@outputs Recieve:number [One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven]:number #[Radio inputs]#

You are not supposed to write down the variables in this format when grouping them with brackets.

This would be the intended "correct" format:

@outputs Recieve:number [One Two Three Four Five Six Seven]:number #[Radio inputs]#

But this would probably also "work", because of how the internal pre-processor handles the variable names:

@outputs Recieve:number [One,Two,Three,Four,Five,Six,Seven]:number #[Radio inputs]#

So basically either use Spaces only or Commas only, but not both.

Besides that, this still should not throw a Lua error, so the issue in general is still relevant.
For some reason PreProcessor:ConvertDescriptions(portstbl) receives a nil value, even though it is only being called on Lines 392-393 by PreProccesor:Proccess and the nil-check block on Lines 367-379 should make sure this doesn't happen.
Needs further investigation.

[Denneisk]

The error comes from including a file with any directives in it.

[Denneisk]

The error occurs because E2Lib.PreProcessor.Execute can return either PPDirectives or Error[] as its second argument and the validate action does not check if an error occurred before trying to include the file.
