Not getting uniform from Shader fragment with glGetUniformLocation [on hold]

My fragment shader looks like this:

#version 450

out vec4 frag_colour;

uniform vec4 u_Color;

void main () {

    frag_colour = u_Color; 

}

colorGlobal is a float changing its value upon buttonclick, initialized to float 0.0. when I run this code:

int locationColour = glGetUniformLocation(shader_program, "u_Color");



glUniform4f(locationColour, 0.9f, 0.3f, colorGlobal, 1.0f);

in my while (!glfwWindowShouldClose (window))

im getting -1 printed out for the locationColour. What could I have missed here?

when hardcoding the fragment shader like this:

#version 450

out vec4 frag_colour;

void main () {

    frag_colour = vec4 (0.3, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0); 

}

Then im getting a purple triangle. Any suggestions on why the uniform is not working properly?

Did you glUseProgram before glUniform4f?

Yeah, right before the while loop.

Are you also calling glUniform4f before the while loop? Note that the currently attached program must be shader_program for you to be able to set the uniform for it.

Thanks alot for your time guys. I did a horrible misstake, declared my shader_program as a global int and also a local int in the function where i link, attach the files. So I was using the global one which is only an int for the glGetUniformLocation.
