Hi folks, trying to pass command line arguments to...

# tornadofx

[Vinicius Carvalho]

Hi folks, trying to pass command line arguments to my main class. But launch<TornadoApplication>() give compilation error, as if my TornadoApplication class was not of type javafx.application.Application, even when I extend the App super class. Any ideas on why is this happening? On OpenJDK 13

[Dustyn]

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
 launch<MyApp>(args)
}

you mean this doesnt work? Did you specify a wrapping class ?

class ApplicationRunner {
    companion object{
        @JvmStatic
        fun main(args: Array<String>) {
            MyApp().main(arrayOf())
        }
    }
}

[Vinicius Carvalho]

I did,

[Vinicius Carvalho]

I mean intellij can't find javafx.application.Application

[Vinicius Carvalho]

it's not available anywhere on my classpath

[Vinicius Carvalho]

I'm not a javafx developer, but seems that it was part of jfxrt and its not in any of the modules (javafx.*)

[Dustyn]

then you dependencies are not corrrect - the gradle i showed you should fix that problem - you can see in the gradle dependencies whether i was picked up or not

[Vinicius Carvalho]

I'm sorry but my dependencies are exactly like your gradle (actually I've added more javafx modules)

[Dustyn]

your intellij is not building with gradle then? check your build settings

[Dustyn]

what does ./gradlw build tells you ?

[Dustyn]

./gradlew build

[Vinicius Carvalho]

do you mind telling me which jar has javafx.appliaction.Application?

[Dustyn]

and you have to use gradle >= 6.0

[Dustyn]

for me Application is -> javafx-graphics-13.0.2-linux.jar

[Vinicius Carvalho]

thank you, I had it set for 11, and it wasn't there. I went around the args limitation, but bumped into issues with module system of java 9 and certain dependencies 😞 Trying to go around this time by following some articles on bundling platform specific jars to a fatjar model

[Dustyn]

does ./gradlew build works for you ?

[Dustyn]

i am still dodging the module system where i can, so i export to unnamed via the args in the gradle

[Dustyn]

@Vinicius Carvalho did you solve your problem?

[Vinicius Carvalho]

I had to skip the module system

[Vinicius Carvalho]

then it works

[Vinicius Carvalho]

and for that I just created a empty MainClass that launches a main that inherits from the App type

[Vinicius Carvalho]

because if the App type is the main class then we run into the issue of the modules trying to be loaded
