Re: Functions running in IDE, but not running in standalone

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Bruce,

i just tried with a sample stack where i did not include the Internet library. 
I get exact the same error in the bugreport (except the line number and stack 
name and so on).

"Executing at 12:58:33 AM on Tuesday, July 21, 2020
Type: Handler: can't find handler
Object: button "Button" of card id 1002 of stack 
"/Users/matthias/Downloads/test5/MacOSX/test.app/Contents/MacOS/test"
Line: libURLSetSSLVerification false
Line Num: 2
Hint: libURLSetSSLVerification

Comments: hm,weird"


If Internet library is really selected in under Inclusions in Standalone 
Settings, then either there is a problem with your Livecode installation or 
another guess...

Are you using  the savestackrequest message in your scripts? If so, is it 
possible by any chance that you did forgot to add "pass savestackrequest" 
before "End savestackrequest"?

I remember that a long time ago i  bothered the Support Team with a problem 
that database functions did not work in my standalone although i had enabled 
all needed inclusions.
The problem was i used  the savestackrequest message to cleanup fields and 
other things in the stack before saving, but forgot to add "pass 
savestackrequest".
The interesting part was, that the standalone was created and although all 
included externals were added to the standalone, the standalone was not able to 
communicate with the database. After adding that line, all was fine.

 Matthias and Curry,
 
 Thanks for your responses. I am using Indy for which I apparently do not 
 have access to RemoteDebugger.
 
 I did activate the “Bug Reports” feature and added “tsNet” to the included 
 stuff for the standalone. 
 
 From the bug reporter feature, it seems that “libURL" commands/functions 
 are somehow creating a problem. (And, yes, I am including the Internet 
 library in my standalone!).
 
 Here are a couple of examples of the bug reports that were generated:

 What does it mean “can’t find handler" Why not? It’s part of the

Matthias,

Yes to both Internet and SSL & Encryption libraries.

So everything should be running just fine, but are not.

Here is a real frustrating thing. The first execution error that the Bug 
Reports generates is one that is like the two above.That’s fine. But after that 
it produces what might be an infinite number of execution errors like the 
following:

My comments: There is no errorDialog command in the stack script. In fact, line 
12 of the stack script is an "end if" which is part of a preOpenStack handler 
to center the stack on the screen.

I have to force-quit the standalone to get out of this infinite loop! This 
whole thing is very weird and very frustrating!

Confirmed. It seems to depend on the web site/content. If I use http://www.google.com then the 
vertical scrollbar is hidden because the size of my widget is tall enough. If I use the URL of 
my own web site, both scrollbars appear no matter how I set their visibility, and the 
checkboxes re-enable themselves if I uncheck them.


I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature.
