System.TypeInitializationException on latest commit. about nez

[prime31]

Thats a bit odd. I can't seem to repro this. Moreover I would expect the issue to happen in the TouchInput class.. If you stick a breakpoint in there is that method returning?

Okay so it tries to run:
_isConnected = TouchPanel.GetCapabilities().IsConnected;
and fails because user32.dll is not found :/

I've tried to search for a similar problem but seems no-one has had this happen?

[brandc87]

Okay this fixes it, seems DesktopGL doesn't like TouchPanel on OS X not sure about windows? Although you are using OS X are you not?

#if !___IOS___ || !___ANDROID___ || !FNA
            _isConnected = false;
#else
            _isConnected = TouchPanel.GetCapabilities().IsConnected;
#endif

I am indeed on OS X and it seems to work for me. Very odd. I'll wrap it up in the next commit just to be safe. The only downside is that it will end up requiring separate DLLs if not building from source for iOS/Android vs desktop. I think MonoGame's next release will finally have runtime platform check so that would solve it more gracefully.

Possibly something different in Xamarin 6.0 to 6.0.1? That's the only thing that is different between our setups that I can think of.

I just pushed a commit that does things a bit differently and requires manually enabling touch support. See if it solves it for you.

[brandc87]

Yeah working fine with that commit! Will test a touch device shortly but only had issue's on my mac regarding this. Thanks.

It seems to work on Mac, Windows and iOS for me so hopefully this does the trick.

Hello,

This issue is plaguing me. I'm new to Monogame and C#, but not Visual Studio so I know somewhat of what i'm doing.

I cloned the samples, built Nez/Nez.sln, then when I open Nez.Samples and attempt to run it I get:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeInitializationException' occurred in Nez.dll
Additional information: The type initializer for 'Nez.Input' threw an exception.

It points to Scene.cs:656 which is
Input._resolutionScale = new Vector2( scaleX, scaleY );

OS: Windows 10 x64
IDE: Visual Studio Community 2015

I see that you mentioned a fix above, I applied that to enableTouchSupport() and it still throws the error. I've even just set _isConnected = false so it wouldn't do anything with it and it still throws the exception mentioned from the original submitter.

A TypeInitializationException will hide the underlying problem. Put a breakpoint in the Input initializer and see what the real exception is and where it is occurring.

Hi,

I'm not sure how to read the output of that breakpoint. It seems to be pointing all over the place.

Is this an issue with something i've done, or the repo? I haven't done any modifications other than the previously mentioned fix, so this is an error straight out of the box.

MonoGame SDK 3.5.1
XNA Redist 4.0 Refresh

[prime31]

There shouldn't be any need to change the base code at all. A fix was pushed in a recent commit that moves touch stuff into its own method until MonoGame gets a fix out.

It's impossible to say what is happening here without the actual Exception. Stick a breakpoint in the Input constructor and step through there. That will reveal the actual error that is occurring.

Closing this one since it seems like it is all fixed up.
