newOpenGLContextCreated doesn't start in Juce 8

General JUCE discussion

Hi, I’m getting an odd problem with Juce 8 compared to Juce 7.
I have a context in my PluginEditor with this in constructor:

openGLContext.setOpenGLVersionRequired(OpenGLContext::openGL3_2);
	openGLContext.setRenderer(this);
	openGLContext.attachTo(*this);
	openGLContext.setSwapInterval(1);
	openGLContext.setContinuousRepainting(true);

newOpenGLContextCreated is not being called at all until I manually resize the plug-in.
Calling resized in code doesn’t help either.

Does anyone know what’s going on here in Juce 8?Preformatted text

Here is a simple project that uses OpenGL
Created with Projucer 8.02
I’ve tested it with Windows 10 FL Studio, Ableton live, and Cubase Elements 10

I just created a new project and added the OpenGL module, then set up the simple OpenGL stuff in the code. Is there something I’m missing?..

The function newOpenGLContextCreated() never gets called, does anyone know why?
I think it was called in FL Studio, but not on a saved project!

This issue seems similar to one I reported previously. It originated from commit 555b667 but has been fixed as of commit f5f758c in the develop branch.

I didn’t see your previous problem with it, thanks for tracking down the commit, I’ll try going back. I wonder if it’s an Async issue, and a wait is needed somewhere in the init process? It’s odd that I can compile an old OpenGL project and it runs fine. Just not a new one like the project I posted above.
It’s not calling newOpenGLContextCreated at all.

Just to confirm, I can reproduce this behaviour in a plugin project on Windows 11, but it is fixed on the develop branch by this commit:

Brilliant! That worked great.

Thanks for checking it out.

I can use ‘develop’ on a new project.
I guess things have moved around quite a lot for such an old piece of code to fail.
