Script directory is renamed to 'TempScriptDirectory' when saving XML

[Dan Korneff]

I've been experiencing this as well. Scripts don't update when I hit compile... and then the main script gets moved to a temp folder. I haven't had time to investigate yet

Getting this a lot. Sometimes files even disappear outright. I've just lost an Interface.js altogether for example.

Could it have anything to do with there being hypens in the folder directory structure?

@Orvillain I think Christoph fixed this today, have you built the latest commits?

[Orvillain]

@d-healey ooooo, no I haven't! I will do so!

[Christoph Hart]

@Orvillain Not sure if it fixes this issue, but I fixed the reload bug when using an external editor.

@Christoph-Hart

I'll check it out. The only oddity I can think of is, my repository has hypens in the name:
drew-hise-experiments

And some of my projects also have hypens in the name:
pad-sampler-test

etc etc.

Don't know if there is maybe a parsing issue going on when you do a save operation?

@Christoph-Hart

Unfortunately, this is still an issue. I rebuilt the latest HISE on the 17th at least, and this still happens. Nothing to do with hypens being in the name of folders or anything either.

@Orvillain are you working on a network drive?

[Orvillain]

@Dan-Korneff
I'm not no, but all my dev stuff is on my H: drive which is an internal SATA drive.

Still getting this even with a commit from the 28th of May.

This has reappeared for me again. If I have a project and I add a sampler to it and load a sample map, when I go to save the xml I get this error and I can't save a .hip at all. It just says in the console that it's saved to the project's Presets folder, but nothing is in there.

This doesn't happen with a new project, but once the project is closed and reopened it happens.

Edit: Ahhhh if I remove the setAllowDuplicateSamples line then I don't get this either... everything's connected :( https://forum.hise.audio/topic/10719/allowduplicatesamples-causing-crash

@Christoph-Hart This is still happening and it's super annoying because there's no way to save your work. You have to copy your script to a text file and close/reopen HISE then paste in your script and hope that you copied everything you needed.

I took a brief look at the source where this is happening - you love your nests :) - I see a couple of calls to deleteRecursively(); which spook me, why are things beings deleted when I try to save a file??? Ok, after stepping through the code I see what's happening here.

There are no external scripts in the test project I'm working on, just the interface script, nothing fancy.

Something I've noticed while trying to debug:

• When the issue occurs the script file (Interface.js in this case) is not created in the Temporary directory.

I spent a few hours on this last night but couldn't solve it, I can't figure out why the temp file isn't being created. But I did unravel your nest to make it easier to follow the flow - https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/pull/651
