3. Local Server Bugs

Local Server Bugs


  • Number one: when I first installed the server, I would get this error repeatedly in the server GUI. Restarting Steam fixed it, but it's a bit confusing why that should be so. A better error message than "initAPI() failure" would probably be sufficient.

    Loading mods from "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Screeps\server\mods\mods.json"
    Connecting to storage
    Starting CLI server
    STEAM_KEY environment variable is not found, trying to connect to local Steam client
    Error: greenworks.initAPI() failure

     at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:98:9)

     

    Number two: periodically, I see these errors. Best guess: sometimes the loader doesn't load the entire source file before trying to execute it.

    [7:32:29 PM]Script execution has been terminated: Unknown system error

  • I'm also getting this bug:

    STEAM_KEY environment variable is not found

    Restarting doesn't seem to help in my case. Running on Linux


  • Mine might be a bit different, here is the full output:

  • I do have the steam client running by the way
