Resources_Delegate.initSystem called twice before disposeSystem was called

[hardysim]

I get the following error sometimes (a retry works sometimes and sometimes it's working directly) when running the verify-command on paparazzi 1.0.0:

I'm using a PreviewParameterProvider and for such previews, I'm running snapshot() multiple times in a loop (adding a name-suffix for each golden image). I have a feeling, that this error started showing up once I've added this. But since it's working fine sometimes this might be a timing issue? Any ideas?

@hardysim hey, we recently updated layoutlib to 2021.2.1-patch1, could you try to run your code with the snapshot and see if it's still happening?

[brudaswen]

I tried adding this patch-version of layoutlib as a dependency. But the error still occurs.

[jrodbx]

@hardysim @brudaswen can you provide a minimal sample? would help us diagnose the issue much faster!

[brudaswen]

I will try to figure out why one of our tests is running into this issue. Maybe I can narrow it down. Thanks for your help.

[andersu]

I had the same error and in my case it looks like it was caused by the file I was testing not having a package name that matched the folder it was in. It must have not been updated when I moved the file out of the app module. So after this change the Resources_Delegate.initSystem called twice before disposeSystem was called went away:

Might not be the same bug that the others are experiencing, but maybe it helps someone.

[jrodbx]

Thanks @andersu for that helpful tip!

I'm closing this since it seems like a test setup issue vs a paparazzi issue.

[hardysim]

I double checked our namespace and it's matching the folder name (and the name of the composable to be tested). It's still happening. Maybe @brudaswen has some more ideas? But I think this is still an issue and should be reopened.

We are also seeing this sporadically on CI with 1.1.0. It seems like if it was a namespace issue it wouldn't be spurious, and it doesn't seem like this should be closed

[ashley-figueira]

For us this happened because one of our screens that we were testing with paparazzi had a LottieAnimation composable and it was causing this exact issue.

[elihart]

The problem also turned out to be Lottie for us 😓 thanks for the tip @ashley-figueira !

It seems like if there is a crash in the composable UI then it might break some internal state of Paparazzi, resulting in this downstream error

Still seeing this sporadically on CI with version 1.3.5
