Cannot invoke "javax.swing.JProgressBar.setVisible(boolean)" because "this.progressBar" is null

[everythingability]

I reported this here:
#567

Got told off last time I reported this because this repo is for Processing itself... but this is Processing itself.

I'm on 4.1.1 on a Mac (64) and it still happens. I have a few libraries to update...

... but when I click update, I get the below message - and it seems a progress bar is what's stopping it. Hardly progress :-)

Could it be that my Java is broke perhaps? Just guessing

[benfry]

There's no need to be so negative. Nobody “told you off.” Someone not involved with the development of the software misunderstood the issue you were having.

When a I first had the chance, I confirmed it was a bug: #567 (comment) and worked on what seemed to be a fix and posted a new release for you with 4.0.2.

I'm sorry to hear it's still not working. I'll see when I can find time to fix it and post a new release, but because I do this in my spare time, I can't specify an exact time that will be.

Apologies, didn't mean to sound so negative. It left me unsure as to where to even report this, and didn't want to annoy anyone. :-)

Massive thanks to everyone (and you) for Processing.

Resolved again for 4.1.2 or 4.2 (whatever comes after 4.1.1).

[KlausWestphal]

Had the same problem. (Processing 4.0.8b on Linux Mint 20.3 Una)
Updating the libraries one by one worked, though.
