B4J Question B4j-Bridge fails to debug application.

[Dominik H]

I am receiving an error when using B4J-Bridge on either of my PC's, first when I add the IP it says "Ping failed" but I add it anyway and it shows that the devices connected. But when I try to debug the program I get this error, on the second machine I do however find that files were transferred over and are now in the recycling bin.

Spoiler: Error Log

Program started.

I have Java 8u72 on both machines. What is the cause of this?

PS: Next time would you be so kind and let me know that I am posting in the wrong part of the forums, because if I hadn't made a backup of this, I'd be writing things from scratch again...

Have you added Rank.png to the Files tab?

Yes I have, and it works fine on my own machine so I don't see why it wouldnt work over the bridge.
I readded the Rank.png, and now I don't get any errors, however; The error when trying to connect the devices still exists:

On my second PC it will say "Connected!" as soon as I click yes on the dialog above.

When I try to debug my program, the second pc will say "Start program" followed by "ProcessCompleted" and nothing ever happens. I do get a tempjars folder on my desktop though.

The ping fails for some reason. You can ignore it.

What happens in the IDE when you run the app with B4J-Bridge connected? Do you see the logs?

Well, I've tested it again today and it comes up with the missing Rank.png asset, so what I've done is: I've set one of my images on the designer from "Rank.png" to nothing, and then set it back to Rank.png and it suddenly works...

Any reason for that?

Make sure to always first add the files to the Files tab (in the designer or in the main code editor).

I did, the item was clearly listed in the files tab and designer. So I really don't know what it could've been.

Anyway, thanks for pointing it out - it's all sorted out now.
