@Velo - Coming a little late to the thread, but a couple things to consider when running the FP on Linux, especially in the context of CI. The FP needs a windowing environment, typically via a combination of X and Xvnc/xvfb, to run successfully on what would be traditionally considered a headless Linux install. As you implement this feature, you may find that users running on headless installs are receiving gtk errors even with X installed. It's important to note that running the FP on Linux has a laundry list of dependencies as well as a restricted set of supported distros for the 32-bit SA player. These are the links I typically refere people to when they have install issues:
FP 10 Linux Dependency List - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/153/tn_15380.html Supported OS List - http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/systemreqs/ You may want to provide a disclaimer re: the dependencies and distros that will work with the stand-alone FP debugger on Linux to help people with setup. Although they won't have to d/l the executable, their env will still have to be primed. I've found the most common distros on the Ant side folks have been using are Ubuntu Server Edition and variants of Red Hat (i.e. - RHEL, CentOS, etc.). Running tests on desktop editions will probably go much more smoothly than in practice for the folks using server editions. HTH and good luck with the feature work. -Brian On Oct 7, 10:27 pm, Marvin Froeder <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Folks, > > I'm trying to make flexmojos easier to run unit test, by making it capable > of using flashplayer from maven repo.
