Howdy!
I'm migrating a code-base from JavaFX 8 to JavaFX 11, and I'm seeing some weird
behavior. I have some CSS that looks like this (in part)
.root {
-theme-button: #0679DE;
}
.button-primary {
-fx-background-color: -theme-button;
}
It's been working great in JavaFX 8 for quite a long while. When I load the
same app, I get messages like this written to the console.
Jun 08, 2021 10:40:07 AM javafx.scene.CssStyleHelper calculateValue
WARNING: Caught 'java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.String cannot be
cast to class javafx.scene.paint.Paint (java.lang.String is in module java.base
of loader 'bootstrap'; javafx.scene.paint.Paint is in module
javafx.graphics@11.0.11 of loader 'platform')' while converting value for
'-fx-background-color' from rule '*.button-primary' in stylesheet
file:/Users/will/github/dgs-tool/out/production/dgs-lib/dsn-dark.css
Surprisingly, the color seems to still get set—but warnings written to the
console are worrying.
If I replace -theme-button with #0679DE in the .button-primary style, the
message goes away.
I'm seeing this for -fx-background-color and -fx-border-color, but not for any
other places where I use looked-up colors.
Any ideas?
