Applications created in Processing for OS X 10.7.3 crash on launch.

Applications created in Processing for OS X 10.7.3 crash on launch.

in Integration and Hardware • 1 year ago

Google has left me empty handed. When I create a application in processing and attempt to launch it the icon bounces twice then it crashes.

I thought it may be because I was attempting to connect to the webcam so I tried a super basic sketch... no dice.

Anybody experienced this before?

In the logs this is the error I'm getting before crash...

I was thinking of creating a kiosk interface using processing but this kinda puts a damper on things.

If anybody could help I would appreciate it.

Cheers,

Andrew

software update? I'm on 10.7.4 right now and I dont remember publishing anything on 10.7.3 so idk if i had the same problem but i'd say try running a software update and republishing. If not I'd be glad to do a test run on my machine for ya if you think its an os 10.7 thing. just tell me what kind of setup and was and maybe i can build a dummy one to try to export here.

Hello Kobby,

Thanks for the quick response!

Let me try the system update. If not I will gladly take you up on your offer.

Oh a note. The above error is a red herring it is caused by a space in the plist for the application.

If you remove the space before -Xms64m the error goes away.

The app still crashes though.

Okay. The problem is any application I create no matter how simple will crash on start up.

Tried updating... no dice. As a matter of fact i get a new errors now. This seems to be the case with people running 10.7.4 and it doesn't stop me from running Processing so I'm not too worried.

The problem seems to be with the javaApplicationStub that is inside the application bundle. If I replace i with the one that comes with the system it doesn't crash but doesn't finish loading either. I'll look into that a bit more.

If you could do me a favour and export anything as a application and run it. Let me know if it works. If it does send it over to me and I'll try running it.

Thanks in advance.

Arrggh just lost the original post and now I have to retype.

Long story short I had two versions of Java running on my system... for some reason this is a issue when creating applications. I turned off the older version and now I can create applications with processing again.

I used an app called "Java Preferences" to turn off the older version and to make the 32bit version the default.

I hope this helps somebody else.

As a side note: I logged in to this forum via Facebook... what a terrible user experience!! Completely broken.

Cheers,

Andrew
