Newbie Question: "invalid map <K,T> key"

[JensH 0]

I'm trying to read a variable from a list item:

 

Set(#MyValue, $list item(%MyList, 0), "Global")

 

The debugger shows that %MyList contains items but I get this error message:

 

Script Error:

invalid map <K,T> key

Source: > > Set

 

What am I doing wrong?

Are you using v5? It sounds like a v5 problem, since I never saw this in v4.

 

If so I would suggest you contact the support or open an issue here: http://tracker.ubotstudio.com/

Thanks for your fast reply. Yes, I'm running 5.0.7

 

Does this mean there's no solution except to downgrade?

Could you please post the data that is stored in your list item?

Maybe it has something to do with what you have in the list item. I can test it here on my side.

Thanks, Dan. My list items do look like this:

 

B00FY7NCPO

Martin

Molsted

 

 

and I try to set them like this:

 

Set(#MyValue, $list item(%MyList, 0), "Global")

Set(#MyValue1, $list item(%MyList, 1), "Global")

Set(#MyValue2, $list item(%MyList, 2), "Global")

I just tried:

 

set(#tmp, "B00FY7NCPO
Martin
Molsted", "Global")
add list to list(%test1, $list from text(#tmp, $new line), "Delete", "Global")
set(#test1, $list item(%test1, 0), "Global")
set(#test2, $list item(%test1, 1), "Global")
set(#test3, $list item(%test1, 2), "Global")

 

And that works fine in V5 and in V4.

 

Is that one giving you the same error?

No it isn't. I'm going to change my source code to fit your syntax now. Thank you for helping a newbie

Sure no problem. If you still run into issues, please let us know.

If you are a newbie I would suggest you downgrade, since your learning experience will be more pleasant.

 

v5 still has a lot of bugs so I believe a lot of times you won't know if the problem is in your code or it's actually a bug. Or at least get v4 so you can test the code in it, if you are having problems in v5.

 

No matter what you have in your list that code should work!
