Re: text to speech android
At least on Mac you know what voice you get. I wonder how other devs handle this on Android when selecting a voice, because you never know exactly what you choose.

Hi Scott The identifiers and names all come from the macOS NSSpeechSynthesizer API and yes Victoria does appear to be the only voice with an uppercase character in the identifier `com.apple.speech.synthesis.voice.Victoria`, Cheers Monte > On 20 Jul 2020, at 12:57 pm, scott--- via use-livecode > wrote: > > Ack! with the exception of “Victoria” which seems to require an Uppercase > first letter.

You are using a logical method so far to narrow down the problem. That's good. But now you just have to keep going, and FOLLOW THROUGH. Don't stop half way. Keep narrowing it down and start profiling your bug. If Livecode encounters a runtime error that is not handled, it will stop executing the script. When it does that, LC sends a message with the error dialog information. In the IDE, you usually (but not always) see a helpful dialog or script debug when hitting an error. But in a standalone, you have several options too - you can choose to include error reporting, you can handle the message yourself, or you can use the Remote Debugger as mentioned, which often (but again, not always) helps. Using answer (or a log file) is another valid option (especially for the "not always" cases where LC debugging falls short!) but use it correctly. Make sure you've really narrowed it down to the offending line; don't make too many assumptions about which is the offending line of code without proving it. The error reporting might give you the line number and error cause. Or you can add another answer to verify your best candidate. Standalone versus IDE problems often boil down to a few areas: file locations, standalone settings and inclusions, folder permissions, app permissions, and so on. Sometimes it's the user's fault, other times an LC bug/feature/glitch. > using Livecode 7.1.4, all of the “answer” alerts came back > and the Abstract Report worked fine! Given that you're downloading things, I would check inclusions and tsNet, plus your file/folder locations. Always try to keep the IDE and standalone code/experience as close to each other as possible, to minimize headaches!

Functions running in IDE, but not running in standalone
I am having a very frustrating experience. I have an app called Patent Grabber that is for downloading and searching for patents and published patent applications. A user reported that one feature of Patent Grabber was not working. That was the Abstract Report which takes a list of US patent numbers and downloads basic information about each, and combines all of this information into a single HTML file. When I tried the Abstract Report in the stack from which Patent Grabber was compiled, the Abstract Report ran fine. However, when I saved the stack as a standalone the Abstract Report did not run. The standalone was NOT frozen. I could immediately run other features without problem. Since the Abstract Report uses several stack-level functions, I tried adding some “answer” alerts to try to find the bottleneck. All of the “answer” alerts came back under the IDE, and the Abstract Report ran as expected. However, in the standalone, the first couple “answer” alerts came back, but then NOTHING. It was the “answer” alert that I added at the start of a function called getBiblio() that did not come back, and the Abstract Report stopped running. Now the getBiblio() function is fairly complex. So I replaced it with a three-line function whose first line was an “answer” alert to tell me that the function was running. Under the IDE the “answer” alert came back, but in the standalone, nothing! Oh, and one more thing. This was all under Livecode 9.0.1 and also 9.6.0. I also tried compiling the standalone under LC 8.1.9 with the same result. However, when I saved the stack in Livecode 7.0 format, and compiled the standalone using Livecode 7.1.4, all of the “answer” alerts came back and the Abstract Report worked fine! Any thoughts about this would be greatly appreciated!
