Re: save stack as filename failing most of the time

[Paul Hibbert via use-livecode]

I tried, but it works fine for me every time in LC8.1.2 (Build 14013) (I no 
longer have RC3 installed), on MacOS Sierra 10.12.2.

This is the test script I used:

on mouseUp

put"/Users/paulhibbert/Documents/001 Test 
Folder/paultest.xx.to.Compile.livecode" into tFileName

replace "xx" with char -4 to -1 of the seconds in tFileName

save stack "paultest" as tFileName

if the result is empty then

answer "Success!"

else

answer "Save Failed!" && the result

end if

end mouseUp


Initially I tried with the same file name, just overwriting each time, that 
never failed, so I added the last four digits of the seconds to make a more 
unique name, but that never failed either. I also tried this from within the 
test stack, and then with a separate stack to issue the save command, they both 
worked fine too.

If there’s anything else you can think that is worth trying, just ask.

livecode has been unable to reproduce the bug.  Could someone who was able

*Comment # 1  on bug

Merakos *

Hi Richard,

Thank you for the report. I have tried to reproduce this bug with no success. I
have created a stack called "panos.livecode" with a button with the following
script:

on mouseUp
  save this stack as "/Users/panos/Desktop/panos.to_compile.livecode"
end mouseUp

Clicking the button creates a new "panos.to_compile.livecode" stack on Desktop
folder.

Can you please attach a sample stack that demonstrates the problem for you?

Best regards,
Panos

Re: save stack as filename failing most of the time

[Rick Harrison via use-livecode]

Hi again,

Ok, so first looked at the settings for the defaultFolder,
and then I set the defaultFolder to where I wanted
everything to be saved.  I chose to use my desktop
to be super easy.  

It turned out that the defaultFolder somehow strangely
got set to a RunRev Application Support folder within
the Library folder, and yes it was a hidden folder, so
that did explain why the search of my hard drive didn’t
reveal the location of the newly created stack.

So upon choosing and setting the default folder to
be the desktop, the stack then saved as promised
to my desktop to my great relief.

Thank you folks for your help and patience on this!
No need for a bug report.

Re: save stack as filename failing most of the time

[Mike Bonner via use-livecode]

Since there is no error, and it shows "TestSaveStack" my guess is it IS
saving the file correctly, but a folder along the way to where the file is
saved is hidden (hence being unsearchable.)  If you set the folder to a
known location (prior to the save) and then save it, it will probably be
right where you expect.
Or if you specify a full path, that will probably work too.

Am I the only one who saves the current filename of the stack (assuming it
has one)  sets the filename, tell it to save itself, and reset the filename
back to the original?  Actually nevermind, I see Klaus did it both ways.

Do you get the same result if you make a stack in a known location, perhaps
InitialTestStack, and then use the button.

What I see is the stack saving under it's original name.

Also, yesterday the first time I hit this line of code, it worked properly,
and failed every time after that.

just made a test with LC 8.1.2 and 9.0 dp4 and both of these scripts result in 
a livecode stack on my desktop!

1. 
...
put specialfolderpath("desktop") & "/teststack.livecode" into tFileName
save this stack as tFilename
...

2.
...
set the filename of this stack to (specialfolderpath("desktop") & 
"/teststack.livecode")
save this stack
...

macOS 10.12.2

Re: save stack as filename failing most of the time

[Rick Harrison via use-livecode]

Hi Mike,

Using your code in the button shows in the message box
TestSaveStack

Which is the name of the file.

Searching my entire hard drive doesn’t show 
any file named “TestSaveStack”.

There is no error reported for "the result”.

Re: save stack as filename failing most of the time

[Mike Bonner via use-livecode]

If you change it to
on mouseup
save this stack as "TestSaveStack"
put it && the result
put cr & the files after msg
end mouseup
does it return an error?
If not, does it show the file?

If the default folder is set to an unwritable folder you should receive an
error. If not, you should see the saved stack in the files.
the defaultfolder on startup (windows) seems to be
C:/Users/myUserName/AppData/Local/RunRev/Documentation
Cache/9_0_0_dp_1_community/IDE

Not exactly where one would look for it. Also, the "recent files" of the
file menu doesn't reflect the save.

Hi again,

1. Create a new stack

2. Put a button on it.

3. Edit the button to insert the following code:

on mouseUp

save this stack as  “TestSaveStack"

end mouseUp


4. Test the button

It just doesn’t work at all.  No stack gets saved!

I’m using LC Indy version 8.1.2

Re: save stack as filename failing most of the time

[Dr. Hawkins]

Now I'm seeing "put" fail to put things in the message box, which I suspect
is related.

And the application browser insists that there is a substack to one of my
stacks that shouldn't be there.  It strives saving and duplication, but
when I open that stack by itself, it shows no sub stack.  "the sub stacks
of" also reveals no substack.

That's what's happening here--but it shouldn't be.  On a save-as, there is
no reason to move the old file; it should be proceeding directly to writing
the new filename.

Not sure this helps you but I use Save this stack all the time and I can see 
the stack in the finder append a tilde (~), create a new stack file then the 
file with the tilde goes away. My changes are always there afterwards.

This one was so bizarre that I need to make sure I wasn't crazy.

Now *Bug 19042*  - "save
as" reserves stack with same filename

"save as" would be my goto  for a workaround, but that obviously won't do
it . . .

maybe send a sequence to the shell to move the old stack to a new name,
then save, then another shell to rename the new stack, and another to move
the original back?
