Build is producing a .momd in the bundle that is missing the .mom file - core-data

I have an app that has been running fine on the iPhone simulator for some time. Recently, I decided I wanted to re-use the data model and related classes in another project - so I dragged them from this project window to the other then told Xcode not to copy, just to make references. At first this didn't work so I jumped through a number of hoops to try to fix it (I may be asking more about that in another post). After all this, I re-compiled and tried to run the original app -- and it's not working any more. On further investigation, I discovered that when I re-compile the original app, I end up with a bundle that contains a .momd package but it contains only a Versioninfo.plist file - no .mom file, no .omo file like I'm expecting to see. I don't recall making any changes to the original app. I don't get any warnings. I just get an incomplete .momd package (and, not surprisingly, my app now crashes).
What's going on here?
BTW, the app now crashes with this message:
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '* -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil'
Which I get when executing this line of code:
self.productRegistry = [[UIManagedDocument alloc] initWithFileURL:self.productRegistryURL];

I figured this out by looking more closely at the file locations in the project directory using Finder. In the Xcode window, everything looks normal but in the actual project directory I found that the .datamodeld package had ended up at the top level of the project directory -- at the same level as the project package itself. Xcode apparently did not like this but unfortunately it did not complain -- it just created a partial build output. Once I moved the .datamodeld package into the same folder as the rest of the project's code, everything worked just fine.
This would appear to be just a quirk. I would expect that Xcode would either see that all is well and build correctly OR it would see that things weren't quite as they should be and fail. In this case, it did not build correctly but was silent about it.
Hope this answer helps someone else someday.

Angular Build - Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined

I have managed to build my angular app out as a dev build. I haven't done it as a production build yet as it gives me a few errors and i just need to test the dev build.
The dev build process goes fine, no errors or anything. I then use the files from the dist folder in a nginx docker container to host the files.
The problem is nothing is displayed but a white page and in the console i get an error saying 'Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined'. The full message below doesn't seem to point to anything i have written and i've spent several hours searching online but can't find anything on this problem.
I've tried a few different things such as running 'npx ivy-ngcc' which i read manually compiles some stuff. Is there anyway i can get more details on the error to see if it's something i have done?
UPDATE
So i have restored the line that i commented out in main.ts as mentioned in the comments below. I have also tried 'ng build --aot' as suggested which presents me with a series of errors that all seem to relate to devextreme components that are used. I find this strange as i started the project with the devextreme angular starter project from github.
i get messages such as:
'dx-scroll-view is not a valid HTML element'
'node_modules/devextreme-angular/ui/drawer.d.ts - error: appears in
the NgModule.imports of SideNavOuterToolbarModule, but could not be resolved to an NgModule class'
If you go in the devtools and click on Sources, "Don't pause on exceptions" and check "Pause on caught expecptions" and continue until you get the "id error" you will find what module the error is thrown. In my case was a third party library called 'ngx-card/ngx-card' and it's module was the cause of the error (CardModule). Hope this will help find at least the cause of the error
I managed to solve the problem by disabling ivy in the angular compilation options. As soon as i did that it worked building both dev and production versions and is now working perfectly within Nginx.
Thanks to everyone who offered help :)
In tsconfig.json of your Angular project, put this to disable Ivy, the new Angular template engine
{
...
"angularCompilerOptions": {
"enableIvy": false
}
}
Typically, if it's not something that you've written, it tends to be an issue w/ your implementation - i.e. "Visiting a food vendor and ordering a food item they don't provide".
I know it's not a specific answer, but ensuring that you have appropriately configured things in your app.module would be a good first step. Perhaps attempting to build w/ AOT will also give you some more verbose failures that stem from attempting to build out.
Hopefully this helps another poor soul.
To anyone using devextreme, make sure you update your version to at least 19.2.5
https://github.com/DevExpress/devextreme-angular/issues/975#issuecomment-580172291
Starting with version 19.2.5 we support the IVY compiler.
I had the same issue and fixed it by changing from
loadChildren: './app/page/account/account.module#AccountModule'
to
loadChildren: () =>
import('./app/page/account/account.module').then(
(m) => m.AccountModule
)
in app-router.module.ts
The root cause of your error is very likely to be a module that you needed to load explicitly but didn't, or a circular reference in your own modules. Rodrigo has a good answer but to be more specific, you need to find the registerNgModuleType function in Angular's core.js and set a conditional breakpoint on the first line. The condition should be !ngModuleType || !ngModuleType.ɵmod. (You can set a conditional breakpoint in most modern browsers by right-clicking the line number.)
Once you've paused execution just before the exception happens, you can look at the value of ngModuleType if it's not undefined, or walk up a frame or two in the scope and see what the value of imports was.
For me, this issue occurred while using Storybook.
The reason it happened was because of the way I was precompiling the node modules. I was doing:
Incorrect
ngcc --properties es2015 browser module main --first-only
Correct
ngcc
Using this approach fixed it

How Do We Wire Up Converted Unit Tests in Doppl?

I am attempting to replicate what I see in PartyClickerSample in a fresh project, and am having difficulty with the pod and using it from Swift to set up the unit tests.
Based on PartyClickerSample, AFAICT, what I am supposed to do is put a Podfile like this in the iosTest/ directory (that contains a newly-created Xcode project):
platform :ios, '9.0'
target 'iosTest' do
use_frameworks!
pod 'testdoppllib', :path => '../app/build'
end
Then:
In AppDelegate.swift, import testdoppllib and call DopplRuntime.start() from the application() func
In ViewController.swift, import testdoppllib and call runResource() on... something that I can't quite figure out what it maps to
However, I can't even get to the latter bullet, as things start going sideways from the outset.
pod install seems to work as expected:
Analyzing dependencies
Fetching podspec for `testdoppllib` from `../app/build`
Downloading dependencies
Installing testdoppllib (0.1.0)
Generating Pods project
Integrating client project
[!] Please close any current Xcode sessions and use `iosTest.xcworkspace` for this project from now on.
Sending stats
Pod installation complete! There is 1 dependency from the Podfile and 1 total pod installed.
However, when I re-open the workspace:
In the Xcode tree thingy, Pods/Products/ shows testdoppillib.framework in red (which doesn't look good) and also shows Pods_iosTest.framework in black
If I try import testdoppillib, I get a message saying that Xcode does not recognize that name
If I try import Pods_iosTest, Xcode seems to find it, but then it does not recognize DopplRuntime.start()
So, what are the steps, in a Cocoapods-based Doppl setup, for starting the Doppl-created unit tests in Xcode?
Running pod install with set up the testdoppllib framework, but doesn't actually build it. One of the frustrating parts of the cocoapods process is you'll need to run build in Xcode, which should first build testdoppllib, then your Swift code.
To summarize, testdoppllib shows up as red, but it's most likely OK and just needs to be built. Once it's build, your Swift code should see "import testdoppllib"
For runResource, that's a little more complicated.
The Doppl gradle plugin writes a file called dopplTests.txt to the build/j2objcSrcGenTest directory. That's a listing of all the test classes. You need to add that file to Xcode, then pass in that name to DopplJunitTestHelper.runResource.
There's probably a way to set that up with cocoapods, but we haven't done that yet.

VS2012 & 2013: Can't publish Services project - specified path is too long

I have a VS2012 solution, containing 10 projects, and suddenly, I can no longer publish my Services project to any folder.
When I try to publish to D:\temp, I get this error:
The expression "[System.IO.Path]::GetFullPath(obj\Release%25252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252528Prod%25252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252529\)" cannot be evaluated. The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets
Huh ?
VS2012 (with update 4) seems to have taken my configuration name "Release(Prod)" and completely messed it up, causing the GetFullPath to produce too long a path name.
How the heck can I fix this ?
Out of desperation, I tried to build and publish the same project in VS2013 - and it had the same error message.
One of my colleagues said he'd seen the same thing, but had fixed it by removing the spaces from his configuration name. I tried this, which is why my configuration name is now "Release(Prod)" rather than "Release (Prod)", but it made no difference.
I did also open the file which this error is suggesting is the cause of the error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets
..and noticed that there's something in there concerning the AnyCPU platform name. I have tried getting my Services project to use "AnyCPU" and "Any CPU" (depressed sigh) but neither seems to make any difference.
<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(IntermediateOutputPath)' == '' ">
<IntermediateOutputPath Condition=" '$(PlatformName)' == 'AnyCPU' Or '$(PlatformName)' == ''">$(BaseIntermediateOutputPath)$(Configuration)\</IntermediateOutputPath>
. . .
</PropertyGroup>
Has anyone else seen this issue ?
(A little bit later..)
This is so odd (and frustrating).
My Solution has 5 configurations - the default Debug and Release ones, plus extra configurations for Test, PreProduction and Production environments.
If I select any of these three configurations containing brackets, I get this ridiculous "The specified path is too long" error, as VS2012 corrupts the pathname (as shown in my first screenshot above).
I can't help wondering... is this some kind of VS2012 bug, handling spaces or brackets in the configuration name ?
I can deploy to a path directly with (, (, )) in the Target Location on tyhe Connection tab when publishing to the file system (i.e. not building a path from the configuration name) - but that is not a solution to targeting different locations based on the Configuration.
If you want to keep special characters in the configuration name, but specify a path to the deployment folder that will not cause and issue this post might help: Visual Studio: How to properly build and specify the configurations and platforms for x64 and x86
Specifically play with the settings in here:
In the project properties page, select the various permutations of
Debug/Release and x86/x64 in the solution dropdowns. Make sure the
target processor is set correctly (it should be, but I found instances
when they were not, probably because of my previous attempts). Also,
set the output directory. That should be okay and automatic
(/bin/x86/Debug, etc.). If not, fix.
Looking at what is actually seems to be going on is also potentially useful:
Looking at the numbers inserted:
%25 is an encoded %,
%28 is an encoded (
%29 is an encoded )
Looking at the path:
obj\Release%252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525***28***Prod%252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525***29***)
What I think is happening:
So that seems like a good clue that these are being URL or XML encoded. What appears to be happening is that the ( is being encoded as %28 and then the % is being recursively encoded as %25 - generating an infinite %252525252525252525....
A more interesting question is actually why it stops creating 25's from the %'s with this bug (both times it stops creating 25's at 214 characters including the % and the 28 / 29 - not a very interesting number).
Looking at the file C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets you reference - it makes sense that these strings are being encoded for XML. I would say this is definitely a bug... I have no suggestions for a fix.
Well, I'm going to accept Matthew's answer as the "Accepted Answer".
Thank you for your help.
This is a really odd problem though, and I'm amazed no one else has reported this elsewhere.
Summary of problem (in case Microsoft is interested, or if anyone tries to Google this issue in the coming years)
With a configuration name of "Release (Prod)", I could happily build my code, run it locally, but when I tried to publish it, even to a local drive, I'd get this message:
It's an odd exception, because the Build did create the "obj\Release (Prod)" folder, without any issues. It's just the Publish which seemed to be looking in the wrong place for it.
Following the advice given in this thread, today I attempted to create a new configuration, with the same settings, but without a space in the name: "Release(SecondProd)". Look what happens:
Interestingly, despite this error, it did create a new configuration with this name.
Anyway, I recreated a new configuration, called it ReleaseProduction, and it worked fine.
Of course, I needed to create new "web.config" Transformation for this name, as this doesn't get automatically copied when you create a new configuration based on an old one.
One last thought (just to confuse matters worse !)
When I posted this plea-for-help, the Services project in my Solution refused to publish to a local drive, but my web site would publish okay.
Today, two days since I last attempted a website Publish, I found that the website also now produces the same GetFullPath exception. Nothing's changed ! We use TFS, I have done a file compare with my project files today against two days ago, and they're identical !
It's a really bizarre bug in VS2012 & VS2013.
Btw, this solution & the projects in it, were originally a VS2010 project. They were upgraded to VS2012 over a year ago, but this Publish problem only started happening recently. I'm not sure if the problem is related to using upgraded VS projects.
Again, thanks for your help.
Now I have some Test, PreProd & Production configurations to recreate !
Maybe I'll grab a beer first..
Summarizing and completing Matthew's answer:
Cause: You have configurations with chars that require URI-encoding - in your case, '(' and ')'.
Workaround: Rename those configs.
What happens: Presumably web deploy URI-encodes the path, replacing % => %25, ( => %28, ) => %29. It does so over and over:
obj\Release(Prod)
obj\Release%28Prod%29
obj\Release%2528Prod%2529
obj\Release%252528Prod%252529
...
Until the path exceeds MAX_PATH=260.
I ran into the same thing and all though it does not resolve the issue I found that if I switch the solution configuration away from a build containing "(" or ")"
Then use the appropriate build in the publish dialog it will not error out.

Runtime error R6034 in embedded Python application

I am working on an application which uses Boost.Python to embed the Python interpreter. This is used to run user-generated "scripts" which interact with the main program.
Unfortunately, one user is reporting runtime error R6034 when he tries to run a script. The main program starts up fine, but I think the problem may be occurring when python27.dll is loaded.
I am using Visual Studio 2005, Python 2.7, and Boost.Python 1.46.1. The problem occurs only on one user's machine. I've dealt with manifest issues before, and managed to resolve them, but in this case I'm at a bit of a loss.
Has anyone else run into a similar problem? Were you able to solve it? How?
The problem was caused by third-party software that had added itself to the path and installed msvcr90.dll in its program folder. In this case, the problem was caused by Intel's iCLS Client.
Here's how to find the problem in similar situations:
Download Process Explorer here.
Start your application and reproduce runtime error R6034.
Start Process Explorer. In the "View" menu go to "Lower Pane View" and choose "DLLs".
In the top pane, locate your application and click on it. The bottom pane should show a list of DLLS loaded for your application.
Locate "msvcr??.dll" in the list. There should be several. Look for the one that is not in the "winsxs" folder, and make a note of it.
Now, check the path just before your application runs. If it includes the folder you noted in step 5, you've probably found the culprit.
How to fix the problem? You'll have to remove the offending entry from the path before running your program. In my case, I don't need anything else in the path, so I wrote a simple batch file that looks like this:
path=
myprogram.exe
That's it. The batch file simply clears the path before my program runs, so that the conflicting runtime DLL is not found.
This post elaborates on #Micheal Cooper and #frmdstryr and gives a better alternative than my earlier answer.
You can put the following in front of a python script to purge the problematic entries.
import os, re
path = os.environ['PATH'].split(';')
def is_problem(folder):
try:
for item in os.listdir(folder):
if re.match(r'msvcr\d\d\.dll', item):
return True
except:
pass
return False
path = [folder for folder in path if not is_problem(folder)]
os.environ['PATH'] = ';'.join(path)
For the vim with YouCompleteMe case, you can put the following at the top of your vimrc:
python << EOF
import os, re
path = os.environ['PATH'].split(';')
def is_problem(folder):
try:
for item in os.listdir(folder):
if re.match(r'msvcr\d\d\.dll', item):
return True
except:
pass
return False
path = [folder for folder in path if not is_problem(folder)]
os.environ['PATH'] = ';'.join(path)
EOF
A more general solution is:
import os
os.environ['path'] = ";".join(
[path for path in os.environ['path'].split(";")
if "msvcr90.dll" not in map((lambda x:x.lower()), os.listdir(path))])
(I had the same problem with VanDyke SecureCRT)
(This might be better as a comment than a full answer, but my dusty SO acct. doesn't yet have enough rep for that.)
Like the OP I was also using an embedded Python 2.7 and some other native assemblies.
Complicating this nicely was the fact that my application was a med-large .Net solution running on top of 64-Bit IIS Express (VS2013).
I tried Dependency Walker (great program, but too out of date to help with this), and Process Monitor (ProcMon -- which probably did find some hints, but even though I was using filters the problems were buried in thousands of unrelated operations, better filters may have helped).
However, MANY THANKS to Michael Cooper! Your steps and Process Explorer (procexp) got me quickly to a solution that had been dodging me all day.
I can add a couple of notes to Michael's excellent post.
I ignored (i.e. left unchanged) not just the \WinSxS\... folder but also the \System32\... folder.
Ultimately I found msvcr90.dll being pulled in from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x64
Going through my Path I found the above and another, similar directory which seemed to contain 32-bit versions. I removed both of these, restarted and... STILL had the problem.
So, I followed Michael's steps once more, and, discovered another msvcr90.dll was now being loaded from:
C:\Program Files\Intel\iCLS Client\
Going through my Path again, I found the above and an (x86) version of this directory as well. So, I removed both of those, applied the changes, restarted VS2013 and...
No more R6034 Error!
I can't help but feel frustrated with Intel for doing this. I had actually found elsewhere online a tip about removing iCLS Client from the Path. I tried that, but the symptom was the same, so, I thought that wasn't the problem. Sadly iCLS Client and OpenCL SDK were tag-teaming my iisexpress. If I was lucky enough to remove either one, the R6034 error remained. I had to excise both of them in order to cure the problem.
Thanks again to Michael Cooper and everyone else for your help!
Using Michael's answer above, I was able to resolve this without a bat file by adding:
import os
# Remove CLS Client from system path
if os.environ['PATH'].find("iCLS Client")>=0:
os.environ['PATH'] = "".join([it for it in os.environ['PATH'].split(";") if not it.find("iCLS Client")>0])
to the main python file of the application. It just makes sure system path didn't include the paths that were causing the issue before the libraries that loaded the dll's were imported.
Thanks!
This post elaborates on #Micheal Cooper and #frmdstryr.
Once you identified the problematic PATH entries, you can put the following in front of a
python script, assuming here that iCLS Client and CMake are problematic.
import os
for forbidden_substring in ['iCLS Client', 'CMake']:
os.environ['PATH'] = ';'.join([item for item in os.environ['PATH'].split(';')
if not item.lower().find(forbidden_substring.lower()) >= 0])
Concerning the vim with YouCompleteMe case, you can put the following at the top of your vimrc:
python << EOF
import os
for forbidden_substring in ['iCLS Client', 'CMake']:
os.environ['PATH'] = ';'.join([item for item in os.environ['PATH'].split(';')
if not item.lower().find(forbidden_substring.lower()) >= 0])
EOF
If none of these solutions is applicable for you, you can try to remove the problem causing
entries from you PATH manually, but you want to make sure you don't break anything else on your
system that depends on these PATH entries. So, for instance, for CMake you could try to remove
its PATH entry, and only put a symlink (or the like) pointing to the cmake.exe binary into some
other directory that is in your PATH, to make sure cmake is still runnable from anywhere.
Thanks for the solution. I just little modified this sample code as the path variable in my system contains the string "ICLS CLIENT" instead of "iCLS Client"
import os
# print os.environ['PATH']
# Remove CLS Client from system path
if os.environ['PATH'].find("iCLS Client") >= 0 or os.environ['PATH'].find("ICLS CLIENT") >= 0:
os.environ['PATH'] = "".join([it for it in os.environ['PATH'].split(";") if not (it.find("iCLS Client")>0 or it.find("ICLS CLIENT")>0)])
I also had the same problem with embedding Python27.dll from a C-program using the Universal-CRT.
A <PYTHON_ROOT>\msvcr90.dll was the offender. And <PYTHON_ROOT> is off-course in my PATH. AFAICS the only users of msvcr90.dll are the PyWin32 modules
<PYTHON_ROOT>\lib\site-packages\win32\win32*.pyd.
The fix was just move <PYTHON_ROOT>\msvcr90.dll to that directory.
PS. PyWin32 still has this as an issue 7 years later!
In my case the rebuilding of linked libraries and the main project with similar "Runtime execution libraries" project setting helped. Hope that will be usefull for anybody.
In my case, I realised the problem was coming when, after compiling the app into an exe file, I would rename that file. So leaving the original name of the exe file doesn't show the error.
The discussion on this page involves doing things way far advanced above me. (I don't code.) Nevertheless, I ran Process Explorer as the recommended diagnostic. I found that another program uses and needs msvcr90.dll in it's program folder. Not understanding anything else being discussed here, as a wild guess I temporarily moved the dll to a neighboring program folder.
Problem solved. End of Runtime error message.
(I moved the dll back when I was finished with the program generating the error message.)
Thank you all for your help and ideas.
Check any library having user specified path by Process Explorer. It is not necessary must be msvcr??.dll
I solved same problem except I run Python 3. Present solutions not helped because they not indicate unusual paths of msvcr90.dll. I debug code step by step inside till error dialog appears after rows (called when my code was importing PyTables module):
import ctypes
ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary('libbz2.dll')
Then Process Explorer helps to find path to old libbz2.dll caused the problem (steps 3, 4 of #Micheal Cooper algorithm)
Adding this answer for who is still looking for a solution. ESRI released a patch for this error. Just download the patch from their website (no login required), install it and it will solve the problem. I downloaded the patch for 10.4.1 but there are maybe patches for other versions also.

DoNotChange was not found when adding new files

When I attempt to add a new file to the solution -- even a general C# empty class, I get an error:
The requested value 'DoNotChange' was not found. See screenshot.
This just started happening yesterday. I installed the monotouch-4.0.0.dmg, but have since rolled back to 3.2.6, but the problem remains.
I think there may be a fairly widespread issue, as this new StackOverflow question seems eerily similar.
Anyone have any ideas on how to recover?
Environment:
MonoTouch Professional 3.2.6 (4.0.0)
MonoDevelop 2.4.2 release 20402004
OSX 10.6.7
UPDATE: On a whim I tried to create a new empty .cs file outside of MT, and then add it to the project -- that worked, so at least there is a temporary workaround.
It looks like your formatting policy options are triggering a bug in the code formatter. Try resetting it by removing the file ~/.config/MonoDevelop/DefaultPolicies.xml
