B4J Question Missing views in debug mode

[tsteward]

When I compile my app in release mode my File menu contains "DB Update" & "Close"
When I compile in debug mode my File menu only contains "Close"

Also just for testing I move my DBUpdate stuff to "Close" it tells me I must first initialize "ProgIndicator" which has been created with the design so I don't understand.

Download export of app

"DB Update" & "Close" are shown under debug and release mode here. (win 7 64bit, jre java 1.7.0_65-b19)

There is a missing layout file (wait.fxml).

 

[tsteward]

Its actually not used. Dunno why export didn't give it to you but here it is.

 

[Erel]

Seems like scene builder has generated an invalid fxml file.

Open Main1.fxml with a text editor and change <fx:root... line to <AnchorPane...
You also need to change the closing element.

See wait.fxml for the correct structure.

I have edited the file and now it wont load at all. Dont know what I have done wrong.

 

[tsteward]

OK I have managed to repair main1.fxml
Still when compiling in debug mode the menu item is missing but not in release mode.

Can you upload the updated project?

The menu does appear here in debug mode:

Note that you should set the menu anchors to fill the entire form width.

 

[tsteward]

The menu bar appears but not all menu items.
"DB Update" is not available in debug mode.

I've tested it without the database code in AppStart and it does show here. Can you comment the database related code and test it?

 

[tsteward]

Ok commented out all d code from app start and no different. It seems like it loads a different fxml file because ProgIndicator (my progressindicator) which is created in the fxml is not initialised. In fact I just noticed when using the ide menu to goto edit layout any changes I make in scene builder only appear in the a compiled release mode, not in debug mode. So there must be different fxml files somewhere for debug vs release

I just exported my app and put it into a new directory and all works fine - problem fixed just dont know how I caused it in the first place
