Locking error trying remove a global script

Ignition
1

Hello everyone,

I have a problem using some scripts in the shared library. Firstly, I created a script file in my project but then I decided to move it to the shared library, to do it, I dragged the script to the scripting global zone. Since that point I cannot open the script file and if I try to remove or rename it, a message appears:
“Unable to retrieve lock for resource ‘ScriptsName’. The resource has been changed. please update your project.”

For giving more information, the next lines appear in the output console when I do double click on the script to open it:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-2" java.lang.NullPointerException at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.scripteditor.workspace.ScriptWorkspace.askOpenReadOnly(ScriptWorkspace.java:184) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.scripteditor.workspace.ScriptWorkspace.openScript(ScriptWorkspace.java:167) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.scripteditor.workspace.ModuleNode.onDoubleClick(ModuleNode.java:97) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.navtree.NavTreePanel$MouseListener$1.run(NavTreePanel.java:649) at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.access$500(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.security.ProtectionDomain$JavaSecurityAccessImpl.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source)
In contrast, I can copy and paste the script and my code is there.

If any one can help me I will be thankful. Thanks.

Regards, Enrique.

P.D. I am using 7.8.2 version

Hi there,

Silly questions. Did you update your project? There is a button next to your save button in the designer for updating/refreshing your project. Click on it and then try to open your script file. If that doesn’t work then close your designer and reopen it.

Best,

Thank you for your reply. These were the first things I did but with no success. Even I tried to create a new project but neither I can open the files.

Any more ideas?

Thanks!

:blush: I was able to replicate this in 7.8.4. I’ll open a ticket to get it fixed.
