#I really really really wish for a better exception message for createToken

I am working on an add-on where I create a number of maps with a few tokens on during onFirstInit. This is working fine, except for one token.
I get this error:

00:28:06.190 DEBUG net.rptools.maptool.client.MapToolLineParser - screenTexture = "lib://" + ns + "/assets/images/bgtexture.png"
00:28:06.190 DEBUG net.rptools.maptool.client.MapToolLineParser - tokenId = createToken(
    json.set("{}",
        "name","Image:Texture",
        "tokenImage", screenTexture,
        "size","Native",
        "layer", "Hidden"
    )
)
00:28:06.192 DEBUG net.rptools.maptool.client.MapToolLineParser - net.rptools.parser.ParserException: Argument number 1 invalid argument type for function "copyToken".
00:28:06.192 ERROR net.rptools.maptool.client.swing.MapToolEventQueue - java.util.concurrent.CompletionException: net.rptools.parser.ParserException: Argument number 1 invalid argument type for function "copyToken".
java.util.concurrent.CompletionException: net.rptools.parser.ParserException: Argument number 1 invalid argument type for function "copyToken".

I have copied the code from another token which is created fine, and just edited a couple of values and then I get this.
The code for creating the token looks like this:

[h:screenTexture = "lib://" + ns + "/assets/images/bgtexture.png"]
[h:tokenId = createToken(
    json.set("{}",
        "name","Image:Texture",
        "tokenImage", screenTexture,
        "size","Native",
        "layer", "Hidden"
    )
)]

The exact same syntax is used several times successfully with other tokens, only different is the values of the json.

Any ideas on what I am missing here?

And would anyone with half an idea what they're doing (i.e. anyone but me) please improve the error message from createToken?! 😄

For f** sake... It was the actually file name. All other token images are png, but this particular one is jpeg ... I am going to bed ...
My wish for a better error message still stands though 😉

  1. Looks like someone's copy-pasta retained the copyToken label, or if it is built into an extension of the copyToken code it is not changing the function name.

Having a look at size options on different layers. Hidden doesn't have native size it has free size. I wonder if this is actually different or if it is synonymous.
I wonder if the : in the name is the issue. It would not surprise me if Image: type token labels were missed in the implementation.
Wondering also if the image address causes it to fail.

Each of those should have their own error messages, of course. It's likely the original code just has a single error message to cover an entire range of problems. 😦
