    haxe  -lib heaps -lib hlsdl -cp src -hl "C:/Temp/New Project/bin/NewProject.hl" -D hot-reload -main Main
  • b
    ran with 
    hl --hot-reload NewProject.hl
  • b
    left app open, changed text to "Hellow World 111111", recompiled, nothing changed
  • b
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  • b
    i think probably my HL is super out of date, if this is a new thing
  • p
    That can't work, because 
    init
    won't get called again after hot reloading, so 
    tf.text
    will not be updated. If you put 
    tf.text = "foo"
    in the update function then it should work, because update is called every frame. In Flutter changes like that will work because of it's architecture. Iirc every UI widget has a 
    build
    function, so upon hot reload Flutter can just rebuild all the components and that way all the changes will be applied.
  • b
    right, i see
  • b
    so hot reload will only work (in heaps) if things are in update? Which i guess in reality, for games, is most stuff (?)
  • b
    (app crashed when i recompiled)
  • b
    Copy code
    haxe
class Main extends hxd.App {
    var tf:Text;
    override function init() {
        tf = new h2d.Text(hxd.res.DefaultFont.get(), s2d);
    }
    
    override function update(dt:Float):Void 
    {
        super.update(dt);
        tf.text = "Hello World 11 !";
    }
    
    static function main() {
        new Main();
    }
}

    Hot reload, wether it is in hashlink or dart, will only patch functions. So you can only observe changes to code that will be executed again after the hot reload has occured. > Even when a hot reload operation appears successful and generates no exceptions, some code changes might not be visible in the refreshed UI. This behavior is common after changes to the app’s main() or initState() methods. > > As a general rule, if the modified code is downstream of the root widget’s build() method, then hot reload behaves as expected. However, if the modified code won’t be re-executed as a result of rebuilding the widget tree, then you won’t see its effects after hot reload.

    That works for me. (Note that I am using latest hashlink from git)
  • b
    right, probably my HL then, i dont remember the last time i updated, but certainly a good while
  • o
    Hot reload is great but I was more thinking "soft-reload" (where it would read the source css files on app start vs embedding the content on compile)
  • o
    Don't think that or hot reload would need to work on all targets, just a convenient dev target for rapid UI/style iteration
  • a
    i think all targets can support hot reloading in some way except for maybe cpp (but you can use hotreloading if you used cppia)
  • a
    but i think the html5 reload is defo a full hard reload
  • a
    and i'm not sure about hl hot reload
  • f
    turned out to be a flixel issue, but weird that it crashed in the haxeui code
  • c
    Hey not sure if this is a bug or i'm doing something wrong but 
    Dialogs.selectFile
    is not working for me in debug mode. The file select window is frozen and without buttons. It seems to work perfectly fine when I build the application and run the executable
  • b
    hey, sorry, all mixed up in the wedding - what backend is this? Any more details? wx?
  • f
    I feel like someone linked their efforts on documenting how you can style widgets in here but I can't find it when I scroll up
  • b
  • b
  • c
    no problem! It's a heaps application
  • b
    can you paste the call to selectFile? Just so were using the same params, etc
  • c
    Copy code
    import haxe.ui.containers.VBox;
import haxe.ui.containers.dialogs.Dialog.DialogButton;
import haxe.ui.containers.dialogs.Dialogs;
import haxe.ui.components.Button;
import haxe.ui.Toolkit;

class Main extends hxd.App {

    override function init() {
        Toolkit.init({root: s2d});
        var vbox = new VBox();
        s2d.addChild(vbox);
        var b = new Button();
        b.text = "Click me";
        b.onClick = function(_) {
            Dialogs.selectFile(function(btn, fileList) {
                if (btn != DialogButton.CANCEL) {
                    trace(fileList[0].fullPath);
                }
            });
        }
        vbox.addComponent(b);
    }

    override function update(dt:Float) {

    }

    static function main() {
        hxd.Res.initEmbed();
        new Main();
    }

}
  • c
    This small app doesn't work for me (running in debug mode). I copied the selectFile code from one of your earlier messages
  • b
    OK, so i think you are using an outdated version of haxeui, selectFile has been renamed to openFile
  • b
    any chance you can update to haxeui-core + haxeui-heaps git version and see if the problem persists
