We Keep Coding

Why is my Java static block is not executing? (Extremely simple example. Other answers don't seem to apply.)

I've included my code below. Following some other examples, I even tried to dynamically load the class in order to force it to run the static block, but that doesn't solve my problem. The class is loaded and class.getName() is printed successfully, but still, when it gets to the last line in the main method it throws an error saying the array is null.
All the other answers address things which don't seem to apply here, like how using the "final" keyword can allow the compiler to skip static blocks. Any help is appreciated!
package helper;
public class StaticTest {
public static boolean [] ALL_TRUE;
private static void setArray(){
ALL_TRUE = new boolean[8];
for(int i=0;i<ALL_TRUE.length;i++){
ALL_TRUE[i] = true;
}
}
static {
setArray();
}
public static void main(String [] args){
ClassLoader cLoader = StaticTest.class.getClassLoader();
try{
Class aClass = cLoader.loadClass("helper.StaticTest");
System.out.println("aClass.getName() = " + aClass.getName());
} catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
e.printStackTrace(System.out);
}
System.out.println(StaticTest.ALL_TRUE[0]);
}
}

In case anyone else lands here, the problem was that I had checked the Netbeans option "Compile on Save" (under Build->Compiling). Somehow, compiling files immediately upon saving was preventing the static block from being run.
Again, thanks to everyone who chimed in to verify that the code itself worked as expected.

Calling Java Code in C# using IKVM results in System.TypeInitializationException error

I am currently trying to call Java Code in C#. One possibility is IKVM, whereupon I looked at a tutorial for this tool. I have to say, and that's really curious: the tool seems to work in part.
But now to my problem:
So I took the following tutorial (https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/594632/IKVM-NET-in-Details). Following this example, I wrote my own Java code. In addition, I have added a few more methods to the java file. My source code for testing is relatively short:
The Java source code:
package TestProject;
public class TestClassJava {
public static void Print() {
System.out.println("Hi C# from JAVA");
}
public static void PrintStr(String str) {
System.out.println(str);
}
public static String returnString() {
return "Hi C# from Java method";
}
public static String returnInputString(String input) {
return input;
}
public static int retInt() {
return 42;
}
public static int returnIntNumber(int inp) {
return inp;
}
public static boolean returnTrueBoolean() {
return true;
}
}
The C# source code:
using System;
using System.IO;
using TestProject;
using ikvm.io;
using ikvm.lang;
using ikvm;
using ikvm.runtime;
using ikvm.extensions;
namespace IKVM_Test_Case_08_08_2019
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(TestClassJava.retInt()); // shows: 42 (works!)
Console.WriteLine(TestClassJava.returnString()); // shows: Hi C# from Java method (works!)
TestClassJava.Print(); // here appears the error System.TypeInitializationException
TestClassJava.PrintStr("Hallo"); // here appears the error System.TypeInitializationException
Console.WriteLine(TestClassJava.Print()); // can not convert from void to bool
}
}
}
The whimsical part now happens while running the program in C#. I try the methods in C# via Console.WriteLine(TestClassJava.retInt()); then, for example, the number 42 will be given to me, as it should be. I can also call the method returnString().
In the methods without return value, however, Print() & PrintStr(String str), I always get the following error message:
Error message:
System.TypeInitializationException
HResult=0x80131534
Message=The type initializer for 'java.lang.StdIO' threw an exception.
Source=IKVM.OpenJDK.Core
StackTrace:

MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Void System.IO.FileStream..ctor(System.String, System.IO.FileMode, System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemRights, System.IO.FileShare, Int32, System.IO.FileOptions)'.
I can not quite explain that, so I asked this question in the hope, that someone knows an advice.
According to the quoted tutorial, it all had to work that way. Nevertheless, I get this error message.
I hope my question is so far understandable.

I get bugs in whatever i write on my editor using inteliJ in Java.(maybe an IDE problem?) [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Does Java support inner / local / sub methods?
(5 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
After some time I tested this simple code and still I had errors.
The errors that I got on this example was the following:
line 4 cannot resolve method a.
Line 6:first: ';' expected,second: Expression expected,third: Variable 'a' is never used.
So I don't get it. Whatever I try I get errors. I even downloaded some code in java from an IntelliJ developer and when I pasted on my editor I still got errors with methods and even the System.out.println. I tried to write in Eclipse but even there I got errors. Please help. I want so much to study but I am getting frustrated with these things.
public class asdf {
public static void main(String[] args) {
a();
static void a() {
System.out.println("asdfff");
}
}
}

Just get your a() method declaration out of the main :
public class asdf {
public static void main(String[] args) {
a();
}
static void a() {
System.out.println("asdfff");
}
}

Not executing while running the java program in geany

I don't think there are any problems in my java code since I ran the program properly in BluJ, but I use geany extensively instead. However, a strange problem occurred today while building the program in geany. I have defined the main method properly in my code, but despite my program got compiled without any errors, while running it after executing the program in geany I got this error:
Error: Main method not found in class Ter, please define the main method as: public static void main(String[] args) or a JavaFX
application class must extend javafx.application.Application
My program is:
public class Ter {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int scored=3;
int concede=5;
char result = (scored > concede) ? 'W':'L';
System.out.println(result);
}
}

How to inject method its return value?

I am not even sure if this is possible, but I came up with this idea because of this question: Change private static final field using Java reflection
So this is the scenario:
public static String test() {
return "test test test";
}
What I want to do this let the test() method return "worked" instead of "test test test".
Does anybody have an idea how to accomplish this?
EDIT:
I downloaded powermock and tried this:
package test;
import org.powermock.api.easymock.PowerMock;
public class InjectorTest {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
System.out.println("Before the injection:");
System.out.println(test());
PowerMock.mockStatic(InjectorTest.class);
PowerMock.doReturn("worked").when(InjectorTest.class, "test");
System.out.println("After the injection:");
System.out.println(test());
}
public static String test() {
return "did not work :(";
}
}
But eclipse gives this error: The method doReturn(String) is undefined for the type PowerMock
Did I download the wrong one or was that a bad sample code?
Because I don't want more votedowns, WHY I want to do this?
I want to inject Minecraft in that way that it doesn't uses the user.home but a relative URI.
In this way I can make a pre-installed portable Minecraft for an USB stick for school :D

I think PowerMock can do this. (Java reflection under the hood)
With PowerMock, your code would look like this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
PowerMock.mockStatic(Foo.class);
PowerMock.doReturn("worked").when(Foo.class, "test");
System.out.println(Foo.test());
}
