AUTOIT ERROR, Error Management

[BasicOs]

I did whatever is recommended in forum, Svenp com error UDF, Opt(runerrorsfatal, 0).

Some Windows 98 issues in some pcs, e.g. "AUTOIT ERROR" with "xxxxprocesslist not found xxxx"

Is there a timeout for this error msgbox in some secs?

some management error routine?

it keeps showing sad.gif same app only win 98 as two AutoitScripts try to call the PROCESSLIST() at the same time.

I prefer to ignore the error, because it is not important if the processlist routine does not execute as desired, as it is part of a bigger Scripts which do other things.

There is no timeout as for all other fatalerrors.

The runerrorsfatal apply only to run/runwait functions.

So Your script have to take care of not calling other functions with bad parameters.

I am curious to see which functions produce the error under Win98 with the corresponding error message.

If Not ProcessExists($procesos[$i]) Then here,

unable to get a list of running processes

maybe has something to do with a windows 98 qeue to control active processes as there are more scripts taking care of the processess. In windows XP works fine.

is there anyway to avoid this kind of msgs? as it is a not important part of the script but it should not give any msgbox(): problems with user

For $i = 1 To $procesos[0] Step 4
      ; msgbox(0,"",$procesos[$i + 1]&"."&$procesos[$i + 2])
      If Not ProcessExists($procesos[$i]) Then
         $wsecerro = 1
         If  FileExists($procesos[$i + 1]) Then
            Run($procesos[$i + 1], $procesos[$i + 2], $procesos[$i + 3])
         EndIf
     EndIf
  next

That code is inherently flawed. You can't iterate like that. You'll run off the end of the array almost every single time.

$procesos[0] is a list of processes, I wish to control, the end of the array is when last process is checked out. IN windows XP anyway works fine, and in windows 98 also when only one script controlling. but the problem is because there are other scripts doing the same control at the same time, when a second process is trying to do it, I get this msgbox.

What I really wish it to quit the error msgbox or try to time it out. I do not worry about the problem because there is another script which is controlling it, I worry about the message, it shows there is a problem when it is a not critical error for my script, I do not care much when this is not working indeed.

I do not want to do a winexists(Autoit Error) then send enter because it is only in windows 98 in 20% of pcs.

It is not a fault of AutoIt, but rather you going out of bound with your array.

Look at the faulty line and fix it.

If  FileExists($procesos[$i + 1]) Then

as no check is done to work out if the "+ 1" is indexing the array out of bounds or not.

If you don't think your code is broken, run this:

Const $UBOUND = 29
For $i = 1 To $UBOUND Step 4
    ConsoleWrite("$i: " & $i & @CRLF)
    If $i > $UBOUND Then ConsoleWrite("$i > $UBOUND, Index out of range." & @CRLF)
    If $i + 1 > $UBOUND Then ConsoleWrite("$i + 1 > $UBOUND, Index out of range." & @CRLF)
    If $i + 2 > $UBOUND Then ConsoleWrite("$i + 2 > $UBOUND, Index out of range." & @CRLF)
    If $i + 3 > $UBOUND Then ConsoleWrite("$i + 3 > $UBOUND, Index out of range." & @CRLF)
Next

² «4ߥ9CC²×©¦)ào.iÈmg×±¥ç-m¢¯y©è½êßç(®··²¶+×­ç(uè¬jëh×6
Const $UBOUND = 29
For $i = 1 To $UBOUND - 3 Step 4
    ConsoleWrite("$i: " & $i & @CRLF)
    If $i > $UBOUND Then ConsoleWrite("$i > $UBOUND, Index out of range." & @CRLF)
    If $i + 1 > $UBOUND Then ConsoleWrite("$i + 1 > $UBOUND, Index out of range." & @CRLF)
    If $i + 2 > $UBOUND Then ConsoleWrite("$i + 2 > $UBOUND, Index out of range." & @CRLF)
    If $i + 3 > $UBOUND Then ConsoleWrite("$i + 3 > $UBOUND, Index out of range." & @CRLF)
Next

Since you know you will be checking $i + 3, you know you don't need to go any further than $UBOUND - 3. With $UBOUND - 2, $UBOUND - 1 or $UBOUND - 0, there are not enough elements left in the array to do $i + 1, $i + 2 or $i + 3.

Edit: Removed word that snuck in.

Thanks both for answer

@You are right, with $UBOUND=29, but I do not use $UBOUND=29 but $UBOUND =28, so it works.

anyway the error i Think it may be a bug of ProcessExists that does not work in the same way under winXp and Win98.(it happened to my with a couple of funcs more under IE.au3 udfs may be ie55 version has to do)

I would like to stop the Error msg as it looks like a critical error when there is not critical one

Two things. First, you're relying on dumb luck for your code to work. Good luck with that. Second, you haven't shown any code that reproduces any problem. The only code you have shown so far is flawed. If you're not going to give code that can duplicate the problem, don't bother posting.

Thanks for helping..

Well the problem is that:

same code works perfectly in Windows XP. Tested in 10 different PCS.

same code works perfectly in Windows 98 when there is only one Script calling this line.(have to check)

same code gets this Autoit Error if a second Script or scripts-Array is calling the line OR maybe something special of Win 98

more I have tested in many different ways, it keeps allways same msg ...

I am content if somebody knows if I can stop the bug to show the Error because it is minor function I do not mind in Windows 98.

That is what the autoit Error msgbox says: " unable to get a list of running processes"

The problem is when

if ProcessExists("someProcess.exe") Then

calling that from a multiple-thread of some Scripts array, executing same line at the same time.

I am very sorry sometimes I can not explain things as well as I liked to, try to understand from the good side.

By now the only chance I found to destroy the AUTOIT ERROR " unable to get a list of running processes"

IS TO CREATE ANOTHER PROCESS WHICH:

if winexists("AUTOIT ERROR") THEN

WINACTIVATE("AUTOIT ERROR")

SEND("{ENTER}")

ENDIF

if anybody has another solution of keeping this msgbox out of user´s view tell me, thank you

[Valik]

Alright, that string really is part of AutoIt so we'll take a look. I think you could have come up with a better example, however. Posting a bugged example isn't really a good way to get us to look at something.

Edit: To be precise, posting an example demonstrating a problem but posting an example that has other unrelated bugs is not a good way.

You can use adlibenable in your script if you don't use already it.

[Valik]

JP, ProcessExists() is failing with a fatal error because it's failing to load the process functions for some reason. It's a fatal, script-ending error. Adlib won't help with that, obviously. With that said, I don't see why the code would fail. I'm going to have to figure out if I can duplicate the error and then debug it from there. There's no reason AutoIt shouldn't be loading the process-related functions.

You right it is late here I need to go to bed ...

[BasicOs]

I adlibenable is multithread? i DO NOT need to create a loop to catch the error?. I can RUN adlib in the process which remains alive..

@Valik I can not send you whole code more 300 lines this script, I send you the UDF.

$sListofProcesses = "process.exe;c:\Archivos de Programa\Project1\process.exe;c:\Archivos de Programa\Project1;" & @SW_MAXIMIZE

func multiProcessControl($sListofProcesses)
    $procesos = StringSplit($sListofProcesses, ";")
    For $i = 1 To $procesos[0] Step 4
        If Not ProcessExists($procesos[$i]) Then
            $wsecerro = 1
            If  FileExists($procesos[$i + 1]) Then
                Run($procesos[$i + 1], $procesos[$i + 2], $procesos[$i + 3])
            EndIf
        EndIf
       Next
endFunc

EDIT: Thanks .. if @OSType="WIN32_WINDOWS" THEN AdlibEnable("ControlaAUTOITERROR",1000)
