I encountered the following problem: When opening a large .maxpat which contains bpatchers that have been created by a .js script, sporadically some patchcords are missing. This problem occurs more frequently when a .exe is created from this .maxpat.

My hyphothesis is that MaxMSP tries to connect inlets and outlets that do not yet exist, due to the execution time the .js takes.

My question is: When does MaxMSP try to connect the patchcords described by the .maxpat file? Is there a delay I could rely on, or is there an event that triggers Max to do so? Apart from that, is there a way to ensure that Max waits an appropriate amount of time before connecting the patchcords?

Do you get any error messages in the Max-Window?

I'm not very fluent with js but used it in one quite big project and it took me a while to get all apparent mistakes fixed. In my particular case I avoided any cord connections between the already existing objects and the objects created via js. So using send/receive and pattr objects did a wonderful job in that case and i have never had to worry about it.

To be more certain I created a funnel with i inputs connected to a send name_x within the js object and and put a receive name_x object into my maxpatch. I also made this.patcher.connect the very last line of my code in js.

Maybe putting this.patcher.connect at the end helps. However I suspect that all of the js code is executed before some of the other objects have been created.

Strangely I do not get any error messages.
