[BUG] Client side scripts randomly not working

[NicusorN5]

Description
Uncompiled client side main.nut scripts dont work.

Reproducible
Sometimes.

What you were doing when the bug happened
Starting my script to 0. I got the following error:

Code Select Expand

MSG: Main Script line = (1) column = (1) : error expression expected

Warning in CScripting::Initialise: Loading main script file failed with error message: expression expected.
Warning in CScripting::Initialise: Attempting manual closure load.
Error in CScripting::Initialise: Loading bytecode stream failed with error message: invalid stream.

The code was the following:

Code Select Expand

::test <- "Test Message";

function Script::ScriptLoad()
{
    Console.Print(test);
}
I tried recreating the script file, rewriting the code, changing the line endings from \n to \r\n .Nothing worked.

What you think caused the bug
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Client side maybe thinking the uncompiled script is maybe a compiled one?

WORKAROUND
Compile the script using the Squirreil Compiler. Fixed the issue, but still reporting because this is an awful bug.

Did you try to use it like this?

Code Select Expand

::test <- "Test Message";

function Script::ScriptLoad()
{
    Console.Print(::test);
}

Code Select Expand

function Script::ScriptLoad()
{
    ::test <- "Test Message";
    Console.Print(::test);
}

The script can be succesfullly compiled using sq-compiler-gui. But I already got a workaround by using an empty compiled script.

+The error is at the first line and column.
