[1.43] os.getComputerLabel () returns nil at startup

I have a turtle with a label set, and it uses that label as hostname (it is an API global variable)
When it starts up automatically it doesn't set hostname to its label.
startup script basically shell.run's my program. If I start the program manually, hostname will be set correctly.

Also, I should say that hostname is set using a simple API function:

function setHostname (host)
    hostname = host
end

The setHostname function is pretty unnecessary, but you could do with

if os.getComputerLabel() ~= "TheNameYouWant" then
  os.setComputerLabel("TheNameYouWant")
end

And so you wont have a automatic way of setting the label, kinda…

Well, I don't want hostname to always be the computer label. It is for current project only… And I probably will use that API again. It is very smal, but…
Well, if it is a bug, I think it should be fixed. If it is not - I'll find other way to make what I want to.

It works fine in startup - just tested. Must be an error in your code somewhere.

I tested it with the very simple print(os.getComputerLabel()) in a startup file.

And what if it is in another script? And startup uses shell.run () to run that script?

Then it will work fine? The chances are that it is something in your code. It doesn't even matter where the code is being called from.

As I said when I run that script manually it works. I'll post my code later, since I don't have access to it now.

Oh, I'm sorry, it works on startup, but it fails if I load my SSP world, and computer starts up automatically and autostarts the program via shell.run(). THEN os.getComputerLabel() returns nil.

Aha! I tried it out, and got the same issue - however, tried in my dev build and works fine :P/>/> Go figure! So, fixed in next version.

Yay! Thank you ^_~
