Library in code folder doesn't work properly

theliquu69

I made this little library: GitHub

I have put the Maven build of this library into my code folder, and tried this:

import iliquid.exjs.*;

exJS js;

void setup() {
  js = new exJS();
  noLoop();
}

void draw() {
  js.loadScript(sketchPath() + "/data/script.js");
  js.addImport("java.lang.System", "system");
  js.initEngine();
  js.evalScript();
}

But I am getting errors like:

The function "loadScript(String)" doesn't exist

even though the function clearly exists in my library's code:

public void loadScript(String path) {
    try {
        script = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path));
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        System.err.printf("(exJS) Error: Could not load script from file %s%n", path);
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

You might suggest that I should use the Eclipse Library Template. I don't want to, because I use IntelliJ (although it has an Eclipse project import feature, but this didn't happen with a previous library of mine, which was developed without the template like this one.)

What could be the cause of my problem?

I've copied file "exJS.java" and pasted it into the PDE as a ".java" tab:
https://Raw.GitHubUserContent.com/liquid600pgm/lib_exJavaScript/master/src/main/java/iliquid/exjs/exJS.java

Created a "script.js" inside subfolder "data/" w/ just this simple statement: print('Nashorn').

Made some tiny changes to your posted code. And voilà, it's just worked: \m/

import iliquid.exjs.exJS;

final exJS js = new exJS();

js.loadScript(dataPath("script.js"));
//js.addImport("java.lang.System", "system");
js.initEngine();

js.evalScript();
exit();

koogs

final exJS

classes traditionally start with a Capital letter

Just so you know, I've also made some utility functions for Nashorn: O:-)

Out of curiosity, I've tried to comment out my import statement, and it seems like exJS is an already existing class somewhere. I will have to rename my class then.

EDIT: I am so stupid. I totally forgot that Processing adds class SketchName { ... behind the scenes, and I called my sketch exJS. That was not a very smart idea.

Yes, naming the sketch the same thing as the class has bit me a number of times in the past.

It is too bad that PDE can't check for that at compile time and do a magic rename if there is a collision -- although adding more magic could then create further, even more obscure problems.
