If your Delphi project is built with "Build with runtime packages" enabled, ensure that madExcept (or madexcept-.bpl) is not unchecked. Go to:
Project > Options > Packages > Runtime Packages
Look for madExcept in the list. It must be checked if your code uses MadExcept features.
In automated test pipelines, you can suppress the UI and write reports directly to disk: madexcept-.bpl
MadExceptionHandler.ShowDialog := False;
MadExceptionHandler.OutputFolder := 'C:\CI\CrashReports';
The CI server can then parse the generated HTML or JSON reports to fail builds on unhandled exceptions. If your Delphi project is built with "Build
madExcept is a commercial product. If you deploy madexcept-.bpl alongside your application, you must have a valid madExcept license. The .bpl itself is not royalty-free unless you have purchased a developer license that permits redistribution. The CI server can then parse the generated
A filename like madexcept-.bpl could arise in several scenarios:
If you are a Delphi or C++Builder developer, you have likely encountered a cryptic error message or a lingering process in Task Manager referencing a file named madexcept-.bpl. At first glance, the name looks like a typo or a corrupted file. However, understanding what madexcept-.bpl is, why it appears, and how to troubleshoot issues related to it is crucial for maintaining stable Delphi applications, especially those using third-party exception handling.
This article provides a comprehensive deep dive into the madexcept-.bpl file, its role in the MadExcept ecosystem, common errors associated with it, and step-by-step solutions.
