[SOLVED] Pickling error

#1 Post by Thundy »

Hey alll. someone got this error whilst testing my game. Never seen this one before

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "renpy/common/00action_file.rpy", line 361, in __call__
renpy.save(fn, extra_info=save_name)
PicklingError: Can't pickle : attribute lookup __builtin__.function failed

A tricky one to trace if it only occurs on one machine and not all. As a preliminary check:

Have you defined any new python Classes in your game or import any external libraries? Do all those classes inherit from object?
Are you manipulating the store anywhere and do all the items placed in it support __setstate__ if needed?

As guesswork from the traceback too; Are you overloading the name 'function' anywhere? (as a variable, function, method or class attribute)

Hi Remix. I have a lot of classes but all inherit from object. I do import a couple of libraries such as OS. I will post the code for my class declarations in the morning if it is any use.

os, sys, subprocess, io are all basically part of renpy (along with the extras detailed in renpy/bootstrap) and should not cause problems unless a saved variable or attribute directly references them.

Can you replicate the error on your own system?
Does setting:

Code: Select all

init python:
    config.use_cpickle = False
solve it? (or at least provide a better traceback?)

Hi remix

so here is the new traceback.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

I discovered the issue once i had my epiphany. I had defined a function called PrettyName (which i renamed pretyName during fault finding) which i inadvertantly called during parsing my xml file as a variable. Silly me!

Well done on fixing it. The cPickle False traceback is a lot more useful I see :)
