"GoFish" not installed error on VFP startup and Check For Updates

[Tamar]

I've just configured a new computer, including installing Thor and GoFish (via Thor). Each time I start VFP or run Thor's Check For Updates, I get this message:

 

---------------------------
GoFish not installed
---------------------------
GoFish is not installed; unable to proceed
---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------

 

In Check For Updates, it happens after dismissing the Thor Update Status dialog.

GoFish is installed; I can open it and search. I've given GoFish a hotkey, but it's not included in Startup Apps and I haven't set up any Popup Menus.

In an email message, Jim Nelson says the error is coming from one of the PRGs in the Thor Tools folder; probably "thor_tool_repository_gotogofish4.prg". I didn't install GoFish 4, so I don't know why that routine is firing.

Any ideas, anyone?

Check the "Startup Tools" tab on the Thor Config screen.

My guess is that something about GF is marked there to start up.

Hi Jim,

(long time no see)

I have exactly the same message "GoFish is not installed unable to proceed". Have learned to ignore and everything works fine, except that from time to time an error message appears "Code is missing" (or something the like) in which case I better log of - restart VFP9SP2 - install Thor again and voila no problem.

After your reply to Tamar about the "GoFish is not installed.." I rechecked the GoFish configuration screen:  nothing about GoFish checked.

Do you have any other ideas?

F.y.i. I am working with GoFish4 version 5.0.163 2/12/2017

Greetings,

Koen

If you are interested in pursuing this, I suggest that you pursue the following ... 

There are a few PRGs in the Thor Tools menu that create that error message.  Put a stop in them at the call to MessageBox.  The execution stack at that time should provide information about what is calling them.  This might be all you need.

Jim,

'a few programs in the Thor Tools menu'  do you have any specific file in mind?

Usually I do have some difficulties debugging Thor files since the frequently used execscript() to perform a procedure, debugger does not like that.

Regards,

Koen

Sorry.

In the Thor Tools folder.

Bingo. I had "Replace code window context menu items" checked. Unchecked that and all is well.

Of course, I'd like to have that option checked. Guess I (or someone else) will have to fix that code, which must depend on GoFish 4. This also explains why I didn't have this problem on my old machine. I have GoFish 4 installed there.

Jim,

100% correct, the item should be unchecked an no more ridiculous warning.

Thanks a lot.

Jim,

do you also have such an elegant solution for my error message "Variable CLASS is not found"  which is even more annoying as I found only to solve it by quitting VFP and reactivating Thor and my actual project.

Regards,

Koen

P.S.  No I dont have a clue or pattern when this one is activated, it gets activated on for me random moments. Would love to make the app to stop on this message to find the reason.
