Crash on launch

Scripting Forums AppleScriptObjC and Xcode
#1

I can’t seem to find my error for an app that was working. Sadly, I’ve undone the changes I remember making, but still get the crash. Anyone have any insight into this crash code? Or know where to get a more useful error?

What’s your code doing when it crashes? Anything else in Console?

#3

The app won’t launch. Standalone, it bounces in the dock once and dies, though it leaves a crash report which I can find nothing relevant in. Via XCode, it dies on launch.

Under 'applicationsWillFinishLaunching, there’s not much going on and nothing that I’ve changed recently. Just setting a few variables.

My backup copy is from earlier in the day - I lost 4 or 5 hours of work which is not a big deal as I’m not on a timeline on this project. But what bugs me more is how I can’t seem to find the error.

Any other thoughts?

#4

Did you try a project Clean? Did you change any build settings?

#5

I did try ‘Clean’. I also threw away that whole build folder and let it rebuild everything there. No change. I did not change any project settings.

What I had been doing all afternoon was making changes, then build for distribution ‘profiling?’ Then I would move that to my other machine for testing. Then repeat. I hadn’t done a ‘Build & Run’ using the play button in a while and when I did, I got the error previously mentioned. And obviously, the current distributable copy doesn’t work either.

#6

I’ve got an idea on what caused the problem as I’ve run into it again, but this time I know the changes I made :stuck_out_tongue:

Whenever I add the code below, I get the crash
if chosenTeam is “Team1”
set my team1 to true
end if

chosenTeam is set via a pop-up menu so I suspect it is some type of cocca format variable (NSText?) and not a string.

I changed it to the following and it works well now.
if (chosenTeam as string) is “Team1”
set my team1 to true
end if

I post here for reference of others (or myself) that may run into this situation…
