config.lua too complex?

Getting Started Newbie Questions
1

Hi,

I recently upgraded to build 2016.2992, and every time I start Corona simulator, I get the following warning message:

“WARNING: validate-settings: config.lua too complex for static analysis”

I didn’t used to get this message with build 2016.2989.

Is this something I should be concerned about?

And if so, how should I fix it?

Thanks in advance!

What does your config.lua look like? Please post the code.

Check if your config.lua file is valid according to thisinformation from documentation.

Yes, it is valid and in accordance with the documentation guidelines, as far as I know. I do get a warning (and hence this post) but there are no errors, and my app functions without any problems.

Here is my code

Config.lua

local d = require("data") local aspectRatio = display.pixelHeight/display.pixelWidth local h, class if (aspectRatio \< 1.34) then -- iPad h = 426 d.setClass("A") elseif (aspectRatio \< 1.61) then -- Kindle Fire HD h = 512 d.setClass("B") elseif (aspectRatio \< 1.67) then -- Nexus One, Nokia Lumina h = 533 d.setClass("C") elseif (aspectRatio \< 1.71) then -- Kindle Fire, Samsung Galaxy Tab h = 546 d.setClass("D") else -- iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Amazon Fire, Ouya, etc. h = 568 d.setClass("E") end application = { content = { width = 320, height = h, scale = "zoomEven", xAlign = "center", yAlign = "center", imageSuffix = { ["@2x"] = 1.5, ["@3x"] = 2.5, ["@4x"] = 3.5 }, fps = d.fps, }, }

Data.lua

local D = {} D.fps = 30 function D.setClass(class) D.class = class end --[[some other irrelevant code --]] return D

First of all, it’s a warning not an error. We are now examining both config.lua and build.settings to make sure they contain valid code. This catches mistakes like:

FacebookAppID vs. FacebookAppId.

Our scanner can’t really spend the time parsing the file you’re requiring and yes, your config.lua is too complex for our parser. The net effect is you get the warning and you don’t get any problems we might flag while trying to help you make sure that part of your code is right.

As I mentioned earlier in the post, I’m aware it’s a warning and not an error. And no, I don’t encounter any problems while running my code. It works just fine as per the previous build.

I do appreciate the scanner “looking out for me” in case of potential errors, but I am positive there are none (if there was an error, I would have encountered it by now).

The thing is, it bothers me that, every time I launch the Corona simulator, I get a warning message. (I am warned. I do not need to be warned 1000 times.)

Is there any way to turn it off?

Thanks,
KC

We currently don’t have a way to turn it off.

Ok, thank you for telling me. At least I know you can’t turn it off now.
