ARUGUMENTS error

Drake96
Drake96 over 3 years ago

Hello,

I facing an issue

path_enter=hiCreateStringField(
?name 'path_enter
?defValue "Hello 321"
)

info=hiCreateHypertextField(
?name 'info
?callback "Info"
?value "<body style='background-color:#F0F0F0;font-family:Roboto Mono;font-size:11px'><a href='skill:view(Doc)'>Notes</a><br></body>"
?shadowed nil
?hasVerticalScrollbar nil
?hasHorizontalScrollbar nil
)

procedure(Info(fieldSymbol hyperlinkName hyperlinkRef)

path = form->path_enter->value
printf("%s" path)

)

when am running code (ofcourse not above code...it is some part of code)

am getting issue as *Error* fprintf/sprintf: format spec. incompatible with data - "Format is '%s', argument #1 is nil"
why its taking arugment  as nil as form->path_enter->value as defined value??

    This is because form->path_enter->value returns nil (I don't know why this is - where is the variable "form" coming from in the first place?) and %s expects string. Assuming that path_enter is a global variable that is visible from within Info() you might just...

    path = path_enter->value
    printf("%s" path)

    that should solve the problem.
