I am looking for bug confirmation and troubleshooting help before I escalate this to LiveCode.
I have a large project. It builds fine under LC6.7.6. I downloaded LC6.7.8RC1 for testing. The StandAlone build fails under LC678rc1. And, it fails under LC677, but can be repeatedly built under 676 (or earlier). Development is on Windows, building for Windows and OSX. The symptoms of the failure are that I get the following two errors (same error, once for the OSX build and once for the WIndows build) - EVEN THOUGH my app does not include its own copies of the answer dialog in the main stack or any substacks or any external stacks that get loaded at runtime. A stack "answer dialog" in file C:/Users/Paul/Desktop/HR400-LC676/HyperRESEARCH/OSX x86-32/HyperRESEARCH.app/Contents/MacOS/HR_4.0.0.livecode is already in memory. The LiveCode UI does not distinguish stacks which have identical names, so editing these stack files while both are in memory could result in data loss. A stack "answer dialog" in file C:/Users/Paul/Desktop/HR400-LC676/HyperRESEARCH/Windows/HR_4.0.0.livecode is already in memory. The LiveCode UI does not distinguish stacks which have identical names, so editing these stack files while both are in memory could results in data loss. Then a error occurs which is one of our app's startup errors about missing components (external stacks loaded on startup) occurs and LiveCode locks up. It appears that after the errors above, LiveCode is reloading the my app FROM the standalone folder. Looking at the build folder on disk, only the HR_4.0.0.livecode stack file is present. It has not been built into a standalone and none of the external files, set in the Standalone Settings > Copy Files tab have been copied into the folders. The lack of any of teh external files, could explain the 3rd error IF LiveCode is attempting to reload the app from the build folder vs the folder it was loading into the IDE from. LiveCode locks up and a forced quit is required. So, before I escalate to LiveCode, has anyone else had any troubles building under LC6.7.7 or under LC6.7.8rc1? If you have build standalones under either of those versions, have then been for both OSX and Win or just one of those platforms? If you have built under 667 or 668 for either platform successfully, does your app use the Copy Files tab to include any other stacks or files with your app If you have built under 667 or 668 for either platform successfully, does your app use any instances of "answer" to have LC include the answer dialog upon standalone build? Lastly, does any one know if the Standaone Build process was changed in any way between LC 6.7.6 and 6.7.7? Thank you to anyone in advance for any specific information you can provide. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
