Strange behavior when you 'Check Script (Lint)'

[alex.theoto]

Ok, it took me a lot of time until I could understand when and how this bug is active...

On Linux system:
Lets say that standalone renpy is on directory /home/alex/Downloads/renpy-6.xxx/
When you run the standalone renpy.sh from terminal with the command

Code: Select all

./Downloads/renpy-6.xxx/renpy.sh

renpy opens fine but when you try to check your script, you get errors like:

Code: Select all

Statistics:

The game contains 214 dialogue blocks, containing 1,963 words and 10,256
characters, for an average of 9.2 words and 48 characters per block.

The game contains 0 menus, 26 images, and 30 screens.


Lint is not a substitute for thorough testing. Remember to update Ren'Py
before releasing. New releases fix bugs and improve compatibility.

Now, if I open renpy from terminal by:

Code: Select all

cd Downloads/renpy-6.xxx/
./renpy.sh

The check script works fine.

If I go at the root directory of my disk and give:

Code: Select all

cd /
./home/alex/Downloads/renpy-6.xxx/renpy.sh

then again works fine.

So, there must be something wrong with the path for 00definitions.rpyc
Something like it search from the [startup] directory.

Sorry but I cannot explain more technically...

Where are your game files, and where is Ren'Py? It seems like you could have somehow placed Ren'Py inside your game.

[Zetsubou]

I'm experiencing the same behavior.
~/Syncthing/Renpy/renpy.sh
~/Syncthing/Renpy/Tutorial/game/
Renpy is definitely not within the game.

This happens with every game, including Tutorial and The Question.
The steps to reproduce or avoid the problem are exactly as alex.theoto said.

Similar thing happened to me when I updated windows 7 to 10, and updated ren'py to 6.99.8 prerelease.
It fixed when I moved the whole ren'py folder into a different directory (c:\) then recompiled all.

[alex.theoto]

Games are at /home/alex/RenpyGames/
The same happens if I use the version from my distribution (plus another problem but I'll discuss it on a new post).

I tried to load the games from the root directory at /renpy with users permissions but without success.
The same goes if games are at renpy's sdk folder.

Games are at /home/alex/RenpyGames
Renpy is at /home/alex/Downloads/renpy-6.99.8-sdk

Seems to be a problem with the working directory.
I just tried modifying the lint label in the launcher game to temporarily change working directories, and I didn't get any lint errors.

Code: Select all

label lint:
    python hide:
        wdir = os.getcwd()
        newWdir = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)))
        os.chdir(newWdir)

        interface.processing(_("Checking script for potential problems..."))
        lint_fn = project.current.temp_filename("lint.txt")

        project.current.launch([ 'lint', lint_fn ], wait=True)

        e = renpy.editor.editor
        e.begin(True)
        e.open(lint_fn)
        e.end()
        os.chdir(wdir)
