FXML Load exception

Question

I got a problem that I absolutely can't solve on my own because I have just started using JAVA FX. I get a nasty javafx.fxml.LoadException: , but I have done exactly like a guide, but I cant get my Main to run. This is the the exception output:

Answer 1

I had the same problem today and for those who may have it and (like me) are looking for an answer for that:

You may have changed any component Id on your Controller file and forgot to update the Id on sceneBuilder (or FXML file)[or Vice-Versa], so the Controller can't link the component on View file.

For Exemple: (On Controller file)

@FXML
Button btnName1

(On FXML file or SceneBuilder)

fx:id="btnName_1"

:-)

Answer 2

The problem is in source

So, you've got to change it to a proper one

So do that, edit the source of the fxml file here

AnchorPane root = (AnchorPane) FXMLLoader.load(Main.class.getResource("LoginGUI.fxml"));

with this one

AnchorPane root = (AnchorPane) FXMLLoader.load(Main.class.getResource("/packagename/LoginGUI.fxml"));

Answer 3

I experienced this issue too. I found that I did not add the package name to the controller name given in the FXML file; I initially just added the Controller class name. For example: if my controller class is under com.stackoverflow.gui package and the name of my controller class is LoginController. The FXML file should have com.stackoverflow.gui.LoginController and not just LoginController
