What does this error message mean?

Eivind · September 28, 2015, 5:46pm

Getting this error and having a hard time figuring out what it means. Haven’t been able to reduce the test case to something reasonable. Is it something that’s obvious to you?

This is an internal error in the simulator; very likely a bug. I’ll raise an issue internally. Are you able to provide any example code that triggers this? If you need to share a larger body of code than what would fit in a post or something I’m available at jake at fusetools dot com.

Anders_Schau_Knatten · September 28, 2015, 6:36pm

And if you don’t want to send a zip by email, you can upload it privately to https://www.dropbox.com/request/Rx1QN3QluvxAJiyGJqrh, where it can only be downloaded by us.

Jake_Taylor · September 28, 2015, 6:50pm

Thanks Knatten, I forgot about that. That’s a much better option than sending it to my email

Eivind · September 28, 2015, 11:30pm

Hey,

I managed to reduce the test case. The dropbox link said that only Bent could access the files, and since I don’t think Bent is gonna debug this I sent it to Jake’s e-mail The code contains some keys, since it accesses Parse.

Jake_Taylor · September 29, 2015, 11:16pm

Cool, thanks. I just arrived in the US; I’ll have a look at this later in the evening

Eivind · October 11, 2015, 6:04pm

Still stuck with this.

Output from monitor in 0.8.2:

LOG: logging in
LOG: getObservable(email,fetching...)
LOG: creating observable
LOG: adding subscriber
LOG: suppressed
LOG: added subscriber
LOG: setParseObj
LOG: updateAllObservablesFromParseObj
LOG: suppressed
ERROR: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Have uploaded the testcase to the dropbox with name how_to_bug_2.zip

Anders_Lassen · October 11, 2015, 6:13pm

Hi Eivind,

This bug is probably related to a known issue in the simulator, that arises from using Change or Set animators on exotic property types unknown to the simulator.

This issue is being worked on. In the mean time, maybe this hint can help you isolate the part of your code that causes the problem.

Sorry for the wait!
