Maps => Variable subscript badly formatted

[BigDaddyO 11]

I'm trying to use Maps for the first time (Never knew they were available until I read through the release notes) but Scite keeps throwing an error on run about Variable subscript badly formatted.

I tried to run the script directly from AutoIT and it also threw an error.

I've got the latest 3.3.14.5 and just re-installed Scite.  

Below is a quick sample that I put together that throws the error in Scite as well as if I run it with the AutoIT Run a script.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Local $mBug[] ;==> Variable subscript badly formatted
$mBug.Width = 1100
$mBug.Height = 700
$mBug.GUI = GUICreate("Defect Details", $mBug.Width, $mBug.Height)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $mBug.GUI)

;~ $iW = 1100
;~ $iH = 700
;~ $hGUI = GUICreate("Defect Details", $iW, $iH)
;~ GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()

        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

 

I tried searching the forum for Maps and it's only talking about Beta which I don't have installed.

 

so, what am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks,

Mike

I believe this option is only available in the beta version.

The newest Beta release has this disclaimer:

Warning: This feature is experimental. It may not work, may contain bugs or may be changed or removed without notice.

DO NOT REPORT BUGS OR REQUEST NEW FEATURES FOR THIS FEATURE.

As this feature is very much a question mark right now, there will be no support for issues with it.

If that's the case, then the Help file needs to be fixed in the latest release since that's where I read about it.

@BigDaddyO Looks like that entry accidentally made it into the release version.

[JLogan3o13 1,271]

As mentioned, this disclaimer is in the latest release (15.1 IIRC). I have heard that an oversight cause it not to be in the previous release.

@JLogan3o13 The issue being described here is that the Autoit 3.3.14.4 help file entry "Language Reference - Variables" contains some language about the Maps data type.

Seeing the same issue online.

Just guess: Try to dowmload latest beta au3check.exe from here:

https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit-script-editor/downloads/

https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/download/beta_SciTE4AutoIt3/

It's probably only au3check syntax check error. If this new "Map" syntax isn't implemented in au3check yet then disable au3check in your script by directve

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_AU3Check=n

 

EDIT: Also look here (specially Melba's reply)

@Zedna It's not the au3check as I tried to run the script directly with AutoIT without Scite and it threw an error.  So, i'm sure it's just not available in the latest release and it just needs the Maps stuff removed from the help file.

@Danp2 I understand the issue; we are working to address it.
