Non-fatal problem message when building

Targets macOS
1

Hello,

Older developer :slight_smile: new to Xojo. Great product! I’ve figured out most of what I need using this forum and the documentation. Suddenly I’ve come across a bizarre error as I am in the final stages of the development. I get the following build error message:

This just started happening and I noticed that my copyfiles build steps are not copying the resources to the app’s resource folder. This was working just fine previously. I’m at a loss since I do not know where I can see a copy of the Xojo build logs to possibly determine the root cause.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You found a bug in the IDE and you can report it with the Feedback app.

Thanks for the reply. I did more digging and generated a feedback report that indicates it can’t create Contents in theCopyFilesBuildStep:

I’m not sure what would suddenly cause this to happen.

I’ll submit the feedback report. At the moment I’m stuck.

In the event anyone else encounters this, it appears that deleting the Build folder and Rebuilding cleared up everything!
