[Critical Bug] Plugin failed to parse config

[M60TM]

Plugin failed to parse "classes" and "spawner" in configs. This bug has existed since the updated YADB version. I don't know why this bug is happen(code seems to not wrong..). Sometimes plugin success to parse configs. But failure is occurred a lot even if I never touched plugin's code and configs.

I just recompiled this plugin on SM 1.12. And this bug also happened in SM 1.11..

Hello, are you using subplugin "EventFix" by any chance?

[Silorak]

and are on updated version of the plugin?

[Silorak]

"Plugin failed to parse "classes" and "spawner" in configs", most likely appears due of "Speedometer" as it can't work without EventFix.

[M60TM]

Sadly, I ran tfdb with eventfix. and all of plugin are latest version.

[Silorak]

And config for sure was not edited? Like, everything was uploaded and when you started the server that bug appeared?

[M60TM]

Yes. I didn't touched anything. And is there any problem if I load it from disabled or optional folder?

[Silorak]

Plugins should be outside disabled, cuz that folder will disable the plugin.

[Silorak]

Then again, I have not experimented with plugin going to plugins/folders as I didn't find a good reason to do so and kept it how sourcemod has.

[M60TM]

I only load dodgeball plugin on tfdb_ map. And unload it on nextmap(Because I ran multiple modes in one server). I think it can be make this problem. I should test without speedometer.

[Silorak]

Ahh, I see a multi server. I'll ask x07 when he's up about how to approach that. The way I would would probably use map configs to enable/disable this cvar "tf_dodgeball_enabled" as that will make the plugin use the cfg/sourcemod/dodgeball_enabled or dodgeball_disabled.

[M60TM]

I tried to run tfdb without eventfix and speedmeter. Considering that there was no problem, it seems to be an extension of Issue #7.

[x07x08]

Sorry for the late reply, I was quite busy and I could check the repository only yesterday.

I've just tested loading & unloading from the disabled folder (disabled/tfdb) as follows :

1. Made two configs; one for enabling / loading dodgeball (loadtfdb.cfg) and another for disabling / unloading (unloadtfdb.cfg)
2. Always unloaded on server startup using server.cfg (exec unloadtfdb)
3. Load on tfdb_ maps (exec loadtfdb) (tested with just tfdb_spacebox,_v2, but it probably doesn't matter which map is used)

Sadly, I couldn't replicate the error at all after constantly changing maps. I also don't know if the order in which plugins are loaded matters. I loaded EventFix first, the main one second and everything else afterwards (including Speedometer). Could you provide the full logs (both normal and error, you can cut out everything that doesn't matter)? I want to know if the config even gets executed in the first place. It'd be even more helpful if you could output the details of the parsing process (using Log or Print functions). Sorry if I'm asking you to pretty much debug it yourself, but this is the only way since I can't get the error to trigger.

They were happen same day. You may judge that the file does not exist. But after this error log, I moved SetFailState check to ParseConfigurations for test(to debug). And I got this.

Given that the plugin made the same error in that state, it seems true that it enters the ParseConfigurations function.

[x07x08]

Odd. Then it must silently fail in one of the do loops (first one or inside ParseClasses). Also the return values of the Keyvalues methods aren't checked, those might give a clue I guess?

[M60TM]

Ok..I'll check later. But I just got same error.

I ran tfdb without EventFix and Speedmeter. But it is still continued..

Any updates on this?
