cabbageCreate "incompatible type" error

#1

with this I get INIT ERROR: channel already exists with incompatible type

        SEffectSelect1 sprintf {{ bounds(5, 5, 130, 30), populate("*.orc", "%s"), channelType("string"), colour(30,30,30,0), value("FilterVerb.orc"), channel("EffectList1"), highlightColour("52, 152, 219,100"), fontColour(40,40,40), parent("EffectsControls1") }}, gSEffectDir
        cabbageCreate "combobox", SEffectSelect1  
SeffectList=chnget:S("EffectList1")

but if I put the chnget before the channel is created, it compiles.

SeffectList=chnget:S("EffectList1")
    SEffectSelect1 sprintf {{ bounds(5, 5, 130, 30), populate("*.orc", "%s"), channelType("string"), colour(30,30,30,0), value("FilterVerb.orc"), channel("EffectList1"), highlightColour("52, 152, 219,100"), fontColour(40,40,40), parent("EffectsControls1") }}, gSEffectDir
    cabbageCreate "combobox", SEffectSelect1

Just curious why this happens? Am I not pulling a string from chnget? Full code attached here cabbageCreateTest.csd (967 Bytes)

I get no such error here? What version of Cabbage are you using? Usually this kind of error is because you have already declared a widget of the same channel name, but with a different channel type. But your code is working fine here.

#3

Cabbage 2.7.5

The example file I attached works b/c it is the latter block. Can you reproduce it with this one attached?

For me, it consistently throws the error and then crashes Cabbage.

#4

This one works fine for me. :thinking: I tested with 2.7.4 and 2.7.6 which is the build from yesterday…

#5

That’s very strange then. Something’s definitely up… I have been having some other odd issues with Cabbage. Sometimes I have to load another .csd outside of my working directory to compile anything from my working directory… I tried clearing the prefs but that didn’t do anything. Any other suggestions?

#6

What version of Csound are you using? Something has creeped in somewhere with csoundCompile() and I’m no sure what. But some of the example no longer run with a whitespace in their name. it’s odd, they always did before. Changing back to Csound 6.15 fixes it but I still don’t know why… but maybe this isn’t even the issue in this case…

#7

I’m on 2.7.7

#8

And when this issue happens all you need to do is compile another .csd and then like magic the one that didn’t work suddenly does?

#9

Exactly. Just ran a few quick tests…

This happens consistently when I first open Cabbage. Any file I try to compile in my “Plugin Development” folder doesn’t open or do anything. I need to open a .csd on my Desktop compile it and then I can run anything else… seems very system specific. I only have some git initialized on the Plugin Dev folder… but nothing else really permissions-wise.

#10

If you remove the whitespace in the folder name does it work?

#11

Yes, that seems to be the case

#12

I was blindly hoping that would resolve this issue too but no luck :smile_cat:
