Error message(string expected, got nil)

#1 Post by Palkki »

I am getting this error when trying to start bot.lua.

".../rom/settings.lua:310: bad argument #1 to ´?´ (string expected, got nil)"

I am no expert with scripts or programming but I expect that 310 means line 310 in settings.lua file.

This is what I have on line 310

309 if( key[v:getAttribute("key")] == nil ) then
310 local err = sprintf(language[122], -- does not have a valid hotkey!
311 v:getAttribute("description"));
312 error(err, 0);


Any help would be appreciated.

What this means is, while loading the 'hotkeys' section of your profile, the bot encountered an invalid value for the 'key' variable.

Check your 'hotkeys' section of your profile.

Actually, that part specifically refers to settings.xml, not your profile. Same idea, though. It should probably be trying to read from your bindings.txt (if available), so I'm not even sure why you were messing with settings.xml.

Well I kinda understood that it was key related, but I didn't get what was wrong with it. Because I thought the script was supposed to use the bindings.txt. And I have checked settings.lua multiple times and it appears that the keys are just fine. I am starting to lose my mind with this issue.

The problem is settings.xml, not settings.lua. It would help if you provided a copy of your log.txt, bindings.txt, and settings.xml.

In settings.lua, on line 311, you'll see this:

Code: Select all

                  v:getAttribute("description"));
Change to:

Code: Select all

				  v:getAttribute("description") or v:getAttribute("name") or "<invalid>");
Save and run it again. What does it say?

Hey. I noticed it says Keyboard layout: US English. I dont have Us English keyboard. This is Swedish/Finnish keyboard. Any idea if that has any effect?

That doesn't mater. Pay attention to what the console says. It will give a specific error message before exiting script execution. What does it say?
