      TZUTC: -0700       MSGID: 55074.sync@1:103/705 2d5f7872       PID: Synchronet 3.21a-Linux master/869dac47e Sep 15 2025 GCC 12.2.0       TID: SBBSecho 3.30-Linux master/88b423313 Sep 29 2025 GCC 12.2.0       COLS: 85       BBSID: FUTURELD       CHRS: CP437 2       FORMAT: flowed       NOTE: Synchronet msgeditor master/869dac47e       Despite the fact that my AVAT-IN event seems to fire without warning, I have       yet to       have received any avatars via the sharing feature. It's possible that based       on the       data I have in my SYNCDATA sub that might be expected behavior, but that is to       also       say I have around 2900 messages in that sub but nearly 2000 messages in a row       spit       out parse errors on JSON data. That's TLDR ahead of time.              I am running this command to rescan the message base for avatars:              `./jsexec avatars.js import=DOVE-SYNCDATA -ptr=0 -all`              The initial parsing of the older messages goes fine, the initial logs (edited       for       brevity) go smoothly until msg #109:              ```       Opening msgbase /sbbs/data/subs/dove-syncdata       Importing msg #1 from Weatherman: parsed 4 avatarssuccess       Importing msg #3 from RickV: parsed 0 avatarssuccess       ...       Importing msg #108 from Vela025: parsed 5 avatarssuccess       Importing msg #109 from Dark Angel: !invalid or missing JSON block, length: 1,       begin: undefined, end: undefined       FAILED       Importing msg #110 from digital man: !invalid or missing JSON block, length: 1,       begin: undefined, end: undefined       ```              That parsing error repeats in my logs all the way until message #1801:              ```       mporting msg #1800 from digital man: !invalid or missing JSON block, length: 1,       begin: undefined, end: undefined       FAILED       Importing msg #1801 from Fercho: !invalid or missing JSON block, length: 1,       begin:       undefined, end: undefined       FAILED       Importing msg #1803 from Nelgin: parsed 14 avatarssuccess       ```              We see a lot of "parsed # avatarsuccess" until we get to message #1955, which       according to logs is a message from me, and an error is thrown (maybe       preventing       .bin files being written to text/avatars at end of process?):              ```       Importing msg #1954 from StingRay: parsed 1 avatarssuccess       !JavaScript /sbbs/exec/load/avatar_lib.js line 70: TypeError: netaddr is       undefined       Importing msg #1955 from HM Derdoc: /sbbs/repo/exec/avatars.js executed in 0.77       seconds       !Module (avatars.js) set exit_code: 1       ```              I'm not sure if the TypeError is from msg #1954 or #1955, but that's where it       bails. I guess I could see if I can get that to fail more gracefully, probably       could, but       I guess if it's a synchronet or dovenet data issue it's probably better to       reach outbefore i implement a hack for it.              Anyone else not seeing any shared avatars lately? (I actually have none, but       I've       only been up and running ~2 months)              thanks,       derdoc              ---        þ Synchronet þ \1g telnet://\1n\1!Gfutureland.today \1c https:/       \1n\1!Cblockbra.in\1n        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 102/401 103/1 17 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187       SEEN-BY: 129/14 153/7715 154/110 218/0 1 215 601 610 700 840 860 880       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 206 317 400 426 428 470 700 705 266/512       SEEN-BY: 280/464 291/111 301/1 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 902/26 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
