Flex45 Posted January 23, 2023 Report Posted January 23, 2023 Hi John, I notice a weird issue when using executecalccode to set an Hvar (using FSUIPC_WAPI module) and looking in the forum I can only find related topics but not the same. Specifically I try to set a simple Hvar for the A32NX using executecalclatorcode and everything is working perfectly except is some random cases which I cannot figure out when they occur. The call in my code is similar to this: WasmPtr->executecalclatorCode("(>H:A320_Neo_CDU_2_BTN_CLR)"); As said above everything works ok most of the time but there are some random cases where it fails and the main issue is that everything else breaks as well. eg. getLvar() (which I call from anothier function in my code) also stops working etc (see log data below). Looking in the FSUIPC_WASMIF debug log, in normal conditions I have the following: [INFO]: **** Starting FSUIPC7 WASM Interface (WAPI) version 0.9.1 (WASM version 0.9.1) [INFO]: Connected to MSFS but when executecalclatorCode fails I have the following: [INFO]: **** Starting FSUIPC7 WASM Interface (WAPI) version 0.9.1 (WASM version 0.9.1) [INFO]: Connected to MSFS [ERROR]: Error setting Client Data Calculator Code: '(>H:A320_Neo_CDU_2_BTN_CLR)' [ERROR]: SimConnect_RequestClientData for lvars failed!!!!

[ERROR]: SimConnect_RequestClientData for lvars failed!!!! [ERROR]: SimConnect_RequestClientData for lvars failed!!!! and log goes on like this...... Any ideas as to why this might happening? Also is there a way I can protect it from breaking completely in case the Hvar call fails? Thanks in advance, Regards,

What do you do to get it working again - restart your application or restart MSFS? If you have to do the latter, it could be an issue with the WASM. Did you check your FSUIPC_WASM.log file? Are you using any other WAPI clients (e.g. FSUIPC7)? Could you set Debug level logging in the WAPI (WasmPtr->setLogLevel(LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG)) and in the WASM (via the FSUIPC_WASM.ini file) and show me both your WAPI log file and the WASM log file the next time this occurs. Thanks, John
Flex45 Posted January 23, 2023 Author Report Posted January 23, 2023 It's an external application so just a restart of the application restores everything.... No need for a simulator restart. I don't use anything else, just the fsuipc wapi to get and set the variables through my code. In my code I have some setLvar and executecalclatorCode calls on demand and a general getLvar function which is called every 1 or 2 seconds.... Also if it helps you further, when the issue occurs, trying the same executecalclatorCode command through your Wasm Client application works perfectly and then retrying from my code still does nothing (execute CalculatorCode line still hit in my code but the command never reaches the aircraft). Is there a chance the connection to the module terminates when this occurs? I will enable the debug as you suggested and I will let you know. Thanks
John Dowson Posted January 23, 2023 Report Posted January 23, 2023 It won't be an issue with the WASM then. You could try and see if you can reproduce in a debugger to see what the issue is? Otherwise a debug (or maybe even a trace) log from the WAPI for when this issue occurs would be helpful. 12 minutes ago, Flex45 said: a general getLvar function which is called every 1 or 2 seconds.... You shouldn't need to do this - you can use registerLvarUpdateCallback to get a callback when an lvar value changes, which would be better than polling. John

I enabled the debug level logging and waiting for the issue to occur again as I can't reproduce on demand. I will let you know once I have the data you need. Thanks once more

I already debugged my code when the issue is active and all seems ok (executecalclatorCode lines still running). I am not sure how to debug WAPI though.

Note: Before the execcalclatorCode call that failed (BTN_L6) there was another executecalclatorCode call for another mcdu button which worked ok and the fault triggered between the two calls, thus the first error is not a calc code. Any ideas? Thanks

Maybe you need to set the logging level to Trace for this - can you do this please. You also have your client application requesting lvar updates. It is better to have the WASM push the updates instead - which it does by default anyway. Try setting the lvar update frequency to 0 (wasmPtr->setLvarUpdateFrequency(0)) and use the WASM ini parameter LvarUpdateFrequency to set the required frequency for updates. Could it be a threading issue? There are no critical sections around the executeCalaculatorCode calls as I didn't think these were needed as the the SimConnect_SetClientData calls should be thread-safe. If you are using multiple threads, you could try adding a CS around your executeCalaculatorCode calls to see if that improves things. Anyway, for now just update your logging to Trace, use the WASM for the lvar updates, and show me (attach please, not paste the contents) the log file if it happens with that change. 6 hours ago, Flex45 said: I am not sure how to debug WAPI though. See https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/debugging-external-sources-with-visual-studio/. Note that there is a debug enabled library available for the WAPI, no pdb file though but the source for the WAPI is available on github. And I am not suggesting you debug the WAPI (this shouldn't be necessary anyway!), but to use the debugger to try and determine what is occurring when you get the first error. But try without the client requesting lvar updates for now - this has caused some issues in the past for some developers using the WAPI, but I don't understand why, This was the default method that FSUIPC used before I decided to switch to updating via the WASM, and I never saw any issues (and none were reported in FSUIPC).

John Dowson Posted January 25, 2023 Report Posted January 25, 2023 Oh - and you could also enable a simconnect log to see if that shows anything...if needed, try what I have already advised first...

Maybe you need to set the logging level to Trace for this - can you do this please. [DEBUG] never logged successful execcalcCode calls, only [ERROR] ones were logged. In [TRACE] level unfortunately, file size becomes excessive very fast, which makes it impossible to log in that level for too long. (I have to start the flight from cold and dark and then hope the issue occurs in flight to be logged otherwise it never occured up to now). 19 hours ago, John Dowson said: Oh - and you could also enable a simconnect log to see if that shows anything...if needed, try what I have already advised first... I tried this as well but error logged by simconnect isn't of much help I think. 3821.27980 [336] I/O Error! (2, 80004004) As a temporary workaround for now (since execcalclatorCode calls in my code are in only 3 instances and called on demand/not frequently) I tried, after those calls to stop and start connection again to the module (using end() and start() functions). After the restart everything is back to normal, also execcalclatorCode calls. I know it's not the best solution/fix but at least it protects things from breaking after the error, for now. (reload() call didn't help) Thanks
John Dowson Posted January 26, 2023 Report Posted January 26, 2023 Did you do as I advised? i.e. do not use your client to request lvar updates, use the WASM...that is what you should try first... 8 minutes ago, Flex45 said: I tried this as well but error logged by simconnect isn't of much help I think. 3821.27980 [336] I/O Error!

That doesn't tell me anything I'm afraid...I would need to see the full log - you can try zipping and attaching... You have quite a few simconnect connections running: 322, 323, 324, 325, 326, 334, 335, 336 & 337 - at least, according to that short log extract, and all of them just giving errors... What are all those connections (a full log file would tell me....)? Search for Open: strings - that will tell you the connection name and thus the programs using them... Your SimConnect is certainly having issues before the I/O error with all those exceptions reported... John

That was because simconnect.ini logging was at Error level....I increased to Verbose and now it's logging all the data however I need to reproduce the issue again and send you the log. I did check those simconnect connections throwing the exceptions though and are mostly other aircrafts/applications exe when autoloading with MSFS start. After that simconnect runs without any exceptions. (I will send you the log once I reproduce the issue to have a look as well). Meanwhile I am trying to register the callbacks however as easy as it should be, I must be doing something wrong and get some build errors. My workflow up to the errors point is the following: In the initialization I do: WasmPtr = WASMIF::GetInstance(); WasmPtr->setLvarUpdateFrequency(6); WasmPtr->Start(); and then I add the following function (which I expect to be called when loading is completed, as described here https://github.com/jldowson/FSUIPC_WAPI) void WASMIF::registerUpdateCallback(void(*callbackFunction)(void)) { } When I build the code I get an error that registerUpdateCallback function is already defined. Is there an example/workflow somewhere I can follow to do the callback registers correctly? Thanks

Of course it is defined - you have to register your own function, and before you start the WAPI, i.e. WasmPtr->registerUpdateCallback(&LvarsChanged); WasmPtr->registerLvarUpdateCallback(lvarsUpdatedById); // if needed WasmPtr->Start(); and then supply two functions: void LvarsChanged(void) // Called when lvar names have been received and are available { ... // use registerLvarsForCallbck here if needed } void lvarsUpdatedById(int id[], double newValue[]) // Called when an lvar value has changed { ... }
Flex45 Posted January 27, 2023 Author Report Posted January 27, 2023 Hi John, Many thanks for the help, it works perfectly now using the callback. I keep simconnect logging and once the issue with execcalclatorCode occurs again (if it does), I will send you the logs. Many thanks
John Dowson Posted January 27, 2023 Report Posted January 27, 2023 No problem - but your issue should be resolved. I hope - especially if you have turned off lvar update requests from the client. Cheers, John
Flex45 Posted January 28, 2023 Author Report Posted January 28, 2023 16 hours ago, John Dowson said: especially if you have turned off lvar update requests from the client. Yes, now there are no getLvar calls, just a few setLvar calls on demand along with the 3 instances with execcalclatorCode. Let's see how it goes, I will test it for a couple of days and let you know the results either case. Regards,
Flex45 Posted February 17, 2023 Author Report Posted February 17, 2023 Hi John, A quick update on how it worked out. I had some issues as well with the callback method. 1) Even though I was waiting for a call that Lvars are loaded and available before using them, they never initialized properly. However when an Lvar was changing I was getting a callback with the proper value - not for all of them at init though. I even increased LvarScanDelay from 5 to 50 but still with no luck. I didn't investigate further though as it wasn't the only issue. 2) A few variables, never called back even when their value was changed. Out of my head, to name a few: - A32NX_HYD_BRAKE_ALTN_RIGHT_PRESS (A32NX_HYD_BRAKE_ALTN_LEFT_PRESS updates normally or vice versa 🙂) Eg. Parking brake on->off....One gives the callback with the updated value the other one doesn't. - A32NX_FMA_VERTICAL_MODE Also I didn't investigate too much on this, there might be more. (Doing a getLvar Call though returns the correct value). 3) Even though this is not a bug, I think callback method works for my project less optimally compared to the getLvar individual call method. (Explained below) If throughout the flight I use for example 50 Lvars, those 50 are not used all the time and for the whole flight. At a given flight phase a few are only used and might not be used again for the rest of the flight. The getLvar method allows me to call only the few I need and don't bother with the rest that won't be used anymore. The register for callback method, unless there is a way I am missing, will keep monitoring all the Lvars all the time. Regards,

I didn't investigate further though as it wasn't the only issue. The lvars-ready callback is performed once all lvars have been loaded (i.e. the names known), not when they have received an initialisation value. All lvars are initialised to 0.0, If you need the values initialised, you should set a timer in this callback (200ms or so should be ok)and perform your actions in the timer callback. I guess I could delay the callback until the first set of values have been received - I will look into this. 2 hours ago, Flex45 said: 2) A few variables, never called back even when their value was changed.

Try setting Debug level logging in the WAPI - this should tell you when am lvar is flagged for callback when values are received. If you can generate a log showing your issue (it will be large so will need to be compressed/zipped) I will take a look. 2 hours ago, Flex45 said: 3) Even though this is not a bug, I think callback method works for my project less optimally compared to the getLvar individual call method.

But you can use whatever method works best for what you are trying to achieve. Cheers, John

Not sure either, but it happens every time and can be reproduced very easily. Initialize with park brake set and then release parking brake. You will see that one side gives the callback and drops pressure to 0 the other one remains to the old value without callback.

I suspect that it this is happening then it is the lvar that is not changing value. but I will take a look. Is this in the Asobo or FBW A320. and if the latter which version (stable, development, experimental)? Btw, please also update to the latest beta, if not using this already: John

This callback is then used by FSUIPC to update the values held in the offsets. This therefore seems to be working as expected and the error must be in your code somewhere. John

I have looked at his now as well and have updated so that the lvars-loaded callback will be called after the initial values have been received. The downside of this is that you wont get an lvar-update callback for the initial value. I haven't released this update yet though - I will do some further testing first.
