Texture::loadFromFile always fails

[betawarz]

I'm compiling code with Visual Studio 2013 and SFML 2.1. The code compiles, and runs, but Texture::loadFromFile always returns false. I've tried feeding it a relative path to the working directory, an absolute path directory to a png file, and neither seem to work. Is there a way I can see exactly what it's trying to load or the error message as to why it's failing? I can't figure out how to use sf::err() to read error messages.

Thanks!

If not redirected sf::err will write to std::err which in Windows is usually the console. But if you build a window application and deactivate the console, you won't get to see the output. So you'll end up with the following three options:

• Build a command line application, so you'll get the console again.
• Redirect sf::err in code, see the documentation for details.
• Redirect the std::cerr from outside, by starting the application from the command line and adding myexe.exe 2> err.log.
