How to debug "Could not construct instance of botname"?

[jim87]

Hello!

Today I started working again on a bot I never finished, but big surprise? The new HB started throwing an error:

[20:29:14:229] Could not construct instance of JimmyBuddy! Exception was thrown. Exception:
[20:29:14:230] Riferimento a un oggetto non impostato su un'istanza di oggetto.

And the italian string means "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"... no line pointing, not an error when I try to build the dll manually inside VisualStudio!

Any hint? It was working on the previous version of HB, I changed nothing untill then. Thanks

Post your log, as it's hard to see without log/code.

That's all of it, nothing else about the bot. In any case here it is.

By the way I've noticed that the Singular's error shows up only when the bot is being compiled...

I've noticed that this problem is not present whenever I have a custom combat profile other than Singular, otherwise no errors popup... thus it seems that in somehow way the HB requires the combat profile before it's ready. It's strange though, as I call it via a BehaviorTree... may it be due to the legacy Combat() method I call in case the new one is not present?

            #region Combat
            // I'm in combat and I'm not mounted
            // (i.e. I have to fight)
            new Decorator(c => Me.Combat && !Me.Mounted,
                new PrioritySelector(
                    // Equip weapons, if any
                    new DecoratorEquipWeapons(new ActionEquipWeapons()),
                    // Behavior Tree-based combat routine
                    new Decorator(c => RoutineManager.Current.CombatBehavior != null,
                        new PrioritySelector(
                            RoutineManager.Current.CombatBehavior,
                            new Action(delegate { return RunStatus.Success; })
                        )
                    ),
                    // Legacy Combat() method
                    new Action(ret => RoutineManager.Current.Combat())
                )
            ),
            #endregion
