Is this build script a valid build script for openlazlo 4.9 compilation

Question

Is this a valid ant build script for Open laszlo 4.9. I am not able to build that with this file.

<project name="test" default="TestClient" basedir=".">
    <property name="src"   value="${basedir}/src"/>

I have already seen this stackoverflow post.

How to build an OpenLaszlo DHTML application using Apache Ant and i'll be preparing a script like this

But, I just want to confirm that is there any problem with the earlier build script.

Answer 1

In line 28, you have to remove the extra quotes around the runtime argument. Instead of

<arg value='"--runtime=swf10"'/>

it should be

<arg value="--runtime=swf10"/>

Then, the lzc command has an option -o or --output, where you can define the output file. By default the lzc commmand generates two SWF files, e.g.

lzc TestClient.lzx  --runtime=swf10

generates TestClient.lzx.swf10.swf and TestClient.swf10.swf. With the -o option, you can directly specify the filename:

lzc --runtime=swf10 -o TestClient.swf TestClient.lzx 
Compiling: TestClient.lzx to TestClient.swf

Here's the modified section of the build.xml:

<property name="TestClient.lzx" value="${basedir}/src/TestClient.lzx"/>
<property name="TestClient.swf" value="TestClient.swf"/>
<property name="modules" value="${basedir}/src/modules"/>

<target name="TestClient" description="compile TestClient.lzx">
    <echo message="${lzc}"/>
    <exec executable="${lzc}" failonerror="true">
        <arg value="${TestClient.lzx}"/>
        <arg value="--runtime=swf10"/>
        <arg value="-o" />
        <arg value="${TestClient.swf}" />
    </exec>
    <move file="src/${TestClient.swf}" todir="${webappDir}"/>
</target>

Don't add a path to the ${TestClient.swf} property, or the lzc command will create the folder structure prepended to the filename. And instead of deleting the generated SWF file after copying, I just move it. Here is the Ant output:

raju@T500:~/flex4.6/build-test$ ant
Buildfile: /home/raju/flex4.6/build-test/build.xml

TestClient:
     [echo] /home/raju/src/svn/openlaszlo/trunk/WEB-INF/lps/server/bin/lzc
     [exec] Compiling: /home/raju/flex4.6/build-test/src/TestClient.lzx to TestClient.swf
     [move] Moving 1 file to /home/raju/flex4.6/webapp

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

And the resulting directory structure.

├── build-test/
│   ├── build.xml
│   └── src
│       └── TestClient.lzx
└── webapp/
    └── TestClient.swf
