Does OpenStack trigger on each save in IDE?

[kaveh1000]

Hi all

Using 9.5.1 Indy on Mac Catalina

I have several Script only stacks that are loaded when I open a Main stack. Several have OpenStack in the scripts. Generally working well, but when I have the Script Editor open and I save I get an error (Red circle with cross in) that seems to be something to do with OpenStack. (Sorry I can't be more specific.) I then have to save and open again.

Looking at message watcher I think that OpenStack runs every time I say save. Is this always the case? can I stop running OpenStack when I save a stack?

Saving a stack should not trigger any openStack message. Are you referring to building a standalone?

[kaveh1000]

Good question, as I think I read that after making a Standalone LC opens the current stack again.

But definitely just IDE. I attach a picture of message watcher. it is quiet until I press save. Then I see Openstack runs immediately and of course the handlers in OpenStack run.

Check what object that openStack handler is firing in.

Good question. Actually several of the script only stacks have openstack handlers. I know you rightly said that openstack has to go in a card, so only triggers first time stack opens, but SoS's do not have cards.

I am sure I need to clear my head, and not have openstack in SoS at all. I will try and gather all info and put in the main stack and in a card. Then will report back if still problem.

Thanks Richard and Mark.

Does the "Find and Replace..." gadget find a string in the script of a SoS?

Using the "Find and replace" window, I can search and find everything in all SoS's. So if I search for OpenStack I find several.

Kaveh-

In that message viewer plugin if you click on the openstack message it will show the containing object to you.

Interesting question about openStack in a SoS stack. Not sure how to deal with that.

[kaveh1000]

OK. I have now removed all OpenStacks, so just one left in the one card of the Main Stack, as suggested by Mark some time back.

After more testing here is what I see:

I have a main stack that uses 8 external SoS stacks. The Main stack is running correctly and no script errors. I can save any of the stacks any time without errors, as long as Script Editor window is not open. Message Watcher just shows a single

Code: Select all

     saveStackRequest 7:15:34 PM (1579)

for each save.

I then open any Script Editor window. I save. An error immediately appears. (Error is different every time and I cannot find pattern for it.)

Message Watcher shows an extra

Code: Select all

See screenshot.

I close the SE window. Program runs normally. I reopen SE window. Shows green tick and no errors.

You either need to declare your variables or turn off variable checking.

Code: Select all

on use_library_stack
  local tStackName

Hah. Yes, I had switched on

Code: Select all

Strict compilation mode

in preferences. Serves me right for clicking something without knowing what it is!!

Thank you so much Mark.
