Disclaimer: I have no idea what I am doing here.
I was given a project with a large .tproject file (7956 lines). This is because it is blacklisting numerous files that shouldn't build. It's mostly node_modules. Each file in a module is blacklisted.
Making sure I have installed the node packages, I have followed these steps:
- Remove blacklist node from .tproject
- Open Tizen Sudio (2.3) on Windows 10
- File > Open Projects from File System
- Show other specialized import wizards
- Tizen > Tizen Project
- Browse root directory location
- Profile > tv
- Finish (project is created but modal hasn't closed)
I get this message:
Resource '/project' already exists
and then:
Errors occurred during the build.
Errors running builder 'Tizen Web Builder' on project 'DStv Now'.
java.lang.NullPointerException
What I want to know:
- To get the NullPointerException, my project is definitely missing something in order to get setup. Any ideas what could be missing?
- How do I import the project as a Tizen TV application?
- How is the .tproject file created?
- Is it a suitable file to add to .gitignore? It looks auto generated.
- If not, is there a way to use regex to blacklist files instead of listing them one by one?
What I know about .tproject is, It holds Project template Information. Like : tv-samsung-3.0, wearable-2.3.2. This will change only when the developer changes the template for some reason (Suppose update app for new tizen version).
About Importing Tizen TV Project->
Tizen-Studio > File > Import > Tizen > Tizen Project > Root Directory > Select Specific Project Folder
If every-thing's okay till now you would see a project on Project list. Set the Profile and Version, then finish. The project should be on your Tizen-Studio Project Explorer. Project > Clean > Build.
About .gitignore what I can suggest is to add only the files that get removed at Clean Project command.
