Super Dev Mode : Cannot get module to compile with -workDir

[Danny Kirchmeier]

I'm trying out the new Super Dev Mode from the trunk. While I can get the codeserver to compile the module normally, it hangs when I specify -workDir.

Am I doing something wrong, or do I need to file a bug report? 

Ant Target:

<target name="codeserver" depends="javac" description="Run development mode">

  <java failonerror="true" fork="true" classname="com.google.gwt.dev.codeserver.CodeServer">

    <classpath>

      <pathelement location="src"/>

      <path refid="project.class.path"/>

      <path refid="codeserver.class.path"/>

    </classpath>

    <jvmarg value="-Xmx256M"/>

    <arg value="-workDir"/>

    <arg value="myWorkDir"/>

    <arg value="my.test.FooBar"/>

  </java>

</target>

Output:

deleting: ~/foo/myWorkDir/my.test.FooBar/compile-1

workDir: ~/foo/myWorkDir

binding: user.agent=safari

binding: compiler.useSourceMaps=true

binding: locale=en

When it hangs, could you try running "jstack" on the process to get a thread dump?

Well, now it appears to be working. I haven't updated the code with a new version, so I don't know what happened.

If it happens again, I'll post the thread dump and file a bug report.

I was seeing the same issue even without setting a workDir. I upped the memory provided to the JVM (<jvmarg value="-Xmx512M"/>) and it completed the compile.
