Null Pointer Exception

[prtysh]

Getting error whenever trying to run any example code provided for in Joshua's site- for HCanvas.

HYPE.pde:1:0:1:0: NullPointerException

When trying to run in Processing it says: Syntax error on(s) misplaced construct(s) - Tab=build, Line=2 Error on "}" - Tab=HYPE, Line= 2

Is this issue known?

[hype]

yes this is a known error... as this is something that has broken with the newest release of P6beta... and... has been fixed in our "library" branch... which we're working on as we speak.

I see, been dying over here trying to get the canvas working, because who likes the fade in the normal stage. And it is weird seeing your video in one tab - and getting your reply in another :)

[prtysh]

It was raised already, my bad.

[prtysh]

I am still not able to get it to work. Unzipped everything from the Library version, and pasted to the /Processing/libraries, so the dir structure looks as mentioned in installation instructions.

[01:42 @ Pratyush ../HYPE ]$ pwd /Users/Pratyush/Documents/Processing/libraries/HYPE [01:42 @ Pratyush ../HYPE ]$ ls CHANGELOG.md README.md distribution/ library/ reference/ src/ LICENSE.txt data/ examples/ library.properties resources/

[hype]

howdy - so you are catching us right at the exact moment we're rocking new things... so let me help...

1. https://github.com/hype/HYPE_Processing/tree/library download zip
2. unzip HYPE_Processing-library.zip
3. navigate to "distribution"
4. unzip HYPE.zip
5. move HYPE folder to /Documents/Processing/libraries

until I package up all the new examples... create a test sketch with the following

import hype.*;

HCanvas canvas;
HRect   rect;

void setup() {
    size(640,640);
    H.init(this).background(#242424);

    canvas = new HCanvas().autoClear(false).fade(5);
    H.add(canvas);

    canvas.add( rect = new HRect(50).rounding(5) ).noStroke().fill(#FF3300).rotate(45);
}

void draw() {
    rect.loc( (int)random(width), (int)random(height));
    H.drawStage();
}

literally yesterday and today - I've been migrate the new examples with this new structure. Hopefully will have everything buttoned up by tomorrow.

Okay. So, I got this to work from #87 solution, moving the lines

[hype]

awesome !

[prtysh]

lemme try this too, in that case. Been spending quite a few sleepless nights.

[prtysh]

nope earlier I had done these exact steps. That does not work- only changing the lines seems to do this for now.

[hype]

just to be clear... you're not using HYPE.pde anymore.

[prtysh]

ah no, but I am. Following your skillshare session... So I guess, this is something above the HYPE.pde and is aimed at replacing the need to hold the pde file in the build dir.

[hype]

:)

my classes are coded against Processing 2.2.1 - knowing were moving into Processing 3 beta

we knew some stuff was going to break... so either you have to use HYPE.pde with processing 2.2.1 - or move into using Processing 3 beta but with HYPE as a proper Processing library HYPE.jar... in which case HYPE.pde wont be used. but you'll have to add import at the top of your sketch (like most Processing Libraries work)

why ?

well since Processing is moving away from ProcessingJS - there is no need to keep rocking HYPE as a HYPE.pde setup.

:)

[prtysh]

Ah I see. I have not used processing before the class, Let me read up some and then hopefully move to Processing 3 with the jar library.

Thanks for the help !! :D

[prtysh]

Never mind,

I understood how the import statement works. Able to load the libraries. I had done correct steps- but did not know that I had to add import statement, given I was using HYPE.pde. I feel less complicated now :)

[prtysh]

10x thanks.
