While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

share the setup for ur resource folder

tropic fern Aug 13, 2023, 11:04 AM

#

so i decompiled it and saw that theres no recourses folder
spooky ghost story

#

i assume this is an uberjar?

rigid totem Aug 13, 2023, 11:07 AM

#

why are u "decompiling" the jar? i doubt ur decompiler shows anything but code

#

open the jar with a zip program

#

like winrar, 7zip. or rename to .zip, then u can also doublecheck enter it in windows

#

Also share the artifact settings please. maybe u specifically selected only binaries

#

lol

#

move ur resources into ur resource folder

#

where they belong

#

what do u mean

#

i dont follow what ur saying

#

u just said they are elsewhere didn't u

#

are they in ur final jar now or not? have u opened ur jar with a zip viewer?

#

that's correct. the resource folder is not supposed to be in the jar,only its contents

#

so ur resources are in ur jar? then everything is correct

#

yes

#

what are u talking about

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 11:14 AM

#

seems like a problem with your code instead of compiling problems

#

first lol why do you cast an integer to float?

#

instead of 16f

#

also (int) (float) 16???

#

I have it like this, only difference I see is that I am using try-with-resource

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 11:20 AM

#

could it be the /

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 11:20 AM

#

nah, thats needed for getResourceAsStream iirc

rigid totem Aug 13, 2023, 11:22 AM

#

just debug the code

#

don't guess @nocturne lichen

#

put in some stuff to explore what's going on

#

check whether the stream returned null or not

#

if its null, there's an issue reading the file

#

if not null, there's an issue with the files content

#

and so on

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 11:29 AM

#

you know what a debugger is?

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 11:33 AM

#

its better that u log and learn to debug. Then u can actually follow what is happening and see what's going on while the program is running

#

if your not really familiar with debugging, its no shame. But please say so

#

no worries on that, just put it high on your to-learn list. For now , did u ever by accident place a red dot before a code line before ?

#

if u place such a dot on a line, the program will 'pause' at that point and u can see what's in all the variables ( u can do alot more , but that's one of the first things u will use it for )

#

(do not forget to start it in debug mode aswell)

#

place it on the Font font line

#

is it still the io error or another one ?

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 11:48 AM

#

seems like some dependency got a signed jar or smth

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 11:49 AM

#

is that ==null still in there ?

that one

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 11:55 AM

#

that could work

#

you use maven right?

#

then yeah

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 11:56 AM

#

can't harm to try

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 11:56 AM

#

but are you even running a jar or running in intellij directly?

#

how are you running your application?

#

ok and you creating the jar with mvn package?

#

wdym

#

then I have no idea

#

no idea helping with how to fix your security exception

@nocturne lichen Can you maybe share your project in a way where we can run it?

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 3:24 PM

#

I dont see the reason not using maven package for packaging it to a jar

#

with mvn package?

#

show your pom.xml

#

you are missing the configuration stuff

#

you first need <packaging>jar</packaging>

#

and this iirc for adding dependencies into the jar:

    <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
            <archive>
                <manifest>
                    <mainClass>com.example.MainClass</mainClass>
                </manifest>
            </archive>
            <descriptorRefs>
                <descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>

                </goals>
            </execution>
        </executions>
    </plugin>

replace com.example.MainClass with your main class

#

I think in a <plugins> </plugins>

#

but not sure

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 3:42 PM

#

group tag is correct

hardy dew and this iirc for adding dependencies into the jar: ```xml <plugin> ...

you might instead use this:

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 3:48 PM

#

check your pom, that snapshot thing is normally in there

#

check <version>

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 3:49 PM

#

wdym

#

there is a field for main class

#

in the configuration

#

of the first plugin

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 3:51 PM

#

do u have any tests in your project btw ?

#

unit testing etc ?

#

anything in your tests that can fail ? if u haven't got any there's no need, but if u got tests that may fail u can skip those while compiling, else maven won't compile

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 4:00 PM

#

show the error

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 4:01 PM

#

hold on, this is progress

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 4:01 PM

#

seems like a problem with your .ttf file

#

because its not null if I see correctly

#

also dont use print statements for debugging

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

noble quartz its better that u log and learn to debug. Then u can actually follow what is hap...

.

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

thigns can run in an ide even when malconfigured

#

not necessary

#

u got 2 stactrackes

#

u got e.printStackTrace aswell so u need to figure out if its going in the exeption ( and even failing there )

#

i know, but its acting normally as u programd it

#

it looks like it fails, then u forced a secondary print, and then u return ( what i assume is normal ) font

#

so it shouldnt even stop

#

any reason why the t/c is a float and the other is not ?

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 4:10 PM

#

btw line 67 in ImageGen is Font font = Font.createFont(...) right?

#

javadocs for that method saying that:

IOException - if the fontStream cannot be completely read.

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 4:22 PM

#

System.out.println(e.getClass());

#

don't guess

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 4:23 PM

#

just use a debugger

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 4:23 PM

#

OP said he never used one before ( a few hours ealier )

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 4:23 PM

#

yeah and whats wrong with that?

#

now is the time learning it

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 4:23 PM

#

nothing, just needs some more guidance on how-to 😉

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 4:24 PM

#

there will always be a first time

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 4:24 PM

#

noble quartz nothing, just needs some more guidance on how-to 😉

you tried

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 4:24 PM

#

yep

#

where are u deploying that jar / war then ?

#

u said it's the VM and it works on your computer, so where are u running it so it fails ?

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

what vm?

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

what's on the vm then ? a server ?

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

give information about your vm

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 4:29 PM

#

can u be clear please, what's running on it ? a server or not ?

#

so u need a war ?

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 4:31 PM

#

noble quartz so u need a war ?

is it really needed?

#

I dont see why the Font#createFont should fail though?

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 4:31 PM

#

that wont, it could explain why its not finding the files

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 4:31 PM

#

ah ok

#

its null

#

why dont you say it

#

...

#

why does it say false though

#

?

#

you do inputstream==null

#

which prints false

#

which means its not null

#

yeah look at it peepo_heart

#

yeah which prints false

#

so its not null

#

or the printing is coming from somewhere else

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 4:34 PM

#

(there is a false before the 1st stactrace)

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 4:34 PM

#

based on the information i have its not

#

but for that just use an debugger

#

it makes it way easier

#

no need for guessing

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

(also why u got that screen open, change it to the correct format try-with-resources )

#

@nocturne lichen what happens when u double click on that font file in windows ?

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 4:39 PM

#

On Linux, launching a JVM in a console and using it to access awt or swing components sometimes causes problem because the X11 support is not included. You should try using headless mode to launch the server.
https://javatechniques.com/blog/linux-x11-libraries-for-headless-mode/

#

try this

#

yeah

#

before so I think like this:
java -arg -jar jarfile.jar

#

where you replace -arg with the argument

#

yeah should work

#

hm

#

but you said the code works on windows right?

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 4:43 PM

#

have u checked that that file is correct ?

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 4:43 PM

#

noble quartz have u checked that that file is correct ?

no need if it works on windows

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 4:44 PM

#

true, if his catch wasnt triggerd

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 4:48 PM

#

so you mean using this new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(FONT_PATH_TELEGRAFICO)); for creating the font stream?

#

btw using a debugger would be really helpful in your case
based on the implementation the IOException is caused by some other exception, but we dont know which one
debugging would show which exception is causing it

#

try it why not

#

so you are trying to run the jar on ubuntu right? can you tell me which ubuntu so I can make a virtual machine and debug the jar

#

btw nice pronouns on discord pepekek

#

yeah true the class is enough no need sharing the whole project, but it doesnt need to give same results

#

what about the server so I can already install the distro

#

what about the server???

#

@nocturne lichen

#

also why are you using java 18? kinda weird version

#

most use either last lts (17), any lts or newest (20)

#

running on my wsl is working fine

#

so I need the real server specs

#

@nocturne lichen

#

idk you said smth about a vps

#

it should provide that information

#

idk which vps are you using

#

yeah? should I guess that?

#

and now?

#

we knew before

#

we need more information why the loading fails

#

because its working on windows but not on your vm

#

but I need information about your vm

#

to replicate that scenario

#

because on my wsl Ubuntu its working fine

#

I dont know and cant tell without knowing the vps

#

just google

#

vps-name get vm os information or stuff like that

#

yeah the linux distro the vm is using

#

etc

#

there should be a linux command for that as well if you got access to terminal

#

thanks

#

now give me some time

#

its a server image right? so no gui version

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 6:01 PM

#

I think you have to use getResourceAsStream from a ClassLoader not a .class.

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 6:04 PM

#

but getResourceAsStream doesnt seem to be the problem

#

because on windows the code works fine

#

but on linux the Font#createFont throws

#

and InputStream is not null

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 6:27 PM

#

Google what I just said, there's a history of this problem.

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 6:28 PM

#

and why do you think its related to this?

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 6:28 PM

#

Because I've run into it before.

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 6:29 PM

#

when trying to create a Font from a ttf on linux?

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 6:29 PM

#

just try getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream() and it should work.

#

No wait. Maybe it was System classLoader, yea. try that.

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 6:30 PM

#

I think he already tried that earlier and didnt work

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 6:34 PM

#

I don't see where he tried that. It is the answer though.

#

getSystemResourceAsStream I believe

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 7:04 PM

#

@nocturne lichen I cant really replicate your scenario, it runs fine without any exception etc

#

on Ubuntu 20.04.6 (focal server)
with java 17
using this code:

public class ImageGen {

    public static Font loadMinecraftFont() {
        try {
            InputStream inputStream = ImageGen.class.getResourceAsStream("/minecraft.ttf");
            Font font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, inputStream);
            return font.deriveFont(16F);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return new Font(Font.MONOSPACED, Font.PLAIN, 16);
        }
    }
}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.getProperties().list(System.out);
        System.out.println();

        Font font = ImageGen.loadMinecraftFont();
        System.out.println(font);

It's because Intellij munges the classloader to make it work. Don't build with your IDE folks. Delegate to maven or gradle for builds and you'll still have hair when you're 40.

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 7:26 PM

#

he didnt build with ide though

#

he is using maven

#

but true I notice that my test is building with ide

#

let me test with maven in a sec

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 8:08 PM

now I tried with mvn package + scp transfer file to ubuntu server + java -jar jarfile.jar and it worked without any problems

#

ah ok

#

then try his suggestion

#

ok

#

I could replicate your scenario

#

maybe share your .jar

#

maybe its specific to your jar

#

so I can test with the exact code

tulip fernBOT Aug 13, 2023, 8:22 PM

#

getSystemResourceAsStream(…)

<:Class:871140776900440074> java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader

public static InputStream getSystemResourceAsStream(
  String name
)

Open for reading, a resource of the specified name from the search path used to load classes. This method locates the resource through the system class loader (see #getSystemClassLoader()).

Resources in named modules are subject to the encapsulation rules specified by Module.getResourceAsStream. Additionally, and except for the special case where the resource has a name ending with ".class", this method will only find resources in packages of named modules when the package is

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 8:22 PM

#

it should

#

its a static method

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 8:23 PM

#

gets. ?

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 8:24 PM

#

ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream

#

what about linux?

#

@echo void see

#

yeah because you return a different font on exception

#

can you share your jar file pls

#

so I can test it

#

its a bot

#

it should work if I run it

#

true, but the jar contains the bot token right?

#

so it should still work if I run it and you type the command

#

but its ok if you wont share the bot token/jar file with me

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 8:31 PM

#

at this point i would defo share the jar. He already put alot of effort in to try things

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 8:31 PM

#

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 8:31 PM

#

echo void Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()

he already tried that iirc

#

.

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 8:32 PM

#

Does he have slash prefix?

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 8:32 PM

#

echo void I don't see where he tried that. It is the answer though.

It is the answer though.
how where you so sure

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 8:32 PM

#

he's got a slash prefix

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 8:32 PM

#

as I told you the resource is not null

#

meaning its not a getResourceAsStream issue

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 8:32 PM

#

It's his runtime

#

You are not getting a classloader than can see your resources

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 8:33 PM

#

echo void You are not getting a classloader than can see your resources

but the resource is NOT NULL

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 8:33 PM

#

Similar things happen when you run in containers

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

the resource loads no problem @echo void

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

So he is getting something back from getResource?

#

and not null?

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

yeah I told you already

#

20 times

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

I'm not reading this entire chat log sorry.

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

the error that's returning is from the font , and they made it throw io

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 8:35 PM

#

echo void I'm not reading this entire chat log sorry.

I answered it to your messages

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 8:35 PM

#

He can't debug into his runtime container I bet

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 8:35 PM

#

hardy dew and InputStream is not null

.
your respond:

Google what I just said, there's a history of this problem.

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 8:35 PM

#

So use the old system prints

noble quartz Aug 13, 2023, 8:36 PM

#

he did, that's why we know its not null

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

can we try tomorrow if you didnt fixed it until then?
its already late for me and got some appointment tomorrow early

#

what time is it for you rn

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

It's early here!

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

ok see ya tomorrow

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 8:38 PM

#

I would try to print out all resources it can see.

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 8:39 PM

#

echo void I would try to print out all resources it can see.

let me try giving you the current state imo

Activities have been reset.

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 8:40 PM

#

hardy dew btw using a debugger would be really helpful in your case based on the implement...

this is the implementation of the method that throws the IOException seen at the end
based on this I know that the cause is some other exception and to fix the problem I would have searched the original throwable that
gets catched here to see the reason why its failing

#

You didn’t understand what I was saying

#

The exception you get, gets thrown in the catch block of the createFont0 method (look at your stacktrace), that means that some other exception needs to get thrown inside the try block of the createFont0 method, this exception gets “shaded“ by the IOException you get at the end, check the screenshot of the snippet

#

And I would use a debugger to see the actual exception that gets thrown

#

But you don’t seem to know how to and I can’t reproduce the error on my end

#

That’s why you need to debug the Linux process

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 8:53 PM

#

Did you edit this ttf file on windows and then save it?

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 8:57 PM

#

Not sure if that’s a problem

#

I tried it on my Linux wsl

#

And on an Ubuntu server

#

And both worked fine

#

I will look tomorrow

#

Really need to sleep now

Says you might have to install the font on the machine first

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 9:46 PM

You can look at the jvm code at that location

echo void Aug 13, 2023, 10:04 PM

#

Maybe Font.createFonts is what you want. The font file you are trying to create maybe has multiple fonts in it (variants?)

#

Otherwise you need to look at Throwable.cause on that exception you are getting. (or the chain of causes.) It shows you getting past temp file creation/deletion and if you look at the catch block at the bottom of createFont0 it weeds out Font format and previous IOExceptions.

#

Sorry, its not going to have info on the cause because its hidden.

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 10:20 PM

#

Already gave all that information

hardy dew Aug 13, 2023, 10:20 PM

#

echo void Maybe Font.createFonts is what you want. The font file you are trying to create ...

Works on windows and for me on Linux just saying

#

Makes no sense to guess here

#

Just check the actual cause with a debugger

hardy dew Aug 14, 2023, 7:53 AM

#

@nocturne lichen I have time now, just need to tell me when you have time for this

#

Changed the title to Font loadng from ttf creates exception when running on Ubuntu (HELP STILL NEEDED).

hardy dew Aug 14, 2023, 11:33 AM

#

kinda hopeless without a minimal reproducible example

#

Code works also on ubuntu but not on my version somehow
I tried both on wsl ubuntu and the same ubuntu you are using

#

yeah

hardy dew Aug 14, 2023, 11:47 AM

#

hardy dew

.

#

this one

#

so I couldnt reproduce your issue

#

which makes it kinda impossible to help

#

but we can do vc if you want later

#

and try on your machine

#

to debug

#

uses Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS as well

#

yeah try that if its ok for you

hardy dew Aug 14, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

hi

hardy dew Aug 14, 2023, 5:14 PM

#

ok

#

wipe os ig
