Problems building widget

[Henning Eriksson <he...@educ.umu.se>]

Hi,

After my latest download of Wookie there is problems building a widget. 
I tried to create a widget with ant seed-widget and that works fine. But 
when I try to build the widget with ant I get following message:

Buildfile: build.xml

_validate:

BUILD FAILED
/Users/henning/Project/wookie/widgets/build.xml:30: Please run your ant 
targets from within the root directory of Wookie to ensure your 
environment is correctly set up.

Total time: 0 seconds

In an earlier version it works.

Best regards,

I recently added the above error message during a training session when 
people were getting confused as to where to run the scripts.

You don't say how you are trying to build the build the widget or from 
what directory. In general the more information you can provide the 
easier it is for us to reproduce and thus debug the problem.

After a little experimentation I was able to reproduce this problem, and 
indeed it is a bug.

I'll fix in SVN very soon, but I have some in progress work that 
prevents me committing the fix right now.

As a workaround you can make things work by adding:

<property name="deployToDev" value="true"/>

As the first line in the "build-widget" target of the root build.xml file
