Nextion not sending data to Arduino (recvRetCommandFinished err)

Question

I've problem with Nextion NX4024T032_011. I can send data to it from Nextion to Arduino , but the problem is Tx led in arduino blinks. Where as data from arduino is not accepted by Nextion as far i observed On Serial port i can only see "recvRetCommandFinished err" just after opening Serial-Monitor:recvRetCommandFinished err

The GUI Created in nextion is : Nextion GUI

If I Press the button in Serial monitor I am able to view : Serial Output but the number is not printed and incremented or decremented in display

I'm using this libary: Nextion library for Arduino mega 2560 with communication using Serial2

NexConfig.h

#define nexSerial Serial2

Arduino Code :

    #include "Nextion.h"

void t0PopCallback(void *ptr);
void b0PopCallback(void *ptr);
void b1PopCallback(void *ptr);

NexText t0 = NexText(0, 3, "t0");
NexButton b0 = NexButton(0, 1 ,"b0");
NexButton b1 = NexButton(0, 2, "b1");

char buffer[100] = {0};

NexTouch *nex_listen_list[] = 
{
    &t0,
    &b0,
    &b1,
    NULL
};

void t0PopCallback(void *ptr)
{
    dbSerialPrintln("t0PopCallback");
    t0.setText("50");
}

void b0PopCallback(void *ptr)
{
    uint16_t len;
    uint16_t number;

    dbSerialPrintln("b0PopCallback");

    memset(buffer, 0, sizeof(buffer));
    t0.getText(buffer, sizeof(buffer));

    number = atoi(buffer);
    number += 1;

    memset(buffer, 0, sizeof(buffer));
    itoa(number, buffer, 10);

    t0.setText(buffer);

    digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
}

void b1PopCallback(void *ptr)
{
    uint16_t len;
    uint16_t number;

    dbSerialPrintln("b1PopCallback");

    memset(buffer, 0, sizeof(buffer));
    t0.getText(buffer, sizeof(buffer));

    number = atoi(buffer);
    number -= 1;

    memset(buffer, 0, sizeof(buffer));
    itoa(number, buffer, 10);

    t0.setText(buffer);

    digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
}

void setup(void)
{
    pinMode(LED_BUILTIN,OUTPUT); 

    nexInit();
    t0.attachPop(t0PopCallback);
    b0.attachPop(b0PopCallback);
    b1.attachPop(b1PopCallback);
    dbSerialPrintln("setup done");
}

void loop(void)
{
    nexLoop(nex_listen_list);
}

Any tips for changing that err to OK in recvRetCommandFinished err

This is the return of the function "recvRetCommandFinished()" in the NexHardware.cpp

If you analyse this file, you will find out when you receive this string:

recvRetCommandFinished err

That means the arduino couldn't read the response from the serial that Nextion is attached to, specified in NexConfig.h

I had a similar issue, and when I revised my hardware connections, I could figured out what was happen on the electronics, not on sketch.
