Bug: import project not working under Linux

[kencamargo]

Description:

wxUiEditor 1.2.0, Ubuntu Linux 22.04. When I try to import a project, the program closes without any warnings or messages. I tried running it from the terminal, and apparently it is still running, just not showing anything. No new error messages there either.

Is this any project that you have tried, or a specific project or type of project?

Hi, Any attempt to import fails, whether at the initial window or after opening the design window and trying to import something. In the first case the program closes, in the latter it freezes for a while and then closes. I tried invoking it from the terminal, and aside from a bunch of GTK errors it shows on starting up, nothing new appears when trying to import. Is there anything I can do to try and see if I get more information?

That's all I need, thanks. I'll take a look at it later today and see if I can spot the problem.

So far, I can't reproduce the problem. I've tried on Fedora 39 and Ubuntu 20.04 and I am able to import a wxFormBuilder 4 project file in both Debug and Release builds without a problem.

Would it be possible for you to attach the project you are trying to import? I'd like to see if there is something specific to that project that is causing the problem.

Hi, that is the problem, I can't even attempt to import anything. As I hit the import button, it goes off. I don't even get to choose a project or file to import. I have forgot to add, I have wxWidgets version 3.05 installed, don't know if that makes any difference. Thanks for your attention, ken

I tried running it on a virtual machine, and it didn't show the same problem. I don't have the wxWidgets dev libraries installed on the virtual machine, maybe the problem is around that?

I've uninstalled and installed it again, now everything works. I must have scared off some gremlin or other. Sorry for the disturbance.

Glad to know the problem resolved itself.

Just as an FYI, wxUiEditor is built with a static version of wxWidgets, so it makes no difference what version you have. However, be aware that the C++ code it generates may require wxWidgets 3.1. As long as you don't try to use anything in wxWidgets that wasn't added after your version was released, you should be fine. However, no conditionals are added for code that requires 3.1, so if you do use something that requires 3.1, you won't know until you try to compile or link.

Closing since there isn't anything I can do if installation fails.
