Hello @Kittycannon ,
You are not! I can confirm this for the zip install. :)
My environment:
- W10
- A manual install of Processing from the portable zip file so I have the last version available to fall back to if required.
- Rename the Processing install folder and add the version number to the folder name.
The serial.jar is missing from Processing 4.4.8:
The serial.jar is available with Processing 4.4.7:
I put the Serial JARs from Processing 4.4.7 in my sketch folder and it worked:
Libraries - Happy Coding
It is also missing in examples:
It is also missing in the Menu Bar in Sketch > Import Library…
I also tried to copy the Serial library from Processing 4.4.7 to the Libraries folder in the Sketchbook Folder and that worked. Restart Processing after adding the library.
You can find the JARs and extract them from the zip file:
Releases · processing/processing4 · GitHub
Go to Processing 4.4.7 > Assets > Find the portable zip version
Workarounds Proceed with Caution !
These are workarounds only for Processing 4.4.8 until there is an update and for the serial library issue only.
You may introduce other issues when introducing workarounds.
This has happened to me in the past!
Proceed with caution and only if you are confident in what you are doing.
Experience has helped me navigate issues and find solutions and workarounds.
The serial library has not changed that I am aware of and can be copied from the last version to replace the missing one.
:)
