_AutoItErrorTrap.au3 (UDF) - Error detection in AutoIt scripts!

[JScript]

Function Reference

---

_AutoItErrorTrap.au3

UDF to intercept the error window of AutoIt, showing more details about the error, including ability to save and send by email!

(Detection and treatment of errors in the AutoIt scripts!)

Sintax:

; Adding the directives below, will cause your program be compiled with the indexing of the original lines shown in SciTE:
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Before=ShowOriginalLine.exe %in%
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_After=ShowOriginalLine.exe %in%
;Or you can use the program "ShowOriginalLine.exe" directly and choose the script you want to add support to show the original lines!

#include "_AutoItErrorTrap.au3"

; _AutoItErrorTrap ([sTitle [, sText [, fUseCallBack]]])
_AutoItErrorTrap()

Supports:

;Error detection in your AutoIt script and local #Includes!
;According to the AutoIt Help, the definition for "local Includes" is:
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;If "..." is used, the filename is taken to be relative to the current script.
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;This means that for you to have your UDF or other external module with support to show the original lines, one should use as follows:
#include "[path] filename" ; See the AutoIt help for more details.

Version: 0.11

_AutoItErrorTrap_(RedirectLink).html

Note: The error detection is performed in the same executable, does not requiring opening two .exes for this action! Works with CUI too.

Usage example is included! (You need to compile first, but it also work with non compiled scripts using context menu [Run Script...])

Fixes:

• 0.11.1612.2600
• 16/11/2012 -> Fixes in the codes of the files ShowOriginalLine.au3 and _AutoItErrorTrap.au3

  Was added two parameters in the Directive #ShowOriginalLine_Param:

  This is the list of supported parameters in the Directive: #ShowOriginalLine_Param:

  /SV   or /SkipAllVars             ; Skip all Variables to show original line numbers.
  /SG   or /SkipGlobalVars          ; Skip Global Variables to show original line numbers.
  /SL   or /SkipLocalVars           ; Skip Local Variables to show original line numbers.
  /OFN  or /OnlyFuncNames           ; Show original lines only in function names, ignore all other params.
  /LPL  or /LinePreviewLenght=100   ; Set the lenght of preview line, the value must be > 0 and < 1000 (Default is 50).

  0.11.0812.2600

• 08/11/2012 -> The code was completely rewritten, the code is smaller and more organized, now no longer depends on DialogBoxIndirect, has its own window class name!

  The UDF fails in the following in the error "Recursion level has been exceeded...", in this case the only way to intercept the error is using stdout, based on idea by G.Sandler (creator) in OnAutoItErrorRegister ...

  - The syntax was changed to the following:

  _AutoItErrorTrap ([sTitle [, sText [, fUseCallBack]]])

  - The parameter "fUseCallBack" indicates the mode detection of errors:

  ;True: The error detection is made in the same exe, but will fail on error "Recursion level has been exceeded..."!
  ;False: Will use "StdOut" to read the error, but will not be compatible with CUI application!

  0.10.3012.2600
• 31/10/2012 -> *The detection of AutoIt statement continuation was improved with the regex posted in the link: , made by @Varian. Thank you and all others who contributed...
• 30/10/2012 -> *Added support for "local #Includes", example:

  #include "YourInclude.au3"

  And if there are any errors in this include, the error message will look like this:

  Line 173 - GUICtrlSetData($iLbl_LineCnv, $asOSLang[50...
  Module: Functions.au3
  (File "D:DropboxAutoIt v3 - ProjectsCreateFileEmbeddedCreateFilesEmbedded.exe"):
  
  Error: Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.
  
  Environment( AutoIt:3.3.8.1 - Language:0416 - Keyboard:00010416 - OS:WIN_7 / CPU:X64 - OS:X86 )

  0.10.2912.2600
• 30/10/2012 -> *Were added the following directives:

  #ShowLine_Off
  #ShowLine_On

  They form a block that will not be indexed with the original lines, example:

  #ShowLine_Off
  $hForm = GUICreate("My GUI menu", 480, 360)
  
  $iFileMenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&File")
  $iFileItem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Open", $iFileMenu)
  GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DEFBUTTON)
  $iHelpMenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("?")
  GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Save", $iFileMenu)
  GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
  #ShowLine_On

  Without them the rows above would be as follows:

  $__iLineNumber=1 & " - " & '$hForm = GUICreate("My GUI menu", 480, 360)...'
  $hForm = GUICreate("My GUI menu", 480, 360)
  
  $__iLineNumber=3 & " - " & '$iFileMenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&File")'
  $iFileMenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&File")
  $__iLineNumber=4 & " - " & '$iFileItem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Ope...'
  $iFileItem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Open", $iFileMenu)
  $__iLineNumber=5 & " - " & 'GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DEFBUTTON)'
  GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DEFBUTTON)
  $__iLineNumber=6 & " - " & '$iHelpMenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("?")'
  $iHelpMenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("?")
  $__iLineNumber=7 & " - " & 'GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Save", $iFileMenu)'
  GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Save", $iFileMenu)
  $__iLineNumber=8 & " - " & 'GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)'
  GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)

  And the directive #ShowOriginalLine_Param with the following options:

  /SV   or /SkipAllVars             ; Skip all Variables to show original line numbers.
  /SG   or /SkipGlobalVars          ; Skip Global Variables to show original line numbers.
  /SL   or /SkipLocalVars           ; Skip Local Variables to show original line numbers.

• 29/10/2012 -> *Adding the directives below, will cause your program be compiled with the indexing of the original lines shown in SciTE:

  #AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Before=ShowOriginalLine.exe %in%
  #AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_After=ShowOriginalLine.exe %in%

  *Or you can use the program ShowOriginalLine.exe directly and choose the script you want to add support to show the original lines!

  *It was added #region Translations with the variables available for translation!

  0.10.2312.2600b

• 25/10/2012 -> Added support for viewing the last screen before the error! Now the window can expand and retract again...

  Change the hook CALLWNDRETPROC to CALLWNDPROC (better...). Added a help button [?] In the main window and minor changes in the code.

  0.10.2312.2600b

• 23/10/2012 -> *Added support to display the original line numbers in the scripts compiled! Thanks to @FireFox for this tip!

  $hAET_GETERROR = StringRegExpReplace($hAET_GETERROR, "d+[0-9]", Eval("__iLineNumber") & @CRLF)

  *Additional information suggested by @ricky03, thank you!

  *Some bugs were fixed and the file ShowOriginalLineNumbers.au3 was added in zip file.

  0.10.2112.2600b

• 21/10/2012 -> Bugs were fixed and a few functions have been rewritten!

  0.10.1912.2600b

• 19/10/2012 -> The UDF was almost completely rewritten, now no longer need to include _AdlibEnhance.au3.

  The detection of error is instant and does not consume more CPU. Interface compatibility with Windows XP

  0.10.1812.2600b

• 18/10/2012 -> Improvements such as icons on the buttons and added a button to save the error information!

  0.10.1712.2600b

• 17/10/2012 -> First release!

Very nice ! However I can fastly see the autoit window error, but you have not the time to read on it so good work

Btw, 5*

Very nice. You might want to add @Compiled in the examples, because users might try without compiling first.

[JScript]

@FireFox

Thank you my friend, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

In _AutoItErrorTrap.au3 search this line:

_Adlib_Register("__AET_ErrorTrap", $sTitle & "|" & $sText & "|" & $sSendbtn & "|" & $hParent & "|" & $hInstance & "|" & $vIcon, 15)

And change the last parameter "15" to "10", no less than!

Thanks, but can be run directly from the Windows Explorer using the right mouse button and choosing "Run Script"...

I always use SciTE and not the context menu. Well I was just advising, no worries.

[BrewManNH]

I'm getting this error: when I run Example.au3

_AutoItErrorTrapExample.au3 (22) : ==> Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:

MsgBox(4096, "Error!", $asArray[5])

MsgBox(4096, "Error!", ^ ERROR

EDIT: Follow up, I get that error in SciTE when I run it from there. I get 2 error messages from the script when run as a compiled exe, I get the AutoItTrap message, then I get the normal AutoIt error message.

EDIT #2: When I get the AutoItTrap error message, and hit continue, I get the normal AutoIt message, and then I get a Windows hard crash error message that tells me the program has stopped working.

You have to compile it and not run it from SciTE.

This is why my idea would be highly advisable to have some warning for novice users.

[JScript]

@guinness

No problem my friend, sorry if I expressed myself badly, but it is the fault of the translator ...

I will add this option in the examples!

That's what I figured, which was why I mentioned it, so JScript would know what you meant. Although the hard crash is an unfortunate error that doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy.

I knew that too!

Yeh, I'm sure there is a better approach than a hard crash.

[JScript]

Added the following code in the examples:

If Not @Compiled Then
    MsgBox(4096, "Note:", "You need to compile first!")
    Exit
EndIf

Thanks to @guinness

Appears the two dialog boxes at once?

I get your error message box, then I hit continue, then I get the AutoIt error message box.

Do we know how to stop it from happening?

[MrCreatoR]

Nice, but have been done before

And it's uses StdOut (optionaly and by default), so no hidden message boxes .

[JScript]

Thank you my friend!!!

Your UDF is excellent, just have a detail that does not exist in my UDF:

"This UDF executues additional process to monitor for errors, or, if to be more specific, original copy of a process used as a monitor module, and the main script (the code that should be executed) executed as additional process, then initial/original process monitors this copy of process."

JS

[ricky]

Hello,

very good UDF, thanks a lot.

I have one question, why when you press save, you don't start in @scriptdir?

On XP, the windows have problem...

Edit : Why don't give the possibility (with a config function) to change the text in the windows and the informations in the report?

Not even know, I had not thought about it... Feel free to change what you want

I'm still doing tests on XP...

To change the text in the window:

_AutoItErrorTrap( [sTitle [, sText [, sSendBtn [, sSaveBtn [, hParent [, hInstance [, vIcon ]]]]]])

Hi,

Here is a suggestion for you: show the non compiled script line number.

I have succeed to do it, but there's a problem : you have to treat the non compiled file before compiling it with the following script :

#include <File.au3>

Local $sScriptPath = FileOpenDialog("select au3", @ScriptDir, "AutoIt3 Script (*.au3)", 3)
If @error Then Exit -1

Local $aLines, $sOutPut = "Global $__iLineNumber=0" & @CRLF
Local $blSkipNextLine = False

_FileReadToArray($sScriptPath, $aLines)

For $iLine = 1 To $aLines[0]
If $blSkipNextLine Then
$blSkipNextLine = False
Else
$sOutPut &= "$__iLineNumber=" & $iLine & @CRLF
EndIf

$sOutPut &= $aLines[$iLine] & @CRLF

If StringRight($aLines[$iLine], 2) = " _" Then
$blSkipNextLine = True
EndIf
Next

FileWrite($sScriptPath & "_.au3", $sOutPut)

You have to add the variable $__iLineNumber in your debug window of course.

This can be improved, It's only an idea.

Proof :

Br, FireFox.
