XojoScript Compile Error

Oliver_Scott-Brown · June 21, 2015, 2:26pm

Where do I find compile errors for XojoScript? I see the scripting errors section but the error numbers do not go up to 196. I am getting error 196?

Thanks

I posted two replies, but they are not showing. I posted a rather long method, maybe that is the problem… So…

You can get error details from: http://documentation.xojo.com/index.php/XojoScript.Errors

and here is a github gist for the method I was speaking about:

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/jcowgar/cf806246f77d8061348b

gistfile1.xojo_code

Function ErrorToString(Extends xs As XojoScript, error As XojoScript.Errors) As String
  #Pragma Unused xs
  
  // You can reuse this method in your projects to convert the error code
  // to a string to display to the user.
  
  Static errors As New Dictionary( _
  XojoScript.Errors.Syntax: "Syntax does not make sense.", _
  XojoScript.Errors.TypeMismatch: "Type mismatch.", _
  XojoScript.Errors.ParserStackOverflow: "The parser's internal stack has overflowed.", _

It converts an error code into a usable string, helpful for reporting errors to your users.

This is the IDE script btw so I don’t believe I have control over error reporting. Thanks

Maybe post your script?

IDE Script <> XojoScript.

Not true
IDE scripting IS Xojo Script just it has a special context so aspects of the IDE are exposed to it

Oliver_Scott-Brown · June 21, 2015, 10:10pm

True but I never said this wasn’t an IDE script. I presume the compile error is directly related to XojoScript. Thanks

196 looks like missing argument
