Re: tickfix debug mode?
By: Rampage to digital man on Sun May 03 2020 09:15 am
is there a tickfix.js debug mode? if so, where can i enable it?
There is a '-debug' option, but it doesn't do what you think it does. Right now, all it does is prevent tickfix from deleting the requests after they've been processed. I'll probably rename that option.
i ask because i'm seeing tickfix generated messages with the following style errors being reported to the sender of the tickfix request...
!Unrecognized area-tag or command on 1:3634/12: '+BACKBONE '
!Unrecognized area-tag or command on 1:3634/12: '+BBSLISTS '
!Unrecognized area-tag or command on 1:3634/12: '+MYSTIC '
!Unrecognized area-tag or command on 1:3634/12: '+MYS_MOD '
Well those messages were enough for me to see exactly what the problem was. I'm glad I put quotes around those lines so I could see the trailing white-space characters! :-)
but i'm unable to find/see the original message that tickfix is responding to... it is not in my mail base or in my ftn/netmail directory as a msg file so i have no way to look at it and see what the sender may have done to cause these problem reports...
Did smbutil run since that request was processed? If not, I would expect the message to still be in the mail base with a DELETE attribute set.
the above areas do exist in my file base and in my tickit.ini file...
Gotcha.
