[2.14a] Aliases not parsing?
 
Opened my session and my aliases weren't parsing. The first fault was mine, in which I enabled the class (the class is now enabled).

I retried the same aliases, yet, the module and classes were enabled properly, and repeated enabling/disabling didn't change matters.

I finally end up hitting the Parser button (next to command prompt) and did a full revolution (disabling it and then reenabling it) and the aliases finally worked.

It's probably a fluke bug that appeared, and there's probably no way for me to replicate this.

If you can please do...

I ran across this a few versions ago and am sad to say I ended up using this work around.

I made a macro that sent a #show {Aliases should be working now...}

This made the aliases all suddenly and magically start working.

Aliases have had their scoping changed around quite a bit since then though and I've not had this happen to me since the changes.

My suggestion would be to start with making a similar macro and then if aliases stop working for you again hit the macro and report back if this caused them to work again like it did for me.

This happened to me again just now, aliases weren't working at all.

I made the following macro:
Code:

<macro key="f3" id="569">
  <value>say do I work?</value>
</macro>


but that didn't change anything. I went back to the old press the parsing button to get them working.

Before you click the Parse button in the command line, check the Parse option in the Options menu and see if it checked or not. The command line button might not be updating itself properly if Parse is disabled, but the menu option should be more reliable to see if the Parse option is really on or off.

Unfortunately, I don't see any way to make this value unless you are accidentally hitting Ctrl-R to toggle parsing and the command line icon just isn't updating.
