adding a progress bar anywhere in my openfl app crashes when running in neko

but it works in cpp or js build

git versions, haxelib updated

Does it work when you run it in hashlink?

do you have an example app? Or can you create / zip a minimal test app?

I can't get hashlink to work lol

Just in general, I don't think it works with openfl

Hashlink works with lime/openfl/flixel. Is there some kind of error message?

Can't test rn but it was some startup error about converting strings to utf16

So I just gave up with hashlink

When you can test it, I'd be useful if you could share the exact error. utf16 conversion isn't one of the usual issues.

Well it was an access violation actually inside a string method

Now that I think about it it was probably haxeui (or me) passing a null string into a method but I'll take another look when I'm finished work

oh yeah this is the weird hashlink error

Fixed on the development branch :

thank you that's helpful 😄

should i always use the develop branch for lime

For lime I think dev branch is the one to use. If i remember correctly it was the branch i had the best luck with last year.

thanks Zeta

cant help but feel like im doing something embarrassingly wrong

i'll give it a shot

@User just to verify i'm seeing things correctly..... you started with a haxeui template? for example haxeui create openfl ?

yes

then i just removed everything and added a progressbar

ok. I saw the progress bar in the html. which version of hashlink do you have installed?

i just now got hashlink to work by getting the develop branch of lime

nice

progressbar only crashes on neko

ok

(which i guess i dont need anymore since i have hashlink working)
