RE: [Non-DoD Source] Re: Version property (was: Let's bump Royale
version to 1.0)
Lol, I can't seem to explain it properly. Take maven/ant/config files out of the equation it doesn't matter for this example. This has to do with getting some identifying information into the official SDK releases. We don't want to pass variables as an SDK user. We want the official SDK to already come packaged with a version number or a build number or a build date...
Here's the scenario that I would love to see happen:
1. SDK user downloads official Royale SDK release and never modifies it.
2. SDK User compiles their app using official SDK and references an official SDK property that contains the SDK identifier already built in it. Meaning I should be able to code complete off of the SDK and find something that already exists and could return me an official identifier.

ok,
we do the following in maven for other needs so this will be valid for you
too:
in your maven properties.
<royale.framework.version>0.9.6-OR-WHATEVER</royale.framework.version>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.royale.compiler</groupId>
<artifactId>royale-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
...
<defines>
<property>
<name>BUILD::royaleVersion</name>
<value>'"${royale.framework.version}"'</value>
</property>
...
</defines>
...
defines can be done in ANT, asconfigc, config.xml....
Then in AS3 or MXML
/**
* ROYALE VERSION NUMBER
*/
private static var _royaleVersion :String = BUILD::royaleVersion;
So now you can use in any place you want

Posted by Mark Kessler <ke...@gmail.com>.
We can through an old mechanism that appears to be left from the
Apache Flex side that does just this.
Around line1192 of the root build.xml [1]. It specifically hunts down
files called "Version.as" and uses RegEx to update the version number
and build number. So when the SDK is built for release, it will
automatically update the Version.as files using the "release.version"
property. Meaning after we create the file(Version.as) having the
correct version format inside it.... it will be something that stays
up-to-date automatically. Little tweaks needed it looks like, but it
should work.
build.xml lines look like this:
<target name="have-greptask" if="have.greptask">
<taskdef name="grep" classname="ise.antelope.tasks.Find"
classpathref="anttask.classpath"/>
<echo message="Updating all frameworks/projects/**/Version.as files
with version ${release.version}.${build.number.date}"/>
<!-- Update all Version.as files in the kit frameworks directory-->
<replaceregexp>
<regexp pattern='"[0-9].[0-9].[0-9].[0-9]";'/>
<substitution expression='"${release.version}.${build.number.date}";'/>
<fileset dir="${ROYALE_HOME}/temp/frameworks/projects">
<include name="**/Version.as"/>
</fileset>
</replaceregexp>
</target>
I won't have a chance to test the build.xml right now to finish it,
but here is what the rest of it would look like [2] (very short).
Usage for the end user:
import org.apache.royale.core.Version;
trace(Version.CURRENT_VERSION);

There already exists one of those. That's why I kept the current file
name as it was. The following I found in the build.xml file in the
root. It looks like it would almost work out of the box. Would just
change the path to be more specific location.
<replaceregexp>
<regexp pattern='"[0-9].[0-9].[0-9].[0-9]";'/>
<substitution expression='"${release.version}.${build.number.date}";'/>

I'm fine with starting with your example. Are other versions in Royale including the build number? Are you expecting the build systems to update that file on each build? That might be trickier. The Maven builds check for uncommitted files.
Regarding your other response, I'm not sure that grep worked with Ant on Windows. It would be best to either have Ant generate the entire file or use its replaceregex task on a known pattern.

To be more specific:
Version.as in Flex was included into every class. I do not recommend doing that in Royale. It didn't have enough value for the cost.
FlexVersion.as in Flex was used for runtime versioning. Code could use it to take different paths. I hope we don't need that in Royale.
The Flex and Royale compilers will put the compiler version in SWFs but do not put any string in JS output. Someday, the Royale compiler may be released separately from the SWCs.

I meant that the VersionBead would contain the Royale SDK version. A separate version bead for the app's version would be useful too, but that's not what I was suggesting.

RE: [Non-DoD Source] Re: Version property (was: Let's bump Royale

Posted by Kessler CTR Mark J <ma...@usmc.mil.INVALID>.
As an example, here is how to access the version number in other languages. Some easier to use than others. Looks like the easiest ones are just static const strings.
Flex[1]: mx.core.FlexVersion.CURRENT_VERSION
Dotnet[2]: System.Environment.Version
Java[3]:System.getProperty("java.version");
React[4]: React.version
Angular[5]: import { VERSION } from '@angular/core'; VERSION.full
Groovy[6]: GroovySystem.getVersion();
Ruby[7]: RUBY_VERSION
Python[8]: sys.version
Node.Js[9]: process.version
PHP[10]: phpversion()
So I would like the SDK to provide something similar. It looks like we still have a mechanism setup in the build.xml we are just missing the files it's looking for (Version.as files). Let's add the following file and see if it with a little tweak in pathing would turn it into a self-managing version file when building the SDK for release. This looks like a smallest simplest mechanism to implement this. Especially since it's regex pattern matching the old version format, it doesn't matter how we layout the file.
File: Version.as
package org.apache.royale.core
{
public class Version
{
public static const CURRENT_VERSION:String = "0.9.6.0";
}
}
SDK Usage for developer:
Import org.apache.core.Version;
trace(Version.CURRENT_VERSION);

Re: RE: [Non-DoD Source] Re: Version property (was: Let's bump Royale

I think is a good idea to create a bead. But maybe is not needed to add to
Express for example by default.
People that wants it could just add it in this main Application file in the
beads section.
I think this is a good opportunity to contribute it via PR, what do you
think Mark?
just my 2...

What if Royale had some kind of VersionBead that you could add to the main application? It could be optional with Basic, but maybe baked in by default with Express and other component sets that are less focused on small output size.

This has to do with getting some identifying information into the official SDK releases. We don't want to pass variables as an SDK user. We want the official SDK to already come packaged with a version number or a build number or a build date...
