Hi Graham,
You could adjust the message box to throw errors instead of
displaying them in its lower field, but it is probably easier to
create your own message box and save that as a plugin. Just make a
palette window with a field and the following script:
on enterInField
do me
end enterInField
This kind of errors (Chunk: can't find card) occurs after referring
to a property of a nonexisting card, such as
put the bla of cd x
put the name of btn x of cd y
Sorry, there are too many possibilities to give an exact cause of the
error, but I hope this helps anyway.
Mark, thanks for replying, but I remain confused. What I am saying is
that I don't see that the engine has any excuse for not telling me
the full context of an execution error, and I wonder why it does this
sometimes and not at other times. I think it is worthy of reporting
as a bug (at least a bug in the IDE), but to do this I need to
understand more about how and why these 'context-free' reports
appear. I'm a bit surprised we don't hear more about them from other
developers.
Also, I couldn't follow your idea of creating my own message box - I
am only looking at the message box because that's where this context-
free error report appears; otherwise it is not implicated at all.
What would 'do me' do, exactly? I am not trying to run scripts in the
message box, I'm just running them regularly in objects like
applications normally do.

One of the most irritating aspects of debugging in Rev (or in
Galaxy for that matter) is that there are circumstances (usually
when a rev app starts up) when you can get an error in the message
box, such as
Message execution error:
Error description: Chunk: can't find card
with no other context given, i.e. the IDE's debugging display is
not invoked. This seems absurd, since the engine can't have
interpreted the script all without knowing which line of which
script it was executing, as well as the name of the object it can't
find (in the example above): so this info could and should (IMO) be
provided to the developer.
Does anyone know
a) exactly under what conditions this type of error occurs;
b) if there is a workaround (apart from simply stepping through
every line of script) to find the context of the error.
TIA
Graham
