#2186 Nasal runtime error: non-objects have no members
Please, somebody what. does. this. message. mean ????
Does it mean:
1) It's an object with no members so should be a non-object
2) It's a non-object with members and it should be a non-object without members
3) It's a non-object with members and it should be an object with members
4) It's a non-object without members and it should be a non-object with members
5) None of the above, it's just a statement like: " Blind ducks have no shoes"
What's the non-object in question ? Nasal knows but why won't it tell me ?
Does Nasal see members ? What are they ?
Could the error message be made to mean something and specify the names of the things that are in error, please ?
Thks
This message comes from the simgear/nasal/code.c code :) See tab above (Git) and select simgear, then simgear/nasal/code.c and there you go :)
If you want correct answer you can look at the source code and find what conditions are not met when this message appears. It is not a bug in FG so if you want more and get a precise answer it is better to ask on the forum (http://forum.flightgear.org) or mailing list (see above tab with name "Mailing List" and apply for flighgear-devel list). Nonetheless it would be best when you post messages there to give more context (example code, environment, what you are doing) that is causing this message for you. I think it is a best solution.
Marking this as closed : unfortunately this is a programming problem. The message isn't great but it comes form deep inside the Nasal interepter, and at the point we generate it, we don't know the name of the object.
What it's literally saying is 'you tried to use .foo' on a thing that isn't an object: eg if you did:
var f = 42;
print (f.foo); # you would get this error at this point
But inside the engine, we have no way to know that the object is called 'f'. We might be able to print 'foo' at that time, not sure.
Actually we can report the name of the field: the get version already does this.
I guess you meant GIt version; it doesn't though.
Many thanks. "No such member" says it all for me !
