i have a function called uiUpdate that runs fine in the preview but freezes the app when i build it. i know this function is responsible, but i don’t know why. here is the entire ui class, i have to comment out every uiUpdate call in the main class in order to build without freezing. what’s going on here


boolean hUP;
int iUP;
boolean hDOWN;
int iDOWN;

What error do you get?

i don’t get an error. it runs fine in preview, but crashes in build

4

Can we get some details about your platform?

5

i am building for macos but i have the same problem when i build for windows

6

i recognize this is a frustrating lack of information, that’s why it’s so confusing for me too haha

7

Can you post the entire sketch if you have a github that would be great. Ill see what i can do. Are you building an executable or making a project folder?

8

you might want to try a fresh install. Delete the temp folder, make sure your java is up to date, download and reinstall processing and see what happens.

All export modes work for me apart from mac as I dont have the hardware.

that’s weird. i’ll try the build on pc again, thanks
