Hi,

My game broken after update to latest version. I only reclone, as suggested.

The line where is happen.

auto background = LayerColor::create(Color4B(64, 31, 7, 255));

Error:

Loading shader: 5 positionTextureColor_vs, positionTextureColor_fs ...
axmol: fullPathForFilename: No file found at positionTextureColor_vs. Possible missing file.
axmol: fullPathForFilename: No file found at positionTextureColor_fs. Possible missing file.
libc++abi: terminating due to uncaught exception of type std::out_of_range: ibstream_view::consume out of range!

@paulocoutinhox I cannot reproduce the problem. I am assuming you're using Xcode, and building for iOS. Using Xcode 15 on a Mac M1, and a build for iOS, it's running fine on an iPhone 7:

axmol: QuadCommand: resizing index size from [-1] to [2560]

Just something to note, there are two templates made for these github issues in this repo, one of which is named "Bug report". The reason I'm mentioning it is because it wasn't used in this case, and it can be difficult trying to replicate an issue when information such as the OS, development environment, and target build type is not listed anywhere. The whole point of that template is to act as a reminder to the person filling it out as to what information is required. I strongly suggest you use it for any future reports, otherwise you may forget to include a lot of important information in your post.

Note that given the recent changes to the repo, I deleted the existing local axmol repo, and cloned it again, and re-ran setup.ps1. A fresh project was created, and built via xcode. If you didn't clone it again, or if you didn't delete the existing build folder in your project and recreate it, then perhaps that may be something to try.

Maybe not important but: No problem on Windows

[paulocoutinhox]

It only happen with dev branch.

My steps to reproduce in a new project:

• New project: axmol new -p com.paulocoutinho.layerbug -l cpp layerbug
• In HelloWorldScene.cpp i change from:

auto visibleSize = _director->getVisibleSize();
auto origin = _director->getVisibleOrigin();
auto safeArea = _director->getSafeAreaRect();
auto safeOrigin = safeArea.origin;

to:

auto visibleSize = _director->getVisibleSize();
auto origin = _director->getVisibleOrigin();
auto safeArea = _director->getSafeAreaRect();
auto safeOrigin = safeArea.origin;

auto background = LayerColor::create(Color4B(64, 31, 7, 255));
addChild(background);

• And run with: axmol run

It only happen with dev branch.

The shader changes are only in the dev branch, since v1.0 didn't use the same structure, so I'm not quite sure why you stated that.

• And run with: axmol run

I don't know if that would cause the issue, since I don't use it, but perhaps someone else may. Can you try building the project from within Xcode to see if it works?

[paulocoutinhox]

Hi,

I tried in my other games and all is broken. If i try create a sprite, it break:

auto background = Sprite::create(backgroundImage);

Error:

Loading shader: 5 positionTextureColor_vs, positionTextureColor_fs ...
axmol: fullPathForFilename: No file found at positionTextureColor_vs. Possible missing file.
axmol: fullPathForFilename: No file found at positionTextureColor_fs. Possible missing file.
libc++abi: terminating due to uncaught exception of type std::out_of_range: ibstream_view::consume out of range!

I only put axmol run to you reproduce, because i tried from xcode too.

[rh101]

Check the build folder to see if the shaders are actually processed and saved in there, for example, build_arm64/runtime/axslc.

Also check if the shaders have been copied across the output package.

Once again, I cannot reproduce this issue at all.

[paulocoutinhox]

Yes, it is there:

ls -l build_arm64/runtime/axslc/positionTextureColor*
-rw-r--r--  1 paulo  staff   901B Dec  8 03:54 build_arm64/runtime/axslc/positionTextureColorAlphaTest_fs

-rw-r--r--  1 paulo  staff   1.0K Dec  8 03:54 build_arm64/runtime/axslc/positionTextureColor_vs

[rh101]

Yes, it is there:

What about the generated package, do the files exist in there?

EDIT: Given that you removed links to the source code etc, I'm assuming you found the issue and you got it working?

[paulocoutinhox]

The problem still happen and the final package have only this:

[rh101]

You mentioned that you can reproduce the issue with a new project, so post that project up somewhere if you can (without the build folder).

[rh101]

@paulocoutinhox I just tested a MacOS arm64 build, and it ran fine. The shaders are all in the correct folder. There is something about your development environment that may be causing all these issues.

[halx99]

note cmake 3.28.0 required

[rh101]

note cmake 3.28.0 required

Good point. My MacOS has cmake 3.28 installed, so that could very well be the reason it's working as expected.

[paulocoutinhox]

humm....mine have cmake version 3.27.6

[halx99]

you should follow DevSetup.md use axmol build -p ios -c

the pwsh build script will auto setup required cmake 3.28.0

[paulocoutinhox]

I follow, but there dont have this info: https://github.com/axmolengine/axmol/blob/dev/docs/DevSetup.md

When i redownload axmol i see it installing cmake 3.28 but it don't change nothing to this problem. I manually install now with brew (brew install cmake).

[paulocoutinhox]

After update to dev branch with the fix https://github.com/axmolengine/axmol/commit/e62d09a718948fc4cddb92dee1c6734383745ba3, it was solved. Thanks.

[paulocoutinhox]

Tested on macOS, iOS, tvOS and Android. Thanks.
