monocle 21 jpms

[tg-freigmbh]

I am using fx + monocle version 21.0.2
I put the libraries on the module path and use --add-modules=ALL-MODULE-PATH

I get an exception because monocle uses internal classes from javafx. Is this the expected behaviour and I should figure out the needed --add-exports myself? Its a bit odd that the documentation doesnt mention anything about this

Best regards,
Thorsten Goetzke

Yes, unfortunately TestFX and the Monocle builds for TestFX need access to some protected classes and those need to be opened from the command line. As you have also discovered, this is not well documented. However, since I'm also using TestFX 21 and Monocle 21, here are the commands you need to add:

--add-opens=javafx.base/com.sun.javafx.logging=ALL-UNNAMED 
--add-opens=javafx.graphics/com.sun.glass.ui=ALL-UNNAMED 
--add-opens=javafx.graphics/com.sun.javafx.application=ALL-UNNAMED 
--add-opens=javafx.graphics/com.sun.javafx.util=ALL-UNNAMED
