AutoIT Wrapper error

[DigDeep]

Hi,

I I just went ahead and installed AutoIT latest version and no longer able to use CTRL+5 or Compile option. Getting the attached error.

I tried multiple re-installs but it's happening the same coming from the C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.au3.

Any idea if this is due to the new version or I missed any files?

@DigDeep
I always used Ctrl + F7 or F7 to Compile/Build the script executable.
I think you could open a ticket

[DigDeep]

@FrancescoDiMuro, Yes, I always use CTRL+5 to first check for any errors and if all good, then use CTRL + 7 to compile. Both options are not working out here with the new version of AutoIT.

Can you guide me with the process of opening a ticket? I have never done that?

[FrancescoDiMuro]

@DigDeep
Look at here

[DigDeep]

Thanks and created one now.

Why open a ticket, do you also get this error and can you confirm the bug?

Did you update both AutoIt3 and SciTE4AutoIt3?
I assume you mean to say you use Ctrl+F5 from within SciTE? 

It's all working fine for me, so show me the all output shown in the SciTE output pane when you do Ctrl+F5.

@Jos, I just created a sample Test Au3 with a simple MsgBox which throw the same error.

Adding here that when I re-installed AutoIT, I also updated using the SciTE4AutoIt3.exe (18.708.1148.0) and autoit-v3-setup.exe (3.3.14.5)

I like to see the output in the SciTE output pane, not a msgbox!
This is the bottom window which is toggled by F8.

Jos

[DigDeep]

Nothing happens when using F8 and I don't see any keystrokes for F8 under Tools also.

[Jos]

The option is available under View/Output (F8).
Which SciTE version are you running? (Help/About)
.. .  and you didn't answer the question whether you are running the latest version of SciTE4AutoIt3 ? (Did you also install that separate installer recently?)

Jos

[DigDeep]

1. Yes I see the F8 option Checked under View/Output

2. SciTE version 4.1.0

3. SciTE4AutoIt3.exe (18.708.1148.0)

I did not installed anything additional apart from what I always install from the AutoIT Downloads page.

Packages installed from https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads/

• autoit-v3-setup.exe - 3.3.14.5
• From download Editor:
  • SciTE4AutoIt3.exe - 18.708.1148.0
  • Tidy - 18.708.1148.0

Ok, so now it need that SciTE output pane information when you do Ctrl+F5.

Should show something like:

Just Cut&Paste the text in a reply.

@Jos, here's the output from CTRL+5.

To let you know, the \USERNAME\ = my machine Username. That's PII so have changed here.

Ok, that looks normal.

The first error makes no sense to me yet as  _WinAPI_GetTempFileName() is part of WinApiFiles.au3 which is included via the WinAPi.au3, so could you check whether your see that too in your setup by checking these include files?
The second error makes sense because the script fails before that variable is declared.

Jos
 

[DigDeep]

Yes I see the  WinApiFiles.au3 in the Includes.

[Jos]

... yes ....and does all look good? 
Try this for me please:

• Open "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.au3".
• Scroll down to line 1349 and put you cursor on _WinAPI_GetTempFileName
• Hit Ctrl+J       (This should open WinApiFiles.au3 and jump to the func. Check the directory)
• Scroll to line 42 containing #Include <WinAPi.au3> and put the cursor on #Include
• Hit Alt + I   (This should open WinApi.au3 .... check from which directory)

Remember i had the exact same error a while back? we even discussed it in PM.

My guess is everything is going to be fine in the files, as mines were.

1. Scroll down to line 1349 and put you cursor on _WinAPI_GetTempFileName

Hit Ctrl+J       (This should open WinApiFiles.au3 and jump to the func. Check the directory)

Result: Unable to find function definition: If

I think that's not the _WinAPI_GetTempFileName func. On my machine it shows at line 1368. I tried to go to the line 1368 > kept the cursor on the Func and hit CTRL+J. It said "Unable to find function definition: _WinAPI_GetTempFileName". I did F1 to open the Help file > It opens but does not take me directly to the Func. Help file shows Blank page.

 

2. Scroll to line 42 containing #Include <WinAPi.au3> and put the cursor on #Include

Hit Alt + I   (This should open WinApi.au3 .... check from which directory)

Result: Yes it opens the WinAPI.au3 from "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include"

 

I doubt if this is due to bad installation, though I had tried re-installing multiple times.

Did I take the installation steps mentioned above correctly? that's the same way I have been doing since 5 years now.

[DigDeep]

@Jos, also to let you know I turned ON my other machine which I had been using until last week for all coding and I see the:

SciTE version: 3.7.3

SciTE4AutoIt3.exe: 17.224.935.0

There are no issues on that machine. So I will try to uninstall on the issue related machine and install old version and check.

[Jos]

Sorry... i indeed meant  1368 with the line for _WinAPI_GetTempFileName .

So we are getting somewhere.

Ok, this is correct. Scroll down to line 14: #include "WinAPIFiles.au3" and do again Alt+I, this should open "WinAPIFiles.au3". Check if it is in the proper directory and whether it contains the Func _WinAPI_GetTempFileName() on line 1321.
