I haven’t messed around with Processing for a couple years. The installed version had been 3.5.4. I installed the new 4.3 and tried to run some of my old programs. Inscrutable failures.
I threw away that cache/preferences file from roaming and launch processing.exe --14j-debug
It turns on and some dirt-simple examples work. But trying to open old .pyde files often throw a java crash that kils the entire application.
I copied the code out of one pyde and put it in a new sketch. It fails with some java stuff in the console.
Now I get that I’m trying code from 3.4 in 4.3 and maybe there are some incompatibilities there, but the diagnostics in the console are so inscrutable I’m not sure if the problem is the code, or there is some larger problem going on with my installation etc. So not sure where to begin the debugging process.
But when I try to run any of my old stuff.
Here’s the guts of the pyde I tried to run. But the failure is not unique to it.
