Serial device don not get re-initialized after Script Reset (F11)

[VSDomotics]

When I press F11 I get error messages because the serial devices are not reinitialized.

I get this error:


ScriptReset Start

The misssing 'New' function is in this code (serial.lua)


serial = {
Open = function (port)
local x = transport.New(transport.constants.transport.SERIAL )
x:Open(port)

local z = getmetatable ( x )
z.UpdateStatus = function () end

x:UpdateStatus ()
return x
end,

EnumUsingQueryDosDevice = function (...)
return transport.support.serial.EnumUsingQueryDosDevice(u npack(arg))
end,
EnumUsingCreateFile = function (...)
return transport.support.serial.EnumUsingCreateFile(unpac k(arg))
end,

EnumUsingEnumPorts = function (...)
return transport.support.serial.EnumUsingEnumPorts(unpack (arg))
end,

EnumUsingGetDefaultCommConfig = function (...)
return transport.support.serial.EnumUsingGetDefaultCommCo nfig(unpack(arg))
end,
}



It looks this function is intialized too late after Script Reset. When I look in the variable inspector however, the function is now available (but probably too late).

Sounds like you may have a global table transport that's declared somewhere in your code elsewhere.

Try adding a line


table.print(transport)

just before the call to transport.New, and post the results here.
