hs.SaveVar / hs.GetVar Broken in 2.1.100

[TreeFrog]

UPDATE -- I overlooked that I needed to use a hs.CreateVar before the SaveVar. The funny thing is this code is exactly the same as it was running in 2.0.41, but for some reason I never got an error about it. Thanks to HS support for their fast response to my ticket.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on a ticket I just opened. After upgrading to 2.1.100, some of my scripts broke. Specifically when using hs.SaveVar and hs.GetVar functions. Here is a copy of the ticket I submitted:

I have scripts which use the hs.SaveVar / hs.GetVar functions. After upgrading to 2.1.100 (from 2.0.41 I think), these functions do not operate as intended. Specificially, they break when using hs.SaveVar to point to an object reference.

Here is an example.

Using the following script:

    dim mediaAOLRadioStationNames as New ArrayList() 
       
      mediaAOLRadioStationNames.Add("XM The Blend") 
      mediaAOLRadioStationNames.Add("AOL Pop Remixes") 
      mediaAOLRadioStationNames.Add("XM BPM") 
      mediaAOLRadioStationNames.Add("XM Chill") 
       
      dim i 
       
      for i = 0 to mediaAOLRadioStationNames.count - 1 
       
          hs.writelog("test", mediaAOLRadioStationNames(i)) 
       
      next 

I get the following in the hs.log:

6/30/2006 10:01:44 AM test XM The Blend
6/30/2006 10:01:44 AM test AOL Pop Remixes
6/30/2006 10:01:44 AM test XM BPM
6/30/2006 10:01:44 AM test XM Chill

However, when using hs.SaveVar to place this array in a HomeSeer variable with the following test script:

    dim mediaAOLRadioStationNames as New ArrayList() 
       
      mediaAOLRadioStationNames.Add("XM The Blend") 
      mediaAOLRadioStationNames.Add("AOL Pop Remixes") 
      mediaAOLRadioStationNames.Add("XM BPM") 
      mediaAOLRadioStationNames.Add("XM Chill") 
       
      hs.DeleteVar("mediaAOLRadioStationNames") 
   
      hs.SaveVar("mediaAOLRadioStationNames", mediaAOLRadioStationNames) 
   
      dim testVar 
       
      testVar = hs.GetVar("mediaAOLRadioStationNames") 
       
      dim i 
       
      for i = 0 to testVar.count - 1 
       
          hs.writelog("test", testVar(i)) 
       
      next 

I get the following error in the HS log:

Scripting runtime error: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.MissingMemberException: Public member 'count' on type 'String' not found. at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Symbols.Container.Get Members(String& MemberName, Boolean ReportErrors) at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.NewLateBinding.LateGe t(Object Instance, Type Type, String MemberName, Object[] Arguments, String[] ArgumentNames, Type[] TypeArguments, Boolean[] CopyBack) at scriptcode17.scriptcode17.test(Object dummy) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.RuntimeMethodHandle._InvokeMethodFast(Object target, Object[] arguments, SignatureStruct& sig, MethodAttributes methodAttributes, RuntimeTypeHandle typeOwner) at System.RuntimeMethodHandle.InvokeMethodFast(Object target, Object[] arguments, Signature sig, MethodAttributes methodAttributes, RuntimeTypeHandle typeOwner) at System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo.Invoke(Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object[] parameters, CultureInfo culture, Boolean skipVisibilityChecks) at System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo.Invoke(Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object[] parameters, CultureInfo culture) at System.Reflection.MethodBase.Invoke(Object obj, Object[] parameters) at Scheduler.VsaScriptHost.Invoke(String ModuleName, String MethodName, Object[] Arguments)

This same script worked perfectly in previous HS 2.x versions.
