00237: see which tcl scripts were sourced

Summary: see which tcl scripts were sourced

Created: 2010–04–15 16:19

Status: Released

Category: Request

From: frankie

Version: 2.0

Released_In: 2.2

Description:

this is a request for a feature similar to the Help→About→Plugins dialog, which shows which plugins were sourced, and which ones had errors at initialization. Knowing which tcl scripts were attempted to load, found, and had errors would be a useful tool when troubleshooting modifications to config files and tcl scripts.

There are 4 main statuses we are interested in knowing for tcl script debugging:

1. The script was never requested by a config file (in which case it wouldn't be in the list and would represent a config file problem)
2. The script was specified in a config file but not found, or not able to be opened for whatever reason
3. The script was specified, found, and able to be opened but gave an error when sourcing
4. The script was specified, found, sourced, and had no errors

For interfacing through your own tcl scripts, you can see the entire list of scripts via the global variable "$dougscripts" and see the messages for an individual scripts with the command "doug.script_message_log <script_alias>" where <script_alias> is the alias specified in the config file. This will also match the name in the first column of "$dougscripts".
