I get the following exception when running a simple program demonstrating the use of the TreeView control:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Error while creating node:class javafx.scene.layout.StackPane id:null

The error occurs when expanding or closing TreeItems with children.

Here is the SSCCE:

import static javafx.application.Application.launch;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Tab;
import javafx.scene.control.TabPane;
import javafx.scene.control.TreeItem;
import javafx.scene.control.TreeView;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class TreeViewTest extends Application {
    Tab treeTab;
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        TabPane pane = new TabPane();
        Scene scene = new Scene(pane,800,600);
        treeTab = new Tab("Tree");
        pane.getTabs().addAll(treeTab);
        primaryStage.setTitle("F(X)yz - Collision Test");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
        makeTree();
    }
    private void makeTree(){
        TreeItem<String> treeItemRoot = new TreeItem<> ("Root");         
        TreeItem<String> nodeItemA = new TreeItem<>("Item A");
        TreeItem<String> nodeItemB = new TreeItem<>("Item B");
        TreeItem<String> nodeItemC = new TreeItem<>("Item C");
        treeItemRoot.getChildren().addAll(nodeItemA, nodeItemB, nodeItemC);        
        TreeItem<String> nodeItemCA = new TreeItem<>("Item CA");
        TreeItem<String> nodeItemCB = new TreeItem<>("Item CB");
        nodeItemC.getChildren().addAll(nodeItemCA, nodeItemCB);         
        TreeItem<String> nodeItemA1 = new TreeItem<>("Item A1");
        TreeItem<String> nodeItemA2 = new TreeItem<>("Item A2");
        TreeItem<String> nodeItemA3 = new TreeItem<>("Item A3");
        nodeItemA.getChildren().addAll(nodeItemA1, nodeItemA2, nodeItemA3);         
        TreeView<String> treeView = new TreeView<>(treeItemRoot);
        treeTab.setContent(treeView);        
    }        
     public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}

This is running on jdk1.8.0_162 in Netbeans 8.2 on WIndows 7.

Please can anyone suggest an improvement to get rid of the error. Thanks.

  • hmm ... worksform in 8_151 and 9_01 - would not expect an "intermediate" misbehaviour in 8_161. On the other hand: faintly remember having seen a weird bug around treeView recently, but can't find it ... could you please add the stacktrace? Commented Mar 16, 2018 at 10:04

    That got me worried so I copied the file to a 'clean project - I still get the error when I run it. However, googling org.fxconnector.node.SVNodeFactory has led me to the ScenicView source code. I then remembered I had ScenicView running!!! Commented Mar 16, 2018 at 13:28

    After the closing ScenicView the test program now works as expected. Thanks for your comment. I still think it is probably a bug as I don't think that ScenicView should cause a RuntimeException. Commented Mar 16, 2018 at 13:35

    glad you found the reason :) Most probably a bug, I would suspect ScenicView to be the culprit ... Commented Mar 16, 2018 at 13:42

    Just to confirm, had the exact same problem here. Running Javafx 11.0.2 under linux and also saw the stacktraces. I also had ScenicView running in the background. Closed it and the stacktrace is gone! :) thanks @jimbo8 for leading me to it :) Commented Mar 29, 2019 at 10:54

I encountered this as well so I'll put the @jimbo8's comment as the answer:

This is caused by ScenicView.

Close ScenicView and you won't get this error anymore.
