[Ovmsdev] A query on vehicle type switch (and failure)

26 Nov 2023

      This code is from OvmsVehicleFactor::SetVehicle

  m_currentvehicle = NewVehicle(type);
  if (m_currentvehicle)
  {
  m_currentvehicle->m_ready = true;
  }
  m_currentvehicletype = std::string(type);
  StandardMetrics.ms_v_type->SetValue(m_currentvehicle ? type : "");
  MyEvents.SignalEvent("vehicle.type.set", (void*)type, strlen(type)+1);

My question is about what happens when NewVehicle() returns NULL.

Should  m_currecntvehicletype,  v.type  and the SignalEvent  all be set as
blank?  Any particular reason why only the v.type is set as blank?
