3. Possible issue with getUniqueName

Possible issue with getUniqueName


  • I just got an email notification with this error from shard0. My room looks like it's still functioning normally, so I think the error was harmless.

            name = require('./names').getUniqueName(i => {
                                  ^
TypeError: require(...).getUniqueName is not a function
    at .createCreep (evalmachine.<anonymous>:1:72)
    at module.exports (world:180:27)
    at main:6:1
    at sigintHandlersWrap (vm.js:32:31)
    at sigintHandlersWrap (vm.js:73:12)

    Does anyone know why getUniqueName would stop being a function for a tick?

    isn't that "getUniqueName" belonging to your code ?


  • No, getUniqueName isn't in my code.

    This is the line in my world module that referenced in the traceback.

    var r = spawn.createCreep([TOUGH, RANGED_ATTACK, RANGED_ATTACK, MOVE], undefined, {role: 'pewpew'});

    Since I don't give that creep a name, the createCreep function generates one automatically.


  • I've seen that a few times. It has always resolved itself after a few ticks.


  • Same for me.
