I don't have a lot of coding experience, did some C a few years ago, so that helps, but Lua handles things a bit differently, so I can't keep track.
I sometimes (not always) get this error when a friend or guildy logs into the game:
Date: 2013-06-14 16:57:57

Error occured in: Global

Message: ..\AddOns\Tukui\scripts\chat.lua line 335:

I have to do a reload of the ui after this happens to be able to see chat text again for that person.
Line 335 in that .lua file is this:
text = replace(text, "^|Hplayer:(.+)|h%[(.+)%]|h", "|Hplayer:%1|h|cff"..classColor.."%2|r|h")
Now I've learned that the .. indicates the concatenate function, but that isn't really helping me.
I don't know if this is enough information, but if you need it I can post the whole local function or whatever else is required.
If it makes any difference, I'm running the 3.3.5a WoW client.
You are probably using a global that gets defined from some other addon in a now deterministic way
While the (classColor or "") will get you rid of the error, you should try and find why that variable (classColor) is sometimes defined and sometimes not. Maybe it happens only for certain classes?
A simple hack would be to just replace
..classColor..
with
..(classColor or "")..
where it will select a blank string when classColor has no value assigned to it.
I am trying to make a simple UDP packet decoder.
packet_decoder(Packet)->
<<Opts:8,MobIdLength:8,MobId:64,MobIdType:8,MgeType:8,SeqNum:16,Rest/binary>> = Packet,
io:format("Options:~p~n",Opts),
io:format("MobIdLength:~p~n",MobIdLength),
io:format("MobId:~p~n",MobId),
io:format("MobIdType:~p~n",MobIdType),
io:format("MgeType:~p~n",MgeType),
io:format("SeqNum:~p~n",SeqNum).
Packet is passed by a receive loop:
rcv_loop(Socket) ->
inet:setopts(Socket, [{active, once}, binary]),
io:format("rcvr started:~n"),
receive
{udp, Socket, Host, Port, Bin} ->
packet_decoder(Bin),
rcv_loop(Socket)
end.
I keep getting(following error edited 9/7/12 9:30 EST):
** exception error: no match of right hand side value
<<131,8,53,134,150,4,149,0,80,15,1,2,1,2,0,16,80,71,115,

115,53,24,63,227,197,...>>)
in call from udp_server:rcv_loop/1
in call from udp_server:init/0
If I create the same variable in the Erlang shell as a binary, i.e.
Packet = <<131,8,53,134,150,4,149,0,80,15,1,2,1,2,0,16,80,71,115,52,80,71,115,53,24,63,227,197,211,228,89,72,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,16,0,5,5,32,1,4,255,159,15,18,28,0,34,62,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,47,67>>.
<<Opts:8,MobIdLength:8,MobId:64,MobIdType:8,MgeType:8,SeqNum:16,Rest/binary>> = Packet.
It works just fine. Is there some subtlety in passing this to a function that I am missing? I have tried what I think is everything(except the right way). I tried setting the type and size. I also just tried
<<Rest/binary>> = Packet.
To no avail. Any help much appreciated.
The error you are getting when you run your code does not match your code. The error you are getting:
** exception error: no match of right hand side value ...
is a badmatch error and comes from an explicit = match where the pattern does not match the value from the RHS. There is no = in the code for rcv_loop/1. This implies that the loop you are running is not this code. So there are some questions to be asked:
When you have recompiled the module containing rcv_loop/1 have you restarted the loop so you run the new code? This is not done automagically.
Are you sure you are loading/running the code you think you are? I know this question sounds stupid but it is very easy, and not uncommon, to work on one version of the code and load another. You need to get the paths right.
The other things about mentioned about your code would not give this error. The calls to io:format/2 are wrong but would result in errors when you make the actual calls to io:format/2. Using the variable Socket as you do is not an error, it just means that you only want to receive UDP packets from just that socket.
EDIT : the first part of my answer was completely wrong so in order to not mislead, I deleted it.
Like spotted Alexey Kachayev io:format takes as second parameter a list, so :
packet_decoder(Packet)->
<<Opts:8,MobIdLength:8,MobId:64,MobIdType:8,MgeType:8,SeqNum:16,Rest/binary>> = Packet,
io:format("Options:~p~n",[Opts]),
io:format("MobIdLength:~p~n",[MobIdLength]),
io:format("MobId:~p~n",[MobId]),
io:format("MobIdType:~p~n",[MobIdType]),
io:format("MgeType:~p~n",[MgeType]),
io:format("SeqNum:~p~n",[SeqNum]).
I figured it out(kinda). I had been working on this in erlide in eclipse which had worked fine for all of the other parts of the. I tried compiling it from the erl shell and it worked fine. There must be some minor difference in the way eclipse is representing the source or the way it invokes the erlang compiler and shell. I will take it up with erlide.org. Thanks for the help!
Hello stackoverflow experts,
I got a very strange problem in a task I'm creating with Capistrano. I'm trying to pass a variable from the command line:
>> cap create_dir -s name_of_dir=mydir
task :create_dir do
printf("#{name_of_dir}")
if !(exists?(:name_of_dir)) then
name_of_dir = Capistrano::CLI.ui.ask("Name of dir to be created.")
end
full_path = "/home/#{name_of_dir}"
run "mkdir #{full_path}"
end
The very strange this is that correctly parses the variable when I do printf, but parses as a blank(empty) string in the following command. I really find no explanation for this and I'm sure is not a stuping typo or anything like that?
I'm not expierenced in Ruby like in Java and PHP, I'm affraid that there maybe a strange rule?
Thanks!!
A few suggestions:
Avoid using variables with the same name of internal task variables
use fetch() instead of dealing with if exits? else then...
Here's the code
>> cap create_dir -s name_of_dir=mydir
task :create_dir do
printf("#{name_of_dir}")
directory = fetch(:name_of_dir) { Capistrano::CLI.ui.ask("Name of dir to be created.") }
full_path = "/home/#{directory}"
run "mkdir #{full_path}"
end
In newer versions of capistrano, at least from 2.5.19 which I run now the whole command line argument thing works different now. You call it like this.
cap command argument=value
And the syntax in the code is
ENV.has_key?('argument') and ENV['argument']
That's basically it, but you can look at my blogpost about it for a working example
It looks like in the second line you are checking if the symbol :name_of_dir exists - not the actual value of the variable name_of_dir.
Because you're unlikely to have a filename name_of_dir it will count as not existing... and then name_of_dir (the variable) is overwritten by the Capistrano::CLI.ui.ask command.
Not sure why but that must be killing it somehow.
Try removing the ":" and seeing if that fixes the problem.
