Black Screen

šŸŒµ Needle Engine
1

Hi,

I have a project which is completed, runs successfully and is just awaiting a launch date. However, since updating Needle to 2.65.2-pre earlier today I now just get a black screen when using ā€˜Quick Actionsā€™ ā€˜Open Serverā€™ to preview the projectā€¦ and if I try to run ā€˜Export & Build Dist (Production)ā€™ I get the following onscreen error message ā€œPre-build Script Failed - See Console for Errorsā€¦ā€.

Iā€™ve attached a screenshot of the console.

Extra Info
Iā€™m on Mac running OS Venture v 13.2.1

Any ideas regarding what might have happened will be gratefully received :slightly_smiling_face:

Can you try running this context menu?

If it doesnt help you need to udpate the paths in your scripts manually to @needle-tools/engine/src/engine-component... instead

4

Btw you can import WebXR like so too: import { WebXR } from "@needle-tools/engine" - you dont need to specify the full path for core components

Thanks @Marcel_Wiessler1 :cactus: ā€¦ Iā€™ll try the context menu first as Iā€™m not sure Iā€™m experienced enough for the alternative task.

Fingers crossed that option 1 worksā€¦ back in touch in a minā€¦

Nopeā€¦ no joy re: ā€˜Run Web Project Updateā€™ ā€¦ and sadly I really just wouldnā€™t know where to start with your other suggestion :worried:

Iā€™m off to grab a Time Machine backup of the project in the hope that itā€™ll run okay.

Your screenshot shows src/scripts/play.ts and play_x.ts

8

just change the path in there in line 7 to:
import { WebXR } from "@needle-tools/engine"

You can open it via this button to edit

Okay. Iā€™ve got VS Code; so will give that a go. Back in touch in a minā€¦

Thatā€™s again the wrong path?

17

I changed the path/s as you suggested. As said, the preview works fine.

Maybe try restarting the server

19

The above in the script is definitely wrong

20

Yup. Tried that.
