lime test windows problems - "Uncaught exception - std@sys_file_type"

[Marker228]

When I write the command "lime test windows" I get an error every time

Called_` from ? line 1 Called from CommandLineTools.hx line 1895 Called from CommandLineTools.hx line 22 Called from a C function Called from CommandLineTools.hx line 125 Called from CommandLineTools.hx line 1703 Called from lime/tools/ProjectXMLParser.hx line 21 Called from a C function Called from lime/tools/ProjectXMLParser.hx line 50 Called from lime/tools/ProjectXMLParser.hx line 2043 Called from lime/tools/ProjectXMLParser.hx line 1528 Called from lime/tools/ProjectXMLParser.hx line 608 Called from a C function Called from lime/tools/ProjectXMLParser.hx line 719 Called from a C function Called from lime/tools/ProjectXMLParser.hx line 719 Called from a C function Called from lime/tools/ProjectXMLParser.hx line 709 Called from /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/haxe/4.2.1/x64/std/neko/_std/sys/FileSystem.hx line 69 Called from /Users/runner/hostedtoolcache/haxe/4.2.1/x64/std/neko/_std/sys/FileSystem.hx line 60 Uncaught exception - std@sys_file_type

What should I do?

I think it means that there is something wrong with the path to one of your assets specified in project.xml.

The problem is that before the error pops up, I get another about lime (I use Visual Code): "Lime completion setup failed. Is the lime command available? Try running "lime setup" or changing the "lime.executable" setting."; And: "The XML language server crashed 5 times in the last 10 minutes. The server will not be restarted.".

All those error messages are probably caused by the same underlying issue: there's an inaccessible file or folder in one of your asset directories.

It's impossible to tell from the error which file or folder this is, but the easiest way to find out is to insert a trace() statement right above ProjectXMLParser.hx line 709.

		for (file in files)
		{
+			trace(path + "/" + file);
			if (FileSystem.isDirectory(path + "/" + file))
			{

Then run lime rebuild tools before recompiling your app. (If you forget this, it won't print.)

Once you find the file, make sure to remove the trace() statement and run lime rebuild tools again.
