| Summary | 0008730: Fatal Error when selecting routes via Lua | ||||
| Description | Mixbus32c v7.0 and Ardour v6.7 Using the script in Steps below causes a Fatal Error crash saying "programming error: unknown selectable type passed to Selection:add()". According to the manual’s Lua class reference, RouteTimeAxisView is a RouteUI which is a Selectable which is what set_selection() requires. So this error was unexpected. Robin Gareus commented that the script looks correct, which suggests that this is a bug in Ardour. I also tried with the "ArdourUI.SelectionOp.Add" parameter value which had the same result, only this time the error message said "Add()" instead of "add()". | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | In the Lua script window... local r = Session:route_by_name(“route name here”) local rtav = Editort:rtav_from_route(r) local sl = ArdourUI.SelectionList() sl:push_back(rtav) Editor:set_selection(sl, ArdourUI.SelectionOp.Set) | ||||

A further comment from Robin in the discourse topic... "I just realized that Editor:set_selection is exclusively for items that are only visible on the editor-timeline. Track/Bus selection is synced with the Mixer and control-surfaces. It is not currently possible to select track from Lua scripts, and there are some technical issues with exposing that API." So, not a bug after all by the sounds of it. P.S. The script has a typo - "Editort" - here and in the discourse topic. It was not the cause of the problem. |
