Odd error message on a character

[Hirsute]

Having another odd error here. On one of my wife's characters, we get the following error whenever we open the .por file, and any time text is typed in or cleared from a text box:

Invalid tag expression specified for 'findchild'
Location: 'eval' script for Thing 'ioPchPixDs' (Eval Script '#1') near line 12

I've searched around and not found it. Anyone have any ideas?

I get there error too, it is a bug in the script for the "Pouch of Pixie Dust" you should report it as an error here: http://www.wolflair.com/report-pathfinder-bug/

Best thing I can think of is removing the pouch of pixie dust and re-adding it to the character. And making sure that everything is up to date. I myself dont run into an error with the item.

Could either of you maybe upload a "bugged" portfolio to see if it might be related to other sources being active or not active?

[Hirsute]

Ah, that makes sense. Interesting. I've attached a bugged portfolio. I'll remove and re-add and see if that fixes it. I'll also report it as a bug.

The error is definitely in the script

        hero.findchild[BaseSpell,"thingid.spFaerFir1 & Helper.ItemSpell"]

is invalid, it should use an & and not &

and that is used through the script

Don't know what to tell you there Andrew it works just fine for me oddly enough. Even the character sheet provided by Hirsute (besides the 3rd party/custom content I don't have heh)

Also the &amp is most likely not what it is falling over. Seeing I have that entry as well. Either way the only way I could try to help
further now would be if someone could PM me the Eval code you guys have. Seeing it is working 100% on my end. If the code is the same then my last bet would be that 3rd party/custom
material is doing something to it

[AndrewD2]

It's triggering at line 12 because that's where the else statement falls to. Add class levels it triggers earlier. Do you have the newest update from last night?

And needless to say, the bug just needs to get filed.

[Togainu]

Yeah I saw that already and updated my post apparently while you were posting. But more trying to pinpoint it so that we might be able to get Hirsute a working version right now for it. I am fully up to date and tried it on all my machines and it is working fine. As I said the only difference I could think of is third party/custom related stuff at the moment (seeing I ain't using any). Cause I doubt there are differences between the 2 evaluation fields. But just in case I was asking for a pm version of the ones you guys had to check compared to my own.

Just FYI if anyone cares is that &amp; is actually & in XML. Its called an escape character and if the script section is not wrapped in <![CDATA[ ]]> then & needs to be escaped from & to &amp;.

In this case if your seeing &amp; in the editor then most likely <![CDATA[ ]]> is present causing the error.

Yeah I get the same error using the above .por instantly.

Could the ones with the error try a character/portfolio without any third party/custom material. Cause that is the situation I am in and is working just fine.
