Maybe an issue on AU3Check with AutoIt v3.3.12.0


Recommended Posts

I encountered an issue with objects (method or properties) after update to AutoIt 3.3.12.0 today

It throws an error when I try to compile a script due to a supposed syntax error: 

ERROR: missing separator character after keyword.

 

As an example, here an extraction of Jos' Smtp Mailer that supports Html and attachments (Topic here: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>) on which you can test it:

Local $objEmail = ObjCreate("CDO.Message")
...
$objEmail.To = $s_ToAddress ; This line throws the error !
...

Please check it and also refer on topic:

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

 
 
Thank you.

I have seen this reported now for the second time and asked JPM to have a look at the latest changes he made to au3check which now recognises the ".To" part of the Object variable as a Keyword causing this issue with the "_INetSmtpMailCom" function and any other script using a similar notation.

I am experiencing the same problem with a program that used to work fine. "Step" apparently is a keyword:

"C:AutoIt3MyProgsRSIPackageVerify.au3"(1059,15) : error: missing separator character before keyword.
        $oRSI.Step
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
"C:AutoIt3MyProgsRSIPackageVerify.au3"(1148,35) : error: missing separator character before keyword.
        $s &= "  Step = " & $oRSI.Step
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
C:AutoIt3MyProgsRSIPackageVerify.au3 - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Try the current Beta version to see if that fixes it for you.

Same problem - error: missing separator character before keyword

if in the definition of function is the parameter ByRef, e.g.

Func Calculate ($inp_Number,ByRef $out_result)      - error

Func Calculate ($inp_Number, ByRef $out_result)  - correct

Thomymaster,

Do not get confused between AutoIt and SciTE4AutoIt3 - the former is the language and the latter is an independent add-on editor which comes with some other tools to help you code n AutoIt.

The SciTE4AutoIt author, Jos, will no doubt issue a new full release of the utility with updated tools (such as Au3Check) when he feels the time is right. Until then I suggest you use the Beta Au3Check to which he linked above. ;)

As to AutoIt itself - same answer. Jon will release a new version when he is ready. :)

Just for clarity, au3check is part of the AutoIt3 installer and the current Beta has the fixed au3check in it.

Hi

I have just updated my 3.3.8.1 to the 3.3.12.0 which includes the broken Au3Check.exe. I replaced it with the one Jos linked to but the "ByRef" problem is not fixed there.

@Jos

Can you maybe provide a new beta Au3Check.exe which includes this fix as well? I don't want to install the AutoIt3 beta just to get the working Au3Check.exe :)

Cheers

Thomy

You aren't using the beta version of Au3Check, and the problem has nothing to do with ByRef. The problem is because there's no space before the ByRef and after the comma so the program thinks something is missing. 9 times out of 10 you can fix an issue like that by running Tidy on the script prior to running Au3Check.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I appear to be having the same issue:

Local $oMessage = ObjCreate("CDO.Message")
With $oMessage
    .Subject = """" & $EmailSubject & """"
    .From = "dagbyte@gmail.com"
    .To = "dagbyte@gmail.com"

Yields me "error: missing separator character before keyword."

I have installed the latest from the downloads (just today).

Any ideas how to fix that?

 

mahalo,

Hi,

I installed a new OS and the latest stable version of Autoit (v3.3.14.2) and Scite. Meanwhile the same with Beta  v3.3.15.0. With "ArrayMore.au3" from Bugfix I get (C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\SciTE.exe - Version 3.6.0) in line 116:

ERROR: missing separator character before keyword.

If I use C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE-AutoIt3Installer\SciTE.exe (Version 3.5.4 lite) everything works... What's the right way to go? :-)

Regards

Thomas

I would not use a UDF from 2007, that is built on other UDFs, unless you also go back and get the 2007 versions of the includes.   Things like his use of _ArraySort are bound to be boned in the latest revision of array.au3
