Android Question BAL file not found in widget

[Rusty]

I'm creating a widget.
I have an existing widget from which I copied the code; made modifications and tried to run.
When i try to run the new code

Sub Service_Create
    'Set the widget to update every x minutes.
    rv = ConfigureHomeWidget("pnlservice", "rv", 1, "commwidget")
End Sub

When this line runs, i keep getting

java.io.FileNotFoundException: pnlservice.bal

However, pnlservice.bal DOES exist in the FILES:

I've tried creating a new BAL file from scratch in the designer and it too can't be found.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks
Rusty

 

[DonManfred]

maybe it is the case of the filename
Try renaming pnlService.bal to pnlservice.bal

 

[Erel]

Can you post the full error message from the logs?

The below is the error log (unfiltered) for an widget I've had running on hundreds of tablets from Ice Cream Sandwich to Marshmallow.
The code has worked well for years and now when I recompile it it get this...

Thanks for your help.

I might add that the last time the widget was compiled was under B4a Version 5.2, (November 2015, before 5.5 came out, using 5.8 in logs below and previous post).

Here is Erel's Quote of the day widget (completely unchanged), compiled, installed unfiltered logs, same .BAL missing problem

You must use Release mode with widgets.
