removeSelf crashes app

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

I’ve been using this function for 5+ years.

local coronaMetaTable = getmetatable(display.getCurrentStage()) local isDisplayObject = function(aDisplayObject)     return (type(aDisplayObject) == "table" and getmetatable(aDisplayObject) == coronaMetaTable) end local cleanGroups cleanGroups = function ( objectOrGroup, anim )   if not anim then     if(not isDisplayObject(objectOrGroup)) then return end     if objectOrGroup.numChildren then         while objectOrGroup.numChildren \> 0 do             cleanGroups ( objectOrGroup[objectOrGroup.numChildren])         end     end     if objectOrGroup.audioFile then       objectOrGroup.audioStop()     end     objectOrGroup:removeSelf()     objectOrGroup = nil     return   else     anim.onComplete = function () cleanGroups(objectOrGroup);end     transition.to(objectOrGroup,anim)   end end

For the last 2 weeks of daily builds it crashes the simulator and the app on device.

object:removeSelf()

Something has definitely changed with this function, it’s buggy and it crashes any instance WITHOUT an assertion, warning, anything.

Please fix.

Thank you,

Aidan

Can you build a simple test case for us? If so, please file a Bug Report using the link at the top of the page. The bug report needs to have a main.lua, config.lua and build.settings as well as any assets needed. Make sure its in a .zip file and submit that with the form above.

The engineers will need that. It would also help to know what build this started with.

Thanks
