Expected Behavior

Expected no errors

Current Behavior

Side note: Also expected that I can export, but it says "Error during export" with no additional details aside from

Steps to Reproduce

Your Environment

• Processing version: 4.0b5
• Operating System and OS version: MacOS Big Sur 11.6.3

Possible Causes / Solutions

I've tried to search for as many solutions as possible, and what people seem to think it boils down to in other applications, is a Java bug, but I installed JDK 17.0.2, and updated my java version. Not sure what other steps to take or other potential causes.

I haven't been able to find much information about this kind of error. Thanks in advance for your time, and if this is just something that I'm doing wrong, sorry for taking up time!

Yeah, I saw the error when exporting just recently, and already fixed it here: 1bb5b3e so that'll be resolved for 4.0 beta 6.

The accessibilityHitTest issue is a problem inside Java, see:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8274326
which it looks like it should be fixed in 17.0.2:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8274604

I'm trying to get beta 6 out now, which will have 17.0.2, so give that a shot and see if it happens again.

I updated to 4.0b6, and the exporting works!! however, it seems like the accessibilityHitTest issue with on click events is still happening.

ofc! It doesnt seem to impact the functionality of the programs I'm running, so after exporting I guess out of sight out of mind?

Yeah, fingers crossed… But also odd that it's listed as “fixed” in JDK 17.0.2 b1 (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8274604).
