Error on script registered on GMCP event

[cyril duez]

Hello,

I have created a simple script (called GMCP) which is registered upon gmcp.char

It only contains : display(gmcp)

Now when i received the GMCP event i have this message in the debug window : "LUA: ERROR running script GMCP (GMCP) ERROR: attempt to call a nil value"

I have tested this on the latest release (3.0.iota) and i have built the latest commit (e5b832b) but i get the same result.

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Could you attach a screenshot of your script?

Of course, here it is.

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Do you have any loading errors at the start of Mudlet?

This is the message i get in the terminal on startup :

cTelnet::encodingChanged() called!
error: ./en_US.aff: cannot open
error: ./en_US.dic: cannot open
error: ./en_US.aff: cannot open

FYI, when i save the script or when i click on it on the left sidebar, the script is executed and i see the content of the gmcp object in the main window without problem. The issue occurs only when mudlet receive the gmcp message and then try to execute the script.

[Stephen Lyons (slysven)]

The CTelnet::encodingChanged() message is normal.
The others look like you are missing the hunspell spell-checker system - not quite sure how it is done on all platforms but on Linux you will want at least the hunspell-en-us (we default to en-US) DICTIONARY file as well as libhunspell the RUNTIME LIBRARIES (and libhunspell-dev the DEVELOPMENT header files if you are building Mudlet from source). It seems you do not have the first and/or the second of these to hand. On windows the situation is less clear to me but I suspect you need the dictionary and associated affixes files en_US.dic & en_US.aif respectively to be in the same directory as the executable.

[cyril duez (siril)]

I have installed the hunspell-en to clear the message.

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Sorry, we got distracted by the missing dictionary. Are you still having the issue?

[cyril duez (siril)]

I just tried 28fda4d and yes, i have still the issue.

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

No immediate answer for this is coming up. gmcp table should always be
present and Mudlet does not delete it.

Could you try the next two steps:
* see if it happens on a new profile
* record a video showing the issue, also include that running the script
directly works fine

Apologies for the issue and appreciate your patience in troubleshooting
this.

Any luck with this?

[cyril duez (siril)]

I did reproduced the issue with a new profile.

I might have the video ready in a couple of weeks or so as i need more time.

It is not as simple that you need to have a function with the same name as as the script name, "GMCP"?

function GMCP()
  display(gmcp)
end

[cyril duez (siril)]

Actually it is simple than that, thank you!

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Can't believe I missed this either, hah.
