BlackBox Framework Center

Attempting to open blackbox-1.7.1-b1.951
caused the following error message

Controllers.pick not found (imported from Containers)

Doug, I cannot reproduce the error.
There may be an inconsistency on your side.
Are you starting blackbox.exe with the /USE option?

yes

Doug, check if you have a privately modified Containers module in your /USE directory.

I do not have a Containers nor Controllers module in my /USE directory.

If you start without the /USE option it should work.
So, there must be something in your /USE dir.

Let's review the error message in detail:
"Controllers.pick not found (imported from Containers)"

This says that Controllers.pick is not found. Controllers.pick is new in blackbox-1.7.1-b1.951.
If it is not found there must be an older version of Controllers.ocf in the /USE dir.
Note that it is possible that you recompiled modules without modifying them.
Check the Code and System/Code directories for .ocf files.

In the/USE Code directory I find Controllers.ocf
I assume that is the cause of the problem.
Since reporting the problem I have reverted to BB1.7 stable because
Windows Defender quarantined blackbox-1.7.1.b1.951
So when I get up the energy to reinstall blackbox-1.7.1.b1.951 and set Windows Defender to
treat that as an exception then I can test whether deleting Controllers.ocf solves the problem.
Thanks!

I am happy to report that deletion of the Code/Controllers.ocf file does indeed allow me to
run the .951 version.

Thank you very much Josef.
