Weird bug

[skajfes]

Today FSubScript is just not working anymore. As a matter of fact - FARR is not working because of it. A quick view at the logs showed that fusbscript is the root of all problems, so I deleted it and everything was working normally. What is weird about that is that it was working yesterday, and the day before, etc. And I haven't made any changes to the system (no new apps, drivers etc, no new plugins, not even my development versions - nothing) - it just refused to start.

Any ideas?

a preliminary question:
what in the logs told you that it was fsubscript to blame?

Well, the last line in the FarrTroubleshooting.log was

[Select]

*Loading plugin: FSubScript\FScript.dll

and it was not followed by Success or Failed message like the rest of the plugins

and when you restarted farr after that, did it tell you it was temporarily disabling the plugin? if not then i have to fix that --
part of the reason i implemented that logging system was to have farr autodetect and autodisable crashed plugins.

[skajfes]

Yes it did. I've tried it again just to be sure

[mouser]

ok great 
my hope was that at least this auto-reporting/disabling of crashed plugins would make it less risky for people to install plugins, since at least this way farr can help them diagnose when one goes rogue

Just to be more accurate - that is FScript plugin, not FSubScript. I've tried with Console plugin that also uses FScript and the same thing happened.
