F**k you! JavaS**t

:mad: Now what's wrong here:

function MyAwesomeFunction(value)
{
print("Should run my awesome function:"+value);
if(!value)
{
print("no");
//do some awesome task
}
else {
print("sure");
//some more awesome task goes here
}

SetValue( "DoAwesomeTask",value);
}

Run a for-loop and call this "awesome" method with true

for(i = 0; i<=50; i++)
MyAwesomeFunction(true);

Methods are guaranteed to run without exceptions but, when I tried to run the test code, out of 100 calls, code began to fail randomly.:mad: Sometimes, my awesome task is done, while sometimes not. But as per input it should never do my awesome task. :doh: :confused: I'm out of ideas why. Either me or Windows S**t Host is low on caffeine! :java:

That however is quite a bit different than saying they are guaranteed to succeed.

Qualifying what "fail" means would be the first step. That said when an application on a computer seems to be doing something impossible then the first step is to look at the assumptions, not the code. ...for example...you are assuming that the code you posted is the code that ran.

NOt really the right forum, but interesting! So - are you saying that your output from the above is something like: no no no sure no sure no no sure sure etc. ?

Yes, something like that. And I'm out of ideas why:confused:

They are guaranteed to succeed too. Ok, I remove some "awesome" code here, but that awesome code, in no way, breaks the execution unless there is an catastrophic failure. Some part of the awesome code sets the display css property to hidden at times. So, will this ever cause problems? I tried settings breakpoints, console.logs() & lot of them. And lastly, occurs only on windows (IE).

Ah you have the answer here! :rolleyes:

What happens when you get rid of this line ( SetValue( "DoAwesomeTask",value); )?

Tested your code using these here[^]. Works fine!

I do not code in JavaScript, but I would assume that booleans are passed by reference and the SetValue( "DoAwesomeTask",value); line somehow has the side effect of changing value. Try changing your loop to:

for(i = 0; i<=50; i++)
{
parameter = true;
MyAwesomeFunction(parameter);
}

If it's any consolation, I used to work with FORTRAN compilers where numeric values were passed by reference. Not normally a problem until

CALL MYSUB(666)
...
PRINT \*,"THE VALUE OF 666 IS: ", 666

...
SUBROUTINE MYSUB(I)
INT I
I = I * 2
RETURN
END

are you sure there's nothing redefining value?

No, not even any variable defined anywhere with the same name

Nah, I'm not messing with the value parameter anywhere.

Nope, SetValue doesn't change the value of the variable. It's an ajax call to the server. If error arises, fail silently. And this was encountered during dry run. No ajax. SetValue does nothing.

That problem occurs only in Windows S**t host! :mad: on Win7 Sp1.
