error while stripping image

While deploying a package to an executable, I got the following error (using
all default settings, in Dolphin 5.0):

The following error occurred while stripping.

The image MUST exit immediately, but see crash dump (if configured).

assertion failure



What should I be doing to get this package into an executable?



Thanks.

The only times I've had this happen to me are when I've forgotten (or
haven't bothered!) to start with a clean image before building the exe.
With any luck, you can start with a fresh image (or a copy of a back-up of
your original image), load in your packages, and things will go smoothly.

If that doesn't help, check back, because there are definitely people who've
built more Dolphin executables than I have!

HTH,

Look for a file with the same root name as your image but with the extension
errors (myImageName.errors).  This should contain the crash dump info on the
end of the file and may provide a more meaningful error description.
Perhaps you could post an excerpt.

Sorry for the long Crash Dump Report.  I tried starting a copy of the
original, clean image, then loading just the one package, and then deploying
that package to an executable.  I got the same assertion failure error.
Below is the entire .ERRORS file that was generated.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

It looks as though you have chosen a non-runtime SessionManager. If you have
written your own SessionManager it should normally be subclasses off either
RuntimeSessionManager (for a GUI app), ConsoleSessionManager (for a console
app), or AXDllSessionManager (for an Active-X DLL).

Regards

Blair

I subclassed RuntimeSessionManager and put in one method:

MyRuntimeSessionManager >> main
  MyShell showOn: MyModel new

When I evaluate this line of code from the class browser, the shell opens up
fine and the app runs as desired.  The package (containing MyShell and
MyRuntimeSessionManager along with my domain classes) also deploys to an
executable without any error.  But when I run the executable, the shell
doesn't appear on screen.  Any suggestions?

Nothing concrete as there are a lot of things it could be.

- Make sure your main shell is a Shell subclass and not a Dialog subclass.
- Create a log file when you deploy the app and see if you can spot anything
being stripped that shouldn't.
- Have a look and see if a "YourFileName.errors" file is being created.
- Use SessionManager>>trace, or your own logging mechanism, to see how far
your app is getting.

Do you get a .ERRORS file from the app?  You might have a dependence on
something that's getting stripped.  Causes can range from something being
errantly cateogorized as must-strip to more subtle scenarios involving a
"stealth" dependence (perhaps based only on loose methods) that that package
manager doesn't detect.  In the latter case, you can add an explicit
dependence - in the package manager, right click on the package that doesn't
"see" the other one, choose properties, and then look for
#manualPrerequisites.  You can also disable stripping options to see if the
(artificially big) result runs and then gradually bracket the problem.

Finally, you might have a problem that shows up only in a deployed
executable; but, the ERRORS file will generally smoke those out for you.

Does that help?

Presumably you have actually configured the deployment to be using
MyRuntimeSessionManager?

Are you able to successfully deploy and run one of the samples such as
Notepad?

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.  No .errors file was created during
deployment.  It was an elementary oversight on my part - I'd left the
default setting of using RuntimeSessionManager alone, instead of telling the
image stripper to use my subclass of RuntimeSessionManager.
