New Error Reporting:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

After loading the script.
Exception: Invalid key specifier skip

On almost any syntax error. Isn't this about the same as telling you to go over the whole code in order to find a typo???

Old reports always gave the line and the file!?!

Can you put together a replication of this? It looks like a bug in the error handling, but I haven't seen it here.

It happens all over the place. (It never happened before last Ren'Py update by the way if that helps narrow it down).

Last time it was in this code:

Code: Select all

                        txt += choice(["\n%s has been confiscated for a price of %s of the original value. " % (confiscate.name, multiplier)
                                               "\nThose sobs took %s from you! " % confiscate.name
                                               "\nYou've lost %s! If only you were better at managing your business... " % confiscate.name])

I forgot the commas to separate elements in the list.

Inside of method of a class (declared in init python).

But if required I can come up with more examples, other people working have reported this as well under simpler circumstances.

Did I do something weird to my game or is this a bug???

Apparently even a bad indentation in Ren'Py script causes the same error:

Code: Select all

label game_over:
    scene bg game_over
        with dissolve

Edit:

It just came to me to try the exactly same code on a new project under the same Ren'Py version. It reported the error in a normal way, specifying a line and the file where it occurred. I have no idea what I've done to my game to cause this None of the Ren'Py files below the game directory has been edited.

But I do no longer believe it's bug or at least a common one, maybe I coded something unexpected (game is prolly over 60 - 70 thousand lines of code by now).

Full report...

I'd appreciate any ideas of what can be a cause of this. Otherwise I have a very extensive code review in front of me

[PyTom]

Offhand - could you be doing something odd with config.keymap? If the skip entry in config.keymap is not present, you'd get an error like this.

[xela]

No...

Errors occurs on any bad python or Ren'Py code it would seem. Right now I am clueless to it's origin.

[xela]

Found the culprit:

Code: Select all

python early:
    config.developer = True

Apologies for wasting your time.

[bobobo1618]

We're getting this at the moment. It appears to occur wherever a syntax error happens.

[xela]

Well, it most likely is your fault like it was mine

It's prolly a similar issue, check config or anything in your script that may override Ren'Py normal functionality. This error cost me about 10 hours of wasted dev time so I wish you good luck in tracking it down.
