Cannot open projects with any Rive model/scene on Windows and Ubuntu

[paweljarosz]

As mentioned here https://forum.defold.com/t/rive-support-alpha-testing/69115/19
I cannot open an example project from this repository - Editor loads and closes abruptly. Last test with Defold alpha 1.3.3.

I tried today on Ubuntu and downloaded the newest alpha (1.3.3) for Linux and extension-rive-main, but the same - I open Defold, select to open game.project from extension-rive-main and it starts to load, but then abruptly closes, before the Editor is opened.

I'm not able to reproduce this using 1.3.2 stable or 1.3.3 alpha using macOS. Could you please launch the editor from a terminal and see if you get any additional clues from the log?

The same happened to me, but I got an error log
hs_err_pid5576.log
.

[paweljarosz]

For me, the editor quits abruptly, in terminal I can only see:
log_extenstion_rive.log

[britzl]

@ghostphoria it looks like you are using Windows. Is this correct?

@paweljarosz and @ghostphoria this happens for you when opening a project using extension-rive or when you open the extension-rive project itself?

[paweljarosz]

For me this happens when I choose to "Open from disk" and select game.project of extension-rive - a loading bar shows for few seconds and then disappear and there is no Defold process nor any popup (on Linux). On Windows there is a popup regarding "OpenJDK Platform binary stopped working".

Also, when I open an empty Defold project, Editor is opened, then I add some rive scene to assets and I try to open it in Editor - instantly closes with no error popup.

I can reproduce on Windows.

I'm using Windows 10. It's the extension-rive project itself.

I did an update today and downloaded a new extension-rive.zip. The same happens, after trying to open a game.project from extension-rive, the loading bars shows for a moment and abruptly quits. Logs (there were only two lines (87 and 88) added after opening the game.project). Ubuntu 20.04.

Still no luck with finding the issue, right? :( Still no running with newest extension and Defold (1.3.4)

[KL-B0]

I tried to add the extension-rive to an empty project on Defold 1.3.5.
The editor manages to open, but I get an error telling me the extension is incompatible with this version of the editor.

I'm on Fedora 36, and I managed to extract the log:

editor.log

The relevant bit seems to be the following:

2022-09-16 17:54:06.049 INFO  default    editor.workspace - {:line 330, :msg "Loading plugin defold-rive/editor/src/rive.clj"}
Performance warning, null:437:3 - case has int tests, but tested expression is not primitive.

I tried to downgrade the engine, but it crashes after a while. That's the same situation reported in the other posts.
What can I do to help fix this issue?

[britzl]

Thank you everyone for reporting this issue. We are working on an updated renderer that will be much faster and provide textured meshes. I can't guarantee that we'll fix this since the update to the new renderer will make this issue obsolete.

[KL-B0]

@britzl do you have a rough estimate of when it will reach release?

[britzl]

@KL-B0 we're working on a runtime update and should be done by end of next week.

Getting back after some time and updates to extension. I downloaded newest version (tag 0.13.0) - I can open now Rive extension without any problem on Windows, but there is another problem, when trying to run it:

Error: java.lang.AssertionError: Assert failed: Attempting to select nil values
(every? some? node-ids)

And in Build Errors there is:

/main/bones/bones.collection
The file 'null' could not be loaded

By clicking Report it opens defold's main repo, but I think it is related to extension-rive, but here's the table:
