 Posted: Wed Oct 03, 2007 12:55 am Post subject: Macro-Recording Error |
 |
|
The macro I am trying to record creates following line: | Code: | | <include name="XYZ/**" id="XYZ" /> |
from XYZ, which is the first and only word in the row.
| Code: | Scripting Error :> File: E:\zfw\zScript\Macro0.js (5:23) >> zeus.MoveDocumentEndEx
Reason: '}' erwartet
Error parsing 'E:\zfw\zScript\Macro0.js' macro script.Macro script generated '2' Debug, Error and/or Warning message(s). |
My default scripting-engine is JScript. If I do it with LUA as default it works flawlessly. |

Hi Amix,
Can you post the macro script that creates this error message 
When I record a macro to create this text it works fine for me 
Here is the macro I recorded: | Code: | function key_macro()
{
zeus.screen_update_disable
zeus.write("<include name=\"XYZ/**\" id=\"XYZ\" />\n")
zeus.screen_update_enable
zeus.screen_update
}
key_macro() // run the macro |
Cheers Jussi |

This is yesterday's macro (the one I reported):
| Code: | function key_macro()
{
zeus.screen_update_disable
zeus.write("<include name=\"")
zeus.MoveDocumentEndEx
zeus.write("/**\"")
zeus.MarkBlockSet
zeus.MoveWordPrevious
zeus.MoveWordPrevious
zeus.MoveWordNext
zeus.MoveWordNext
zeus.MarkBlockReset
zeus.none
zeus.MarkBlockSet
zeus.MoveWordNext
zeus.MarkBlockReset
zeus.MarkCopyEx
zeus.MoveDocumentEndEx
zeus.write(" id=\"")
zeus.MarkPasteEx
zeus.BackspaceSmart
zeus.write("\" />")
zeus.MoveLineDown
zeus.MoveLineHome
zeus.screen_update_enable
zeus.screen_update
}
key_macro() // run the macro |
It has some more stuff (blurb) in it, since I did a mistake while recording but did not want to re-record.
I then re-recorded it with Lua set as default (and being a bit more intelligent about what I typed). This is it: | Code: | function key_macro()
screen_update_disable()
print("<include name=\"")
MarkBlockSet()
MoveWordNext()
MarkBlockReset()
MarkCopyEx()
print("\"")
MoveLineLeftEx()
print("/**")
MoveDocumentEndEx()
print(" id=\"")
MarkPasteEx()
print("\" />")
MoveLineDown()
MoveLineHome()
screen_update_enable()
screen_update()
end
key_macro() -- run the macro |
This one worked.
P.S. The JScript file seems to have some binary data in it (but one can easily chose view-as-text-only without garbage in TotalCommander's Viewer.exe) |

That is very interesting. The macro contains the following Zeus function which is causing the problem:
I have never seen that before and I'm not even sure how you managed to record it
I suspect it was caused by using the mouse while recording the macro
For example using the close document cross (i.e top right corner) while recording a macro will cause a similar sort of macro scripting error.

It just happened again:
| Code: | function key_macro()
{
zeus.screen_update_disable
zeus.MoveWordNextEx
zeus.MoveLineLeftEx
zeus.MarkBlockSet
zeus.MoveWordNext
zeus.MoveWordNext
zeus.MarkBlockReset
zeus.MarkDeleteEx
zeus.write("var ")
zeus.MoveWordNextEx
zeus.write("= ")
zeus.MoveDocumentEndEx
zeus.write(";")
zeus.MoveLineDown
zeus.MoveLineHome
zeus.screen_update_enable
zeus.screen_update
}
key_macro() // run the macro |
It seems it happens each time I record a macro using the jscript scripting engine as default.

"erwartet" is german for "expected".
But I see no 'zeus.none' this time. Of course, this is no hassle, since I can easily switch on the LUA interpreter. I just thought you may be interesting in this. |

This is very strange. The macro looks just fine.

Did this happen after running Zeus constantly for a long while
My hunch is this is some sort of memory leak
I did a search of the Web and did come across a few reports suggesting the WSH JScript does leak memory.

Could be 
However, it happens each time I use it, so also after rebooting the machine, starting Zeus anew.

At least it is well known to do so in IExplorer. So this may well be true. |

I can't be sure but I have a hunch this bug might be related to the mysterious abort bug
http://www.zeusedit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1230
The abort bug definitely caused by some sort of corruption in the memory manager and I'm hoping to have a fix for this shortly.

This bug may/may not have been fixed in the latest Zeus patch
So any users experiencing this error should first make sure they are running Zeus Version 3.9k or higher which is found here:

Sorry to disapoint you , still there.
But...
I added ; at each line of the 'Macro0.js'. Then I saved the macro under a different name, loaded it and it worked!
First I had set back the engine to LUA, but I rechecked with the default scripting engine set to JS. In both cases it worked. JS does not require the ; at every place, but maybe you should try to add it ? I also noticed, that there is blanks behind each line, may be, that some invisible binary data got into the way (remember, last time I tried loading the 'Macro0.js' with my file-viewer, I got the hex-display due to binary chars), which got removed by my manual edit now, when I added the semicolon. Not sure, but maybe this helps ?
| Code: | function key_macro()
{
zeus.screen_update_disable;
zeus.MoveWordNextEx;
zeus.MarkBlockSet;
zeus.MoveWordPrevious;
zeus.MoveWordPrevious;
zeus.MarkBlockReset;
zeus.MarkDeleteEx;
zeus.MoveDocumentEndEx;
zeus.MoveLineDown;
zeus.MoveLineHome;
zeus.screen_update_enable;
zeus.screen_update;
}
key_macro(); // run the macro |

I'm a bit confused
If I take you broken macro code: | Code: | function key_macro()
{
zeus.screen_update_disable
zeus.MoveWordNextEx
zeus.MarkBlockSet
zeus.MoveWordPrevious
zeus.MoveWordPrevious
zeus.MarkBlockReset
zeus.MarkDeleteEx
zeus.MoveDocumentEndEx
zeus.MoveLineDown
zeus.MoveLineHome
zeus.screen_update_enable
zeus.screen_update
}
key_macro() // run the macro |
and save it to a c:\temp\test.js and the run it via the Macros, Execute Script menu I don't get any errors reported and the macro runs fine
If you do the same do you get the error message
If you do then that should be easy enough to fix, since it just means Zeus is writing JScript that is not syntactically valid (i.e. getting Zeus to add in these semi colons is very easy todo).

Okay, I have played around a little. Here are the steps to reproduce:Set default scripting engine to jscript. Create new text-file, paste some text into it. Run it via F8. <- Boom! Macro breaks. The last macro I recorded, which definitley breaks on my system is attached. I have zipped it. That means, it should be preserved as it is on my filesystem. The interesting thing (and the reason I zipped it), is, that it seems to contain binary-characters. It think so, because when I open it with the viewer utility of my file-manager it gets displayed in the hex-mode. That was the case the last time, too. It is not, however, the case with LUA macros (and those don't break). Since I am just a scripting, and you are a (very dynamic) hardcode guy (aka binary wizard), I hope you know how to discover it.  I only believe what I see, lol.
P.S. Can't attach files to the forum so I'll send it as email.
P.P.S. We're going to get that little bastard and slap it into its face! |

Hi amix,
You where spot on about the binary data
Due to a small bug in the Zeus WSH scripting engine code, macros where getting recorded with unwanted binary information.
Luckily it should be easy enough to fix. I'll have a fix for this shortly

This bug should now be fixed
I have updated the lastest Zeus patch with this fix. To fix this bug just re-apply the patch from this link:
http://www.zeusedit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1274
NOTE: The version of Zeus shown in the about dialog should read: 3.96ka
