Bug - Not A Bug prefref not showing results (20582 on osx)

[DanceCommander6]

Hello,

I'm on the most current release of Mafia at the time of writing this, and trying to prefref seems to not work.



This is not the case in my prior build, 20226:



Some assistance please? Sorry about this.

I can't reproduce this. Also I don't recognize that interface for prefref, is there some setting that makes it render not-in-a-table?

I cannot reproduce on Windows. I see it in a table. Any chance this is a side effect of some of the Look & Feel work?

There was a prefref alias floating around for several years (written by jasonharper) before I added it as a CLI command, and that is its output format. (I renamed the alias to pref for myself, I often like that look better than the prefref output format I added...) I assume that an alias overrides a CLI command of the same name.

This is the same bug report as https://kolmafia.us/threads/can-no-...tained-in-the-kolmafia-jar.25704/#post-160637 where internal data files require prepending data/ to access them with file_to_map() now.

So, I guess this is Not A Bug. DanceCommander6, you'll want to do

alias prefref => ashq record r{string d ; }; r[string,string]m; file_to_map("data/defaults.txt",m); foreach t,p,d in m if(to_lower_case(p).contains_text(to_lower_case($string[%%]))) print_html(p+" ("+t+", now '"+get_property(p)+"', default "+d.d+")")

to keep using that alias, or

unalias prefref

to use the built-in command.

Confirmed resolved, thanks a lot! Apparently falling progressively out of touch with the game doesn't mix well with various cutting edge technology from years ago
