EditorMacroScript did not complete its test, during startup?

[jamie]

I am getting this on startup now lately. its a PAS file

But it only does it once when I first start the IDE in both 32 or 64 bit targets.

This can be a false positive, if you started the IDE twice within a very short time.

When the IDE starts, it writes a "state file": I am testing.
On Success it removes it.
If the test crashes the IDE, the file remains, and is seen on the next start.

But if a 2nd IDE start within split seconds of the first, then it sees the file and goes => crashed => when actually the other IDE is still testing.


But, after that happened editor macros should have turned off, and should not test again.
They can be re-enabled in the: Tools > Options > Editor macros

Otherwise check in your "primary config path" (menu: view > ide internals > about ide).
There should be one or two files with a name relating to this.
They may contain some info.

I can tell you lately that lazarus has been coming up on the deck much faster than normal.

But this happens in the last 3 days, I am sure I am not starting multiple instances.

It happens in both installs, 32 and 64. and after that error, It will start, and I can shut the IDE down and restart with no issues.

  I will keep an eye on it. I am not having any issues with my editor macros that I can see.

It would only affect them if they contain PascalScript.

If PascalScript turns off, they fall back to the default SynEdit macro player (which just has the ec.... commands / looks like pascal, but can't have anything but one begin, one end, and the ec....; )

I went in there and there was a statement about a failed attempt, so I allowed it to retry.

 I will test tomorrow when I boot up to see if this reoccurs.

Thank.

[jamie]

That fixed it.
Thanks
