Syntax check: scite lite VS Scite full

[t0nZ]

Hi to all, this my first post, but i used autoit from 2004, and i have readed so many post ...

I have used scite lite for all my projects, and I liked to use external tools like Koda outside the editor.

Now I'am working on a interesting script, and I just have start using Scite Full.

Question: why the syntax check reports a lot more warnings (es. undeclared variables) ?

How to configure the syntax check ?

Thanks in advance.

This warning normally means that the script is coded "badly" or you are really missing variables.

Maybe you could show an "small"example were you get this au3chek warning so we can see what is happening.

You could ofcourse just not run au3check but I prefer that it tell me the mistakes I made.

Really I know my code is coded "badly" and I want to clean my code from warnings in the final versions of my works.

But now my exact question is: So Scite lite don't use aucheck, but an embedded syntax checker less precise ???

Bytheway I show you an example of the warnings that scite lite don't show:

The internal (AutoIt3) lexer doesn't do more than lexer for valid lines but only reports errors when they are encountered. Au3check is trying to interpret the script and reports on (possible) issues like using a variable before it has seen it declared. The first warning just tells you that you have a "Local" statement in the main part of your script which implies that the variable is Global and not local.

by the way: where have you defined these parameters: params:-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6 as this tells au3check to report all possible issues?

Possibly you have this in your script:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6

Yes ! I have exactly that line, and seems Scite lite ignored it, and this fine to me.

Now I proceed with Scite full, and with more polished code

And I want to check the meaning of these params.

Thank you

Just so you understand:

The SciTE4Autoit3 (lite) that comes with the AutoIt3 installer, will run AutoIt3.exe directly when you press F5 and thus totally ignores any Directive it doesn't recognise.

The SciTE version that comes with the SciTE4AutoIt3 installler is configured to run AutoIt3Wrapper.exe which gives you all the extra options and uses the Directives that start with "#AutoIt3Wrapper_".
