|URGENT| Eclipse Console Returns java.lang.RuntimeException upon Client Startup

[LordOfTheBlocks_]

Hello! I just started modding, and I've encountered a weird and VERY VERY annoying issue. For the first few hours my game would load fine, but at one point, it started crashing, and NO MATTER how much code I deleted or changed, the same crash occurred every time, even though I followed the modding tutorials to the LETTER. Here is the log:

If anyone can debug this and fix this I would be ETERNALLY grateful. I have literally been hitting my head against the wall and other painful actions out of frustration, so please give me speedy suggestions! I just started modding and I don't want to get discouraged.

[oldcheese]

Well, the error is definitely caused by "MWAB" which I guess is your Mod.  I'm guessing you're trying to use an object somewhere that isn't registered.  Or maybe you're trying to read something off a block that isn't instantiated yet, or something that's supposed to be there but isn't. It's hard to really debug without knowing the code. 

 

If you want to debug yourself, you can always add System.out.println's at certain points in your code, which should help you with seeing exactly what point of your code is throwing errors. Or you can try to post the code you're trying to execute in here, using the <> Symbol at the top of your editor which allows you to neatly paste code.

I explained how to debug this to someone else a while ago:

It looks like several exceptions occurred, but due to where they were thrown the name and message were logged without the stacktrace or cause. This makes it very difficult to see what the problem is by looking at the log.

 

The "Could not dispatch event" message is logged by the anonymous SubscriberExceptionHandler class created in the LoadController constructor. Set a breakpoint in the handleException method of the anonymous class and look at the Throwable argument and its cause in the debugger when the breakpoint is hit. This should explain what the problem is.

Thank you so much for your reply! Unfortunately, I can't make sense of what you're trying to say!  I can see the "Could not dispatch event" in my crash report, but nowhere (with ctrl + F) can I find "handleException", and it's not in my code either. Do you maybe have a fix for the issue, or were you helping me find what was wrong (because I still don't know what's wrong with my code)? Funny thing I tested, when I complete a whole new workspace, and setup the most basic code, no items/blocks/anything, then I ran MC. It worked, but I noticed that there were only 4 mods loaded. Turns out in my main class I had a semicolon at the end of my @Mod string, so it's not a item or block that's crashing my game, it's the simple presence of my mod!! This is incredibly frustrating! Any ideas???

Unfortunately, I can't make sense of what you're trying to say!  I can see the "Could not dispatch event" in my crash report, but nowhere (with ctrl + F) can I find "handleException", and it's not in my code either. Do you maybe have a fix for the issue, or were you helping me find what was wrong (because I still don't know what's wrong with my code)? Funny thing I tested, when I complete a whole new workspace, and setup the most basic code, no items/blocks/anything, then I ran MC. It worked, but I noticed that there were only 4 mods loaded. Turns out in my main class I had a semicolon at the end of my @Mod string, so it's not a item or block that's crashing my game, it's the simple presence of my mod!! This is incredibly frustrating! Any ideas???

 

The class you need to set a breakpoint in is a part of FML, not a part of your code.

 

Open the LoadController class, navigate to the constructor, set a breakpoint in the handleException method of the anonymous class and then run Minecraft in debug mode.

 

When the breakpoint is hit, look at the value of the Throwable argument of the method to see where it was thrown from.

Wow, ok, I don't quite understand that (I've had 1 day of modding experience) but I get the gist of what you're saying, I'll try it out. 

Thanks!

Edit: just realized you said the error is not in my code!! I looked around for anything that says "LoadController" in Eclipse, but can't find anything and Google hasn't helped either. Where do I go to put in that breakpoint method, and what is the exact code for that? (Sorry, I know VERY little java)

Again thank you so much for your help, I really hope I can get this mod on it's feet so my friends and I can mess around with it.

To open a class by name, use Navigate > Class (Ctrl-N) in IDEA or Navigate > Go To > Type... in Eclipse.

I see something in there about not being able to load the custom resource pack and another thing with the JSON file. "Line 6 column 6" I will look into that. Tell me if I'm missing something and how to fix it  

Thanks!!

I didn't ask you to post the new log, since setting the breakpoint won't actually change fix the problem; it will merely allow you to identify it. This new log has the same errors as the previous one.

When the breakpoint is hit, look at the value of the Throwable argument of the method to see where it was thrown from.

Yikes! See the forum rules (like the part that says "This is not a Java school...). Do yourself a favor and go learn enough Java so you are  never tempted to offer that excuse again. You should arrive here comfortable enough with Java and Eclipse (or other chosen IDE) so that you're up to learning Forge in the programming jargon that volunteers are using. If any of the words or concepts are mysterious to you, then you should go out of your way to Google and read before asking for more effort to explain prerequisites.

I'm sorry I'm not sure what you mean by "when the breakpoint is hit". Is the value of the Throwable argument in the log or in the class? This is what is in the LoadController class:

            }
        });
        this.masterChannel.register(this);

        state = LoaderState.NOINIT;

            FMLLog.log.fatal("Fatal errors were detected during the transition from {} to {}. Loading cannot continue", oldState, desiredState);

I set a breakpoint for the line FMLLog.log.error.....

But I'm not sure what to look for

Yikes! See the forum rules (like the part that says "This is not a Java school...). Do yourself a favor and go learn enough Java so you are  never tempted to offer that excuse again. You should arrive here comfortable enough with Java and Eclipse (or other chosen IDE) so that you're up to learning Forge in the programming jargon that volunteers are using. If any of the words or concepts are mysterious to you, then you should go out of your way to Google and read before asking for more effort to explain prerequisites.

Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't know that I had to know Java beforehand, it's just that my programming class doesn't start for a week and I doubt we will start off with Java. Any suggestions on where to go and learn the Java fundamentals? I want to get better, but I'm also very frustrated at my program not working, since it's supposedly not even my mod that's causing the error, but something with Forge or Eclipse or who knows....

I'm sorry I'm not sure what you mean by "when the breakpoint is hit". Is the value of the Throwable argument in the log or in the class? This is what is in the LoadController class: 

 

As jeffryfisher said, you need to read up on how Java and IDEs work. Oracle have a set of official Java tutorials here that might help. Your IDE should have some documentation on how its debugger works.

 

When you set a breakpoint on a line, you're telling the IDE to pause execution of the code once it reaches that line (and optionally meets some arbitrary conditions, but you don't need them here). This allows you to inspect things like arguments, local variables and fields and execute code in the context of the line it's paused at. Breakpoints are only hit when the program (Minecraft) is running in debug mode.

 

When the breakpoint is hit, you should be able to hover over the Throwable argument of the method in the anonymous class (the one you set the breakpoint in) and look at its value. Alternatively, there should be a window that shows you the values of various arguments, local variables and fields in the current context.

 

In this case, it's probably easier to change the breakpoint so it doesn't suspend (pause) execution and instead tell it to log the Throwable using FML's Logger when it's hit (i.e. call Logger#error(String, Throwable) on FMLLog.log) , this will print the full stacktrace to the log.

Some of the issues with your mod is that you are trying to register everything incorrectly:

1. You are only registering them on the client
2. You are registering them in init, not using the Register<Item> event
3. You are only registering the textures, not the blocks themselves on the client
4. Why, why, WHY are you using proxies just to call methods in other classes? Your project is a mess, just calling 1 method which simply calls another and another... Your Main class does nothing except call methods inside the proxies, which in turn mostly do nothing (you have the proxy do something on pre-init on the client, init on both and nothing else)! This makes everything almost unreadable.

LEARN JAVA. Then, come back and start from scratch, follow the example of other (well written) mods, and ask for help with forge modding issues when you need it.

One of the most important things to learn is how to understand your errors, learn to read and understand the stack trace, you shouldn't need to ask others what the problem is (Although in this case, as Choonster pointed out, you can't see the stacktrace for the actual error without setting a breakpoint).

my programming class doesn't start for a week

Patience young padawan, all will be revealed in its time. Learn programming first, in any language. If you want to learn more than is in the course syllabus, then go to your professor and request extra reading, online tutorials, personal instruction, guidance to the right follow-up course (including independent study) etc.

 

Speaking of guidance, that's what guidance counselors are for. Both professors and counselors should be thrilled to see a student latch onto an internal motivation, so you have a high probability of receiving advanced, possibly off-catalog instruction... but you need to pursue it. If you're burning my tax dollars, please get my money's worth by making my volunteer work here easier.

Well, thank you very much for this advice! I wrote my code based off of a YouTube Modding Tutorial, which would explain the ridiculous messiness. I guess this mod is gonna be put on halt until I know more Java and more about Forge. I'm gonna try to mess around with the code and try to do everything you all said, but if I can't figure it out, then I'll have to just wait until my brain is a little wiser in the area of code.

And thank you, sir, for your comment! I will definitely go out of my way to learn more from this coding class. As for your tax dollars, I'm not sure if they go towards dual-credit college students, but I will nonetheless make your volunteering worth the while!

 

Thank you all!
