how to compile MXML module with ANT
Hi, I'm experiencing a problem and it has me completely baffled.
BTW: sorry if you receive this twice. I accidentally sent it to the old flex-users@incubator... list... I'm posting again here to make sure I do in fact get my question out to the community.
I have a project using flex4.5.1A
it has many modules.
I have set up an ant script with builds the main swf perfectly.
I'm now trying to set up the building of the modules.
I have the module defined as such:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Module xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
implements="com.------.modules.IVolatileAssets"
width="400" height="300"
creationComplete="onDummy(event)"
>
the interface IVolatileAssets is in the same package as the module itself. In FlashBuilder this compiles perfectly. It works perfectly too. we have it IN PRODUCTION TODAY and millions of ppl use it daily.
when I use the following ANT build script:
<macrodef name="buildModule">
<attribute name="module-name" default="none" />
<attribute name="module-package" default="none" />
<attribute name="out-path" default="." />
<sequential>
<echo message="building @{module-name} to @{out-path}/@{module-name}.swf" />
<mxmlc file="${APP_ROOT}/src/@{module-package}/@{module-name}.mxml"
output="${DEPLOY_DIR}/@{out-path}/@{module-name}.swf"
keep-generated-actionscript="false"
incremental="false"
debug="true"
load-externs="${ANT_ROOT}/link-report.xml"
>
<load-config filename="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks/flex-config.xml"/>
<source-path path-element="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks"/>
<source-path path-element="${APP_ROOT}/src/@{module-package}"/>
<source-path path-element="${APP_ROOT}/src/@{module-package}/interfaces"/>
<compiler.library-path dir="${HOF_COMMON_ROOT}" append="true">
<include name="bin"/>
</compiler.library-path>
<compiler.library-path dir="${APP_ROOT}" append="true">
<include name="libs"/>
</compiler.library-path>
<compiler.library-path dir="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks" append="true">
<include name="libs" />
<include name="../bundles/{locale}" />
</compiler.library-path>
<source-path path-element="${APP_ROOT}/src/locale/{locale}"/>
</mxmlc>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<target name="modulesDebug" depends="lobbyDependencies" description="Build the lobby modules for debug">
<buildModule module-name="VolatileAssets" module-package="com/-----/modules" out-path="modules3"/>
</target>
i get the following error:
[mxmlc] F:\var\projects\hof\svn2.------.com\lobby\branches\3.1.39.0\src\com\hof\lobby\modules\VolatileAssets.mxml(-1): Error: Interface IVolatileAssets was not found.
[mxmlc] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
BUILD FAILED
F:\var\projects\hof\svn2.--------.com\lobby\branches\3.1.39.0\build.xml:97: The following error occurred while executing this line:
I have redacted the lines where our URL is shown for obvious reasons. What I don't understand AT ALL is how this interface could not be found. it is in the same folder as my module file, and the mxmlc task does not have the -includes-sources option to force it to be included.
Am I missing something obvious?
Thank you in advance for any advice.

I couldn't agree with you more! :) once I resolve my current issues with null assets, I'm going to start trimming that config file down and merging the settings back into the ant build.

config.xml file. It might have just been to set the source-paths
correctly.

RE: how to compile MXML module with ANT
Posted by David Coleman <da...@hotmail.com>.
Hi Alex, thanks for your response. No worries, I wasn't expecting an instant response and less so on the weekend. :)
I just answered my own question because I absolutely hate it when I'm searching the net and I find someone asking exactly the question that I need answered, but no answer is posted! :)
I have a follow up question if you don't mind please. I'll send it in a new thread.

Hi David,
Response times are generally slower on the weekend.
From what I can tell from these snippets, the thing that you might have
messed up is the -source-path options.
If I have a file in a folder structure like:
c:\Work\projects\MyModule\src\com\foo\ISomeInterface.as
and ISomeInterface is defined as:
package com.foo
{
public interface ISomeInterface
{
}
}
the source-path option you need to define is (in the ANT mxmlc flex-task):
<source-path path-element="c:\Work\projects\MyModule\src"/>
(I might have the slashed wrong, it's been a while since I've done this on
Windows).
It looks to me like you had path elements pointing to
c:\Work\projects\MyModule\src\com and
c:\Work\projects\MyModules\src\com\foo but then the package com.foo lookup
from those path elements start looking for
c:\Work\projects\MyModule\src\com\com\foo and
c:\Work\projects\MyModule\src\com\foo\com\foo respectively, neither which
exists.
It looks like in your config.xml you finally did set source-path correctly.
Of course I could be wrong, but that's what it looks like from here.

RE: how to compile MXML module with ANT
Posted by David Coleman <da...@hotmail.com>.
I will answer my own question. Finally HOURS AND HOURS later, I found the trick.
I had to create an external config file and load it with
<load-config filename="${basedir}/config/ModuleConfig.xml"/>
the contents of ModuleConfig.xml re-define nearly every framework configuration. none of them seem non standard to me...
Basically I just defined everything to be what it SHOULD be and loaded this config file after I apply the default flex-config.xml from the sdk.
I'm still quite confused as to why this worked. AFAIK, what I did was the equivalent of 1=1.
I've opened a question on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1342158?tstart=0
but i can't answer my own question.
Maybe Alex or someone can post the answer on my behalf and include my solution so that others with my problem can find an answer in the future?
here is my ModuleConfig.xml:

RE: how to compile MXML module with ANT
Posted by David Coleman <da...@hotmail.com>.
Just to add a little information here. I have been trying to make this work all day. If i remove the "implements" from my module component, then the Interfaces inside my module are not found. I have searched on google all day and tried everything I know of. The few references that I find online are from people who have asked the question and never received an answer. This tells me that I'm doing something incredibly dumb or that there is some undocumented trick here.
Can anyone please help me?
