[Bug Repot] thermometer (progress bar) produces error when trying to change its value (i.e. progress the bar)
Since the 2021 update (21.001.20135), there is an error when using multiple (overlaying) instances of the progress bar with JavaScript. Code that used to work before now generates an error.
The error is:
GeneralError: Operation failed.
Thermometer.value:1:Console undefined:Exec
To reproduce this, run the following code from the console (JavaScript Debugger):
// Define the progress bar (thermometer) as a variable for easy reference
var t = app.thermometer;
// Start a progress bar
t.begin();
// Now start another progress bar
t.begin();
// Now end the top progress bar
t.end();
// Now try to set the incremental value of the progress bar
t.value = 1;
// See the error
