#7 RUN "{file}" if file is missing can freeze bwBASIC

Closed
opened 2 years ago by ChipMaster · 1 comments

I stumbled into this. Using the RUN "{file}" format of the command will hang if the {file} is missing. Then it seems its unable to do anything but hang with any additional RUNs, even if its the plain RUN command. It looks like there may be other errors (like parsing errors) that leave the environment in a broken state.

I stumbled into this late at night so I need to go back and re-test to see what the exact conditions and damages are. But I don’t want this blunder forgotten so I’m filing prematurely.

Confirmed RUN "missing_file.bas" hangs and ^C leaves the system in a broken state. Seems like the only way to fix it is to exit and restart.
