I want to specify a project to be opened when I launch Delphi(D2010).
Is there a command-line parameter to pass to bds.exe, like the -r option allowing to load a specific Registry Setting, where I could pass the name of the project I want to open when launching bds.exe?
The only options I know of are:
-ns "no splash"
-np "no project"
-hm "Heap Monitor"
-attach "attach to process(JIT)"
-r "registry root"
-p "Personalities"
Just add the path after your command.
"{path to rad studio}\bin\bds.exe" -pDelphi "C:\Projects\TestProj\TestProj.dproj"
BTW: here is the IDE Command Line Reference.
Sounds to me that instead of launching Delphi, you should just double-click the project file. The OS will start Delphi for you, and Delphi will open the project automatically. Make a shortcut to it on your desktop or in your Start menu for easy access.
In Delphi 7 and earlier, use the DPR file. For later versions, use the DPROJ or BDSPROJ file instead.
Works for project groups, too.

Anyone knows how to open the Erlang shell from windows command line?
In official tutorial recommended to write "werl" to the command prompt but this command doesn't work.
P.S. I have installed erlang to my PC.
You have 2 simple ways to start an erlang shell on windows.
1) you can open a terminal directly into the folder that contains werl.exe you want. Use Shift + right click and choose "open terminal here". Then type "werl.exe"
2) you can go into that folder using "cd path", then type "werl.exe"
Also if you use werl.exe, a new window will open. If you want to stay with your windows terminal you should use erl.exe
werl uses the wxwidget library. Everything is installed automatically if you use the windows binary file.
If you have installed from source, then wxwidget must be installed separately.
It is possible to start the erlang shell in a dos window: start a command window with cmd, and start the erlang shell from this window using erl.
I guess that you already checked that werl exe is in the search path.
I'm developing a desktop application using javafx v8.0.60. I have created an exe package with ant in netbeans 8. When I run exe file in my computer, it is installed and run without any problem.
On the other hand, when I try to install and run it on some other computer, at the end of installation, window dialog pops up:
"Error invoking method"
I click Ok. Another window pop up saying:
"Failed to launch jvm"
Davood, greetings! I had this same problem and I, like you, found no help anywhere.
I submit to you a solution, which miraculously worked for me and helped me make sense of those blasted "Error invoking method." and "Failed to launch JVM" dialogs:
Find your .jar file
It has the same name as your Project and it's in your application's installation directory under AppData\Local\{ApplicationTitle}\app (shortcut: type %appdata% into explorer); if your project was named HelloWorld, there you will find HelloWorld.jar
Navigate to it's directory in command prompt
shift+Right Click any blank spot in the Explorer window and choose "Open command window here" (that's a fancy trick I recently learned; alternatively you would cd to the same directory using the command prompt)
Run your .jar via the command line
type java -jar "HelloWorld.jar" and hit Enter
Tadah! Behold your hidden exceptions (the existence of which "Error invoking method." so vaguely tries to communicate to you). *
If your problem is similar to mine it stems from a file structure difference between the project out folder and the installation directory, and that's why the program compiles just fine in the editor and builds just fine—there isn't a problem until it's built out, and the file structure is a little different.
*If you didn't get anything when you ran it via the command line, look for any errors that could be happening during that initialize() method; that's where your problem likely is. You can expose any exceptions during runtime by using a Popup Exception Dialog like shown in a similar problem, here.
while loading my application on BlackBerry simulator its displaying given below an error
Unable to start simulator. Check that the file exists. (java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Executable name has embedded quote, split the arguments)
I had same issue whilst trying to run the demo application.
I am running Windows 7 Professional,JDK 7u21 and STS 3.2.
This is an issue with the changes made to the decoding of command strings specified to Runtime.exec method.
In summary the path configured for the simulator launch contains spaces.In my case "C:\Program Files (x86)"
To Fix this issue
Copy the simulator Dir and MDS to a new directory that has no spaces.
From the run configuration settings,enable the use of Customized Command line ,Customized Working directory and Customized MDS directory.Update the
entries to point to the new path that has no spaces.
Alternatively you can use windows shortened dir name by typing dir /X in the CMD from the directory that contains the simulator and MDS,this should give you something like PROGRAM~2
In the end ,the issue is not with the IDE or the Simulator,just java and windows not playing nice.
see Oracle JDK 7u21 release note
My solution was:
Go to debugger Configurations, Simulator, Advanced and COPY the "default command line".
Hit debug. When the alert with the error appears:
Open a shell/cmd and paste the text obtained in step 1, hit enter.
It should open the emulator an the debugger should attached without a problem.
This is not an error, this is an "upgrade" of Oracle Java due to security issues, you cannot longer execute commandlines with arguments if theyre not passed as an array..
Hope it helps.
Also:
Here is the error documentated:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/7u21-relnotes-1932873.html#jruntime
Heres the patch but only for java 17 and earlier:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/javacpuapr2013-1928497.html
remove the Java 7 and keep only the java 6 and it will work fine
i have the same issue and i solve it with the above solution
This may be somewhat trivial, but I am attempting to work on an Action Script / Flash project and need to make some changes to it and attempt to rebuild the .SWF file associated with it.
The project itself is fairly straightforward and is available on github here It is jwagener's recorder.js, which consists of several Action Script files and a single compiled .SWF file.
I am not terribly familiar with the build process for Action Scripts and I am sure that I have all of the necessary tools (Flash Builder, Adobe Flash Professional etc.) but I am not sure about how to go about it.
I've attempted to simply create a new ActionScript project and add all of the necessary ActionScript files from his repository, but upon building the .SWF it didn't function at all and lacked all of the External Interface elements that I need to use.
Any ideas, walk-throughs, or tutorials that would point me in the right direction would be extraordinarily helpful.
The project you want to compile actually includes a Make file.
MXMLC = "/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.5/sdks/4.5.0/bin/mxmlc"
build:
$(MXMLC) -debug=false -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true -optimize=true -o recorder.swf -file-specs flash/FlashRecorder.as
clean:
rm recorder.swf
It looks setup for osx, but you get the idea.
If you only need to do minor changes and could do without an IDE that shows error/warnings/etc. you can do this:
Download the FlexSDK
Setup an environment variable so you can access the mxmlc compiler from anywhere on your system
Navigate to your project and compile from the command line
Step 1 is trivial.
Step 2 depends on your os a bit. On Windows should be something like My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment variables (I remember this is on XP, should still be somewhere on the Computer Properties properties on Windows 7) and add to the PATH variable the location of the FlexSDK's bin folder. On unix you should add something like this to either ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile : export PATH=/your/path/to/FlexSDK/bin:$PATH
At this you should be able to run mxmlc -version from the command line
Step 3 means navigating to the project and running:
mxmlc -warnings=false -debug=false -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true -optimize=true -o recorder.swf -file-specs flash/FlashRecorder.as
So that's the command line option in a nutshell.
If you have a bit more editing to do you can use an IDE.
If you're on Windows I warmly recommend FlashDevelop: it's fast/lightweight/free/opensource. It downloads the sdk and setups everything for you.
If you're on OSX you can use FDT 5 Free or a trial version of Flash Builder(60 days by default) or setup TextMate with the actionscript 3 bundle.
I installed a copy of f# on my machine (on a secondary drive), and when i try to start the F# interactive prompt, it says it could not find fsi.exe. Do i need to copy some files somewhere or something?
You could try to look here:
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\F#\<fsharp_version>\Framework\<dotnet_version>\Fsi.exe"
With the VS 15.8 update it appears to have been moved. I found it in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\FSharp\fsi.exe
Could you be more specific with your repro steps? I assume you are using the latest, May 2009 CTP? Also, when you say 'start the F# Interactive prompt' are you talking about launching it from the start menu?
On most machines it will be exactly:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\FSharp-1.9.7.4\bin\fsi.exe"
If you did something non-standard it could just be a bug in the installer. E.g., did you override the Program Files folder for your F# installation by passing in a command line parameter to msiexec?
Do a quick search for fsi.exe on your machine (the console F# interactive window) and point your shortcut there.
