Error received when selecting and unhiding a track.

System Information

SoundFlow 5.2.2

OS: darwin 21.6.0

ProductName: macOS
ProductVersion: 12.6
BuildVersion: 21G115

Steps to Reproduce

Have a track named " _st_06_HI_ARPS" present and hidden (in my case it is also within a folder track),
Run the following code:

sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: [" _st_06_HI_ARPS"], deselectOthers: true });

Receive the following error in log:

<< Command: -- Workspace [user:cldav56zg00006p10fry8qf84:cldkjdllg0000td106m00l1af]

Expected Result

Simply select/unhide the track and not throw an error.

Actual Result

The individual track is selected/unhidden but I receive an error.

Workaround

Unfortunately not.

Hi @Eric_Huergo,

Was there a thread where you were discussing this issue with @raphaelsepulveda? It might be useful for context.

Rock on!

Never mind... I found it

Select Tracks that are located between two defined tracks #post-15
Oh no. This seems to be an issue with the trackSelectByName() function. Yes, the normal behavior would be for it to unhide the track and then select it. This is all handled by that function. It waits for the track to appear before moving on but, for ...

Hi @Eric_Huergo,

As @raphaelsepulveda mentioned in the thread, a screen recording of it failing would be great. :-)

  Will do. Might it be better to provide a screen recording of just the
  
  sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: [" _st_06_HI_ARPS"], deselectOthers: true });
  
  failing, or might it be better to show it in the context of the script I'm trying to make work:
  
  /** @param {{ trackA: string, trackB: string, includeTargetTracks?: boolean, includeHidden?: boolean }} args */ function selectTracksBetween({ trackA, trackB, includeTargetTracks = false, includeHidden = false }) { function getTrackIndex(trackName) { const trackIndex = allTrackNames.indexOf(trackName); if (trackIndex === -1) throw `${trackName} not found in session`; return trackIndex; } sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow(); sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.invalidate(); const allTrackNames = includeHidden ? sf.ui.proTools.trackNames : sf.ui.proTools.visibleTrackNames; const trackIndexes = [trackA, trackB] .map(getTrackIndex) .sort((a, b) => a - b); trackIndexes[+includeTargetTracks]++; const trackRange = allTrackNames.slice(...trackIndexes); sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: trackRange, deselectOthers: true }); } selectTracksBetween({ trackA: "Audio 1", trackB: "Audio 15", includeTargetTracks: true, includeHidden: true });

  Just this one so it narrows it down :-)
  
  sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: [" _st_06_HI_ARPS"], deselectOthers: true });

  Out of curiosity do you see the same error if you run this script?
  
  sf.ui.proTools.trackGetByName({ name: " _st_06_HI_ARPS", makeVisible: true }); sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.invalidate(); sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: [" _st_06_HI_ARPS"], deselectOthers: true });

  Working on getting that video but when I ran that code just now I got the following:
  
  Could not make track visible ( -- Workspace: Line 5) Track ' _st_06_HI_ARPS' did not show up after several attempts

  Oh my God, I think of I'm just fried from having been working on this for quite some time.
  
  I just realized while recording the video that I made a pretty dumb mistake - At some point whilst working on the script a space made it's way into the name of the track. Feel a little bit dumb that only now did I catch it.
  
  My apologies but also LOL.
  
  Thanks for the support - that function seems to be running fine now.

@Kitch, I found the issue!—it’s track numbers when set up in a particular way.

How to repro:

Make sure Track numbers are showing: View > Track Number

Setup > Preferences > Display tab > Track Position Numbers Stay with Hidden Tracks (Uncheck)

Create a session with a few audio tracks. Hide one of them.

Run log(sf.ui.proTools.trackNames);, you will notice that the hidden track now has a space in front of the name that is not present in the actual track name (ie. "Audio 1" when hidden logs " Audio 1".

Run

sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: ["HIDDEN TRACK NAME HERE"], deselectOthers: true });

Nothing happens, most likely due to a track name mismatch. In Eric's case, he did get a thrown error but I was not able to get that happening on a simplified repro. I do think the source of the issue is the same.
