CCVLint 0.4.5 not compatible with Notepad++ 8.4 32-bit

[RP634]

Trying to add CSVLint 0.4.5 through Plugins Admin fails with the following message:

Loading CreateLexer function failed.
CSVLint.dll is not compatible with the current version of Notepad++

Notepad++ version is 8.4 32-bit
OS is Windows 10 20H2 (OS Build 19042.1645)

Thanks for the comment, this is the same as issue #22. It's fixed but not yet automatically available in the current version of Notepad++ (it's updated irregularly).

However, you can manually install the latest version by downloading the new CSVLint version 0.4.5.1 here and then unzip and replace the CSVLint.dll in your .\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\CSVLint\ folder.

In case there are others with the same issue, I'll leave this issue open until the next Notepad++ update is released.

Many thanks for replying so quickly. I suspect I've found a bug in 0.4.5.1.

I used your download link to get CSVLint_x86.zip. I placed the dll in %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Notepad++\plugins\CSVLint. I opened a .txt file.

When I try to apply CSVLint colouring (NPP menu Language > CSVLint), NPP closes immediately.

Here are the messages from the Application event log

That's a bit concerning, thanks for testing the new version like this. I did test the new plugin in Notepad++ 8.4 both 64bit and 32bit by opening some of my test data files and trying some of the options, and simply enabling Syntax Highlighting is the first thing I tried.

I suspect it could be a problem with specific data maybe? I know there are still some weird quirks in the code.

Thanks for the error message, however that doesn't tell me very much, I need to debug this in Visual Studio. If your file doesn't contains any privacy sensitive data, is it possible to send the data file via e-mail? Or alternatively, if you can find the rows that causes the problem then only send those rows. You can backup the data, delete half of all rows and try again, if it still crashes again delete half all rows etc. Or maybe replace all data with dummy data (see my e-mail in the Help/About box).

Also it could be this Windows setting maybe. In Notepad++ when you go to ? -> Debug info what does it say on the line with "Current ANSI codepage"? Is it Current ANSI codepage : 1252 or Current ANSI codepage : 65001?

I've reproduced the error with every file I've tried, all of which were fine with CSVLint 0.4.5 and the previous NPP version. I've emailed a new simple file that also produces the error (it's not specially crafted, as you'll see).

Here's the debug info from NPP

I have the same issue, uninstalled the 32bit, installed 64bit version and installed all my old plugins back.
As soon as I installed CSV Lint it auto closes my Notepad++ without any errors.
As soon as I deleted the CSVLint in plugin directory it works again.
My plugins.
Might not play nice with the NPP..*

This issue was with an older version of the plug-in. In the meantime both Notepad++ and the plugin have been updated a couple of times. I assume the Lexer v5 compatibility issues have been fixed now. If any problems still presist then please open a new issue.
