always love how working with git takes more time. Now it's set up, I can keep running through these tests 🙂

@gtnarg An easy solution would be to create a validator manually and simply check the condition and only requires a value if the condition is met

@abhinay I'm trying to run the jdk10 branch but I'm getting "Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application" when I try to run some of the test applications - do I have to add

add-module=

manually?

@carldea We have a "jdk10" branch, which now actually targets jdk11. We won't rename the branch though, but the plan is to make what we now call jdk10 the new master, and create a jdk8 branch to keep track of the jdk8 compatible version of TornadoFX. The jdk11 compatible version will be versioned as 2.0. I don't think there is any point of migration via j9, we have to account for the same issues with the module system anyways. We will not be using the unnamed module. Language features is not an issue at all, since we're writing all the code in Kotlin 🙂

or you could help me with Graviton 🙂

@edvin I've encountered the same issue with "Error: Could not find or load main class" while using multimaven project. I'll attach video as reply.

Ran a JavaFX program on this without issue https://aws.amazon.com/corretto/

Java 8 will be around forever 🙂 hehe

Spending the weekend building a SolidWorks plugin in C#. How I miss TornadoFX.. 🙂

TornadoFX has built in support for i18n through resource bundles: https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/wiki/i18n

Offtopic: is anyone familiar with JNA? Do you need to free memory after? Like

val ptr = PointerByReference()
winapi_call(ptr)
// utilize ptr value
free(ptr) // ???

@alex I haven't done JNI in a while but you had to free up memory since you were out from under the JVM's memory management.

how can i update a progress bar while doing some async stuff? running the piece of code attached, the ui block is only ran once, and only at the very end instead of after each time the image is generated. i have added printout statements inside the async thread and it prints out every time for each image (in the for loop) but the ui thread is only called once

hey @edvin any idea when the new tornado version will support kotlin 1.3.x? 🙂

Another offtopic: is there a function/plugin for IDEA to sort methods/inner classes/enums alphabetically, like Eclipse's sort methods?

In plain JavaFX, I use a properties file with values that can be overridden by -D options. TornadoFX has a config file subsystem that should cover most cases https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx-guide/blob/master/part2/Config%20Settings%20and%20State.md

For anyone interested in general AI I'd like to share a Blog Post : https://medium.com/@deepmindsafetyresearch/scalable-agent-alignment-via-reward-modeling-bf4ab06dfd84?fbclid=IwAR1rXKOleUvVpwFzr1t98exCMn0lliqiUqUrWkMzNY_JTov5rV9xUiHkJ5M (I know it's unrelated to TornadoFX/Kotlin ... but I felt it might still be interesting, for someone.)

What's the best way to bind a color to the background of a view?

Is binding CSS properties in general possible?

@camdenorrb Here's the code for the binding I mentioned. It should work as expected, but I haven't tested it thoroughly. One caveat is that you can't use

property1.unbindBidirectional(property2)

, so you instead have to call

unbind()

on the returned binding. (This is due to private constructors in JavaFX and can't be worked around)

Use a model and inject in both views to avoid having hard link between the views, and no need for that pesky

singleAssign

. I also made sure the show/hide buttons are only visible when they make sense 🙂

@edvin as far as I remember, OSGi has quite a few flaws, and some of them (like broken lifecycle or dependency management not working in complex cases) are beyond repair capabilities. Is this technology still used for the new software?

@thomasnield I'm doing an SQLite based project and wanted to check what JDBC driver you're using - is it the Xerial one?

How can you add Nodes to the VIew/Fragment dynamically?

it.root.getChildList()?.add(Label("Test"))

seems to work (in console output with println), but I do not observe any changes

so i noticed that my javafx app is not closing.. do i need to kill as things i started with runAsync ?

I think we're headed for a Linux-like fragmentation. There's AdoptOpenJDK, Corretto, and Zulu's Azul to choose from for example. I myself am building my own distro that includes OpenJFX. I had hoped the Amazon one would work instead but was getting a glib DLL linker error.

Maybe things will open up with 11 but I have a customer still on 8

@edvin I'm trying to debug some odd behaviour in an

ListCellFragment

. I commented out the

cellFragment{...}

call on the ListView and reran the app to see what shows up in the listview. If I debug the layout I still see a bunch of installed `SmartListCell`s. What would be installing these in the ListView?
