TypeChecker bug or am I doing something wrong?

[keen moth]

--!strict

local DataAPI = require(game.ServerScriptService.DataAPI)
local dataTree = {}

DataAPI.register(dataTree) --"DataAPI" gets underlined orange from Type Checker

I could give DataAPI the type any but im loosing auto complete this way

[lime spindle]

Maybe report it like it says 😱

[keen moth]

I already did that but im searching for a solution or maybe im doing something wrong

[lime spindle]

Is any of the scripts that is dataapi having type errors

[keen moth]

no

[lime spindle]

The collect data method looks Wierd

[keen moth]

Ig this but this is likely to be also a bug

[lime spindle]

In the hover

[lime spindle]

I usually ignore those

[keen moth]

function API.save(player)
    if not API.dataTree.DataStoreName then return end

    local ds = DataStoreService:GetDataStore(API.dataTree.DataStoreName)
    local saveData = API.logic.collectSaveData(player)

    local success, err = pcall(function()
        ds:SetAsync(player.UserId, saveData)
    end)

    if not success then
        warn("Save failed for", player.Name, err)
    end
end

I mean this looks fine to me

function API.collectSaveData(player)
    local saveData = {}

    for _, child in player:GetChildren() do
        local folderDef = API.getFolderDefinitionByName(child.Name)
        if not folderDef then continue end

        local valuesToSave = API.getValuesToSave(child, folderDef)
        if not valuesToSave then continue end

        for key, value in valuesToSave do
            saveData[key] = value
        end
    end

    return saveData
end

the collectSaveData() also isnt doing something insane

stop using --!strict on everything

😭

it has a lot of cons

[keen moth]

I simplified the bug on a much easier script and the bug only exists with --!strict bru

[keen moth]

which for example

[hidden plover]

First of all

No type checking

Second of all

Silent Errors

Third of all

Risk of memory corruption

Fourth of all

[keen moth]

wdym by no type checking, isnt --!strict stricter type checking?

[keen moth]

do you have an example of Silent Errors?

[hidden plover]

I think my old man said cons of --!nonstrict

lmao

mb then

but why --!strict on everything bro

is it necessary

[lime spindle]

yes

[keen moth]

i mean your automaticly producing less bugs ig

[hidden plover]

enabled --!strict for the first time..

[keen moth]

yeah you need to build a script from ground up if you use —!strict
