BWStyledTextField causes ibtool to fail

Reported by Romain Cosentino | April 6th, 2010 @ 01:14 AM

The updated versions of Xcode and Interface Builder (but I believe Interface Builder is the one to blame) crash on xib files using BWToolkit UI Elements. It doesn't seem to crash if you create new xib files with those versions though.

I can't edit my xibs and compilation fails in Xcode when reaching xib files containing BWToolkit UI Elements.

    I can also confirm this error.

    ibtool failed with exception: NSColor's provided through the IBUIColorSupport mechanism can only exist in a Cocoa Touch target runtime.
    

    I'll try rebuilding the XIBs from scratch as mentioned.

    Yep, that's the error I get.
    Unfortunately for me I have a lot of xibs with these errors and in 3 different languages.
    I cannot hope to redo every one of them from scratch it would take me days.

    I really hope this will get fix ; I would love for B. Walkin to look at it.

    • Tag set to interface builder, bwstyledtextfield, crash, ibuicolorsupport, nscolor
    • Assigned user set to “Brandon Walkin”

    This error happens for me when creating a brand new .nib file and adding a BWStyledTextField. If you're using it maybe you can edit the nib's XML to remove it manually.

    • Assigned user cleared.

    After some attempt to fix the issue the culprit certainly lies within the updated Interface Builder plugin at /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Library/Interface Builder/Plug-ins. Moving this plug-in away (by renaming it, etc) ameliorates the issue and could help to be a temporary fix.

    Basically, +[NSColor colorWithPatternImage:(NSImage *)image] is mysteriously broken by 3.2’s Cocoa Touch IB plugin.

    Interesting. Thanks for investigating.

    This temporary fix is great !!!
    I don't have to switch between two partitions to use with both SDKs anymore...

    • Tag changed from interface builder, bwstyledtextfield, crash, ibuicolorsupport, nscolor to interface builder, bwstyledtextfield, crash, ibuicolorsupport, iphonesdk, nscolor

    A temporary fix on BWStyledTextFieldCell.m that restores 95% of the functionality (i.e., removes the crasher) is committed to our GitHub fork, tested under 10.6 / x86_84.

    I was seriously wrong about the culprit, since +[NSColor colorWithPatternImage:(NSImage *)image] itself is not broken in any sense; the bug lies within the coding process (i.e. when the pasteboard is involved).

    We made -(NSDictionary *) _textAttributes deliberately lie (assigning self.solidColor as the color of the text, even if self.hasGradient is YES) if…

    • The control is living within an IB document, that is, it responds to ibDidAddToDesignableDocument:.

    • And the call stack resulting in some method requesting the attributes does not contain -drawRect.

    Note: _textAttributes ought not lie when the document has just been saved. We’ll look into this issue soon.
