I found the offending piece of code in my helper functions.
function RegEsc(str){ // <-- Wanted to keep an alias around as legacy before deprecation
log("DEPRECATION WARNING: 'RegEsc' should be 'regEsc'!");
return regEsc(str);
}
function regEsc(str){
return str.replace(/[-[\]/{}()*+?.\\^$|]/g, "\\$&");
}
If the above stays as-is, the calls to DOpus.SetScheduledTimer etc fail.
If I change it to something like
function RegEsc(str){ // <-- Wanted to keep an alias around as legacy before deprecation
log("DEPRECATION WARNING: 'RegEsc' should be 'reg_Esc'!");
return reg_Esc(str);
}
function reg_Esc(str){
return str.replace(/[-[\]/{}()*+?.\\^$|]/g, "\\$&");
}
, the calls work again.
Setup as below, with the helper functions at the bottom:
var SAVE_TIMER = 1;
function OnInit(initData) {
initData.name = "SaveTabGroups";
initData.desc = "SaveTabGroups";
initData.copyright = "(c) 2020 Benjamin Philipp";
initData.default_enable = true;
initData.version = "1.0.1";
initData.log_prefix = initData.name;
initData.config.maxBackups = 20;
initData.config.maxFolders = 10; // TODO: save batches as subfolders. Maybe by day?
initData.config.saveAsName = "AutoSave";
}
/* (...helper functions) */
/* (...setup) */
function OnScheduledTimer(data){
if(data.id === SAVE_TIMER){
log("Save tabs:", glob("lastTabSaveLabel"));
saveGroup();
return;
}
}
// Event listener functions, for example:
function OnOpenTab(data){
scheduleSaveGroup("openTab");
}
function OnCloseTab(data){
scheduleSaveGroup("CloseTab");
}
// calling function
function scheduleSaveGroup(label){
try{
DOpus.KillTimer(SAVE_TIMER); // <-- fails lately? Without try/catch, throws "A method was called unexpectedly (0x8000ffff)"
}
catch(e){
log(e); // (prints stringified error to console:) "-2147418113: Catastrophic failure"
}
var t = DOpus.Create.Date();
t.Add(5, "s");
// log("Schedule save tabs:", label, t);
sglob("lastTabSaveLabel", label);
lastLabel = label;
log("Set timer?", SAVE_TIMER, t); // prints, for example. "1 '2026-08-11 15:55:31'": all seems well
var res = DOpus.SetScheduledTimer(SAVE_TIMER, t); // <-- Same error
return;
}

What. The actual. Fuck.
Why does having two functions that only differ in capitalization result in timers not working?
JScript has case-sensitive function names, but ActiveScripting does not.
Having two functions whose names only differ by case makes the ActiveScripting method for getting a list of a script's functions (IDispatch::GetTypeInfo) fail with error TYPE_E_AMBIGUOUSNAME.
Unfortunately the API just fails outright, rather than returning a list of the script's other functions.
Edit: We'll add a diagnostic message when this happens, so it's easier to work out what's going wrong.
