3.3.14.2 AU3stripper IE.au3 Objevent unsolvable func ERR

[TouchOdeath]

#include <IE.au3>
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Au3Stripper=y
Local $oIE = _IECreate("https://" & "somesite.com", 0, 1, 1)

I recently updated to 3.3.14.2

If I build this script I consistently get:

-### StripOnly/StripFunc Error: Found ObjEvent() statement using unsolvable Func, which will/could lead to removal of Funcs that are used by this Function.
>### current Func: __ieinternalerrorhandlerderegister
E:\apps\AutoIt3\include\IE.au3(2570,1) Warning for line:$__g_oIEErrorHandler = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", $__g_sIEUserErrorHandler) 

I reinstalled autoit to make sure that wasn't the issue, but didn't fix the problem.  Any ideas??  For now I'll downgrade til a solution is found.

At the moment you have to use the function:

ObjEvent()

EDIT:
Example 1 in HelpFile use it like this:

; Error monitoring. This will trap all COM errors while alive.
    ; This particular object is declared as local, meaning after the function returns it will not exist.
    Local $oErrorHandler = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "_ErrFunc")

 

Hint
For now I suggest to you to use it as Global scope, as this is easier, but not prefered/recomended.

[TouchOdeath]

If you look in IE.au3 $__g_oIEErrorHandler is already declard Global....

[mLipok]

But did you use :

_IEErrorHandlerRegister()

and btw. It looks like your snippet works well (at least for me).

Can you provide any repro script for you issue ?

Edited October 1, 2015 by mLipok

[TouchOdeath]

mLipok, everything is in the first post, nothing is left out.  While that wasn't the script I used to orginally stumbled upon the error, I tried to make a script with the least amount of code and still get the error so I can show everyone.  A script as simple as that shouldn't give me any problems but it does.

[mLipok]

Ok I use exactly the same snippet from you OP.

#include <IE.au3>
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Au3Stripper=y
Local $oIE = _IECreate("https://" & "somesite.com", 0, 1, 1)

here is my console output:

Show me yours.

 

btw.

You are not using exactly the same snippet like in your OP, as you get this error:

-### StripOnly/StripFunc Error: Found ObjEvent() statement using unsolvable Func, which will/could lead to removal of Funcs that are used by this Function.

did you use
 

#Au3Stripper_Parameters=/SO

or /SF or /SV 

??

Sorry

I just realized that 

#Au3Stripper_Parameters=/SO

is deffault, as I use /MO so this was look for me very strange.

And I miss / not understand you correctly you are trying to compile / build   instead RUN - like I was doing few last post.

EDIT:

Wait a moment..

[TouchOdeath]

UEZ, I replaced all 3 files, same result :/

mLipok, the /MO builds without error, but that still doesn't answer the question as to why the default /SO still errors.  I still don't know if anyone else builds the same 3 lines of codes do they get the same build results as me.  If they didn't then that might mean it may be an installation problem of some sort....

It is only a warrning.

You must read this 3 lines toogether

-### StripOnly/StripFunc Error: Found ObjEvent() statement using unsolvable Func, which will/could lead to removal of Funcs that are used by this Function.
>### current Func: __ieinternalerrorhandlerderegister
e:\apps\autoit3\include\ie.au3(2570,1) Warning for line:$__g_oIEErrorHandler = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", $__g_sIEUserErrorHandler)

 

But this realy could be a problem in some cases.

So try to 

1. Run
2. Compile and run EXE

this following 2 examples:

 

EXAMPLE 1:

#include <IE.au3>
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Au3Stripper=y

Local $oIE = _IECreate("https://" & "somesite.com", 0, 1, 1)

; Deliberately cause error by calling non-existing method
$oIE.PlayMeARockAndRollSong()

 

EXAMPLE 2:

#include <IE.au3>
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Au3Stripper=y

_IEErrorHandlerRegister(__IEInternalErrorHandler)

Local $oIE = _IECreate("https://" & "somesite.com", 0, 1, 1)

; Deliberately cause error by calling non-existing method
$oIE.PlayMeARockAndRollSong()

Nah ... let's make sure we state proper/true statements here!

The Error/Warning generated by au3stripper is pretty clear and discussed many times. It is clear that ie,au3 isn't coded with au3stripper in mind so you better make sure it doesn't break the script!

mLipok, I'll run your tests when I come back from the Dr, will be back shortly.  It would really be nice to know if yalls build output throws the same error or not.

For console output ther would be no differences.
But just try to run, to see what happen.

I don't really understand why run and then compile and run.... but I'll post as much information as possible.

 

When you only RUN then you see that Example 1 and Example 2 put different errors in console output.
The first ends with an error.
The second captures the error, reports it, and ends up normal.

When you compile and Run EXE then you see that 
The first example ends with an MsgBox with AutoIt error.
The second example ends without any MsgBox.

 

As jos said:

The Error/Warning generated by au3stripper is pretty clear and discussed many times. It is clear that ie,au3 isn't coded with au3stripper in mind so you better make sure it doesn't break the script!

 

And I want to say:

In your case this is the only warning you to know that the use /SO can cause problems in some particular case.
Because after a fashion in your case should not cause the error. Provided the proper use of the UDF.

In this case I used the:

_IEErrorHandlerRegister(__IEInternalErrorHandler)

to illustrate to you when your case could prove to be fatal (I mean you see an AutoIt Error MsgBox).

But this usage of:

_IEErrorHandlerRegister(__IEInternalErrorHandler)

Has nothing to do with Au3Stripper.
So I again point you to what Jos said: "you better make sure it doesn't break the script!"

---

btw.

If you want to see when Au3Stripper can show you this warrning, and it will have a very important significance

just try to use this script:

#include <IE.au3>
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Au3Stripper=y
#Au3Stripper_Parameters=/SO

Call(Example, 1)
Call("Example", 2)

$sTest = "Example"
Call($sTest, 3)

$sTest2 = "Example2"
Call($sTest2, 4)

Func Example($vParam)
    MsgBox(0, 'test', $vParam)
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Func Example2($vParam)
    ; how you think did this MsgBox will appear, after run this as compiled EXE  ?
    MsgBox(0, 'test2', $vParam)
EndFunc   ;==>Example2

Well.. your doing two completely different things.... your going to get different output.... Building creates the exe which is an entirely different process, while run uses AutoIt3.exe to run the script....

Your instructions were confusing as I couldn't figure out what you wanted me to post, or what was the point of your instructions which were:

So try to 

1. Run
2. Compile and run EXE

this following 2 examples:

Ok so run, then compile exe and run.....And then what?  Post my results of run and build?  Or just see if they work?  Seems to me there may have been an instruction missing.

When I see errors or warnings, I generally like to fix them so their not even a 'potential' problem.  In my particular case, I thought it was funny that after upgrading to 3.3.14.2 using only one function (_IECreate), IE.au3 which comes packed with autoit gave au3 stripper warning.  I thought it would be a good idea to let someone know, or maybe it was an installation problem of some sort/some user error on my part, I didn't know thats why I'm here.

e:\apps\autoit3\include\ie.au3(2570,1) Warning for line:$__g_oIEErrorHandler = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", $__g_sIEUserErrorHandler) 

-#############################################################################################
-#### Au3Stripper Found   1 Error(s)!!!!    This means your script could have problems running properly.  ####
-#############################################################################################

On the first line they are calling it a Warning.  On the the 4th line they are calling it an error.  So which is it a warning or an error?

"-#### Au3Stripper Found   1 Error(s)!!!!    This means your script could have problems running properly.  ####"

From that above and what Jos said, it could be either error or warning, just have to test to see if it breaks your script or not, in which case it does not so I guess everytime I build my main project I'll just have to ignore those warnings because my main program seems fine.  As Jos has stated, IE.au3 wasn't programmed with au3stripper in mind.  Good to know, thanks again for your help mLipok and Jos!!

I am Actually not in favor of the testing approach, but prefer the "I understand what I am doing and know that it will not cause an error" approach.
It is pretty simple: Figure out which Func's potentially are being called by that statement and ensure these Func's won't be stripped with:

#Au3Stripper_Ignore_Funcs=                 Do not Strip these functions
