[@vaiebhavpatil2340]

superb. wasted 5+ hours yesterday trying to make javafx work but a 10minute video of yours explained everything and the code runs too. well done.

[@eude_alencar]

he is top, me too trying too very kkkkk

[@Nicolis124f72]

For those of you who encountered an error JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application, make sure you are pasting the vmArgs in the array of configuration where the name of the "mainClass" matches to the current class name you are currently at. If you are exactly following the video it means the app.js, but incase you changed it, make sure you are pasting the vmArgs in that specific array member.

[@kaujla8435]

This x1000. You can also add that same vmArgs statement to as many elements as you want (i.e., every file in the project if you want) in the array so they all run without you having to go in and switch where the vmArgs statement is.

[@mahfoudbem4302]

Thanks so much, ping this comment please

[@youceftati4482]

I didn't comment for about a decade in KZbin , but you really deserve this comment , you saved hours from me , you have my thanks , mate

[@DalandanReal]

So technically just add comma because configuration is an array and I just add another array value in the configuration?

thanks.

for anyone who is receiving an Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application, in the launch.json make SURE that at the end of the vmArgs module path you have the /lib after your javaFX sdk. otherwise it will not be able to find the modules

[@carlosmaemo]

Im getting this error, and i have the /lib folder

[@Daljeet_kaur13]

​@@carlosmaemo same with me....have you solved it and how can I solve it?

[@carlosmaemo]

@@Daljeet_kaur13 update the visual studio code and restart

[@luismata3697]

If you already have the lib in the path and the error remains, try changing the "/" to "\\" in your path

[@B-ad7889]

Everything works it's just that when I press run, my application doesn't actually pop up, so its like its still loading or something. Nothing is even frozen I can still exit and stop debugging while it's running/debugging.

i did the same steps , but it is showing message "Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application" what to do now?

[@nml4546]

Thanks, I have been developing JavaFX with JetBrains Intellij, but I needed an alternative. I tried Eclipse, but it doesn't support JDK21. So this is an alternative, I will try to recreate one of my Intellij Projects with VSCode.

[@sabarivasanvelayutham9256]

If someone still gets a problem involving ClassNot Found Exception or any other errors related to javafx , i request you all that , to remove this problem , the only way is to uninstall java , javafx , jdk and reinstall it again without hesitation . One more thing to note down is that after uninstalling what i have said , remove the paths which you have added in the system variables ( paths which involve the term java )and after installing , add the path names without any error . Now try to run the javafx project followed by the video , surely you will get yr result :)

[@ReptilianLaserbeam]

I come from the future to let yall know that this has been included on the official java fx documentation

Each time when i open vs code for JavaFX project, i have to load libraries.And for each new file created i have to code 'vrgs' with javafx path.Is there any alternative default settings for that?

[@used-sandwich]

I've encountered a weird issue If I click either of the Run | Debug options next to the main method, the code works fine If i hit F5 to run Debug, Ctrl + F5 to run without Debugging, or Ctrl + Alt + N to just run the application I get the JavaFX runtime components missing error. I really doubt that this is supposed to be happening

Hello, i did follow all your steps but it seems I hab an issue because there is an error saying Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application, even tho I've changed the configuration file as well. The configuration part, when I type vmArgs it seems the text color is different with above code, maybe that is the problem but idk how to fix it. Thank you

You have to make sure that you're putting the vmArgs in the correct configuration. Mine worked after adding the vmArgs in the ("name": "Launch Current File" section)
