got fcsh working… I had to modify the fcsh script in $FLEX_HOME/bin
I had to pin it to jdk 7 and add
"-Djava.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort=true"
The last few lines of the file look like:
export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7`
export DEBUG="true"
java $VMARGS $D32 $SETUP_SH_VMARGS "-Dapplication.home=$FLEX_HOME"
"-Djava.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort=true" -jar "$FLEX_HOME/lib/fcsh.jar"
Here's my gulpfile.js at the root of my project…
var gulp = require('gulp');
var fcsh = require('gulp-fcsh');
var FLEX_HOME = process.env.FLEX_HOME;
console.log('FLEX_HOME = ' + FLEX_HOME)
var compileOptions = '';
gulp.task('fcsh', function () {
gulp.src('src/GreenMaps.mxml')
.pipe(fcsh({
compileOptions: compileOptions
}))
});
gulp.task('watch', function () {
var watcher = gulp.watch(['./**/*.mxml', './**/*.as', './**/*.js',
'./**/*.xml'], ['fcsh']);
watcher.on('change', function(event) {
console.log('File ' + event.path + ' was ' + event.type);
});
});
Here's my .vscode/tasks.json
{
// See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
// for the documentation about the tasks.json format
"version": "0.1.0",
"tasks": [
{
"taskName": "fcsh",
"command": "gulp",
"isBuildCommand": true,
"isShellCommand": true,
"isBackground": true,
"args": ["fcsh","watch"],
"showOutput": "always"
}
]
}
My dev dependencies for my npm package.json looks like:
"devDependencies": {
"gulp": "^3.9.1",
"gulp-fcsh": "0.0.6"
}
You can run the build by pressing ctrl + shift + B (cmd + shift + B on mac).
