JavaScript crashes

[Happy]

Hi,

I'm using build 859.

When I create a new JavaScript inside EA-Scripting, nowadays a script skeleton is created:

Code: [Select]

!INC Local Scripts.EAConstants-JScript

/*
 * Script Name:
 * Author:
 * Purpose:
 * Date:
 */
 
function main()
{
      // TODO: Enter script code here!
}

main();
When I run this script, I'm getting an error message telling me SScripter.exe - Error in application (Fehler in Anwendung).

Some of my Scripts are still working, but when I edit them I get this error too.

Whats going wrong?

Thx in advance
H

Try 8.0.860 (released today)
I think it fixes exactly that issue.

Great! I will have a look as soon as we can get it via our IT-Service department. (Hopefully this week). An I hope it works then...

Do you know what causes this feature? (Maybe theres a workaround?)

Meanwhile I can say this failure does not exist in build 845 (very likely also in 850)  but exists at least since build 857!  

BTW: Is there any public bug issue list for EA? (Just for interest)

No, sadly not. This is something that has been requested by users on this forum numerous times, but I doubt Sparx is inclined to give in.

Where can I participate in this request?

P.S.: In addition: Sparx must not be inclined to give in, they should be happy to serve their customers! And a proper public bug tracking is a must-have!

I did a quick search on the forum and found a topic dating jan 2005!
and a more recent one

The only way to get "officially" noted by Sparx is to send a feature request using the link on the bottom of the page.

Please use the same title as the forum topic, and add a little note to the topic that you've sent a feature request as well.

It's a twisted/retarded way of voting for features, but given the lack of any public bug/feature tracking system...  :-/

Just created a Feature Request (Public Bug/Feature Tracking)!

Got in touch with the build 860 and it works now!

Great work done!
