Unhandled exception when saving code on VS2017

[mattfelsen]

Hello! Figured I'd give this block a shot. I'm on Win10, the latest Cinder (b953e7b67) & Cinder-Runtime (7d1646c) from git, and VS2017 with the VS2015 build tools but not the IDE itself. I retargeted Cinder , Cinder-Runtime, and the Basics example to the Win10 SDK but kept the platform toolset at v140, and had no issues compiling the debug & release shared targets for the Cinder or Cinder-Runtime libs. The Basics example starts up fine, but when I change a line of code I get this exception:

Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFC81664008 in Basics.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: runtime::FactoryException at memory location 0x000000000014C800. occurred

You can see it fails calling launch() inside AppBase::executeLaunch():

I briefly tried retargeting everything to the v141 toolset, starting with Cinder, but ran into separate issues there so I backed off since I'm not sure if Cinder is even working natively with VS2017/v141 yet.

Let me know if you've got any thoughts or what else I can provide to help figure it out. Thanks!

Here's a bit of into from the Output window...

bump 🙃

Hm, probably should have tested again before bumping. I just tried again (there have been a few VS 2017 updates since posting a few months ago), and now the app no longer crashes, but changes aren't reflected. I'll take another look at https://github.com/simongeilfus/Cinder-Runtime/issues/11 and/or poke around some more and hopefully report back with more helpful info.

Just reporting back to say I gave this another shot today with Cinder 35e555f1c and Cinder-Runtime 7d1646c and it seems to be working now 🤷🏼‍♂️ 🙃
