Re: [xmlvm-users] Demos Translated to JavaScript

[D S. <dav...@ya...>]

I seem to be having no end of trouble generating the app.  It seems that if the file name has a space in it, java.io.File(String) ignores the space and everything after it.  So it's telling the path assigned to the environment variable "XMLVM_QOOXDOO_PATH" doesn't exist.  The Java API documentation is oddly silent on the issue.  So after a number of futile attempts to encode/escape the space characters, I commented out the parts in org.xmlvm.proc.out.QooxdooOutputProcess.peformSanityChecks() that check if the qooxdoo directory and the app-creating script exist, rebuilt the jar file, and tried again.  XMLVM is now telling me that the output directory (build/js) isn't a valid qx project because the file build/js/temp_cache/temp_qx_app/generate.py doesn't exist.

On a related question, before I started playing around with XMLVM, I noticed that XML11 generates the JS without the need for python.  What is XML11 using to generate the app?

Thanks,

D

The way you translated the app will only give you the JS code of that single file, and not a whole app that works. In order to get an app that is usable and that contains all the required dependencies, you need to use the --target=qooxdoo flag. I am actually not sure if the AbsoluteCalculator works, I haven't tried it in a while. But I will keep this in mind and try to check it on the weekend.

I also see it has some dependencies that where not generated with in the file, such as the objects java_lang_Object and qx.  The latter I realize is part of the qooxdoo framework, but I find that a bit perplexing since the command flag "--target=qooxdoo" specifies a qooxdoo js app.
