Walkback assistance

[totallyobjects]

Hi Everybody

I was building a runtime over the weekend and got the walkback listed below. I am quite used to managing walkbacks on runtimes but normally the problems are with my code. The problems in this walkback seem to be before it gets to my code.

Could anyone please give me a clue where to look to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance

I don't have a direct answer to your question but the problem looks like some I have had that were cured by starting with a clean image, loading in your app and packaging from there. The problem is probably an odd bug in the base code that is only hit under rare circumstances. I'm not sure where I would put a breakpoint to start to find it. So, it is probably easier to try to avoid the problem by starting clean. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

Dave,

it's not too clear if the error is during packaging, or in the packaged image. Also you don't mention what version of VA.

Hello,

Looking at the walkback, it is doing:

Code: Select all

Smalltalk at: #LabelsForMenuOptions ifAbsent: aBlock

. . . but it is not finding that class. I do not see that class in a standard image and it may be custom code. The '.es' files, written by the packager, will tell you if that class was eliminated from the packaged image and the reason.

Thanks.

If this is the startup of a packaged runtime, I am surprised to see EtTools involved in your walkback. Perhaps you have packaged a part of the development environment with your runtime app?

[totallyobjects]

The ETTools issue was the problem. I was using AbtIni to read ini files but this has ETTools as a prerequisite.
However I now have a further runtime problem, again, that I have never seen before.

The program loads and runs until I select from a drop down, when I get a window pop-up (image attached here) that states

24 Class definition missing.

I don't have a class 24 so can anyone help with what it is telling me?

Hi Dave,

I'm not sure as I can't the the image you mentioned but I think there may be two problems. The first is the missing class the message mentions. The second, I think is missing NLS files that cause the error message for the first error to not be formated correctly. This is of course just a guess.

Lou

[totallyobjects]

Thanks Lou. Dumping all the NLS files into the directory got me the correct message which, of course, was a class that wasn't being packaged.

It is all sorted. Thanks for your help.

John.

Can you explain why AbtIni, which works really well with standard MS ini files, should not be available for packaging because of its involvement with ETTools?

David -

I went into this in more detail in the AbtIni topic that you created, but the short answer is that the AbtIni class is part of the AbtOdbcSamplesApp and that app requires EtTools. Let's take further discussion of whether or not AbtIni should be part of the base product to the AbtIni topic.
