Processing 4.3 (and prior)
Windows 10
When working outside the IDE it's common to put the libraries in a lib folder like: (even when not using processing this is common)
The above works fine on OSX, but on windows it does not work.
The reason it breaks on windows: https://github.com/benfry/processing4/blob/main/core/src/processing/core/PApplet.java#L7186
if (jarPath.contains("/lib/")) {
// Windows or Linux, back up a directory to get the executable
folder = new File(jarPath, "../..").getCanonicalPath();
}It is assumed that core.jar is directly in the lib folder, in the above case sketchPath becomes rootOfProject/lib and dataPath becomes rootOfProject/lib/data.
For now I use this in my sketch:
public void fixSketchPath() {
try {
Field sketchPathField = PApplet.class.getDeclaredField("sketchPath");
sketchPathField.setAccessible(true);
String sketchPath = (String) sketchPathField.get(this);
if (sketchPath.contains("\\lib")) {
int libIndex = sketchPath.indexOf("\\lib");
sketchPath = sketchPath.substring(0, libIndex);
}
sketchPathField.set(this, sketchPath);
} catch (NoSuchFieldException | IllegalAccessException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}But this is of course more a work around then a fix.
