Custom svg files don't render?

Processing Coding Questions
1

so i’m just testing out how processing renders svg files and for some reason it will only work with test ones i’ve downloaded from the internet, and the custom ones i exported from inkscape will compile but don’t show up. i’ve exhausted all of the very limited things i know about svg so i really just don’t know what i’m doing wrong. i have no idea if it’s a problem with the file or with the way i’m rendering it, i don’t even know if it’s drawing the shape at all and it’s just not on the surface anywhere. really confused by this haha

here’s the code and the output with the mouse pressed (i’m only allowed to upload this one image but otherwise it’s blank)

i can’t upload svg’s here so i really have no way to demonstrate it but is there something in the file i should look for? thanks

to clarify, that screenshot is of the downloaded image that does work. when it tries to render the custom svg it’s blank

A suggestion: You can open your SVGs in any text editor. The code looks much like HTML (XML format) so it is fairly readable. You can compare with the working file.

yea i tried posting the raw code but the spam bot deleted it

fwiw they have almost nothing in common, both in structure and content, so i have no idea what the issue might be
