Hi there
Using CE 9.6.3
Im seeing this error message:
- Skærmbillede 2022-01-12 kl. 16.31.03.png (55.31 KiB) Viewed 9662 times
I do understand recursion problems, but the handler mentioned is not mine (it starts with rev)
The stack is an old stack that worked fine in macOS High Sierra.
I have recently changed to macOS Catalina.
What do you make of it?
Thanks
Michael

All I can think of is that there is something somewhere going round in ever-decreasing circles,
amd most likely it is a script.
Been there, done that . . .

Thank you Richmond!
...and thank you for quoting the listinfo thread.
There was a lot of good information in there.

Here's the docs for that IDE handler that's in that answer alert screenshot with the recursion problem:
If you could post the stack that's doing that then we could take a look. I'm guessing there's an "Plugin" involved or something similar like a script extension involved that tries to integrate with the IDE via it's "revIDE" API.
revIDEStackNameIsIDEStack
Type: function
Syntax: revIDEStackNameIsIDEStack(pStackName)
Associations: IDE library
Summary: Determines whether a stack is considered part of the IDE
Parameters:
pStackName : The short name of the stack
Returns Boolean (not listed in the inline-docs, someone should fix that)
Description
Use the revIDEStackNameIsIDEStack function to determine whether a stack is considered part of the IDE, according to the name of the stack.
A stack is considered part of the IDE if any of the following are satisfied:
Its name begins with "rev"
It was loaded by the initialisation library
Its name begins with "com.livecode."
Its name is "message box, answer dialog, ask dialog, or home"
Its _ideoverride property is true
There is also a similar IDE function : revIDEStackIsIDEStack()
I don't think this revIDE.. handler is the root of this problem, but it might help you figure out what is. I'm sure that it's used in the loop that is causing the problem.

Here's the actual code for that handler from "revidelibrary.8.livecodescript"
Code: Select all
/**
function revIDEStackNameIsIDEStack pStackName
-- call revStackNameIsIDEStack in revcommonlibrary
return revStackNameIsIDEStack(pStackName)
end revIDEStackNameIsIDEStack
Code: Select all
function revStackNameIsIDEStack pStackName
if there is a stack pStackName and the _ideoverride of stack pStackName then
return true
else if pStackName is among the items of "message box,answer dialog,ask dialog,home" then
return true
else if pStackName begins with "com.livecode." then
return true
else if pStackName is among the lines of revInternal__ListLoadedLibraries() then
return true
else
return pStackName begins with "rev"
end if
end revStackNameIsIDEStack
revInternal__ListLoadedLibraries() used in that last 'else if' should return a return delimited list that looks like this:
devguides
diff
drawing
dropbox
extension-utils
getopt
httpd
messageauthentication
mime
oauth2
qr
revanimationlibrary
revbackscriptlibrary
revcommonlibrary
revdatabaselibrary
revdebuggerlibrary
revdeploylibrary
revfrontscriptlibrary
revgeometrylibrary
revhtml5urllibrary

Thank you for your attention Paul
I have solved it now.
You mentioning Plugins led me to look in the Development menu.
Script Debug Mode was on. When I turned it off the problem went away.
I do not remember turning it on, maybe it is on by default in new installations.
Thanks to both of you!!!
Michael
