Unable to find class error when building.

[Todd Freese]

I am getting "Unable to find class" errors when doing a jake release or jake deploy.

All of the classes it can not find are @import'ed in my AppController.j.

Do I need to import them somewhere else? They are just plain sub-classes referenced in a xib. They are not part of a framework or anything and live alongside all my code.

Hi Todd,

Can you please provide more info and if possible the output when you get the error. If you get a ”Unable to find class” error it might not been from the compiler as I think it does not use those words.

You also say that they are referenced in a xib and that gives me the feeling that you are loading a cib file? The question then is why are you loading a cib file when doing ’jake release’ or ’jake deploy’?

Please give us more information on when and how you are receiving this error.

Hi Todd,

You get this error when you do ’press’ in ’jake deploy'. ’press' will try to figure out what classes you are using and remove those that is not needed. To do that it needs to load the cib files to figure out what classes are referenced from them. It looks like when it is loading the cib files it can’t find your classes.

I have never seen this problem before and I’m not very familiar with the ’press’ tool.

It might be that your jake file is not up to date? One thing that you could try is to create a new project with ’capp gen’ and add one of your cib files along with your referenced files. Maybe your Login.cib might be a good candidate? Then test if you can do ’jake deploy’ on the new project.

On a sidenote it should be interesting to know if and how you solved your problem with 'Program too complex’ that you had some week ago?

I solved last weeks Program too complex problem by rolling back to an old version of Capp which works fine. I'll try to track this down when I get some free time. 

I'll try a new app for my class not found issue.
