but there could be more than that). You may also implement your own globals traversal to catch all functions in it.

Hi boskid,
thank you for your helpful and fast reply, it is always a pleasure to see how involved you guys are ! :!:

Verbose logging was a good pointer, i did not know this setting prior to this.
  • btw. - is there a way to enable verbose logging on a headless server?
Based on the log below, my first assumption was that the mod-even-distribution (14x) and mod-space-exploration (1x) had issues, but after removing mod-even-distribution it still says "Removed 14 lua functions when saving" (see second log fragment)

Thank you for your Time :-)

Kind Regards,
Karoschl

In both cases it points to "Fill4Me" mod. Log line about deleted functions is before a line where mod state size is printed.

You may run `/c __Fill4Me__ log(serpent.dump(global))` to run such command under that mods context to check where it has functions in it.

-- edit: with Krastorio2 you may safely ignore info line, there was 1 function related to flying texts that was crashing when calling nil function and is now fixed by Krastorio2 0.9.19.

It was indeed fill4me that caused my issues and the desync.
Disabling it resolved everything for me... as it is only a QoL mod I'll just post a bug report in the mod portal and leave it disabled for now.

Thank you for helping me understand factorio a bit better. I hope this post will be helpful for others with similar issues !
Have a nice day :-)

Kind regards,
Karoschl
