NT8.0.4.0 introduced serious problem

[jjhou]

I wrote a indicator running on multi-charts saved as a workspace, it works well all the way, until I update from 8.0.3.1 to 8.0.4.0.

The new version sometimes show errors in the log tab:

"A hosted indicator tried to load additional data. All data must first be loaded by the hosting NinjaScript in its configure state"

,
and my indicator does not work. I've never met this problem since NT8 beta with the same indicator.

So I tried to debug it: add more log print, comment block of code step by step, finally I really found nothing suspicious but it still happened. sometimes it happens quite frequently, sometimes it only happens once when I launch NT again and again over 10 times.

So I suspect it's introduced by the new version only, and I switched back to 8.0.3.1, as expected, it works well again!

Well, you may ask:
does your indicator load additional data?
does the indicator call any other indicators?
The answer is NO, absolutely NO!
And I can tell you when I debug I even comment all the OnBarUpdate and OnRender code, but it still didn't solve the problem.

I also found that the forum has similar reports like:

The another cause I think maybe it's because the workspace? every time the error is after a log "Restoring workspace xxx", so maybe there's something wrong or incompatible in the workspace? My workspace is exported by previous version then imported into new version.

I am sorry I can't provide my indicator here, sorry.

NT 8.0.5.0 was released today. It's appears to be stable.

They really won't accept complaints from 8.0.4.0 anymore unless you can reproduce in 8.0.5.0.

8.0.5.0:

hello, take a look at this thread too which may give some information relating to your indicator and what it is doing

It seems that the problem disappear in 8.0.5.0, so it must be something wrong with 8.0.4.0
