ERROR: null when compiling with SDK8.1.0 under windows11 for a lot of device

riedid74 5 days ago

Some big projets have a compilation problem with sdk 8.1 but it's good with 7.4.3.

Executing task: monkeyc: Building For Device

It's good for old device like Fenix 3 HR with perhaps less code , variables and perhaps exclusions.

Without any change, when I select SDK 743 all is good

When I compile with unreleased version 8.0.0 all compilations are good too. Only the issue with 8.1.0

When I try to export with Eclipse (more information in the log)

BUILD: 0 OUT OF 194 DEVICES BUILT
BUILD: ERROR: Cannot invoke "java.util.Set.add(Object)" because "this.mFileInfo" is null

When I see in class code in line 154 this.mFileInfo.add(fileInfo);

Fixed.

Solution

In big application using a lot of exclusion for devices,

I had a class for instintct and a class for other.

(:CIQ2HighMemory :MULTICOLOR) class MsgScreen extends WatchUi.View like this

and an another class

(:CIQ2HighMemory :BICOLOR) class MsgScreen extends WatchUi.View

In this case when I compiled I had null and

This was fine in SDK 743 or beta 8.0, but not in version 8.1.0.

I simply changed the class name to:

(:BICOLOR) class MsgScreenBicolor extends WatchUi.View

and adapted my code to call the MsgScreenBicolor class for Instinct devices and MsgScreen for other watches.

It's likely that the exclude doesn't have enough space to correctly apply the exclude, as there are many exclusions in the code.

Fixed now

You might want to post a bug report about this. Garmin might reply and give you an email address so you can send them a copy of the broken version of your project (if you're comfortable doing that), assuming you don't want to post it publicly.

Unless ofc you can recreate this with a smaller version of your code that you're comfortable with posting.

You can email the compiler log (--debug-log-level 3) to [email protected]

I think there is already a bug report exactly about this error message. It looks like it's somehow related to the too many open files if I recall correctly.

We have a fix for this that will be in an upcoming release. Thanks to those of you that have provided logs!

How do I do this? How to run from a DOS command window? All I get is errors.

[For some reason the above reply is only visible when I'm logged out. Maybe it was deleted by the person who posted it, but just in case it wasn't, I'm replying to it anyway.]

You don't run the compiler manually, you set the compiler option mentioned above in the VS Code Monkey C extension preferences.

In VS Code:

- open command palette [CTRL-SHIFT-P]
- select "Preferences: Open User Settings"
- search for "Monkey C"
- Add the following text to the "Monkey C: Compiler Options" field:
--debug-log-level 3

This will create a log file: [project root]\bin\log.zip

Send this file to Garmin [note that it includes the full source code of your project]
