    Hey all,

     

    Ive been watching a few of my bots recently and for some reason they will do this weird thing where it goes back and forward hovering over the inventory items, i was just wondering if anyone had encountered this before and if so what caused it?

    Im guessing its due to scanning the inventory for an item in my loop? if this is the case what is the best practice for handling this? i was hoping to avoid having to use hashmaps to track the current inventory contents.

     

    Example:

    I havent seen this happening, what code are you using

    Its private script doing some Quests, been doing some debugging this morning and it looks like its caused by the below line (presumable due to checking the name)

    getInventory().contains("Coins") || getInventory().contains((i) -> i.getName().equals("Clay") && i.isNoted())

     

    Ill try this with ID implementation instead of Strings and see if that resolves, i remember seeing this issue on startup on another script a while back (would hover over all items in inventory once on startup) but i cannot remember what caused it

    UPDATE:

    Found the issue, turns out im just a moron, this was being called in a submethod on loop.  

    return getInventory().get(item -> item != null && item.getName().contains("pickaxe") && this.canUsePick(item.getName())) != null;

    Looks like by calling get it will hover the item? 

     

    Changed to this and it doesnt happen anymore:

    return getInventory().contains((i) -> i.getName().contains("pickaxe") && this.canUsePick(i.getName()));

    Using Inventory get() doesn't hover anything. Not sure what it could be doing that in your case. Also, I would null check the contains item before doing any of those checks

    I isolated it to just that line of code and its causing it... ill build a reproduction script later.

    Why do i have to check null within the filter? if there isnt any items in the inventory it would be an empty filter loop no? by casting to i i know its not null

    Items can be null if they dont exist (kinda weird but yea)

    Thats super odd, i was under the impression Contains returned an Interface? in which case i shouldnt need to check for null?

    The 2 methods will return default ID (0) or String ("") from what i read here:

    https://dreambot.org/javadocs/org/dreambot/api/wrappers/interactive/Identifiable.html

    getInventory().contains() returns a Boolean

    Identifiable is an interface which all items have, but they can be null themselves. Example: Empty inventory slots are null Items

    Yeah i get that but why would getInventory return a list of 28 null Items? would it not just return an empty list? so when it comes to the contains loop if the underlying list is empty its not going to null?

    Just trying to figure out whats going on behind the scenes of the API, as i dont have null checks in any of the Filter implementations and i havent seen a NPE yet (trying to work out if this is a fire waiting to start or not)

    Coming from a Golang background and havent touched Java professionally for 6 years so getting back up to scratch!
