Template fails to load textures about fxgl-mavengradle HOT 28 CLOSED

Try right-click and rebuild on resources in your IDE. Sometimes, IDEs do not copy resources correctly.

from fxgl-mavengradle.

Sadly did not work, error still persists.

from fxgl-mavengradle.

I did a little bit of testing. If I do this:

 File test = new File("src/main/assets/textures/ship5.png");

 String str = test.getAbsolutePath();

FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream(str);
Image img = new Image(input);
ImageView view = new ImageView(img);

var ship = FXGL.entityBuilder(data)

          
                .viewWithBBox(view)
                .build();
                

Then it works, and the image gets added correctly. As you can see from the path, I have my assets in the main folder. Put using

File test = new File("src/main/resources/assets/textures/ship5.png");

Works also. Maybe this helps in narrowing down the error

Please excuse the question, but I am rather new to java - What commands would I need to run? And should I run them from the terminal inside Intellij for instance?

from fxgl-mavengradle.

No worries.

1. Get apache maven binary zip.
2. Set JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to your jdk 11+. If you haven't done this before, have a look online on how to set it based on your OS.
3. Then run from the terminal (e.g. Linux terminal / Git bash) -- don't use IDE, as it will help us see where the error is coming from

mvn javafx:run

from fxgl-mavengradle.

Ok, thanks for the patience. I will look into it when I have some spare time - got 3 exams upcoming in the next few days, so I am somewhat lacking in free time.

But I am curious to get to the bottom of this, so I'll test this when I can

Got around to testing what you asked. Running the command produced a build failure:

Hope the screenshot helps.

Hmm, you need to run this inside the project directory.

from fxgl-mavengradle.

oh... well sorry for the noob thing... will do

from fxgl-mavengradle.

Hmm, you need to run this inside the project directory.

Do I have to be inside src? or just inside the directory?

from fxgl-mavengradle.

Inside the top-level directory (FXGL-MavenGradle), i.e. where pom.xml is located.

from fxgl-mavengradle.

ok, was in the right place then, same error - should I post the complete output from GitBash?

from fxgl-mavengradle.

yes, please. A screenshot will do

Please make sure that you are using the latest pom.xml from this repository.

from fxgl-mavengradle.

Updated the POM, had to change the source inside it to "14", to get further, still get this error:

from fxgl-mavengradle.

Have you made any changes to the project? If so, it might be best to simply download the latest copy of this directory and run maven.

Okay, did some testing.

First, yes I did use this template to develop my project, so I added some things.

I pulled a fresh copy of the repo just now - maven runs without any issues, gradle still hast the texture loading problem.

Edit: Did some further testing, modified the POM to fit my project (was pointing at wrong main class).
Now, Maven compiles without errors finding all assets, gradle still, as stated above cannot find any assets

from fxgl-mavengradle.

Solved the issue... A malformed modul_info.java was causing gradle to make problems. Solved it by deleting it - brutal, but it worked. Now gradle run works without error, and finds all assets. Could you just tell me if this module info file is needed, and how I would need to configure it correctly?

/**
 * @author Almas Baimagambetov ([email protected])
 */
open module drop.main {  //<-- what needs to be but there? Name of my main class? or something else?
    requires com.almasb.fxgl.all;
    requires annotations;
    requires javafx.media;
}

if not, this issue is resolved. :)

from fxgl-mavengradle.

Thanks for letting me know.

module-info is needed for generating jlinked platform images for deployment. The one provided should be fine, as it works with maven. Will investigate the gradle build later.

from fxgl-mavengradle.

I renamed the package and main Class, so maybe the name of my class or package causes the problem. If you need any more info let me know!

from fxgl-mavengradle.

Should work now. If you'd like to test it out, please get a fresh copy of the repo and run with gradle instructions in README

from fxgl-mavengradle.

updated the repo that I had local, works fine now.

I think that I botched something when using this repo as a starting point for my project. By renaming the Main Class and the package gradle got very unhappy - I thought I changed all the importand config files, but the module_info.java file continued to cause a problem. Still do not know what would be the correct way to configure this file.

In any case, the issue is solved, If there is nothing else you want me to test you can close this issue. Thanks for your patience!

from fxgl-mavengradle.

I often encounter issues with gradle myself, which is why I prefer maven. Good to know the updated gradle build works fine now. Thanks.
