i have no idea whats going on, Im going insane

const id : string = decoder.decode(ClientComponent.string[eid]);
      console.log("id:", id);
      const channelId = <string>channel.id;
      console.log("channelId", channelId);
      if(id === channelId)
      {
        // decode input
        InputComponent.x[eid] = inputArray[1];
        InputComponent.y[eid] = inputArray[2];
        console.log("hit");
      }

These are the same strings right????? am i crazy???

<string>channel.id doesn't actually make it a string, what is typeof channel.id?

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 1:57 AM

#

idle dew `<string>channel.id` doesn't actually make it a string, what is `typeof channel....

#

Huh

#

typeof id?
Possibly this:

new String("x") === "x"
// => false

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:01 AM

#

i guess ill just do that yeah

#

okay so for this code

#

const inputArray = <number[]>data;
    
    const ents = inputQuery(world);
    for (let i = 0; i < ents.length; i++) {
      const eid = ents[i];
      // decode id
      const id : string = decoder.decode(ClientComponent.string[eid]);
      console.log("id:", id);
      console.log("channelId", channel.id);
      if(id === new String(channel.id))
      {
        // decode input
        InputComponent.x[eid] = inputArray[1];
        InputComponent.y[eid] = inputArray[2];
        console.log("hit");
      }
    }

#

hit still never gets called

idle dew Aug 22, 2024, 2:04 AM

#

That will always be false

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:04 AM

#

what what

idle dew Aug 22, 2024, 2:04 AM

#

new String("x") === "x" will always be false

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:04 AM

#

._.

idle dew Aug 22, 2024, 2:05 AM

#

I suspect decoder.decode might return new String(something), which is why I asked about typeof id, if that's "object", that's probably what it is

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:06 AM

#

try:

(id.toString() === channel.id.toString())

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:06 AM

#

oh no, it was type of string

idle dew Aug 22, 2024, 2:06 AM

#

Does one of those strings have whitespace then?

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:07 AM

#

uh, guess i can try to strip them

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:07 AM

#

yeah

frank grail Aug 22, 2024, 2:07 AM

#

just attach a debugger at this point instead of trying random logs

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:08 AM

#

nope didnt work

#

if(id.trim() === channel.id.trim())

#

okay dumb question, how od i do that with vscode

#

im using vite and turborepo

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:10 AM

#

I want to know too 🙂

frank grail Aug 22, 2024, 2:11 AM

#

you run node scripts via vite?

#

isnt it for frontend

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:11 AM

#

i think? im using turborepo

idle dew Aug 22, 2024, 2:11 AM

#

https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/editor/debugging#_launch-configurations

#

My favorite config is:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Attach",
            "port": 9229,
            "request": "attach",
            "internalConsoleOptions": "openOnSessionStart",
            "skipFiles": ["<node_internals>/**"],
            "type": "node",
            "sourceMaps": true
        }
    ]
}

Can run your app with node --inspect-brk some/file.js then add a breakpoint somewhere

#

uh

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:14 AM

#

You could just iterate over the 2 strings and compare each character, and also compare length. Might tell you something

#

Will probably just show a match though lol

idle dew Aug 22, 2024, 2:14 AM

#

Figuring out how to get a debugger working is well worth the time

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:14 AM

#

sure

idle dew Aug 22, 2024, 2:15 AM

#

Node can't run TS directly, you can probably use whatever you use to normally run your app and pass --inspect-brk to it before the file to run

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:15 AM

#

kk

idle dew Aug 22, 2024, 2:15 AM

#

probably I haven't used anything that you've mentioned

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:16 AM

#

Vites does very complex stuff

#

The node packages all get rebuilt into ESM, there is ES module reloading accomplished somewhere

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:17 AM

#

yeah okay i dont want to do this right now

Stack Overflow

Is there a way to debug code in VsCode initiated with Vite?

My dev team configured a Node.js project with TypeScript to use Vite as dev server, using the npm script panel of VsCode.
Is there a way to attach the debugger into this Vite server so we can debug...

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:17 AM

#

thats another can of worms

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:17 AM

#

maybe

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:17 AM

#

will do this after i figure out what the hell is going on with this string

frank grail Aug 22, 2024, 2:18 AM

#

could it be that one of the InputComponent.x[eid] = inputArray[1]; lines throws and is silently caught?

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:18 AM

#

Seems you should be able to make it work with vite

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:18 AM

#

nope

#

that worked before

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:19 AM

#

Is it code that can be put on playground or reproduced with a small repro?

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:20 AM

#

    
    const ents = inputQuery(world);
    for (let i = 0; i < ents.length; i++) {
      const eid = ents[i];
      // decode id
      const id : string = decoder.decode(ClientComponent.string[eid]);
      console.log("id:", id, "length", id.length);
      console.log("channelId", channel.id, "length", id.length);
      if(id.length === channel.id.length)
      {
        console.log("hit");
        // decode input
        InputComponent.x[eid] = inputArray[1];
        InputComponent.y[eid] = inputArray[2];
      }
    }```

i dont fuckin know anymore

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:20 AM

#

boreal flame Is it code that can be put on playground or reproduced with a small repro?

also sadly no

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:23 AM

#

function comp(a: string, b: string) {
  if (a.length != b.length) throw new Error('length not equal')
  for (let i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {

  }
}

frank grail Aug 22, 2024, 2:24 AM

#

console.log("id:", id, "length", id.length);
console.log("channelId", channel.id, "length", id.length);

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:24 AM

#

It will be really interesting if you can do that and it says it is OK

frank grail Aug 22, 2024, 2:24 AM

#

you log id length 2x

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:24 AM

#

yes

#

oh my christ

running this

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:25 AM

you got 32?

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:26 AM

#

non standard white space chars?

frank grail Aug 22, 2024, 2:26 AM

#

bet \u200b

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:26 AM

#

.charCodeAt(0)

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:28 AM

#

YEAHHHHHH

#

// decode id
const id : string = decoder.decode(ClientComponent.string[eid]).substring(0, channel.id.length);

#

this is the fix

frank grail Aug 22, 2024, 2:28 AM

#

*workaround

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:28 AM

#

I think you should find what what the chars are with .charCodeAt(i) and find out where they came from

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:32 AM

#

gameserver:dev: char: 0
gameserver:dev: char: 0

#

i guess char code 0?

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:32 AM

#

are you sure you used the right index?

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:33 AM

#

no its probably the way i encoded it

#

const encoder = new TextEncoder();
ClientComponent.string[eid].set(encoder.encode(channelId));

#

const maxStringLength = 32;
export const ClientComponent = defineComponent({ string: [Types.ui8, maxStringLength] });

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:33 AM

#

well I don't know

open hollow Aug 22, 2024, 2:38 AM

#

You could use something like this to print every char code, do this with both strings and you should definitely be able to see where they're different.

const debugString = (str: string) => {
    console.log(str.split("").map(x => x.charCodeAt(0)))
}

#

For VSCode debugging - you can open a "Javascript Debug Terminal" and anything you launch from that terminal VSCode will hook the debugger into. It's pretty magical.

frank grail Aug 22, 2024, 2:39 AM

#

nvm just tried debugging and unfortunately that also hides some characters
but at least it would allow copying where you'd see it

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:41 AM

#

is this something like an array with empty spaces that is concatenated into a string?

yeah

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:42 AM

#

hmmm

#

well I guess that's it

#

0 is the Null character apparently

#

is that the string terminator used in C?

brittle arch Aug 22, 2024, 2:44 AM

#

no idea, its reading from a typed array

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:44 AM

#

In C, strings (character arrays) are terminated by null character '\0' - character with value zero. In ASCII, the NUL control code has value 0 (0x00).25 Dec 2022

frank grail Aug 22, 2024, 2:45 AM

could that be a fixed length and not max?

where it pads everything to 32

boreal flame Aug 22, 2024, 2:46 AM

that's what it is doing yeah

I'm pretty confident anyhow
