[PD] found how to reproduce Pd-ext 0.43.4 Tcl Invalid Command Name error

Fri Mar 15 06:16:45 CET 2013

Just to further confirm, pd-l2ork is not affected with Benjamin’s example
either. Hopefully this will help Hans and others hunt this thing down.

Best wishes,

Ico

That bug is not related, though I might look similar.  Any time you see
things like .x2415b0 those are the unique IDs that Pd uses for each Window
in the GUI.  ".x2415b0: no such object" basically means that Pd is trying to
send a command to a window in the GUI, but that window does not currently
exist (like it was closed) and Pd didn't get the message about that window
closing.

This patch is a nice clear example, so it should be possible to track the
bug down.  Marco, if you haven't already, can you add that patch tarball to
a bug report in the tracker?  A reference to this thread would also be
helpful.

hey thanks all for testing.

At least we know it's consistent.
Let's see if somebody has ideas about it.

Let me know how can I help!
Really wish to solve this.

thanks!

Hi

Behaviour confirmed on ubuntu 12.10 64 bits and pd-ext 0.43.4.

hey,

dunno if you remember, but I still have this error (below) and now I managed
to make a small patch that reproduces it (attached).
It seems related to the <Hide> flag for a 2nd level nested GOP patch.

it'd be great if somebody could test it on linux and mac.
I'm on Ubuntu Lucid 10.04, pd-ext 0.43.4

how to reproduce:

- launch MAIN-graph-bug.pd
- click the bang to open a subpatch (if it doesn't at startup)
- close the subpatch
- close MAIN-graph-bug.pd

at this point Pd throws the error as below. Only the GUI freezes, the patch
is  unusable and have to kill it, by closing pd.

\\\\\\\\\\\\ <smb://> 
(Tcl) INVALID COMMAND NAME: invalid command name ".x996ebd0.c"
while executing
".x996ebd0.c delete graph996f4b0i0"
 ("uplevel" body line 1)
 invoked from within
"uplevel #0 $cmds_from_pd"
\\\\\\\\\\\\ <smb://> 

How to avoid it:

- launch MAIN-graph-bug.pd
- click the bang to open a subpatch (if it doesn't at startup)
- open the subpatch
- open the further subpatch <anlz.scope~>
- flag hide object name and argument
- save
-close pd
- restart the patch and the error disappear

It is worth noting that the error I get with the Xth Sense software looks
similar but has different tags (see below). And I can't reproduce this one
error using a subpatch including a graph or iem_image (which I use in the
Xth Sense)

\\\\\\\\\\\\ <smb://> 
(Tcl) INVALID COMMAND NAME: invalid command name ".x9c4d3b0.c"
while executing
".x9c4d3b0.c create image 900 776 -image a4304c0PHOTOIMAGE -tags
a4304c0PHOTO
 ("uplevel" body line 283)
 invoked from within
"uplevel #0 $cmds_from_pd"
\\\\\\\\\\\\\ <smb://> 

should i submit a different bug report or add to the one I did already?

thanks in advance for any hint,
this is forcing me to still use pd-ext 0.42.5 during my workshop, which is a
shame :)
