Metadata

Reported by: jazz900G from Discord

SMF version: 2.33.26

Notes

While looking for a fix to my problem I've found like 2 other people on Reddit and the HITMAN forums with the same or similar issue with no solution to be found. I'll put the error log here so it might help others looking for one.

This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). The promise rejected with the reason:
TypeError: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received undefined
at deploy (C:\snapshot\simple-mod-framework\compiled\deploy.js)
at async doTheThing (C:\snapshot\simple-mod-framework\compiled\main.js)

I tried "Realistic AI" mod to test the program out and am met with this error. I tried other random mods from Nexus ("47's Stinky Shoe" & "Any NPC replaces Any Suit") with the same result. Strangely enough the only mod that actually applied properly was "Lighting Ultimate" by musicalmushr00m. From what I gather from the forums this error seems to be vague and unspecific? Could it have something to do with the fact that I have the game installed on an external hard disk with a lengthy path file? I can't move it to my main disk because it's full to the brim. Whatever the case, I've tried every other solution I could find on the internet, it would really make my day if you could help find, at least, the cause of the problem.

Thank you for your service!

Windows has this befuddling backwards compatibility issue of a path being a maximum length of 256 characters. Might be that.
Otherwise, what file system is the partition on your external drive? NTFS, exFAT, FAT32?

It is in NTFS file system.

Alright I fixed it! As it turns out it was the file path length that was causing it some errors. I think this issue can be closed now. Thank you for helping! :D
