B4J Question [XLUtils] Creating MS Word Documents on the MAC (never resolved previously)

[gregchao]

I am unable to run this code on the MAC. It works fine in Windows. From the documentation,

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/xlutils-creating-ms-word-documents.131732/#content

Dim wd As WordUtils
wd.Initialize
Dim doc As WordDocument = wd.CreateDocument
doc.Append($"[p]Word document with two lines.
This is the second line.[/p]"$)
Dim f As String = doc.SaveAs(File.DirApp, "1.docx", True)

It runs fine when you run from the IDE but errors when it is packaged. The specific line that errors is

Dim doc As WordDocument = wd.CreateDocument

that errors is

I did not see any full error in your post?

 

[gregchao]

Since it happens when it is packaged, there is no error message. The program terminates. I had to use toasts to narrow down the line.

To be more specific, when I use the b4j bridge in debug mode, it works fine on the MAC. After I use the macSigner, it errors. There is no error message, it just exits the program.

There are several mistakes here:
1. The thread title is meaningless. What does it mean "never resolved previously"? Clearly if you are posting a question then it doesn't work for you.
2. Never write to File.DirApp with standalone packages.
3. You don't need to use toast messages to debug it. Follow this tutorial: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/macsigner-building-notarized-mac-packages.130890/#content
4. You need to choose Project - Build Standalone Package and then copy the generated packager.json file to your Mac, in the same folder as the jar.

Thank you Erel! As you instructed, I needed to put the packager.json file in the same directory as the jar file:

"You need to choose Project - Build Standalone Package and then copy the generated packager.json file to your Mac, in the same folder as the jar."
