Attempt to call a nil value

Vallentain

Uhhh when I start the gideros player, sometimes it outputs an error: Attempt to call a nil value, stack traceback:


But it doesn't say which line is wrong and my game is working just fine, so I don't know what the problem is. And sometimes it happens, sometimes not.

I haven't met this kind of error before. If not private, can you send me your project? (atilim@gid...mobile.com)

For me it is the same, so rarely my ebook application is giving this error. But i never got complains from my users in android by the way. I suppose desktop player has some issues.

@atilim, I am not sure if what I experienced is similar, I feel that if the last run has any leaks (which should not be the case) or something I get the uploading files messages and the app runs, but sometime after a few runs, it says that the font could not be uploaded and the player crashes. Upon restarting it works fine again. Now that I would relate with some memory related issue, so I must have a memory leak somewhere, or maybe also due to the fact that I simply press ⌘+R to replay my project on the player without first stopping it.

............ After several testing I think I know where I got this error from, though I agree with @OZApps that this happened only after I upgraded to the latest version of gideros studio

@OZApps, @Vallentain I see. let me test it. From time to time, I'm doing stress tests with Gideros (like running test programs 5-6 hours and monitoring the memory usage). Not let me run a heavy application without closing the player again and again.

@atilim
In my case, it seems that Event.END_CONTACT is being called when a simulator stopped.

And somehow, it being troublesome if i add an event listener on it.
For example, if i add Event.COMPLETE, it will shown one 'attempt to call a nil value
stack traceback:', but if i add Event.ENTER_FRAME, that's it...
