RenPy Not Recognizing JDK...

#1 Post by VAPMichaelaLaws »

Hello!

So I've been at this for months now, but for some reason, even as I update Ren'Py (both in the program AND in downloading the new and latest 7.1.3 exe), redownload the JDK (x64) multiple times, redownload the latest RAPT file to make sure I'm covered... Ren'Py is not recognizing that I have the JDK installed.

What is going on? I've done Android builds before so this shouldn't be an issue, and yet when I attempt to make an Android build, all options to do so are greyed out/unaccessible, as if Ren'Py doesn't know where the heck the JDK is despite having known before. I have builds of Seduce Me up on Google Play and Amazon which need updating FAST because apparently the keyboard is breaking the game, but I can't do anything if I can't even build Android builds anymore.

What am I missing????

Are you sure it 's the 64-bit JDK? Until this release, Ren'Py required the 32-bit JDK. (Also, make sure it's not the JRE.)

Also check the folder is in your environment path...

On windows:
Press [windows button] + R
Type SystemPropertiesAdvanced
(or taskbar Search icon, type env, find the one that says Edit Environment Variables)
Click Environment Variables
Check the one called $Path includes the jdk bin folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0\bin)

When I updated Ren'Py when I still had the x32 bit JDK, the program literally greyed out everything as if it no longer recognized it. So when I updated and downloaded the x64, I expected it to reroute, but it still won't recognize. I am confused to which it needs now and how to make Ren'Py re-recognize that I have the JDK ( I have double verified that it is the JDK not the JRE)

I have it set to the latest I have (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_201\bin) and Ren'Py STILL will not recognize it.

I'm having the same problem but mines a bit worse - the Install SDK button comes up with :

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

@VAPMichaelaLaws

What version of Ren'Py are you running?
If you have (semi recently) updated, I would advise:
Find the RAPT folder and delete it (maybe copy/save it elsewhere for safe keeping)
Start the Build Android Distribution thing again and let Ren'Py lead the way...

7.1.13 afaik needs fully up to date RAPT

@Triority (aka thread-jacker ;) )
What version of Ren'Py?
Have you updated RAPT?
If 7.1.13 or after, are you using Java JDK (not JRE) 64 bit version 8 with it set on system $path ?

Yes, using the latest version of Ren'Py (and it's in PATH). RAPT was downloaded automatically

Path is PATH=C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\WINDOWS\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_201\bin;C:\Users\njk98\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;

It also fails on a machine that has never had JDK (or Ren'Py) installed on it - some part of the download process of the JDK that Ren'Py initiates fails for some reason (even though Ren'Py states otherwise), and the rest of the options aren't available.

Unfortunately not - the problem occurs somewhere before that, although it may work on the other machine
