Yes, script-tools and TUI are both my 'children', so i cant go anywhere (else) and ask for help/bugfixes as i need to write them myself.
However i do need help to understand error messages at times (or get hints what else might cause them), so here we go:
Since my new computer is using UEFI, i finaly figured the following command to be useless without some slight modifications.
Anyhow, arguments are finaly parsed properly again, and when bash told me fileXY:line##, the error was there.
But not this one, see yourself: (lines starting with '# | ' are the 'TUI' interface, and tui-str-ask was (3 months ago) renamed to tui-bol-yesno which is a file (command) and not just a function...
Code:
[sea@localhost ~]$ st tweak grub2 update
# | Script-Tools (0.9.0) 2014.01.28 18:21:54 | #
# | Update GRUB2 | #
# | Requires root access! FAIL | #
[sea@localhost ~]$ sudo st tweak grub2 update
........../usr/share/script-tools/functions/system.isQuestions: line 84: `tui-str-ask': not a valid identifier
[sea@localhost ~]$ grep tui-str-ask /usr/share/script-tools/functions/system.isQuestions
[sea@localhost ~]$
Actualy, what irritates me the most is:
1) it seems to be caused by root
2) the file /usr/share/script-tools/functions/system.isQuestions doesnt even contain the string 'tui-str-ask'.
So even when calling the program without any args it applies, depending upon root/user-level..
Code:
[sea@localhost ~]$ st

3) dev

5) iso
6) net
7) sa

9) ts
10) tweak
#? ^C
[sea@localhost ~]$ sudo st
........../usr/share/script-tools/functions/system.isQuestions: line 84: `tui-str-ask': not a valid identifier
[sea@localhost ~]$
Code:
[root@localhost script-tools]# pwd
/usr/share/script-tools
[root@localhost script-tools]# for item in $(du|awk '{print $2}');do grep "tui-str-ask" $item/*;done
Reports simply that each entry was not a file (note that i had used this code just a few minutes earlier to find other bugs - which are solved now).
rofl? :doh:
It seems 'disabling' the ask function in system.isQuestion solved it...
Just figured i try this, since script-tools' - 'ask' is replaced by tui-bol-yes, i could remove it from script-tools source code...
Weird, i would have expected a diffrent error text.. (but then again, i wouldnt know what)
