Try to lock interface while it is already locked !

[Lymon Flowers]

When going through a replay of my game (Downforce), I regularly get error messages in the javascript console and the interface blocks untill I click on the "next move". The error message is: Try to lock interface while it is already locked !

It happens at distinct places like move like move #137 of table https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=92381834

My guess: the onEnteringState method of my class does ajax calls while the interface is still locked from a previous one. Any idea on this? It looks like a studio bug, but maybe I am doing something wrong.

The full error stack:

Excerpt of my method:

Code: Select all

onEnteringState: function( stateName, args )
{
    switch( stateName )
    {
	// [...]
	case 'moveCar':
	// [...]
	if ( movements . color == 'Joker' )
	{
	    this.ajaxcall( this.gameUrl + "chooseJokerColor.html", { lock: true }, this, function( result ) { } );
	    return;
	}
	// [...]
    }
}

Just curious : why would you need an AJAX call when entering a state ?

[Lymon Flowers]

I realize that what is achieved there could be much more efficiently done server-side, maybe that is the answer

[Benoit314]

Yes, I would think that a request sent to the server without any user input would be better entirely on the server-side.

That could be why you got that error, because maybe (I'm just assuming) the interface is locked when buttons are updating and get unlocked only after.
