Duplicate method error after moving from v3 to v4

Processing
#1

Running Processing 4 beta 7 on Windows 11. I am attempting to run a sketch that runs fine in Processing 3 on the same machine. Loading it now in P4 with no changes results in a “duplicate method settings()” error even though “settings()” only appears once in the main class for the sketch (and nowhere else). I use the settings() method to set the size of the window for the sketch based on a config file that gets loaded from the data folder for the sketch. This requires a call to loadJSONObject() from within settings(). Is it possible that the “duplicate method” error stems from that call in P4?

Hi @deisengard, I’m sorry no-one has replied. It would be easier if you posted the code. I suggest you save to a new name, and remove everything that isn’t part of the problem. see Minimum reproducible example.

Hello @deisengard ,

This works on W10 with Processing 4 beta 8:

// data.json file contents:
/*
  {
  "width":  100,
  "height": 200,
  }
*/

JSONObject json;

void settings()
  {
  json = loadJSONObject("data.json");
  int w = json.getInt("width");
  int h = json.getInt("height");
  println(w, h);
  size(w, h);
  }

void setup() 
	{
  println(width, height);
	}

void draw() 
	{
  background(0);
	}

:)
