[Resolved] Checker repair GC7180M (25106)
May 10, 2018 11:54AM
Hi, the challenge checker for cache GC7180M (25106) is not working correctly for some profile names. If I run the checker with my name "GeoLash", "ASS3755" or "MNPD" then the output is fine, but with profile name "moose61", "Hoentjes" or "jobi44" the checker returns an error message as shown below. This is happening since recently. Can you fix this?

Caught exception
[string ""]:37: attempt to compare number with nil

Best regards, GeoLash (NL)

I'm sorry but I had to issue a new checker based on another script https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7180M/34709 . The problem is cause by change in the system while most scripts are adjusted, the script of the original checker is not adjusted by the scriptwriter. This is made know but sofar no action is taken.

Please test and confirm

Thanks vogelbird, the new script produces different output but works as well to check challenge qualification. Should I have contacted the original script writer instead?

This is fine at least we can keep track of any problems, thanks

The original checker seems to be working fine now (though I'm not sure what changed as first test against it failed). There is a chance that projectgc has updated data in between as it may be the elevation value was null which seems to happen sometimes - though I believe the script has protection for that in place

I'm not sure why Vogelbird mentioned the change in the system as the script has been updated since then and as far as I know there aren't any known issues with it (but it is complicated so there could be bugs somewhere).

I have changed a few tags of this script already to your script because the checker fails with too many cachers on different tags. What I understand is that the script has a problem with caches which have no elevation data.

I stopped using this script

I believe I've fixed the issue with elevation data - if you've got any example tags/owners I can look at what is happening as there is a chance something else is wrong. (Though I'm not sure why project-gc is failing to supply elevation data on old caches).

I've just tried all those owner names again and they are working for me, it could be it is an intermittent problem or data has been updated now which always makes the debugging harder.

Just to make sure the problem is with Elevation/Altitude bands (by ShammyLevva) and Locationless caches are missing elevation data

Hi mole125,

The original checker still does not work fine for some profile names like moose61, Hoentjes, jobi44. For others like GeoLash it does not produce an error message. So the error is depending on the profile name and appears recently as jobi44 ran the original checker without issues on March 7, but now it throws the exception error.

Best regards, GeoLash

I have referred to the new checker tag in my challenge cache, so this request can be closed. Thanks for your help!
