"revnewscripteditor.1" opens an empty script

Post by jmburnod » Sat Oct 08, 2016 5:09 pm

Hi All,
When I open (on Lc8.1.1) a stack which works fine on Lc 7.0.6, it open a stack
"revnewscripteditor.1" with an empty script, "revnewscripteditor.1" is not in the stacks but there is a "revscripteditor.8.rev" stack.
Edit: same result with lc > 7.0.6
Best

This can happen if there is an error in the script that prevents the engine from compiling it. Comment out the entire script in 7.0.6 and then try opening the stack in a higher version of LC. It should open normally, then you can uncomment handlers until you find the error.

Hi Jacque,
Thanks again
That is first time I get this case. I expected that the debugger show error line in error object script.
I found the mistake using messages watcher.
