Standalone build error in 9.0.2

Post by pink » Tue Mar 05, 2019 8:42 pm

So I'm trying to build a standalone, I've made numerous version of this application in the past.

All I am getting is a window that says "There was an error while saving the standalone application" and a lot of information, none of which really give me a clue as to what the error is... At first I thought it was an inclusion problem, but I tripled checked, and to this point I have included every library, widget etc but I keep getting the same error.

Since the last time I successfully saved this as a standalone here are the differences:
1. I added a widget that wasn't there previously (and it is definitely in the inclusions)
2. I made many of my scripts into script-only stack behaviors.
3. I am using Windows instead of a Mac. :(

What am I missing?

Here are screenshots of the errors I am seeing:

Hi.

Did you ever save successfully in 9.0.2?

Just trying to see what changed.

Yes, have built with 9.0.2, I also gave a try on a MacOS computer, and got the same result.

The two main differences:
1. Added a couple of widgets
2. Converted to script only stack behaviors

Okay, finally got a successful build, I got rid of all the script-only stacks and just made them regular scripts.

So the question is, why would that error out?

okay, so after experimenting way too much I've come to the following scenarios that are definitely repeatable:

in scenario A, I have a single "normal" stack with a stack script; this compiles
in scenario B, I have the same stack, but it uses an external script-only stack as the stack script; this fails to compile (and doesn't really give me an error message that explains why)

in both scenarios, the script is exactly the same; it just essentially resides in different locations

before I put in a bug report about this... does anyone have any notion as to why this would be happening, or what I could do to fix it?

Try including the library script in the Stacks pane in standalone settings, and also in the Copy Files pane.
