Ignone error

[francys]

My simple code

 

Sleep(5000)

MsgBox(1,"aaa","aaa"

Sleep(3000)

MsgBox(1,"bbb","bbb")

Sleep(3000)

MsgBox(1,"ccc","ccc")

Sleep(3000)

 

Note that the above code has an error because missing parentheses. I need the autoit to ignore the error and exit. Help me.

By ignore the error you mean not show the message box?

Look at the /ErrorStdout command line option for autoit. 

[francys]

When detecting the error the program will be terminated

[francys]

Have otherwise? without the prompt?

francys,

Download and install the full SciTE4AutoIt3 package. Then when you run or compile a script, you automatically run a syntax checker which will pick up errors like this for you. That way you can correct them before you run the script live.

I do not want to fix the code. I want it to be finalized to find any errors.

[Melba23]

francys,

There is no tool that I know of that will correct the code for you. The tools to which I pointed you will tell that there is an error, what type it is, and where it is in the script - it is then up to you to fix it. After all, it is your code and so you made the error in the first place - so it seems only logical that you are the one to amend it to remove the error.

And where's my jet-pack!

You can create a script to clean up/fix other scripts...seems like a lot of work though

Because I have a script much bigger than this and sometimes it works correctly and sometimes the error, not the error code, but in other situations.

Continue studying. Thank you.

francys,

So install the SciTE4AutoIt3 package and run the script from that - then you will be pointed to the very line that caused the problem. Good luck.

Sounds like syntax is good, if it can run.  You need to do error checking, and logging, to see excatly where logic is failing within the run.  That way, you can make the piece more fail-proof.

Without the actual error, or script, we can't help

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm gong to attempt to rephrase what you are asking for since it is unclear.

Are you asking for a way to just have the application exit with no error message when you run in to a problem due to bad coding, like invalid dimensions of an array?

If you are asking for it to ignore the error and keep running, that's not going to be possible, as the error was script breaking.

As mentioned above, proper error checking is the right solution, but I'm curious as to exactly what you are looking for as the solution.

Your first MsgBox is missing its last parenthesis...Said none of the above posters.

[jdelaney]

the parenthesis is not the poster's real issue, blckpythn ...the question for the missing parenthesis was rhetorical (at least from my interpretation, explained in post #11)

"a way to just have the application exit with no error message when you run in to a problem due to bad coding."

 

Thanks for your patience

[jdelaney]

well, in his examples of bad subscripts in an array, do error checking like this, so that error does not occur:

$array = ""
For $i = 0 To UBound($array)-1
    ConsoleWrite("you wont see this, and no error, since I validated the array")
Next

The first reply to the question actually answers this.

By ignore the error you mean not show the message box?

Look at the /ErrorStdout command line option for autoit. 

To expand a little, Mat is saying to call your executable with the "/ErrorStdOut" parameter.

I'd bet you next question is if there is a way to force this option from in the script, and I'm not sure on that one, but Mat is correct in saying that this parameter will prevent the message box.

[jdelaney]

took some debugging...if you compile your script with this, no message box will display

#include <Misc.au3>

If _Singleton("test",1) Then
    MsgBox(1,1,1) ; prove no blow up
    Run(@ScriptFullPath & " " & "/ErrorStdOut")
    Sleep(5000)
    Exit
EndIf
MsgBox(1,1,2) ; prove about to blow up
$array[20] ; this is invalid, and will blowup without the above

















this will work for exe or au3:

#include <Misc.au3>

$Autoit = @ProgramFilesDir & "\autoit3\autoit3.exe"
If StringRight(@ScriptName,3) = "au3" Then
    $runcommand = $Autoit & " /ErrorStdOut " & @ScriptFullPath
Else
    $runcommand = @ScriptFullPath & " " & "/ErrorStdOut"
EndIf

If _Singleton("test",1) Then
    MsgBox(1,1,1) ; prove no blow up
    Run($runcommand)
    Sleep(5000)
    Exit
EndIf

MsgBox(1,1,2) ; prove about to blow up
$array[20] ; this is invalid, and will blowup without the above

We all know that the real solution is to do proper error checking, but in regards to what the OP was looking for, this looks great, good work!
