Error compiling source code

1

I was trying to compile source code for my friend’s FNF mod, and I get this in response after running it with -verbose:

Uncaught exception - std@sys_file_type

Try a clean build.

How would I do that?

Similar to running with -verbose, you run with -clean.

5

Ah okay! Thank you!

6

Still an uncaught exception

7

Try deleting export directory and rebuilding. Apparently it’s not the same than -clean so that might help.

std@sys_file_type is an issue that sometimes has to do with special characters in file names. So make sure no files have non-english characters in their names.

For reference, this is the code on line 709 in ProjectXMLParser.hx (in a method named parseAssetsElementDirectory):

if (FileSystem.isDirectory(path + "/" + file))

The documentation for FileSystem.isDirectory() mentions this:

If path is not a valid file system entry or if its destination is not accessible, an exception is thrown.

I can’t tell you exactly what’s wrong, but the problem seems to be related to one of the files in the directory that contains your project’s assets.
