SDK encap weird results

Hi list, [Working under WinNT4.0 SP6] Problem: -------- I have created some utilities in REBOL and encap then with SDK to obtain an exe I can call from a code editor. - One of those utilities is a "script launcher" named "launcher.exe". - when I invoque it from the shell, it works - when I invoque it from the "External Tools" from EmEditor, it works. - when I invoque it from a Beanshell script from jEdit, it hangs ! I get then the weird and un-understandable warning: "PROGRAM ERROR: Invalid encapsulated data." I tried to use: exec("encap.exe " + buffer.getPath()); and a thread run() { exec("launcher.exe " + buffer.getPath()); } new Thread(this).start(); without success. NB: the same problem appears with other encap'ed scripts. Question: --------- - It wich case does this warning triggers ? - which special conditions are created by the use of Beanshell, which does trigger it ? Although this is almost OT, I hope a kind someone can put me on the right path to the solution. TIA :-) =christophe coussement

I don't know the answer, but the only time I consistently see this error is when I try to launch another instance of an encapped application after having either 'call'd a system function, or use the 'request-file commands. In this case, Rebol is executing a Rebol encapped script, and maybe the same conditions are then operative. Coussement Christophe wrote.. apparently on 7-Jun-2005/10:19:16+2:00

Hi Christophe, On Tuesday, June 7, 2005, 10:19:16 AM, you wrote: CC> - It wich case does this warning triggers ? CC> - which special conditions are created by the use of Beanshell, which CC> does trigger it ? This usually happens when REBOL cannot locate its executable file. It needs to do so to be able to extract out the REBOL code. Maybe the launcher you are using does not set some information REBOL uses to determine the location of the .exe file.

Gabriele, Graham, Thanks a lot for your answers. I'll start to dig in that ... greetz, ==christophe coussement

exec("encap.exe " + buffer.getPath()); and not finding exe (Gabrieles answer). Have you tried full path? exec("c:\whereever\encap.exe " + buffer.getPath()); On 6/7/05, Coussement Christophe <[Christophe--Coussement--mil--be]> wrote:

Volker, Thanks for your suggestion. Actually I did and it won't help. But I did find out it has to do with the exe location. The problem seems to be resolved if I locate my exe's into the same dir than the bsh (BeanShell macro files). Somehow, the encap script must be located into the same working dir than the app which calls it, or you have to find a way to set the dir up(which I cannot do due to my limited Java knowledge). Thanks! ==christophe coussement
