IsObj - The requested action with this object has failed.

[philkryder]

I received the following error when trying to use _IEGetObjById on a browser object that I had obtained by using _IEAttach.

Shouldn't the code have gotten a 1 or 0 from IsObj and continued by returning with the standard message from _IEGetObjById that there was no match for the requested ID?
I'd appreciate any guidance on next steps to debug.

Read this:

 How to use IE.au3  UDF with  AutoIt v3.3.14.x  

And post here your example code and also SciTE console output.

 

[philkryder]

Is that post saying that I MUST have my own error handler?
I don't really want my own error handler.

Isn't there error handling built in to IE.au3?

Regarding posting my code.

I don't know how to make a reproducer for this.
It is part of a very long program that just stops rather than returning the error code saying that there was no match for the ID I asked about.
Moreover, the ID is on the page when I use F12 to debug the source.

No you do not must have.
Then you do not know exactly what happend to your script - How you want to take this knowledge ?
And in Au3.3.14.x if you do not have COM error handler then in case COM error your script will be stopped with that error.

Isn't there error handling built in to IE.au3?

Yes, and exactly in this link (given to you post #2)  I describe how to use them properly .
In current IE.au3 version    YOU MUST INITIATE this internal error handler , as IE.au3 have that error handler but not initiated.

In that case , just post from SciTE console output some wider content because as I suppose the problem araise somewhere before.

This script told you that you are using wrong object as a parameter, or this object is not ready.

 

I think so as if you pass to:

_IEGetObjById(ByRef $oObject, $sID)

correct $oObject which should be ready, then you should not have problem with getting document object.

The _IELoadWait not always make the job in exactly that way as you suppose. So this object could still be "in progress".

Thank you mLipok for helping me find a way to get more information.

I incorporated both your error handler and your enhanced load wait for all frames.

I then also added trace logic into the _IEGetObjById UDF.
I also use a brute force check to see that the page is fully loaded by using ^a and ^c to select and copy the entire page and check for a field at the end of the page before proceeding>

I now see err.number is:         0x80020008
and
Examination of the trace shows the error is created on line 1914 in _IEGetObjById which is shown below in context and is:
-->If IsObj($oObject.document.getElementById($sID)) Then

***what can I do to avoid this error?***
The ID is in fact on the page when I use F12 to inspect the code.

 

Func _IEGetObjById(ByRef $oObject, $sID)
    _pk_trace(".... in _IEGetObjById ... 1" & @CRLF)

    If Not IsObj($oObject) Then
        __IEConsoleWriteError("Error", "_IEGetObjById", "$_IESTATUS_InvalidDataType")
        Return SetError($_IESTATUS_InvalidDataType, 1, 0)
    EndIf

    _pk_trace(".... in _IEGetObjById ... 2" & @CRLF)
    ;
    If Not __IEIsObjType($oObject, "browserdom") Then
        __IEConsoleWriteError("Error", "_IEGetObById", "$_IESTATUS_InvalidObjectType")
        Return SetError($_IESTATUS_InvalidObjectType, 1, 0)
    EndIf
    _pk_trace(".... in _IEGetObjById ... 3" & @CRLF)
    ;
    If IsObj($oObject.document.getElementById($sID)) Then
        _pk_trace(".... in _IEGetObjById ... 4" & @CRLF)
        Return SetError($_IESTATUS_Success, 0, $oObject.document.getElementById($sID))
    Else
        _pk_trace(".... in _IEGetObjById ... 5" & @CRLF)
        __IEConsoleWriteError("Warning", "_IEGetObjById", "$_IESTATUS_NoMatch", $sID)
        Return SetError($_IESTATUS_NoMatch, 2, 0)
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_IEGetObjById

I guessing you are using AutoIt 3.3.14.x if so ..... Unfortunately I think this is probably the same problem as described here:
https://www.autoitscript.com/trac/autoit/ticket/3097

Try to compile with x64 version of 3.3.14.x
Or try your script with 3.3.12.x

And back with results.

[philkryder]

Thanks mLipok 

Is there a way to get SCITE to run the x64 compiler?

I prefer to run with F5 for the better diagnostics rather than compile and execute an exe which makes the line numbers hard to fathom.

 

 

[philkryder]

mLipok -

I ended up going back to 3.3.12

It sounds like this is a well know issue with Objects in 3.3.14
?Do you have any insight into plans for fix/revision?

 

[philkryder]

also,

is there any way to tell if in fact the compile was done for x64 when using F5 to run from SCITE?

Sure, look at the OutputPane and see which aut2exe is used. It will be either aut2exe.exe or aut2exe_x64.exe.

[mLipok]

You can also use:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=Y

 

[Jos]

Only when the Full SciTE4Autoit3 is installed!
