Help with Java Error

[cuthbertsj]

Hello,

I am fairly new to this process, I was going through the first IO tutorial and ran into a problem. My IDE crashed on me while I was building a project and now I am getting a weird error:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.embeddedmicro.mojo.project.Project.getModuleFromFile(Project.java:1021)
at com.embeddedmicro.mojo.project.Project.getModuleList(Project.java:1044)
at com.embeddedmicro.mojo.project.ProjectBuilder.checkForErrors(ProjectBuilder.java:544)
at com.embeddedmicro.mojo.project.ProjectBuilder.projectBuilder(ProjectBuilder.java:145)
at com.embeddedmicro.mojo.project.ProjectBuilder.access$1(ProjectBuilder.java:90)
at com.embeddedmicro.mojo.project.ProjectBuilder$2.run(ProjectBuilder.java:75)

I copied everything to a new project to see if that would fix it but had no luck.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Joe

Hey Joe,

Can you post your project files? Looks like you've discovered some bug.

Hello,

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I got side tracked with other projects.

Another newbie question: When I try and attach my project files it says they are not a supported type, how do I fix that?

Thanks,
Joe

So basically what is happening is half the time I go to build the project it gets too " ***Running bitgen " and then sits there for 15 to 20 minutes. At which point I try and hit cancel build. Then the program crashes and when I restart it I get all sorts of errors when trying to build a project again.

Did that make sense?

Hey Joe,

You need to zip the project files first.

This is really weird. Seems like something is wrong with ISE/PlanAhead. You can try fully removing it and redownloading/installing. Make sure to follow the random work-arounds outlined here https://embeddedmicro.com/pages/installing-ise
