TSE: EditEnvVars.zip: Error
knud van eeden
Carlo Hogeveen
I do not understand your point.
This is about the EditEnvVars extension, which lets us use environment variables like %TMP% in TSE’s File Open prompt.
https://ecarlo.nl/tse/ToolsAndExtensions.html#EditEnvVars
Its compatibility statement and documentation claims that it needs TSE v4.50.13 upwards.
It is therefore not expected to work in TSE 4.50 rc24, which is older.
As I often do, I even made the compiler give a nice, relevant error when someone accidentally tries to install EditEnvVars with an older TSE version.
Your information therefore seems to be that that is working.
I do not understand your point.

1. -Thus since v4.41.44 this 'INTERNAL_VERSION' is known.
2. -Thus 4.50 RC 13 is newer than 4.41.44 thus should know this INTERNAL_VERSION
and not cause a syntax error.
3. -But the result of running EditEnvVars.s in e.g. 4.50 RC 24 results thus a 'syntax error'.
(see in the screenshot the error line at the bottom of the screenshot: 'Error 2333 (line 67 column 3) syntax error')
In other words an error with the syntax.
Expected was e.g. not a syntax error, but a Warn() or Message() or similar.
4. -This is the culprit
#if INTERNAL_VERSION < 12420
Editor is too old. You need at least TSE v4.50.13 (27 Sep 2025).
#endif
5. And Line 67 column 3 starts thus at the begin of 'Editor is too old. You need at least TSE v4.50.13 (27 Sep 2025).'
6. -So something is wrong (syntax) with that line.
7. -Insteat trying something like using a usual IF ... ENDIF works (=compiles) also in 4.50 RC24
IF ( INTERNAL_VERSION < 12420 )
Warn( "Editor is too old. You need at least TSE v4.50.13 (27 Sep 2025)." )
ENDIF
8. -But doing some testing to get it compiled in 4.50 RC24
there are probably too many differences (e.g. new keywords) in newer 4.50.13 compared
with the older 4.50 RC24 that it will not compile at other locations anyhow.
9. -Conclusion: generating a syntax error in e.g. 4.50 RC24 is probably the best workaround
otherwise the syntax errors will always pop up at other locations in the program
anyhow and it can not compile thus.
10. -So a syntax error is kind of expected at line 67 column 3 and the best workaround.
with friendly greetings
