Script errors
@Petr Matas: I'm trying to understand your recent changes to Module:Page which look great in principle but which have a glitch that is generating script errors in articles (current list).
In callAssert, what is this?
local result = { func(...) }
I would have expected use of pcall. The following join should be string.concattable.concat and that is the immediate problem. If I get some time later I will try following instinct and replace the above with pcall. Johnuniq (talk) 00:06, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- On a closer look, I see that pcall was not wanted. The code is not catching an error in the call, it's detecting whether the call returned nil. Even closer inspection showed that throwing
error()is not wanted either. I have never seen this module or its templates (apparently {{Correct title}} and {{Pageid to title}}) before so my quick work needs checking. However, {{Correct title}} uses #iferror to test certain things and the error span class returned in the text is caught by #iferror. Throwing an error puts the article in Category:Pages with script errors which is very undesirable. At any rate I fixed the immediate problem and the number of articles in the error category is down from 88 to 14. I'll investigate those 14 in due course. Johnuniq (talk) 02:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)- The line
local result = { func(...) }stores the (possibly multiple) values returned from the function in a table. Its counterpart isreturn unpack(result), which returns the contents of the table as multiple values. - To avoid throwing an error from the module, I have encapsulated the entire main in pcall. This way we can keep using error(), I hope. Thus, pcall at other places becomes unnecessary. Petr Matas 09:47, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
