Re: Error report emails
To: "How to use Revolution" Do you mean quit, as in the app shuts down? Does Windows throw an error? App shuts down (closes completely). I would expect a Windows "Access Violation" here but do not get one, which leads me to suspect that it's because Rev is relatively free from the cacophony of dll's that other compilers depend on by default within the code they write to the executable.

It looks a little like the error reporting script can't identify the
object that failed.
I have now tested a stack with an error built using with 2.6.1, 2.7.0,
2.8.0 & 2.8.1 and none of them have any trouble with the error
reporting email. They all show the exact error.
So either this is Windows only (I'm using Mac and my app only runs on
Mac & Windows) or it depends on the error.
I'd suspect the error. I've been using the email-myself error reporting
feature ever since you clued us onto it, it's been invaluable. I haven't
ever seen any problems, so it's working okay here.

Make it do logging, so if we don't want to send ourselves an email we
can just read a log somewhere. Even better, allow a global property that
turns logging on and off. Then I could write a startup handler that
checks for a keypress or something ("if the shiftkey is down then...")
that would set the global logging variable to true. Ergo, startup with
shiftkey down makes a log.
Some of us have written this stuff, but I'd love to see it just built in.
With 2.6.1 it exits the stand alone after showing the error. It'd be
nice
if it did not do this, though this may well have been fixed in later
versions of Rev. Probably something I should check with the latest beta.
I don't get this either. The standalone still runs fine after
displaying the error dialog, whether you email the report or not.
Again, maybe this is platform-specific. What are you using Scott?
Maybe Scott doesn't mean "quit" but means the script exits? That would
be normal. Handlers abort if there's a scripting error. If it really
does abnormally quit, that might be a crash and should be reported.

I'll have to do some tests to see if this still happens on 2.8.1 then update the app. > > Related to this, it would be really good if there was a way to add some > more data to these reports e.g. the version number of the > software, the platform, the engine number etc. If I bugzilla the erroneous > error report, I might add an enhancement request for this. > Does anyone have any other suggestions that they would like added at > the same time? With 2.6.1 it exits the stand alone after showing the error. It'd be nice if it did not do this, though this may well have been fixed in later versions of Rev. Probably something I should check with the latest beta. I agree. In Rev errors are very rarely fatal, so the app should not need to quit. Once I've checked whether this bug still happens in 2.8.1, I'll add an enhancement request and include this.
