Editor crash - BBText crash because of undefined style (reading 'fill')

[VanCastar]

Describe what you were doing when the crash happened

I opened up The old and then working Miles Apart project. Then this happened when trying to start the main scene. Login etc worked fine but main menu scene was broken. Last time I ran it via editor was in Feb 2023 as a working project and nothing has changed after that but GDevelop version. I also tried to update all extensions but no change.

GDevelop version

5.3.186-0a6b0dc78508b65a61cf5bcad98827d8998a80e2

Thanks for reporting @VanCastar It looks like an issue coming from the BBText, using the pixi package "pixi-multistyle-text" (which is now archived unfortunately) Happens around this line https://github.com/tleunen/pixi-multistyle-text/blob/3a42873661533af916867f49917f47e764a26181/src/pixi-multistyle-text.ts#L395 though unsure which version we have in the project.

It could be because the upgrade of Pixi to 7 changed the interface of the TextStyle? Unsure. Would you be able to share your zipped project with us so we can take a look? Sharing it here or sending it via hello@gdevelop.io

Unfortunately no, as I don’t have that particular project anymore..

Had a similar issue recently so posting on this one to track the analysis. Turns out we were wrongly doing a [color=255;255;255;] which cannot be parsed by the pixi-multistyle-text library. (it expects a #000000 color)

It is hard to prevent bad formatting directly in GDevelop, as the parsing of the text is done inside the library, so this error may happen again if the text used is not recognized by the library.

In conclusion, if someone has this problem again, check the text used for the BBText and ensure it matches the format suggested on the wiki page: https://wiki.gdevelop.io/gdevelop5/objects/bbtext/
