CEGUI hangs when parsing/loading a simple .scheme

Postby Kilves » Thu Jan 28, 2016 02:04

Hi all

So today I was testing out CEGUI in my ogre test, using the Ogre renderer in CEGUI. I was following the tutorial in http://cegui.org.uk/wiki/CEGUI_In_Pract ... troduction when I noticed the XML *.schema file wasn't loading properly. The whole program just stood there doing nothing with black screen immediately after trying to load the schema. Here's what I'm trying to do, right after initializing ogre and my resource groups and physics:

Code: Select all

renderer = &CEGUI::OgreRenderer::bootstrapSystem(*(root->getRenderTarget("Hello Ogre World")));
CEGUI::SchemeManager::getSingleton().createFromFile("TaharezLook.scheme"); // <- hangs here

I tried debugging it but the result was even more cryptic. The program just doesn't go any further than the following part of OgreDataStream.cpp. It doesn't even crash or anything. It just simply does nothing.

Code: Select all

size_t FileStreamDataStream::read(void* buf, size_t count)
{
   mInStream->read(static_cast<char*>(buf), static_cast<std::streamsize>(count)); // <- here
   return (size_t)mInStream->gcount();
}

So far I have tried downgrading ogre from 1.10 to 1.9, changing XML parsers, changing the layout of the schema file, changing file permissions even to 777 and rebuilding everything a million times with different settings. None of this has worked.

My CEGUI.log is here (note: the only part omitted from this log is everything above the essential section, the log doesn't continue further.)

You seem not to set up your resource groups. I have to admit that this is not mentioned in the tutorial you linked, but in the API docu there's some very useful "HowTo Resource Loading".
The resulting code should look like this (it was created for use with SDL2, but initialising CEGUI is the same everywhere): https://bitbucket.org/cegui/cegui/src/d ... L2.cpp-132

Thanks for the tip, for now this is just a quick hack and everything uses same default resource group. I will be moving all stuff to their own groups like they're supposed to be in the future.

I already resolved the issue, the attributes in CEGUI 0.8.4 XML need to be lowercase and if they start with uppercase letter the program hangs. I still find it a bit odd that it just hangs like that and doesn't throw an exception or anything. Well, I guess new features bring bugs as well. Either way, I got a couple of segfaults and flickering problems as well, but I fixed them all. Everything works perfectly now.

Did you try to use your IDE's debugger to stop the program while it is hanging, so you could see what it is doing while it is hanging?

This certainly seems annoying so it would be great if we could fix this, and throwing an exception or similar should not be too difficult (if it is not done already and the problem is something else..)
