1 year ago So, just to understand you are using haxelib version of heaps - as far as im aware, haxelib version of heaps is crazy out of date, and you are highly advised NOT to use it, last release was over a year ago, so im almost 100% sure you'd have to use the git version.
FYI, same sort of thing goes for haxeui btw, haxeui tends to move quite fast, so i would personally advise using the git version as it'll be sooooo much more up to date than 1.5.0. Its not as critical as using git heaps, but still advised imo.
Cheers, Ian

lineBreak: Booldoesn't seem to be a part of Heaps' api any longer, which causes problems trying to build anything with HaxeUI.Expected Behavior
The project should just build so it can be run. It's a generated "Hello World" project from the tutorial/example.
Basically anything referring to "lineBreak" in HaxeUI+Heaps needs to be removed or corrected.
Current Behavior
Toolkit.init();early also doesn't seem to change anything.Possible Solution
I tried commenting out all those lines referencing lineBreak, which allowed it to build but the app's behaviour seems to suffer, as in the buttons do nothing when clicked, no button-down state when clicking and no messages related to the button show up in the app or terminal to reflect the example code. Also the Vbox doesn't seem to do anything either. Even with that, going a step further and trying to build an executable binary simply gives an error and fails.
Only solution I can think of with my limited knowledge is updating the HaxeUI-Heaps backend to be compatible with the current Heaps-stable (non-git repo package) API and possibly rechecking the C -> exec-binary compilation issues if necessary.
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
haxelib run haxeui-core create heapsto create the project.haxe heaps-hl.hxmlMedia
Test app / minimal test case
Context
I'm currently trying to learn game dev as well as tool and general app development. And since Haxe+Heaps+hashlink are so versatile in what platforms they can target and languages Haxe can interop with, I figured it'd be the ideal way to learn and practice of both, since Heaps' default UI system is really "extra" (IMsO) with the whole CSS aspect of it since most other UI solutions don't really need that, or rather, I'm simply not a fan of CSS since I never had any reason or will to go into webdev related things. Hence why something like HaxeUI+Heaps is somewhat crucial/preferred since it would technically solves the "write once run everywhere" issue if I ever become more proficient in the language and besides general app development it gives me the ability to mess with 2D and 3D graphics and audio from the get-go without having to pull in and hack solutions together from other backends/libraries or trying to figure out how building that kind of stuff almost from scratch with
Kha. Other languages like python would force potential clients to install the interpreter or be an over bloated executable while not making it easy to port the same code to the web and constantly suffers from breaking changes due to updates to the language, same mostly goes for JVM languages and their build tools that seem to fail on the regular. Lost track of how many FOSS java projects I've tried that simply refused to build.Your Environment

Apologies for my lack of knowledge/experience with this stuff. I legit made a github account just to see if posting this issue would help things along.
