@Stephane M this might be of interest to you - https://www.mirkosertic.de/blog/2019/04/java-desktop-packaging/

@Stephane M @amanda.hinchman-dominguez If you guys are migrating to JFX 11 and you hit a roadblock, you can ping me. There might be a chance I left something undone on the

jdk10

branch.

@Stephane M Hmm.. that's weird. Can you send me the executable you created, or at least the modified launcher jar with the manifest in it so I can check what's going on?

wow seriously do we need an account with oracle now to download a jdk lmao why does oracle ruin everything

How can we bundle and create an executable of your tornadofx application? It looks like there is a project called fxlauncher (https://github.com/edvin/fxlauncher), but I’m searching more for a gradle task or a bash command to do that

Because at this point, I don't think we can get JDK 11 for free anymore

ORACLE RUINS EVERYTHING

TornadoFX 2.0 Snapshots are available here now 🙂 https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/no/tornado/tornadofx/2.0.0-SNAPSHOT/

I finally got on the event subscription train and I'm all about it

I have a semi large backend project going at work, after that I will convert the CRM to TornadoFX 2.0. That will probably reveal most significant issues, and also force me to get off my ass and fix them.. hehe

Showing datagrid not responding to clicks, but the standard javafx components (the treeview on the left) does respond to clicks

Desktop App analytics does seem poorly catered for, sadly. You could integrate with Google Analytics generalised 'Measurement API', here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/protocol/v1/

@Stephane M You do not need a

module-info.java

file. You just need to add the JavaFX modules to the module path.

I dont think it does. We’re missing a truck load of tests 😬

Ok, I'll add some

I've found Corretto 8 on Linux to work well too (and come with JFX bundled)

I'm implementing a #kodein feature to be able to use it as principal DI library. And I was wondering if I could access the whole Node hierarchy from anywhere to enhance part of my feature. But if not possible I would go without it

One two three four are centered (apparently not) on the first listmenu, but they're not in the second one. The only thing that's changed is the font size

You could probably recenter the text again

@Stephane M spent some time with not much luck - looks like the reason for the struggle is because listview is using a skin that calculates width/height at initialization I think - I don't like the idea of maybe having to somehow override the behavior for the skin but maybe I need to look at it again https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/blob/43d23f22b32ace0cfa8ae59fc5cefa68e6e4a911/src/main/java/tornadofx/ListMenu.kt

I'm trying to work out from the examples and docs I can find here and online how to test a TornadoFX

View

with TestFX. I'm not clear on the current way to setup the view properly in a JUnit 5 test. Any help would be appreciated.

@ExtendWith(ApplicationExtension::class)
class MyViewTest {

	@Start
	fun start(stage: Stage) {
		stage.scene = MyView().root.scene
		stage.show()
	}

	@Test
	fun `test my view`(robot: FxRobot) {
		println(robot.lookup(".canvas").queryAs(Canvas::class.java).width)
	}
}

class MyView : View() {

	override val root = group {
		canvas(800.0, 600.0)
	}
}

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.testfx.util.NodeQueryUtils.fromWindow(NodeQueryUtils.java:168)
	[...]
	at org.testfx.util.NodeQueryUtils.rootsOfWindows(NodeQueryUtils.java:56)
	at org.testfx.service.finder.impl.NodeFinderImpl.rootsOfWindows(NodeFinderImpl.java:94)
	at org.testfx.service.finder.impl.NodeFinderImpl.fromAll(NodeFinderImpl.java:59)
	at org.testfx.service.finder.impl.NodeFinderImpl.lookup(NodeFinderImpl.java:44)
	at org.testfx.api.FxRobot.lookup(FxRobot.java:186)

So my understanding is that since this view does not actually modify the model, we can peek at the underlying model directly instead of going through the ViewModel?

Hey, question regarding performance. Im creating a view around 100 times and the view is loaded through fxml so its quite slow. I read somewhere that reusing the FXMLLoader can improve performance and was wondering if tornadofx already had some sort of support for that

Just another coin for the community. https://sanyarnd.github.io/standardpaths/

StandardPaths

provides the utility class with the most common system- and user- related directories. Features • All major distributions: Windows, Linux, MacOS (not yet, no access to MacOS right now) • Ease of use • NIO-based • Lightweight (~10kb) • JDK8+ support Usage:

Path home = StandardPaths.home();
Path cache = StandardPaths.cache();

Someone mentioned

AppDirs

library few weeks ago, I thought about contributing (few advanced methods of retrieving paths with WinAPI), but

AppDirs

is JDK6+ based with WinXP support, while I'm trying to utilize JDK7 NIO as much as I could (e.g.

Path

better than

File

better than

String

) with modern OSes in mind. API difference:

Path home = StandardPaths.dataLocal().resolve("<author>/<app>/<ver>")

vs

Path home = Paths.get(AppDirsFactory.getInstance().getUserDataDir("<app>", "<ver>", "<author>", true)));

Update: Simplified test case... Continuing my TornadoFX/TestFX exploration above, I'm now trying to get TestFX to fire a button action. When I run my test I see the view appear, and I see the TestFX robot moving the cursor to the view's button. I presume that it clicks on it as well, but the expected action doesn't fire. If I launch the app and click the button manually, I do get the expected result. My suspicion is that I'm still not properly initializing TornadoFX or TestFX in the

@Start

method of my test, but I'm not sure what else needs to be done. Any help would be most appreciated. https://github.com/ianbrandt/tornadofx-test/blob/master/src/test/kotlin/com/ianbrandt/test/MyViewTest.kt
