Uninitialized FX chain

[d.healey]

I'm getting this message in the latest version of HISE when opening a project that contains effects:

FX:! Trying to add a processor to a uninitialized effect chain (internal engine error).�

[d.healey]

Interestingly, after restarting my system and loading the project again this message has vanished. However I have a new one :)

So I have this line in a paint routine function:

g.fillTriangle([this.get("width")-18, this.get("height")/2-2, 10, 5], Math.toRadians(900));

and HISE is complaining

paintRoutines.js (88): '-' is not allowed on the String type 

[Christoph Hart]

Ah yes sometimes when you load a project from XML it looses the value type so a 50 becomes a “50“ and “50“ - 18 is sometimes quirky - that‘s the weirder corners of a type agnostic scripting language.

This can be easily solved by wrapping the get calls into a parseInt call. But I‘ll take a look at the internals maybe I can do something in the importer code that prevents this.

[d.healey]

@christoph-hart Yes parseInt was the solution I came to as well

[d.healey]

I just opened the project again and the uninitialized FX message has returned... both with the XML and the .HIP

[Christoph Hart]

This happens if you create a module before the processing is initialised but actually is not too critical (it‘s rather a warning than an error)

[d.healey]

This string thing is more of an issue, it also causes the min and max values of sliders (and I would think other controls) to be strings which messes with some of my other functions that are expecting numbers.

[Christoph Hart]

Can you make an example that consistently reproduces the issue? It only causes troubles under certain conditions that I haven‘t figured out yet.

@christoph-hart

If the issue doesn't appear straight after pasting the snippet and hitting compile then it needs to be saved as XML first and reopened.

I think I solved the FX chain issue, it seemed to only be occurring when Jack hadn't been started, I was having some teething problems with a new audio interface.

[Christoph Hart]

Ah I think I know how to solve this. Will do it tomorrow.

[Christoph Hart]

This is fixed now.
