Runs on Sim, crashes on watch.... what's next ??

My app runs as expected on the Simulator (Forerunner 245 music).

The watch has been completely updated, and the app was downloaded from Garmin Connect.

When I run it on the watch it crashes immediately with the following lines in the CIQ_LOG

Error: Not Enough Arguments Error
Details: 'Failed invoking <symbol>'
Time: 2021-03-10T21:07:20Z
Part-Number: 006-B3077-00
Firmware-Version: '6.20'
Language-Code: eng
ConnectIQ-Version: 3.2.4
Store-Id: 575da5b1-b0cf-4c1f-9c7f-5acb12b28f70
Store-Version: 37
Filename: EE40A17E
Appname: XXXXXXXX (blocked intentionally for this post)
Stack:

- pc: 0x10003db7
- pc: 0x100064c6

I created EE40A17E.TXT in the GARMIN\APPS\LOGS.

The first lines of my app are...

function initialize()
{ AppBase.initialize();

Sys.println( "\nCrash Debug line 1" );

and that write does not go into the .TXT file... the file remains empty.

So what's a programmer to do ????

How does one go about debugging this ???

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If this is a sideload, try again with a debug build, and theen you'll get an easy to read stack trace.

Or, you can use the debug.xml for this build and translate the PC values (in the log they are hex, in debug.xml they are decimal so you'll have to do some conversions.)

Oh, ok, this is from the store. Look in the .iq file you used in the store and look for this part number, and you'll see the correct debug.xml.

Hi Jim.

This is entirely new ground for me, so please bear with my questions.

1) how do I go about looking in a .iq file ?

2) I don't have any debug.xml file or files, so how do I produce or find those ?

I'm building with eclipse.

Thanks

1) an iq file is really just a zip

2) the debug.xml will be in the iq.

You may already see this in ERA with an easy to read stack trace.

Here's another reference:

Another question... about how the forum works.

How do I bookmark a post, or get back to one of my own posts ?

I get some odd notification from my bookmarks often when I log in (there are no bookmarks listed) but when I want to bookmark a post like this to make it easy to get back to, I see no way to do that and I've tried every control that I can find on the page. Is there a way to bookmark a thread in the forum or do I need to just save a bookmark in my browser ?

I have no idea. Never used bookmarks.

Thanks a lot Jim.

That was just what I needed.

It's a bug in my code that I hadn't come across, not difference between the Sim and the watch.

Much appreciated.
