Build fails becouse of Blockly, any idea what is going on?

[Tomislav Tomšić]

After ant clean, ant fails.
Please note, I've downloaded everything from git, two times now, here is what ant reports:

CheckBlocklyCompile:

BlocklyCompile:

OS is Ubuntu 16.04

At first I thought it may be because of the Auth Key, so I've rebuild one. Then I remembered that sometimes building BuildServer  ( ant RunLocalBuildServer) before ant resolves problems, but this time it didn't.

Next I took a look at xml, this is what is in: /appinventor-sources/appinventor/blocklyeditor/build.xml

    <target name="BlocklyCompile"
              description="For now, compiling the Blockly editor means cat-ing its javascript together with the relevant javascript in the Blockly library"
              depends="init,CheckBlocklyCompile"
                      unless="BlocklyCompile.uptodate">
        <java failonerror="true" fork="true" jar="${lib.dir}/plovr/plovr-eba786b34df9.jar">
            <arg line="build ploverConfig.js" />
        </java>
    </target>

Line number 63 is underlined.

After another ant clean and ant BlocklyTest, it returns basically the same thing:

CheckBlocklyCompile:

I am trying to build local AppInventor Instance, to test some extensions, does anyone have any idea what is the problem?

Thank you in advance

Hi Tomislav,

Based on the error I think you did not do a git submodule update --init to initialize the Blockly and Google Closure dependencies in lib.

Indeed I haven't, it solved all problems. Thank you very much Evan :).
And if I may suggest, perhaps updating documentation, this one in particular: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sAw0QObTxTWqRX7GQRCa2z9TIV2r5AKT9UKMFF1acZI/pub ; would be a good idea?

Again, thank you very much.

[Evan Patton]

Thanks for the heads up. We had updated this in the repository readme document. I've updated the Google Doc as well.

Cheers,

Evan
