Wesnoth Units Database: MISSILE_FRAME bug

Post by Generous »

Today I've re-checked the status of my era in Wesnoth Units Database, and saw a following report:

http://units.wesnoth.org/1.12/Default_C ... error.html

Unit tree failed to generate because of

Code: Select all

error config: preprocessor symbol 'MISSILE_FRAME_MUZZLE_FLARE_MISS' expects 2 arguments, but has 0 arguments at ~add-ons/Trader/units/mechanic/Pirateship.cfg:59
However there is the same problem with many other era's - even very simple ones. Just check this page:

http://units.wesnoth.org/1.12/overview.html, Ctrl+F -> search for "wml error (31 lines)" - over 100 matches...

Possible origin of problem:

Log tells us that its Wesnoth 1.10.7 version which tries to build unit trees for 1.12.1!
And, if I'm not mistaken, Wesnoth 1.10.7 and 1.12.1 have "boats"-type units stored at different locations

Oh, good catch. The build system indeed was compiling from 1.10 sources instead of 1.12 sources. I fixed it so whenever the units.wesnoth.org page gets regenerated next this will be fixed. Normally it's scheduled for every Friday night (so tonight) - but for some reason my script doesn't always succeed. (I think it is because the Wesnoth server is too weak and/or unstable to run it - there's no such problems on my own server.)

Is there way to get more info about timeout errors there? Is that limit against large addons?

The limit is against addons who enter an infinite WML loop. It's set to 10 seconds right now I think, so if the WML parsing isn't done after that time it assumes the WML is broken.

Well, just trying it locally. If it works locally then it just takes too long on the server for some reason. If it also takes forever locally, then can try and debug.

If that is wmlunits in \data\tools then it returns

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "wmlunits", line 14, in <module>
    import subprocess, yaml
ImportError: No module named yaml

Guess you need to install a python yaml module to your system:

Code: Select all

sudo pip install pyyaml

Some era could have a lot of units (e.g. Ageless), and - despite it could be OK - it cant be processed in time :o
What if try to build a unit tree for such eras with a larger time limit?

I just increased the timeout to 60 seconds. I seem to remember this causing more serious problems though, but we will see - just issued a manual website regeneration.

The original issue with the outdated wesnoth binary seems fixed, I'm investigating the "wml error" every single addon is getting now, but it seems to be harmless and output is still produced.

There is still problem that 1.10 addons show up when they are not in 1.12 server. Like http://units.wesnoth.org/1.12/Colosseum_fast/error.html that I will not port for 1.12.

Yes I could see a following "error" in my era and many others (Ctrl+F --> search for "wml error (5 lines)" on page http://units.wesnoth.org/1.12/overview.html )
But in fact there is no error :hmm: It just didn't produce a unit tree

Managed to get yaml, but not use wmlunits. Ran it with

Code: Select all

"C:\Python27/python.exe" wmlunits -A -v -a "C:\Users\Lenovo\Desktop\wesnoth related\stable1.12.0\userdata\data\add-ons" -o "C:\Users\Lenovo\Desktop\wesnoth related\stable1.12.0\userdata\data\pyout" -D "C:\Users\Lenovo\Desktop\wesnoth related\stable1.12.0\data" -w "C:\Users\Lenovo\Desktop\wesnoth related\stable1.12.0\wesnoth12_0.exe" -C "C:\Users\Lenovo\Desktop\wesnoth related\stable1.12.0\userdata" > pytout.txt
pause
and output was

I dont particularly need to run it myself, my intention is to have your one work on ageless era.

:hmm:

Why does it time out when it reads an era like Ageless Era? I mean the main game does not take 10 seconds to load ageless era. Is it just that parsing WML in python is slow? Or is there something going wrong.
