Using efsInternal inside efsLib

[smeyer55]

Is using an efsInternal call inside a function in an efsLib allowed?

I have a function in a library which is called from main(), and in that function I use efsInternal to call another function within the same library to generate a series.

The code gets to the line with the efsInternal call on it and then just exits without any exceptions or errors being generated.

I put a try/catch block around the efsInternal call and didn't get any exceptions.

I can put debugPrintln's before and after the call. The one before is hit, but the one after isn't.

Thanks,

Steve

Hello Steve,

Yes, you should be able to use efsInternal() inside a function library file. Please post a code example that illustrates the problem and I'll investigate.

Hi Jason,

I'm having the same/similar problem. In the following code I don't understand why mySeries2 always prints a "null". mySeries2 is created the same way as mySeries1 except that it is created inside of a library. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Jeff

test.efsLib

function createSeries2()
{
    return efsInternal("foo2");
}

function foo2()
{
    return 2;
}

Test.efs

var myLib = null;
var mySeries1 = null;
var mySeries2 = null;
var fullyInitialized = false;

function main()
{
    if (!fullyInitialized)
    {
        if (myLib == null)
            myLib = addLibrary("test.efsLib");
        if (mySeries1 == null)
            mySeries1 = efsInternal("createSeries1");
        if (mySeries2 == null)
            mySeries2 = myLib.createSeries2();
        fullyInitialized = true;
    }

    if (getCurrentBarIndex() == -10)
    {
        debugPrintln("mySeries1 at -10 = " + mySeries1.getValue(0));
        debugPrintln("mySeries2 at -10 = " + mySeries2.getValue(0));
    }

    return 0;
}

function createSeries1()
{
    return efsInternal("foo1");
}

function foo1()
{
    return 1;
}

Hello Jeff,

The addLibrary() call needs to be performed in the global scope outside of main(). Please give that a try.
