Slider value is not int anymore

[suyuren]

I had created my project using controlp5's slider and it worked until May 2015. I opened it September 2015 and my slider doesn't work anymore. I figured it out it is because the value of the slider, year , is float but integer now.

I'm not sure why it happened. Maybe software update? I'm sure the code was working before because I made a video at the time.

Does anyone know how I can fix it?

Here is my code

import controlP5.*;
ControlP5 cp5;
int year = 1990;
String [][] csvIco;
String [][] csvGrower;
int csvIcoWidth=0, csvGrowerWidth=0;
PShape mapImg, beanImg;
PFont font1, font2;

void setup() {
size(1000, 800);
font1 = loadFont("Akkurat-12.vlw");
font2 = loadFont("Akkurat-48.vlw");
cp5 = new ControlP5(this);
cp5.addSlider("year")
.setRange(1990, 2009)
.setPosition(30, 200)
.setSize(5, 450)
.setColorValue(color(89, 5, 220))
.setColorActive(color(89, 5, 220))
.setColorForeground(color(89, 5, 220))
.setColorBackground(color(1, 239, 224))
.setColorLabel(color(1, 239, 224))
;
String linesIco[] = loadStrings("dataIcoPrice.csv");
String linesGrower[] = loadStrings("dataGrowerPrice.csv");
//calculate max width of csv file
for (int i=0; i < linesIco.length; i++) {
String [] chars=split(linesIco[i], ',');
if (chars.length>csvIcoWidth) {
csvIcoWidth=chars.length;
}
}

//create csv array based on # of rows and columns in csv file
csvIco = new String [linesIco.length][csvIcoWidth];

//parse values into 2d array
for (int i=0; i < linesIco.length; i++) {
String [] temp = new String [linesIco.length];
temp= split(linesIco[i], ',');
for (int j=0; j < temp.length; j++) {
csvIco[i][j]=temp[j];
}
}

for (int i=0; i < linesGrower.length; i++) {
String [] chars=split(linesGrower[i], ',');
if (chars.length>csvGrowerWidth) {
csvGrowerWidth=chars.length;
}
}

//create csv array based on # of rows and columns in csv file
csvGrower = new String [linesGrower.length][csvGrowerWidth];

//parse values into 2d array
for (int i=0; i < linesGrower.length; i++) {
String [] temp = new String [linesGrower.length];
temp= split(linesGrower[i], ',');
for (int j=0; j < temp.length; j++) {
csvGrower[i][j]=temp[j];
}
}
}

Hi, there is indeed an issue with the variable using the name year, I haven't checked but I assume current versions of PApplet are making internal use of a variable with name year hence there is a conflict and no response from the slider. If you rename variable year to for example yearValue, the slider responds as expected.

just a side note: the code you posted is very long and depends on external files and data. To identify the issue here is not very straight forward and one has to read through a lot of code that is not relevant to the problem. a workaround here is to create a minimal, complete and verifiable example (mcve)
