rofl0r Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 every error happens on line -1. that is so annoying. since the scripts cannot be debugged, at least knowing the right line number would help a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 3, 2009 Moderators Share Posted November 3, 2009 rofl0r, I take it you are running this script as a compiled .exe - compiling removes the line number information so you always get the generic "-1" error. Just run the source code from SciTE and then the line number giving the error will become apparent. You do have the source code, I presume?

martin Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 every error happens on line -1. that is so annoying.since the scripts cannot be debugged, at least knowing the right line number would help a lot.Welcome to the AutoIt forums rofl0r Adding the line number to compiled scripts won't happen because of the bloat this would require. You can run the script from SciTE and then errors with line numbers are reported. There are also debugging features in SciTE to add and remove extra debugging code. Stumpii has a debugger script in Example Scripts.Even better, write the script so that errors are either prevented or handled in some helpful way. For example, check that you do not exceed the range of an array with IsArray and with UBound, check the return from functions, and @error and @extended. Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.

jvanegmond Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 You can at least run Au3Check, which will notify you on obvious things like a $ sign missing. github.com/jvanegmond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
