Can't draw a pixel , suspecting an OpenGL state variable

[Whiteclaws]

Hey there everyone , I'm new here , not new to OpenGL tho ,

So basically , I've been scratching my head over a problem for the last 3 weeks , basically , everything works good , it's all done right , but ... it doesn't draw anything , I basically copied code from my last working app on this one , but it doesn't work

Not a vertex is drawn , and I'm sure it's not with my code , I suspect GL_GEOMETRY_VERTICES_OUT_EXT , which is set to 0 for my app , I tried another OpenGL app , and it's not set to 0 in most cases , what do you guys think ? Anything related to that variable ?

What?! It doesn't draw anything but it works good? That doesn't make any sense.

If it's a short test program, post it here (surrounding it with [code]...[/code] or [highlight=cpp]...[/highlight] tags. If it's not, post the base template for your redraw function().

Surely at some point you had it drawing "something". Do some basic kick-the-tires tests. Clear the screen to different colors. Draw a red quad with the fixed function pipeline in immediate mode -- something quick and easy.

Odd ... I tried drawing with the fixed pipeline once , and then , I re-tried drawing with the old code , and it worked , with the same code !
I swear it didn't work one second ago ...

Edit : Nvm , I was using the fixed pipeline and it worked just well ... seems like a problem with my code ; I'll post it here

private void draw() {
 
        /* Draw Function                                           //

            glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, buffer);
            enableVertexAttribs();
 
            // last parameter is obviously the number of vertexes to draw
            glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 3);
 
            disableVertexAttribs();
            glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
 
 
            /*------------------------------------------------*/
 
            Display.update();
 
        }

            vertexAttribArray.add(VectorType);
            //Adds the size of the attrib to the stride
            stride += VectorType * 4;
 
            attribNum += 1;
        }

                //Size of the current attribute (is it a Vector2f OR 3f OR 4f ?)
                int size = vertexAttribArray.get(i);
 
                /* For testing
                System.out.println(new StringBuilder().append("index : ").append(i).append(" | size : ").append(size).append(" | stride : ").append(stride - size * 4).append(" | offset : ").append(offset));*/

                glVertexAttribPointer(i, size, GL_FLOAT, false, stride - size * 4, offset);
                offset += size * 4;
 
            }
        }
 
        public static void disableVertexAttribs() {

        }

#version 330
 
   out vec4 outputColor;
 
 
   void main()
   {
      outputColor = vec4(1,1,1,1);
   }

#version 330
 
   layout(location = 0) in vec3 Position;
 
   void main()
   {
      gl_Position = (Position, 1);
   }

And after installing codexl , here are the calls I'm having (with a breakpoint at glprogram)

glCreateShader(GL_VERTEX_SHADER)
glShaderSource(1,1,0x...,0x...)
glCompileShader(1)
glGetShaderiv(1,GL_COMPIL
glCreateShader(GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER)
glShaderSource(2,1,0x...,0x...)
glCompileShader(2)
glGetShaderiv(2,GL_COMPILE_STATUS,0x...)
glCreateProgram()
glAttachShader(3,1)
glAttachShader(3,2)
glLinkProgram(3)
glGetProgramiv(3,GL_LINK_STATUS,0x...)
glValidateProgram()
glGetProgramiv(3,GL_VALIDATE_STATUS,0x...)
-> glUseProgram(3)
glGenBuffers(1,0x...)
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER,1)
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER,36,0x...,GL_STATIC_DR AW)
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER,0)
-> glUseProgram(0)
-> glUseProgram(3)
-> glUseProgram(0)
-> glUseProgram(3)
-> glUseProgram(0)

But I don't see any glDrawArrays ...

The vertex buffer is created properly but it seems that the draw code isn't working

COULD ANYONE EXPLAIN THIS NON-SENSE TO ME ?!

//Not Working
#version 330
 
 layout(location = 0) in vec3 Position;
 
 void main()
 {
    gl_Position = vec4(Position, 1);
 }
 
//Working
#version 330
 
layout(location = 0) in vec3 position;
 
void main()
{
    gl_Position = vec4(position,1);
}

Did you at least verify that draw() is being called? Put a print in there or something.

You didn't actually state what the problem is. Not working doesn't cut it. Are you getting a compile error or a GL error? Are you checking for them? You've got changes in whitespace and in the capitalization of position. Those shouldn't make any difference, unless you were binding to vertex attribute by name, which you're not.

@Dark Photon , this actually was the problem , No errors on compile , no errors in linking & validating , but it didn't work , just didn't work
