consolewrite not writing nething to console

[Jos]

Ok, so you have issues to get the output in the SciTE Outputpane.
Could it be you have chosen for the x64 in stead of the x86 version of AutoIt at install time and could you try reinstalling AutoIt3 with the x86 option?

I also tried this piece of code :

Sleep(5000)
ConsoleWrite('! = Red' & @CRLF) ; ! = red text color

Everything os closed in a second. the output comes right away, without the wait. Like if nothing in the script is read or done. just a syntax check, or something like that...

I'm pretty sure it's a simple dumb option ... It's driving me crazy !

Fully reinstalled changing only this 2 parameters :

 

This is the output of the console after reinstalling autoit alone :

 

And this is the output after reinstalling Scite4autoit3 :

Any toughts ?

I alos tried to compile the script and launch the resulting exe (alone AND from a command line) no waiting either ...

Strange.....because the AutoIt3Wrapper output you see is simply ConsoleWrite() output.
Can you Cut&Paste the full content from the SciTE output pane into a codebox (<>) in a reply please?

[Jos]

ah ....wait a sec: don't tell you are trying to run a file from a google drive directory? Try a script file from a  C drive to see if that works..

I copied the file a the root of C:; and it worked right away.

also moved the folder of all my projects to the root of another hard drive, and it worked like a charm too.

 

The Q drive on which I'm working is a cryptomator drive, stored on a google drive.

 

I'd like to understand the difference it makes for autoit to work from such a drive, because I'm using this solution since a long time, and it works with Vscode, powershell, python, and even bash without problems.

 

And more important : I work in IT, and I never faces a problem like that. I'd like to understand the underlying technical difference.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Side topic : was there a warning somewhere in the forum or the help file about google drives ? I didn't tough to check that part at first.

If it's a recurrent problem, is there a warning somechere that I missed ?

That's something that cropped up recently and this person had similar problems with that one script. Since you mentioned a reinstall etc , it didn't dawn on me right away that that could be the issue.

Same here (40+ years  )  and it was the first time I saw this. guess there must be something with the file not being physically there so isn't read properly by Autoit3.exe.
Can't test as I do not have it available in my setup.

This one?

https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/196149-autoit-scripts-fail-to-run-or-compile-when-scriptdir-is-a-google-drive-file-stream-drive/

Problem solved for me :

I switched my scripts and files on a local hard drive, in a folder that I maintain/backup using gitlab. I'm done with google drive.

I also tried to create a new vault in cryptomator, from a fixed drive, not stored in a google drive, onedrive or dropbox ...

The problem is still the same.

 

@GokAy : well done. I'm not sure I would have find this solution by myself. I really can't figure a link between the sync clients and files stored on a hard drive.

Unless those sync clients are doing a nasty job at ... syncing ! FFS !

 

Anyway, this issue is not related to autoit itself, I just hope others than me would find it out later.

 

Thanks to you all for the work, and have a nice day, and merry Christmas !
