Syntax error when adding pick option

Hi,

I encountered a syntax error when adding pick options.

It looks like there's something wrong with the auto-generated flexscript.

This phenomenon was found in FlexSim2021.0 and was not improved even after converting to FlexSim2023.0.

It's also strange that the "{" is green because there are no blank lines on lines 65 and 66 of the On Arrival Trigger in DP1.

I would like to explain this phenomenon to my customer, do you have a good explanation?

Thanks in advance.

Hey @Shinya O, for the first issue, I can replicate your error with the model you've provided, but I can't seem to replicate it with a new Decision Point I drag out from the Library. I'm using v23.0.9, and the panels look slightly different when you select the different DPs. Also, if you remove some of the existing triggers and add them back, it seems to work fine. Is there a specific set of steps that you take to produce this error consistently?

For the second issue, that seems to be a visual bug considering the code still runs even with that "commented" curly brace. I'll add that to the dev list - to fix the syntax highlighting in that scenario. Thank you for pointing this out.

Upon further investigation, it seems that there's a bad spacing character in the code. If you delete the last two back-slashes (\\) from line 91, you'll notice that the curly brace on line 92 is no longer green. This also fixes the syntax error you get after adding the "Enter Restricted Area" PickOption.

For the first issue, I do not know how to reproduce this issue with a specific procedure from a new model. There is no information other than that it was created by some procedure using FlexSimJapanese 2021.

For the second issue, thank you for your reply. I hope the visual bug is fixed soon.

I found that by opening the code of the On Arrival trigger in the corresponding model and pressing "Apply", no syntax error appeared. For some reason FlexScript fails to compile properly?

Hey @Shinya O, the two issues are related. The visual bug is caused by the same thing that is causing the flexscript compilation error. To avoid this, do as you said and hit "Apply" to get rid of the error. The dev team has opened a case for this already.

Is there something else you had a question about?
