s.bas Module and Obfuscation

[NFOBoy]

First off, Margret, wonderful module... much props! (for those wondering, from here: http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-getting-started-tutorials/10365-string-functions.html#post57671

On to my issue:

when trying to compile in obfuscate mode I get the following error:

Compiling code. 0.03

ObfuscatorMap.txt file created in Objects folder.
Compiling layouts code. 0.00
Generating R file. 0.00
Compiling generated Java code. Error
B4A line: 148
Text = Trim(Text)
javac 1.6.0_31
src\b4a\pasagosoft\standardprostart\s.java:152: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable _ba
location: class b4a.pasagosoft.standardprostart.s
_text = _vvvvvvvv2(_ba,_text);

and the cursor is floating in here:

Sub IsEmpty(Text As String) As Boolean
   Text = Trim(Text)
   If Text.Length < 1 Then
      Return True
   Else
      Return False
   End If   
End Sub

I've looked thru the pitfalls with using obfuscation from http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-getting-started-tutorials/13773-android-code-obfuscation.html#post77873, and don't see anything that stands out... no process globals that are in my Main (it compiles obfuscated before I add in the S.bas module) No CallSub anywhere that I can see.

Anybody else get this to compile in obfuscate mode? What's the trick?

Thanks much,

Ross

I've just download the sample and compiled it with obfuscation. It compiled successfully (after adding the Process_Globals sub).

Erel,

I am using 1.92.

I did a a fresh project, saved it and added the latest s.bas (so it is the only module, and no code written in the Main module)

I select compile(obfuscated) and get the same error.

Any ideas what would cause it? Every other compile works fine (from release method, to obfuscate with other modules)

Quick Edit:

(I went back to a 1.8 and 1.9 version and get the same error)

my paths are (in case that should matter)
javac:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_31\bin\javac.exe
android.jar:
C:\Users\MacBook Pro\android-sdks\platforms\android-8\android.jar
additional libraries
C:\Programming\Libraries

Hair Pulling... and eureka moment.. I think...

Just to follow up.

Did a fresh install to a different directory. (did not uninstall old version)

Got the same error on a fresh project.

I did not get any errors when compiling release or debug.

I could compile other modules (dbutils, my own modules) in any mode.


So then I started trying to pull out the parts that obfuscator was choking on.

Which led me to discover that I could compile part of the module. Then I took the parts that wouldn't compile and moved to a new code module.

Wala! it worked.

So then I took the whole module, copy/pasted into a new code module and everything is good.

Wierd.
