Can't get LineChartBuilder to compile - javafx-2

I'm creating an application that uses JavaFX 2.2 and have run into a problem. I'm trying to use a LineChartBuilder, like so:
LineChart<Number, Number> chart = LineChartBuilder.<Number, Number>
create()
.XAxis(NumberAxisBuilder.create().label("X axis").build())
.YAxis(NumberAxisBuilder.create().label("Y axis").build())
.build();
However, I'm getting the following compiler errors:
java: reference to create is ambiguous, both method create() in
javafx.scene.layout.RegionBuilder and method <X,Y>create() in
javafx.scene.chart.LineChartBuilder match
and
java: cannot find symbol
symbol: method XAxis(javafx.scene.chart.NumberAxis)
location: class javafx.scene.layout.RegionBuilder<capture#1 of ?>
I know the first error means LineChartBuilder descends from RegionBuilder and both define a create() method, and the second means it's assuming the method comes from RegionBuilder and therefore cannot find the XAxis method. I've even tried casting it,
LineChart<Number, Number> chart =
((LineChartBuilder<Number, Number, ?>)
LineChartBuilder.<Number, Number>create())....
But I get the same compiler errors.
My question is, is this a mistake in LineChartBuilder or am I using it wrong? Maybe there's even a workaround?

Are you sure you are running with JavaFX 2.2 and not a JDK8 pre-release?
JDK8 will experience these issues with builders coded for JavaFX 2.2: see RT-24272.
Workaround is to use new LineChart(xaxis, yaxis). See also the Oracle forum thread post on this issue.

Groovy how can I build a custom library and use it in a project as dependency

I have a set of code procedures I use in a lot of places and I'm trying to basically move it to a library.
So I created my library with some unit test and everything was looking promising and at least working localy..
When I went to my project and deleted the files locally and then try to import them from my library as a dependency the code does not work.
I always get this kind of error
Class does not define or inherit an implementation of the resolved method abstract getProperty(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/Object; of interface groovy.lang.GroovyObject.
I'm definitely not an expert on groovy but basically I use it in my Jenkins and Gradle for pipelines and some basic packaging or environment deployments.
I can show my class:
class ConsoleRow implements Comparable {
...
final Integer priority
final String rowStatus
final String message
final String rowReportClass
ConsoleRow(Integer priority, String status, String msg, String rowC) {
this.priority = priority
this.rowStatus = status
this.message = msg
this.rowReportClass = rowC
}
#Override
int compareTo(Object o) {
return this.priority <=> ((ConsoleRow) o).priority
}
The line that gives me the error is this actual compareTo when trying to do the "this.priority"
Caused by: java.lang.AbstractMethodError: Receiver class com.abc.insight.jenkins.ConsoleRow does not define or inherit an implementation of the resolved method abstract getProperty(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/Object; of interface groovy.lang.GroovyObject.
at com.abc.insight.jenkins.ConsoleRow.compareTo(ConsoleRow.groovy:24)
at com.abc.insight.jenkins.ConsoleOutputHtmlBuilder.processOutput(ConsoleOutputHtmlBuilder.groovy:115)

at build_e548mc0tqjmi822clitlsycdk.runReport(C:\dev\repo\insight\insight-health-check\data-foundation\smoke-test\build.gradle:77)
The calling function is just trying to sort a list of those objects
List<ConsoleRow> outputRows = []
...
return outputRows.sort()
The part that gets me really confused is that if instead of importing the library as a dependency I just do this directly in this repo and put my sources in my buildSrc\src\main\groovy\com\abc\insight the code works fine...
So I really think it might be how I package and publish my library that might be wrong.
I'm really sure this is some basic error on my part because I never did a groovy library before but somehow I can't make it work.
It might be that my publication is just wrong, on my library side I'm using this plugins to do the publishing.
plugins {
id 'groovy'
id 'java-library'
id 'base'
}
publishing {
publications {
maven(MavenPublication) {
from components.java
}
}
}
I tried to change components.groovy but somehow it does not work.
Any ideas or tips, I think my question probably is showing some really lack of know-how on groovy but looking at the documentation and examples I could not figure it out.
Doing some debug in my IDE the compareTo that generates the exception looks like this.
public int compareTo(Object o) {
CallSite[] var2 = $getCallSiteArray();
return ScriptBytecodeAdapter.compareTo(this.priority, var2[0].callGroovyObjectGetProperty((ConsoleRow)ScriptBytecodeAdapter.castToType(o, ConsoleRow.class)));
}
I tried following this guide and code structure when doing moving the code to a library
https://docs.gradle.org/current/samples/sample_building_groovy_libraries.html
Thanks for any feedback
p.s: My code might look weird, I tried first to have everything with the def blablabla but I was having some issues with typecasting but I don't think this would be the reason for the problem I'm facing.
Anyway I got a look at the generated code in my IDE and I see a lot of get methods just no idea where they expected this getProperty from
Ok this was definitely a user error.
I am using distribution version of gradle 6.5.1
When I did the gradle init to bootstrap my project I was provided with the dependency of gradle groovy-all version 2.5.11
implementation group: 'org.codehaus.groovy', name: 'groovy-all', version: '2.5.11'
I thought that was a mistake and just updated to the latest version.
implementation group: 'org.codehaus.groovy', name: 'groovy-all', version: '3.0.9'
Now the problem is that the project in which I'm using the library is also running with gradle 6.5.1 so probably this version missmatch between compiple and usage was causing the problem.
By reverting to the correct version suggested by gradle the problem is gone.

Optaplanner multithreading attempt yielded "missing rebase" on custom move

I updated from 7.5 to 7.9 Optaplanner libraries for use with a variant of the nurserostering code, and used the release notes (for example, some method names changed) to successfully rebuild and re-run. Then, I added the "moveThreadCount" xml line (for multithreading) to my solver config xml.
<moveThreadCount>AUTO</moveThreadCount>
Running then immediately threw an error:
Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: The custom move class (class westgranite.staffrostering.solver.move.EmployeeChangeMove) doesn't implement the rebase() method, so multithreaded solving is impossible.
I do have a number of custom moves. I did not see any reference to the need to add a rebase() method in the release notes, nor do I see a reference to rebase() in the current (newer) documentation section on building custom moves.
https://docs.optaplanner.org/7.12.0.Final/optaplanner-docs/html_single/index.html#customMoves
Would someone please point me the right way? Thanks!
I would suggest reading this excellent blog post: http://www.optaplanner.org/blog/2018/07/03/AGiantLeapForwardWithMultithreadedIncrementalSolving.html as it gives a more in depth explanation of how multithreaded solving works.
I also suggest to read the javadoc on the rebase method, it should point you in the right direction: https://docs.optaplanner.org/7.12.0.Final/optaplanner-javadoc/org/optaplanner/core/impl/heuristic/move/Move.html#rebase-org.optaplanner.core.impl.score.director.ScoreDirector-
Here's an example:
public class CloudComputerChangeMove extends AbstractMove<CloudBalance> {
private CloudProcess cloudProcess;
private CloudComputer toCloudComputer;
...
#Override
public CloudComputerChangeMove rebase(ScoreDirector<CloudBalance> destinationScoreDirector) {
return new CloudComputerChangeMove(
destinationScoreDirector.lookUpWorkingObject(cloudProcess),
destinationScoreDirector.lookUpWorkingObject(toCloudComputer));
}
}

Xamarin Linker : Default constructor not found for type Cirrious.CrossCore.IoC.MvxPropertyInjector

With a skeleton project with FirstView from HotTuna package, and with Build linker behavior set to "Link all assemblies", I get the following error:
System.MissingMethodException: Default constructor not found for type Cirrious.CrossCore.IoC.MvxPropertyInjector
Using NuGet package v3.1.1 for all MvvmCross (4 packages)
LinkerPleaseInclude file does have the line
[MonoTouch.Foundation.Preserve(AllMembers = true)]
Using the latest stable build:
On PC:
Xamarin for VS 1.12.278
Xamarin.iOS 1.12.278
Mac:
Xamarin.iOS 7.2.2.2
Of course with Linker behavior of SDK only, it runs fine. Any suggestions anyone?
Solved; So, with the basic project, there were three consecutive errors in the following order:
System.MissingMethodException: Default constructor not found for type Cirrious.CrossCore.IoC.MvxPropertyInjector
can be resolved either by --linkskip=Cirrious.Core (ugly), or by including the following in LinkerPleaseInclude.cs
public void Include(MvxPropertyInjector injector){
injector = new MvxPropertyInjector ();
}
Next error is:
Cirrious.CrossCore.Exceptions.MvxException: Failed to construct and initialize ViewModel for type {0} from locator MvxDefaultViewModelLocator - check MvxTrace for more information
This one is difficult; Simple fix is to ofcourse to do a --linkskip=portableLibrary, or to crate an instance of the ViewModel somewhere (perhaps in LinkerPleaseInclude.cs); problem with the second approach at-least in my case is, most of my VM doesn't have a parameter less constructor, and obviously using IOC in this case wouldn't help.
Final Error:
System.ArgumentNullException: missing source event info in MvxWeakEventSubscription
Parameter name: sourceEventInfo
Either use --linkskip=System (ugly), or add the following to LinkerPleaseInclude.cs
public void Include(INotifyPropertyChanged changed)
{
changed.PropertyChanged += (sender, e) => {
var test = e.PropertyName;
};
}
This was enough for my basic project to run with LinkAllAssemblies, Using LLVM optimizer, and Use SGen collector.
Hope this will help anyone looking for a solution.
I hit this when my XCode was out of sync with the latest Xamarin on my Mac. Upgrading XCode to the latest resolved the problem.

How to force Monotouch AOT Compiler to see a nested generic method?

I've had to jump through hoops, but I've almost managed to get ServiceStack working on iOS with Monotouch in my project. One runtime JIT exception is holding out:
System.ExecutionEngineException: Attempting to JIT compile method 'ServiceStack.Text.Json.JsonTypeSerializer:GetWriteFn<int> ()' while running with --aot-only.
The offending code is quite simple:
internal WriteObjectDelegate GetWriteFn<T>()
{
return JsonWriter<T>.WriteFn();
}
As a test, I modified the SS code to make the internal methods and types public and included the following in the startup code of my project (to actually get called).
var ick = ServiceStack.Text.Json.JsonWriter<int>.WriteFn();
var erk = ServiceStack.Text.Json.JsonTypeSerializer.Instance.GetWriteFn<int>();
This still doesn't alert the AOT for some reason, I get the exception when the code above executes! Is this because the generic parameter is a value type? Or is it because these are static classes and methods? How can I force Monotouch to AOT the methods above?
The SS code in question is in JsonTypeSerializer.cs and JsonWriter.Generic.cs at:
https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack.Text/tree/master/src/ServiceStack.Text/Json
There are some generic limitations in monotouch now. I think you should check your code to one of them.

Possible C# 4.0 compiler error, can others verify?

Since I don't know exactly what part of it alone that triggers the error, I'm not entirely sure how to better label it.
This question is a by-product of the SO question c# code seems to get optimized in an invalid way such that an object value becomes null, which I attempted to help Gary with yesterday evening. He was the one that found out that there was a problem, I've just reduced the problem to a simpler project, and want verification before I go further with it, hence this question here.
I'll post a note on Microsoft Connect if others can verify that they too get this problem, and of course I hope that either Jon, Mads or Eric will take a look at it as well :)
It involves:
3 projects, 2 of which are class libraries, one of which is a console program (this last one isn't needed to reproduce the problem, but just executing this shows the problem, whereas you need to use reflector and look at the compiled code if you don't add it)
Incomplete references and type inference
Generics
The code is available here: code repository.
I'll post a description below of how to make the projects if you rather want to get your hands dirty.
The problem exhibits itself by producing an invalid cast in a method call, before returning a simple generic list, casting it to something strange before returning it. The original code ended up with a cast to a boolean, yes, a boolean. The compiler added a cast from a List<SomeEntityObject> to a boolean, before returning the result, and the method signature said that it would return a List<SomeEntityObject>. This in turn leads to odd problems at runtime, everything from the result of the method call being considered "optimized away" (the original question), or a crash with either BadImageFormatException or InvalidProgramException or one of the similar exceptions.
During my work to reproduce this, I've seen a cast to void[], and the current version of my code now casts to a TypedReference. In one case, Reflector crashes so most likely the code was beyond hope in that case. Your mileage might vary.
Here's what to do to reproduce it:
Note: There is likely that there are more minimal forms that will reproduce the problem, but moving all the code to just one project made it go away. Removing the generics from the classes also makes the problem go away. The code below reproduces the problem each time for me, so I'm leaving it as is.
I apologize for the escaped html characters in the code below, this is Markdown playing a trick on me, if anyone knows how I can rectify it, please let me know, or just edit the question
Create a new Visual Studio 2010 solution containing a console application, for .NET 4.0
Add two new projects, both class libraries, also .NET 4.0 (I'm going to assume they're named ClassLibrary1 and ClassLibrary2)
Adjust all the projects to use the full .NET 4.0 runtime, not just the client profile
Add a reference in the console project to ClassLibrary2
Add a reference in ClassLibrary2 to ClassLibrary 1
Remove the two Class1.cs files that was added by default to the class libraries
In ClassLibrary1, add a reference to System.Runtime.Caching
Add a new file to ClassLibrary1, call it DummyCache.cs, and paste in the following code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Runtime.Caching;
namespace ClassLibrary1
{
public class DummyCache<TModel> where TModel : new()
{
public void TriggerMethod<T>()
{
}
// Try commenting this out, note that it is never called!
public void TriggerMethod<T>(T value, CacheItemPolicy policy)
{
}
public CacheItemPolicy GetDefaultCacheItemPolicy()
{
return null;
}
public CacheItemPolicy GetDefaultCacheItemPolicy(IEnumerable<string> dependentKeys, bool createInsertDependency = false)
{
return null;
}
}
}
Add a new file to ClassLibrary2, call it Dummy.cs and paste in the following code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using ClassLibrary1;
namespace ClassLibrary2
{
public class Dummy
{
private DummyCache<Dummy> Cache { get; set; }
public void TryCommentingMeOut()
{
Cache.TriggerMethod<Dummy>();
}
public List<Dummy> GetDummies()
{
var policy = Cache.GetDefaultCacheItemPolicy();
return new List<Dummy>();
}
}
}
Paste in the following code in Program.cs in the console project:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using ClassLibrary2;
namespace ConsoleApplication23
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Dummy dummy = new Dummy();
// This will crash with InvalidProgramException
// or BadImageFormatException, or a similar exception
List<Dummy> dummies = dummy.GetDummies();
}
}
}
Build, and ensure there are no compiler errors
Now try running the program. This should crash with one of the more horrible exceptions. I've seen both InvalidProgramException and BadImageFormatException, depending on what the cast ended up as
Look at the generated code of Dummy.GetDummies in Reflector. The source code looks like this:
public List<Dummy> GetDummies()
{
var policy = Cache.GetDefaultCacheItemPolicy();
return new List<Dummy>();
}
however reflector says (for me, it might differ in which cast it chose for you, and in one case Reflector even crashed):
public List<Dummy> GetDummies()
{
List<Dummy> policy = (List<Dummy>)this.Cache.GetDefaultCacheItemPolicy();
TypedReference CS$1$0000 = (TypedReference) new List<Dummy>();
return (List<Dummy>) CS$1$0000;
}
Now, here's a couple of odd things, the above crash/invalid code aside:
Library2, which has Dummy.GetDummies, performs a call to get the default cache policy on the class from Library1. It uses type inference var policy = ..., and the result is an CacheItemPolicy object (null in the code, but type is important).
However, ClassLibrary2 does not have a reference to System.Runtime.Caching, so it should not compile.
And indeed, if you comment out the method in Dummy that is named TryCommentingMeOut, you get:
The type 'System.Runtime.Caching.CacheItemPolicy' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Runtime.Caching, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.
Why having this method present makes the compiler happy I don't know, and I don't even know if this is linked to the current problem or not. Perhaps it is a second bug.
There is a similar method in DummyCache, if you restore the method in Dummy, so that the code again compiles, and then comment out the method in DummyCache that has the "Try commenting this out" comment above it, you get the same compiler error
OK, I downloaded your code and can confirm the problem as described.
I have not done any extensive tinkering with this, but when I run & reflector a Release build all seems OK (= null ref exception and clean disassembly).
Reflector (6.10.11) crashed on the Debug builds.
One more experiment: I wondered about the use of CacheItemPolicies so I replaced it with my own MyCacheItemPolicy (in a 3rd classlib) and the same BadImageFormat exception pops up.
The exception mentions : {"Bad binary signature. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131192)"}
