openfl test linux in Examples doesnt work

[NobbZ]

Hi there!

When I try to invoke openfl test linux or openfl test linux -neko in one of the example directories I get the following error message:

Export/linux64/cpp/haxe/ApplicationMain.hx:191: characters 16-33 : Unmatched patterns: null

The linenumber is the same in PiratePig and SimpleBox2D but I did not test with other examples.

The same error appears when targeting windows or android. I have all of them setup with openfl setup <platform>

Targetting flash and html5 compiles without any errormessages. But I can't test the flash movie on my system, the html5 version seems to work.

Which version of Haxe 3 do you use ?
I think that openfl/openfl-native@d46638d fix this issue. I don't know which version is on haxelib, but try with the git version of openfl/openfl-native.

I just heard back that briefly the development builds of Haxe 3 required a match for null if you were switching on a nullable type, but I hear this has also been disabled, and returned to the previous behavior.

If you update Haxe from the source, or update to the Haxe 3 tag and rebuild, I believe this error will go away

I am using h3, installed from dev-source, updating occassionaly, after reading @louisbl, I updated haxe and now oFL does its job.

Sorry for creating noise :D
