Punya built from sources error

Open Source Development
1

Hi guys, I'm new to appinventor and I'm trying to develop some components using Punya built from sources. I followed the guide and successfully setup the vagrant VM.
The problem is that I added my component to the sources and the building process was ok, now I have just deleted one method from the Java class of my component and I'm not able to build successfully again. I'm getting the following error:

BUILD FAILED
/vagrant/appinventor/build.xml:21: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/vagrant/appinventor/buildserver/build.xml:195: Java returned: 1

What's wrong with it? Nothing has changed significantly since my last building process.
In addition to this I sometimes get the following error and I have to comment the relative lines each time:

Thanks a lot in advance for your help

Is this a fresh copy?

Are you trying to compile only the components or the complete sources?

Hi, this is the output of the complete sources' compiling phase

The issue here is likely that you're not using the correct version of Java. You need Java 8

Ok, but why did I get the first build succesfully completed? The first was ok and then I started getting errors

Look at the OdeMessages.java file and entry for these two strings nameParams(), titleParams() you can find other entries there so you can figure out how to add new entries for these two.

BTW one question from my side have you edited source code before compilation?

@preetvadaliya yes, I first added a new Java class to the sources and I got "BUILD SUCCESSFUL". Then, when I simply removed some methods I started getting "BUILD FAILED"

Do this it will solve your problem.

This may help you to understand ant task summary.

@dora_paz I'm using Java 8 but still getting BUILD FAILED. Don't know what is wrong

When trying to build Punya from sources I get the following error:

I added some libraries to components/build.xml file
<copy toFile="${public.deps.dir}/slf4j-android-1.7.30.jar" file="${lib.dir}/slf4j-android/slf4j-android-1.7.30.jar" />
and a Java class to source codes but the first time I was able to compile successfully, after that I only get BUILD ERROR. Please help

Why are you using Punya? As far as I know it is very outdated and not maintained. Instead you could build from regular App Inventor sources, depending on what you want to do.

Punya is not that old. It is still been worked on.

Ok, I stand corrected. Apparently it has been resurrected again.
However, that does not answer the question why Altus is trying to compile its sources, instead of developing an app on top of it, and why he is asking questions in our forum instead of contacting the Punya people.

If you're adding new libraries, make sure to remove any old versions as this error indicates there are two or more copies of the given class in the dependencies list. If you have done this after previously running ant, you will need to ant clean to remove old versions of the dependencies from the build tree.

I'm responsible for the long term maintenance of Punya, so either way it ends up in my inbox.

I found the entries but I don't know what to do to avoid this problem...

The AutogeneratedOdeMessages class is produced as part of the compilation of the AndroidRuntime target. The annotation processor that produces this file should be aggregating all of the methods together so that no duplicates originate. Somehow, the changes you've applied to Punya seem to be breaking this.
