Apache Flex 4.10 test release

[Justin Mclean]

Hi,

I've created an Apache Flex test release and just commited it to SVN (a slow 
process).

https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/flex/sdk/4.10.0/rc1/

There was one issue with the build process and TLF_HOME which I fixed.

On OSX  the build:
- Creates source, binary and doc archives.
- Check in test pass.
- Rat reports no errors.
- The binaries are correctly signed (by me) and md5 hashes are correct.
- Works in Flash Builder 4.6
- Mustella tests have not been run (yet) I'll run those over night for OSX.

Can people please try out this and report any issue with existing projects and 
the like. If no issues are found in the next few days I'll start an official 
vote.

One outstanding question. Do we just use the OSX releases for Linux or try and 
compile and sign a linux release for the Linux?

Thanks,
Justin

Justin,

I'm here and have some time. If you don't have any pressing stuff that
you need help with, I'll be adding functionality to the Mustella VM
that will allow it to test all suites against both the baseline (11.1
and 3.7) and bleeding edge (11.8 and 3.8). Alex tells me that the
latter will require some fixing of failing bitmap comparisons, but
we'll deal with that when it's all set up.

I think that if we include Linux as an supported (though experimental)
platform, we should compile and sign a release. What would we need to
make that happen?

Can we have both baseline for 11.1 and 11.8 at the same time I'm sure sure it's 
set up like that?

First step is to see how many tests fail I guess - if it only a few and only 
bitmap failure then that might be good enough for the release?

Justin

Re: Apache Flex 4.10 release

[Erik de Bruin]

I'm working on getting the VM cycle through the various version
combinations. So, first run, it'll test 11.1 and 3.7, for all suites
and the next run it'll do 11.8 and 3.8, then back to 11.1 and 3.7 etc.
etc.

Everyone: please let me 'have' the VM today so I can set this up, thanks.

Re: Apache Flex 4.10 test release

[Tom Chiverton]

I'm not going to be able to have another go at compiling it myself 
directly on Linux till Tuesday...

From memory, it hits a bug in the 2.6 AIR SDK.

But I think the project would get a lot of positive vibes from the 
(vocal :-) ) Linux crowd for shipping a Linux installer, even if it's 
marked as 'beta' or 'experimental' for .10 and then bumped to supported 
for .11. Just going by the blog comments on every previous release :-)

Couldn't agree more - but we don't have many people who can/are working on it, 
and that's despite most of the hard work being done.

You kinda have to support the tool used to build the installer, no ?

Hi,

It's the last version supported by Linux and the minimum one that the 4.9/4.10 
SDK now supports so it sort of essential. :-)

Not 100% sure it is  a current issue btw.

Note that Apache projects can get VMs as well, there's some minimal
info at http://apache.org/dev/services.html#virtual-servers and talk
to infrastructure@ for more details.

I assume it is possible for Flex to get several of those, if there's a
demonstrated need.

Re: Apache Flex 4.10 release

[Erik de Bruin]

I've added some code to the VM's Jenkins script: there is now a loop
running that alternates between a full suite (main, AIR and mobile)
run with FP 11.1 and AIR 3.7 and one that runs with FP 11.7 and AIR
3.7.

All combinations and sequences are now possible, let me know if you
want this set up differently.

The 'windows1' slave seems to be offline. We (Apache Flex) are nearing
a release, so if you could expedite a solution, that would be awesome!

OT: Randori Presentation

[Michael A. Labriola]

On Wednesday, the 17th I am doing an online presentation on Randori, which is a 
way of building web applications using ActionScript and RobotLegs-like patterns.

The compiler behind Randori was spawned from the ActionScript Falcon compiler 
and has been slowly tweaked to meet our needs. Presently I see it as a sister 
project to Apache Flex, but always had the hope that someday these things might 
find a way to fold back together.

If anyone is interested in attending:

Apache Flex 4.10 test results

[Justin Mclean]

Hi,

Using 11.1 on OSX I getting failures mostly bitmaps (87 failures), Alex when 
you redid the baselines did you check if the tests passed on OSX?

What do we do when in this case when it fairly obvious that is the tests that 
have issues and "fixing" them on one platform breaks them for another?

With the MP_* test failures I'm seeing a broken image - should this be the case?

Here's list of failures:

All baselines are cut from my Mac unless it is a Windows-only test.  My
guess is that the chart tests still have timezone sensitivities.  I ran
into some of that already since the VM is in Europe time so I'm not
surprised there are more.

In some cases, checking in the png.xml file is enough to make the test
pass.  Otherwise, I have re-written some of the tests to make them
platform independent.

No, this list of MP failures sounds like localhost is not pointing to the

Hi,

> My guess is that the chart tests still have timezone sensitivities. 
Looks that way looking at the bitmaps, date scales are different.

It could to be a daylight savings time issue (which may or may not be a real 
bug) as the days seem out by one during the southern hemisphere summer.

That's also likely to be the case as on my the machine I run the tests on I 
have other web servers etc set up.

This has come up several time on the list, basically if you copy things about 
all bets are off. Please use the scripts in the ide or ide/flashbuilder 
directory.

That being said it looks like just an issue with the flex config files 
(framework/flex-config.xml) which you could correct by hand. I've included a 
working flex config file so you can see the differences.

Or just run ide/flashbuilder/makeApacheFlexForFlashBuilder.bat/sh and that 
should correct the issue.This file(s) are in the binary zip.

Once released most people would run the installer so it in theory shouldn't be 
a major issue.

> btw not finding the "/ide/constructFlexForIDE.bat" file noted in the readme.
Good to know, looks like that they are in version control but not being 
packaged up into the zips/tars. I'll fix that.

Thanks,
Justin
