Hello,

I had posted a while back on the Live API where I am getting a "jsliveapi: get path: error calculating the path".
Here is the minimum code to get the error:

NewObject = new LiveAPI(this.patcher, null, "live_set","tracks", 0 ,"mixer_device", "panning");
post("\n=== NewObject.path: ",NewObject.path);

The path comes back as:
js: === NewObject.path: "live_set tracks 0 mixer_device"

Other things I've tried:
1) just sending in the string "live_set tracks 0 mixer_device panning"
2) using the goto function
In both cases I get the same error.

Previously I was sent a nice bit of code that shows this workig well with the live.path coupled with the live.observer but I can't seem to get the same thing to work in javascript via the LiveAPI.

Any thoughts and help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Brett

Hello,

While looking for a diffrent answer I ran across this link:
http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=130558

Code: Select all

function mixer_nav()

{
   var firstTrackMixer = new LiveAPI(this.patcher, null, ["live_set","tracks",0,"mixer_device"]);

   firstTrackMixer.goto("volume");
   post(firstTrackMixer.get("value"));
   firstTrackMixer.goto("up");
   post(firstTrackMixer.path);

}

The interesting this to me is that when I added this to my code I added one line to print out the path after do the "goto" without the full path and you get the error "jsliveapi: get path: error calculating the path" --- but, in this case you still get the value.

Thanks,
Brett
