NetBeans run stops but doesnt crash

Technical Java

When I try to download my NetBeans Java code, it goes through the usual download sequence, but it only makes it up to here:

After that it just stops. It’s doesn’t stop the build with an error, it just doesn’t do anything any more. I’m not sure if the code is actually downloaded, but no more output appears no matter what I do (such as enabling the robot from the DS).
Any ideas?

We have seen the same thing. While downloading you see the green flashing by in the lower right, when it stops and a little bit of that bar on the left is blue, it should be done. We’ve run our robot after that.

Yeah this is happening to us too. I apparently loads but when we try the controls, nothing happens. All that’s left is the blue bar on the right… :confused:

This is seemingly normal lately, for me after that shows up the code runs fine. There’s a new image of the cRIO out (v28) though, see if that helps?

In NetBeans, the “Run” command is not supposed to complete - the Run task is watching for output from your program (System.out.println(), etc.)

If your robot doesn’t have any more output, then NetBeans will just sit there waiting.

If your robot is not moving, you can add some temporary println calls to see if:

  • your robot initializes correctly - finishes constructors, etc.
  • the robot changes to the disabled, autonomous, and teleop states.
  • print the status of joystick buttons and axis values
  • look for “watchdog” errors.
