RE: [flexcoders] Flex Ant Tasks - can someone cut the umbilical?

2008-05-30 Thread Rick Winscot
Tom - Flex Ant Tasks is looking for FLEX_HOME... so - if you have a CI
machine doing all your builds... how would you recommend doing concurrent
2.0.1 and 3.0 builds? Given the implementation you _will_ end up with a mess
if two builds spawn at the same time. This is a Continuous Integration
machine - it is not in the IDE.

FLEX_HOME is set in ANT, no?  So if two independent ANT scripts are running
this FLEX_HOME setting would not collide, right?

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Ant Tasks - can someone cut the umbilical?

2008-05-30 Thread Gordon Smith
Yes, setting FLEX_HOME in Ant is the best approach. For example, if you
look at the opensource code for the SDK, you'll see that our top-level
Ant script declares

 

property name=FLEX_HOME location=${basedir}/

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Ant Tasks - can someone cut the umbilical?

2008-05-30 Thread Rick Winscot
Yes. which is the problem we stumbled upon. So - one of the changes I made
to Flex Ant Tasks was to be able to set this value within the task. We can
now define any environment variable (i.e. FLEX2_HOME, FLEX3_HOME), point it
at the appropriate sdk and build without issues. Given some of the earlier
threads about large scale development and continuous integration. it
occurred to me that this would be a great thing to contribute - but without
some official permission from the peeps at Adobe. I'll have to just hold
onto it.

Huh? Why does it need to get set within the task? If an Ant script does

 

project ...

property name=FLEX_HOME .../

target ...

comp ...

/target

/project

 

isn't compc going to run with FLEX_HOME set by the property tag? Isn't
each spawned build running in its own process with its own FLEX_HOME
property?
