Log Message:
Fix js.exec() error message when specified script can't be found

If the search up the scope tree for js.exec_dir fails, the script 'path' would be left blank leading to a weird error message.
e.g. !JavaScript default.js line 249: Error: Script file () does not exist

Fix js.exec() error message when specified script can't be found

If the search up the scope tree for js.exec_dir fails, the script 'path' would be left blank leading to a weird error message.
e.g. !JavaScript default.js line 249: Error: Script file () does not exist

I just did an update and rebuilt my Synchronet binaries (and updated my default.js as well). That seems to fix the issue we were seeing with DDMsgReader and default.js. But now I'm seeing the same error in a different situation.

In my command shell (custom JS), I have this command to run my file area chooser:

bbs.exec("?../xtrn/DigDist/AreaChoosers/DDFileAreaChooser.js");

That works. However, I also have a JS script in my sbbs/mods directory that I use as a test sandbox to try out new things, which I usually run from my main menu. I tried using the same line above in my test script to run my DDFileAreaChooser.js, but when I run that, I get the error:

!JavaScript DigitalDistortionTest.js line 8: Error: Script file () does not exist

It seems this might be a recent issue, as I've done similar things in my sandbox test script, and I don't remember seeing this before.

That error message looks to be from js.exec(), not bbs.exec(). The error message itself (the empty parens) was fixed in git today. It doesn't appear you have that fix.

It seems this might be a recent issue, as I've done similar things in my sandbox test script, and I don't remember seeing this before.

No recent changes to either js.exec() or bbs.exec() that I'm aware of (other than the error message fix I just mentioned).

It was something silly on my part.. I had a line above it using js.exec(), and I thought I had removed that but it was still in there.

Also, I had to check out a fresh copy of the repo in order to rebuild successfully. In the copy of the repo I had, it was getting a build error ('no rule to make target' for something, but I don't remember what it was now). But it's building now, and all is good.
