Weird behaviour with nested tables and log

[mjaanes]

I am going crazy....

Working on a scheduled script and running it manually to check it.

The code below neither print AAAAAAAAAA nor BBBBBBBBBBBB.
However, if I comment out line 19 (log('DDDDDDDDDDD')), everything is printed out fine.

What am I missing?


Thanks in advance for any good input

CODE:
----------

log('AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA')

tPresenceCheck = {
  {'Area1', 10 , '0/200/0' , {'21/4/19','24/4/19'}},
  {'Area2', 15 , '5/200/0' , {'21/4/19','24/4/19','25/4/9'}}
}

log('BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB')

log(tPresenceCheck)
log(#tPresenceCheck)

for i=1,#tPresenceCheck do
  log('CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC')
  tCurr = tPresenceCheck[i]
  log(tCurr)
  sArea = tCurr[1]
  log(sArea)
  log('DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD')

end

Hi,

Not sure if it’s always needed but you are missing the step size of the for loop.

for start, stop, step do, in your case for i=1,#tPresenceCheck, 1 do

Step is optional, but it's better to use ipairs for loop. Do you have anything in error logs?

Thx for the quick reply.

LUA should default the step size to 1 if missing.
Tried anyway to add ,1 but in vain.

It is really odd. I can actually comment out any one of the four "log" statements inside the for-loop and things will work fine.
Once all log statements are there, I do not get any AAAAAAAAA or BBBBBB.

Is it something basic I am missing?

Thx

Try removing all spaces/tabs before statements in for loop.

Here is another (simpler) example that is not working. 
The code below does not print the "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" (the first line statement). 
If I comment out the log statement in the inner for-loop, everything works fine.

CODE:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
log('AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA')

local pid = os.getpid()
spid = ' (pid=' .. pid .. ')'
log('STARTING SCRIPT ' .. _SCRIPTNAME .. spid)
 
log('BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB')

for i=1,2,1 do
log( 'CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC')
  for j=1,3,1 do
    log('DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD')
  end
end



OUTPUT:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Check in LM log tab, it is there.

Check in LM log tab, it is there.

Wow!
Thanks so much. 
I was only looking at the log window which you can pop-up from the code editor. 
In this log-window, apparently not all logs are captured. Weird!, but good to know.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
