Failure to build sources

I have a problem with building:

Does anyone know why this file isn't there? I've looked through the folders and there's no such path, nor is there one on github in the sources.
I tried compiling in sdk8 and sdk11, same error in both.

is this because of not updating the submodules?

git submodule update --init

Thanks, that was missing. The compilation went on. But there's still something wrong:

The newest master needs 4G of memory to compile YaClientApp, so it's possible you may need to increase the RAM amount for the Vagrant file. We're planning to deprecate this approach in the long term since it tends to be much slower than compiling natively on your host system.

Patryk_F · November 21, 2024, 11:30pm

I have allocated 5GB of RAM to the virtual machine and still the same. VirtualBox does not allow more because my laptop only has 8GB. I need to look into the method of compiling on the host. Is this possible on Windows?

ewpatton · November 22, 2024, 12:24am

Yes. The minimal things you'll need are JDK 11. I use Temurin personally although I think OpenJDK has Windows builds (have it set JAVA_HOME accordingly). You'll also need a copy of Apache Ant available on your path. With those two you should be able to run ant to build everything except iOS (which you can only do on macOS).

Patryk_F · November 22, 2024, 12:59am

Ok, I've successfully compiled the sources on the host in java jdk11. I've installed the Cloud SDK. I'm having trouble starting the main server:

Patryk@KPF MINGW64 ~/AppInventor2/appinventor-sources/appinventor (master)
$ C:/Users/Patryk/AppData/Local/Google/CloudSDK/google-cloud-sdk/bin/java_dev_appserver.sh --port=8888 --address=0.0.0.0 appengine/build/war/

Patryk@KPF MINGW64 ~/AppInventor2/appinventor-sources/appinventor (master)
$

Nothing is happening, did I miss something?

ewpatton · November 22, 2024, 1:12am

I believe there's a .bat version for running on Windows if the .sh one isn't working.

Patryk_F · November 22, 2024, 1:38am

Yes, cmd version. I think it's worth adding it to the description. Thank you, everything works.

Patryk_F · November 22, 2024, 12:04pm

I have another problem. I don't see changes on the server after making changes to the code. I turn off the server. I change the java sources in local files, save. I clean with ant clean, then compile with ant and start the server again. Everything is as after the first compilation. I don't understand.

Oh, ok. I think I also need to update companion on my phone...

ewpatton · November 22, 2024, 2:29pm

What parts of the code are you changing? If you're looking at the ListView issue, unless you're changing the values of the annotations you're unlikely to need to recompile the web side of things. A new companion will need to be built (ant PlayApp) and sideloaded onto your Android device.

Patryk_F · November 22, 2024, 5:00pm

Thanks, I didn't know that was possible. It will be much faster to test changes
