PathWeaver not working

Technical Programming
1

PathWeaver used to work perfectly. However out of the blue it won’t let me build it anymore. Anytime I click on PathWeaver through the start tool I recieve an image that looks like this:

Someone else had this error on Chief Delphi and I tried to solve it that way (replacing the 2022 json file and png) but I still get this error

Can you provide us a little more information about your system (OS?), what version of WPILib you have, and what changed between the time you could and could not start PathWeaver?

3

I’m using Windows. I’m currently on 2022.1.1 and I haven’t done anything to modify the project it just stopped working

4

is that your current version of wpilib?

5

Just upgraded to 2022.3.1 to see if that resolved anything. It did not. The project doesn’t even launch now.

6

have you updated your roborio to the latest version?

7

I can try that. However, does pathweaver need the rio to be on the latest version? I don’t think it needs that to start the project.

8

are you referring to the code not deploying/building? Because the roborio needs to be synced up with the current version of wpilib for the code to deploy. At least from my experience.

9

I’m referring to starting the project through “Start Tool” on Vscode. That’s not working

10

when you updated to the new version of wpilib did you uninstall any other versions on your PC?

11

Can you open pathweaver from the terminal?

12

do you know the command to do that

13

I did not do that

14

make sure you’re opening the latest version of wpilib that you installed and/or uninstall other versions of wpilib on your pc

15

I’ve confirmed that I am opening the latest version

16

I don’t have a Windows computer to give you an exact command-line, but it would be something like this:

c:\users\public\wpilib\2022>jdk\bin\java.exe -jar tools\Pathweaver.jar

Something like that.

17

That’s assuming you have navigated to that directory in your command prompt first with:

> cd c:\users\public\wpilib\2022
18

when wpilib installed it should have out a folder of the tools on your desktop. Have you tried opening pathweaver from there?

19

I’m getting an error that says “A game already exists with the name Rapid React” when I launch from the tools folder

20

do you have a pathweaver project already named Rapid React from a different version of pathweaver?
