Gui Class not passing variables

[crazykid080 14]

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, I am passing  a reference to my main class to set variables but it doesn't seem to be working.
Snippets:
 

SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> new MainGui(this));
------------
doneButton.addActionListener(e -> {
            reference.setItemList(itemList);
            reference.isRunning = true;
        });
-------
public int onLoop() {
        if (isRunning) {
          //Do stuff
        }

I tested this by changing isRunning to a debug method and other debug logging and it seems to be doing nothing.

There seems to be nothing wrong with the code you posted, but you're not showing us it all. I assume your code looks somewhat like the following

public class Main {

    public boolean isRunning;

    public void onStart() {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> {
            new MainGui(this);
        });
    }

    public int onLoop() {
        if (isRunning) {

        }
        return 0;
    }

}

public class MainGui {

    public MainGui(Main reference) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        JButton doneButton = new JButton();
        doneButton.addActionListener(l -> {
            reference.isRunning = true;
        });
        frame.getContentPane().add(doneButton);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

}

Yeah let me expand what I'm doing a bit more because I went in depth more. 
 

public void onStart() {
        //unrelated setup
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> new MainGui(this));
        //more unrelated setup
    }

After that I have the MainGui class (built by IntelliJ gui builder
 

    public MainGui(Starter reference) {
        this.reference = reference;
        
        doneButton.addActionListener(e -> {
            //Checks for what to add
            this.done(itemList);
        });
      //frame setup  
      JFrame frame = new JFrame("MainGui");
        frame.setContentPane(this.mainPanel);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    private void done(List<String> x) {
        this.reference.setItemList(x);
        this.reference.isRunning = true;
    }

After that it goes into onLoop and checks for the isRunning boolean. If I'm missing anything relevant please let me know

This looks pretty similar to how I'm going about it so I'm not sure why it's not working.

Throw a log("onLoop") in your onloop or something to make sure that's even being called. I'm guessing Starter is your main class and contains onLoop?

 

Also, just a wee note, get rid of this:

frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);

Since if someone closes your GUI it'll close out DB completely.

Yeah I did a log for onLoop with the isRunning variable and it's definitely looping, isRunning just isn't being set to true, and as for the default operation, EXIT_ON_CLOSE would be the one that exits out.

Source: My own mistake using EXIT_ON_CLOSE that was fixed after realizing

Oh whoops you're correct. Ignore me.

Not sure what the issue is with your code though, might be helpful to post more of it?

Yeah I think I'll have to. 
So this is part of my main class

public boolean isRunning;
@Override
    public void onStart() {
        worlds = Worlds.all(world -> Worlds.getNormalizedWorlds().contains(world) && Worlds.noMinimumLevel().contains(world) && world.isF2P());
        localPlayer = getLocalPlayer();
        index = 0;
        utils = new BotUtils(localPlayer);
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> new MainGui(this));
    }

    @Override
    public int onLoop() {
        log(this.isRunning);
        if (this.isRunning) {
          //code that doesn't get to run
        }

This is the code I wrote for the gui in MainGui

List<String> staffList;
    private Starter reference;

public MainGui(Starter reference) {
        this.reference = reference;

        doneButton.addActionListener(e -> {
            if (staffCB.isSelected()) staffList.add("Staff");
            if (magicStaffCB.isSelected()) staffList.add("Magic staff");
            if (airStaffCB.isSelected()) staffList.add("Staff of air");
            if (waterStaffCB.isSelected()) staffList.add("Staff of water");
            if (earthStaffCB.isSelected()) staffList.add("Staff of earth");
            if (fireStaffCB.isSelected()) staffList.add("Staff of fire");
            this.done(staffList);
        });
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("MainGui");
        frame.setContentPane(this.mainPanel);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
private void done(List<String> x) {
        this.reference.setStaffList(x);
        this.reference.isRunning = true;
    }

(It honestly makes me feel validated knowing that this is something stumping more than just me and isn't just something I overlooked)

Is this working? I still don't see any issues. :/

Are you returning a value in the onLoop?

I will check, but considering isRunning isn't being set I doubt it. Result: Yep. Also null

I should be but I will check this as well. Result: Yes I am
