FXML Load Exception no resources specified

Question

I am starting to build a program with SceneBuilder and JetBrains IDE, i want to internationalize the program so i made a properties file. Everything works fine on the SceneBuilder but when i try to run the program with JetBrains i get this exception

This is the code i have so far

public class Main extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception{
        Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("sample.fxml"));
        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 1200, 1000));
        primaryStage.show();
    }


    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}

FXML File:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?import javafx.geometry.Insets?>
<?import javafx.scene.Cursor?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Button?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.HBox?>

<BorderPane maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.111" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1">
   <top>
      <HBox spacing="20.0" BorderPane.alignment="CENTER">
         <children>
            <Button mnemonicParsing="false" text="%newWorkButton">
               <cursor>
                  <Cursor fx:constant="CLOSED_HAND" />
               </cursor></Button>
            <Button mnemonicParsing="false" text="%dbButton" />
         </children>
         <padding>
            <Insets bottom="15.0" left="15.0" right="15.0" top="15.0" />
         </padding>
         <BorderPane.margin>
            <Insets />
         </BorderPane.margin>
      </HBox>
   </top>
</BorderPane>

I know that the problem occurred while trying to load the properties file, but why it is working in the SceneBuilder and it doesn't work when i try to run it?

PS: The problem happens when %newWorkButton or %dbButton appears because that is the part where it uses the property file.

Answer 1

I am answering my own post because i was able to find the answer a few days ago. As you can see in Main i had this line loading the fxml:

Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("sample.fxml"))

But since i am using a property file i need to load it too, so this is what i did:

 ResourceBundle resources = ResourceBundle.getBundle("Language/lang_pt");;

 Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("sample.fxml"),resources);

Genius thank you. I had just done some i18n work but at the same time converted from Groovy -> Kotlin Gradle build scripts so was thinking it was something there instead! – Lifton

Answer 2

I'm having a similar issue. I just found this and realized that I had forgotten to load my ResourceBundle and my app is blowing up on an i18n resource. I found my answer on this post:

javaFX application error: No resources specified

Please don't share a link here. Because after some year link will be broken or not available. So please share your solution here. – Chimere

Answer 3

you must replace "/" with "." like this

 ResourceBundle resources = ResourceBundle.getBundle("Language.lang_pt");

This is not the problem.You can use "/" or ".". – Reforest
