Cannot get a second, OTP app to start with my boss application

[jim rosenblum]

I have a chicagoboss application that makes use of a second OTP application. I cannot get the second application to start without manual intervention. My directory structure is as follows:

project

    |-apps

           |-boss_app

           |-seond_otp_app

In my boss_app directory I have a boss.config that includes a stanza for this second OTP app, as in:

{second_otp_app, [ {path, "../second_otp_app"} ]},

I also have this second_otp_app in my boss_app.app.src file: {applications, [..., second_otp_app,..]} section.

With this in place, and not working, I tried additionally adding an explicit start in my priv/init/boss_app_01_news files. This also fails silently.

When I try to start it by hand from the erlang shell produced by starting my boss_app, I get a {error,{"no such file or directory","ehc_notifier.app"}} error.

When I manually add the path to the second app's ebin directory, I can start it by hand.

Any ideas?

on how to add application u can read in Admin application install. on git , 

and if u need to auto init that app, try making separate init. file for your app in priv/init

for example, this is my file for qdate jam_qdate_init.erl

-module(qdate_init).

-export([init/0, stop/1]).

init() ->  %U can add Pid etc here if req., case err etc.

qdate:start(),

{ok, [undefined]}.

stop(QdateId) -> %QdateId is a dummy var to fit pattern only

qdate:stop(). 

hope this would help

Hi Jim,

{second_otp_app, [ {path, "../second_otp_app"} ]} won't do anything.
The "path" var is a CB-specific config value that doesn't apply to
non-CB apps.

What you can do instead is put your other app into the deps/ directory
of your project. You could also use a symlink. Then call
application:start from your init script.

thank you, I have put it in the deps directory as you suggested.

Hello, Evan!

I added dependency for my custom application to rebar.config

and my custom app put to my_app_CB/deps/my_custom_app.

Please specify for me, how can I start my custom application (application:start(my_costom_app)) when start CB

Thank you!

Holy Moly. I let this one through replying so late. My apologies.

You can add it to an init script in priv/init

Two months late - pretty unacceptable, my bad.
