--physics.setDrawMode( "hybrid" ) causes crash

When I uncomment --physics.setDrawMode( “hybrid” ) and try to move objects on the simulator it freezes and crashes. What is that about?

Thanks for any help. [import]uid: 17539 topic_id: 16255 reply_id: 316255[/import]

Hey Mike,

Is that line below where you require and set up physics?

What version of Corona are you running?

EDIT: Just tested this on .591 using MultiPuck sample code, adding [lua]physics.setDrawMode(“hybrid”)[/lua] on line 24. Zero issues. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 16255 reply_id: 60494[/import]

The version I am using is Version 2011.632 (2011.8.2)

[lua]_W = display.contentWidth;
_H = display.contentHeight;

display.setStatusBar( display.HiddenStatusBar )

local physics = require(“physics”);
physics.start()
local ui = require( “ui”)
local gameUI = require( “gameUI”)
physics.setGravity( 0, 9 )
–physics.setDrawMode( “hybrid” ) --uncomment this line and it crashes

local scaleFactor = 1;
local physicsData = (require “bUspider”).physicsData(scaleFactor);[/lua]
This is the error I get in the terminal window and I get a crash report that I have sent to apple.

That is not a stable build, it is a daily build.

Daily builds should be presumed stable or even mildly functional :wink:

Please try the same code on build .591 and let me know results.

Thanks for the help Peach.

I am not sure how to get 591 back. When I click on the corona icon 632 starts. I did try the old 268 and I didn’t have a problem.

In the last 2 daily builds I ran the Air Hockey templet “as-is” no mods, except for uncommenting the physics.setDrawMode ( “hybrid” ) line and the OSX simulator crashed. I’m using OSX Lion with the latest patches from Apple.

physics.setDrawMode ( “debug” ) also makes the Simulator crash.

Hello Mrs. Peach,
I can confirm that the Corona Simulator is really crashing after we set the “physics.setDrawMode ( “debug” ) or using any other accepted parameter as well”.

A simple way to reproduce the issue is running any sample app that use physics and set the DrawMode line with any parameter and the simulator will crash after some time/“clicks”.
PS: I`ve used the Daily Build 2011.640 for testing the trouble.

EDIT: Just ran the latest daily build (2011.643) and the problem is still there as well. :frowning:

I am glad I am not the only programmer who is having trouble. Since I was the first to spot the bug do I get a cupcake. :wink: [import]uid: 17539 topic_id: 16255 reply_id: 62262[/import]

Just FYI… I filled a bug report last night on this issue.

Hey David,

Thank you for doing that!

PS: I was going to do it right now when I checked up this thread again. =]

Hey David, could you post the bug # in the thread please?

Thanks :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 16255 reply_id: 62440[/import]

The bug is filed as case 8817.

Good catch! This is fixed in tomorrow’s daily build. [import]uid: 26 topic_id: 16255 reply_id: 62468[/import]

I brought it to the attention of this forum on 10/11/11. I was first. I didn’t know about the bug report. [import]uid: 17539 topic_id: 16255 reply_id: 62577[/import]

… Do you want a cookie?

Always file a bug report for bugs. The forum is great but we need to track them properly :wink:
