| Summary | 0007028: stale lua scripts saved in session | ||||
| Description | git 77bd398153240390362fea83533627e6d767ddb3 Lua scripts added/removed with the script manager do not pick up changes, even when removed and re-added. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Pull up Script Manager. Add/Set -> Add Scopes (pick a script) Add Call - observe output Modify script. Remove script from script manager. Re-add script in script manager. Call script. (did not reflect changes) Open script inside Ardour's Scripting window, observe changes do not reflect current filesystem state of modified script | ||||

I cannot reproduce. addscopes.lua should be read-only. I guess there's a copy in Ardour's search path: two scripts with the same {name = ""} in the script header but different file-names. Try changing the "name" = "xxx" in the script. Edit > Scripting > Script Manager > Refresh -- and see if a script with the old name still exists. Can you elaborate a bit? How do you "modify script"? Do you use an external editor or save (a copy) with Window > Scripting? Where do save it to? Do you run Ardour from the source-dir or a installed version? Is there perhaps have a system-wide script-dir which trumps local modified files? Possible script dirs (depending on how you run ardour, or where you've got it from): <src-dir>/scripts $HOME/.config/ardour5/scripts/ /opt/Ardour-<version/scripts /usr/[local]/share/ardour5/scripts |

I was running them out of src-dir/scripts. Installing them elsewhere resulted in duplicates being shown, as it still finds src-dir/scripts. I edited with an external editor and changed the name string. Also added print statements. |
|
|
Do you get the Same result after changing the name? ie the name changes, but you still get the old script? if so, that'd be really odd. |
|
|
Yes to name string changed. In my case the file as it executes from ardour no longer exists on disk outside of the Ardour session. |
|
|
This appears to be restricted to scripts in the src-dir/scripts directory. If I copy to ~/.config/ardour5/scripts - they update on refresh. |
