script.update stops when main ui window in an lua app is closed or minimized?

[Halvhjearne]

idk if this is the intended behavior, but if i close the main ui window in an lua app i made, script.update stops running, if app is opened again script.update will start running again.

if i close the main window and then restart the game, script.update will run from the beginning without the main window open.

if this is intended, is there then some way to prevent it, so that script.update will still run, after main ui window is closed?

pretty sure that's related to your LAZY mode in the app manifest

[CORE]
LAZY = FULL  ; Possible values:
; • NONE (or 0, default value): load script when Assetto Corsa is loading, run it until it’s closed
; • PARTIAL (or 1): load script only when app is first opened, after that keep it running until Assetto Corsa is closed.
; • FULL (or 2): load script when app is opened, when all windows are closed, unload an app completely.
; Note: when app unloads, all of its internal state (apart from stored with things like `ac.connect()`, 
; `ac.storage()` or `ac.store()`) is completely lost. That’s why sometimes it might make more sense to
; use partial laziness and unload app manually on closing (for example, if your app has manual saving
; and a user closed or hid window without saving).

@Blumlaut i already tried that, it makes no difference what it is set to

edit: ... also even if i did not set that, it seems to me that the default is to start when ac loads and end when ac is closed

[Blumlaut]

i'm not at my PC right now so cant really test, what exactly happens if you add

[CORE]
LAZY = NONE

to your manifest then?

im running FULL on my own app and it seems to work as intended, for reference, here is it's full manifest:

[ABOUT]
NAME = Tork Display
AUTHOR = Blumlaut
VERSION = 0xDEADBEEF
DESCRIPTION = Displays live torque

[CORE]
LAZY = FULL

[WINDOW_...]
ID = main
NAME = Tork Display
ICON = icon.png
FUNCTION_MAIN = windowMain
FLAGS = FIXED_SIZE, SETTINGS
FUNCTION_SETTINGS = windowSettings
SIZE = 295, 320

@Blumlaut i know how its supposed to work ... i litterally tried all values and there is no difference
in your script.update put a line that sends a message or something constantly and try to close your app main window ...

coming back to this after a while, confirmed bug, tried it myself and can reproduce, LAZY = NONE / LAZY = 0 has no effect

@Blumlaut this has already been confirmed and is/will be fixed next version of csp, i have a preview version where it is already fixed.

[Blumlaut]
