Plugin is generating empty js files on windows.

[sascha-sphw]

Hey there,

I got the following error. FileNotFoundException: ...AppData\Local\Temp\sbt_29768115\typescript\generatedCompiler.js

I'm using it with play addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.3.8")

What do i miss?

Thanks, Sascha

[sascha-sphw]

OK. I have just recognized that this error will only appear if i start the app with the following cmd.

activator "~run 9050"

So the ~ is the problem. If I remove the ~ no error will appear, but I got compiled a ts file like

class Main { constructor() { console.log("Das ist das Haus vom Nikolaus!"); } } new Main(); into an empty javascript file.

Hi @Linowitch,

I'm also using this typescript plugin in a play application, it seems to be working for me, perhaps you can try the following and compare outputs:

Thanks for your help.

My output is almost the same but the js file stays empty.

Is there somewhere a debug log or something else, because I also get no error or warning.

[fernandezpablo85]

I just set:

logLevel := Level.Debug

On sbt but there's no debug output for the script so no luck there :( I'll create an issue to put that in the todo list.

Did you double check your assets directories and file extensions? You may also wanna check include/exclude filters.

[sascha-sphw]

I double checked everything. I build a minimal example. https://github.com/Linowitch/play-typescript

Can't find the error.

The funny part is, that if I do an error in the typescript file I got the information from play. But if I remove the error, nothing gets compiled.

@BrandonArp do you have an idea why I got only empty js files build?

[fernandezpablo85]

Hey, I'm cloning it right now, will let you know if I found something.

Working fine unmodified on my machine:

[sascha-sphw]

Thanks for testing.

This is weird. I have also tried another machine but same issue.

Could it be that this is a windows issue?

Windows 7 64Bit Java 8 but also tested with 7

[legacycode]

hi, i had a lot of problems running play on windows that costs me a lot of time. i think there are problems with long file pathes. now i am using an actual ubuntu installation (in virtualbox) and all my problems are gone. maybe you could give it a try and use a linux based system. best regards

btw: this plugin is awesome :)

[fernandezpablo85]

You could try virtual box, that would give you a linux installation for testing in no time.

I don't mind using a Linux system, but since all this stuff is running in the jvm I think this should be working in windows as well.

Thanks for your help!

[legacycode]

i installed node and typescript on windows, created a new play scala project and added a dummy file to it. compiling and running works, but the generated .js files in public folder are zero sized :( on linux it works without any problems. i uploaded my source project to https://github.com/legacycode/PlayFramework-Typescript

you are right. it is working in a jvm and normally it should work on windows as well. in the past i had a lot of problems with external scripts that are triggered, with the .bat file from activator, e.g. i am developing java applications since about 10 years and ever had little problems on windows. that is the reason why most java developer are using a mac or linux based systems.

[fernandezpablo85]

You may wanna try using node.js as an engine instead of Trirme (see the readme for more details)

I've encountered the same problem on Mac OSX, so this is not a Windows issue. Any update on this?

[fernandezpablo85]

have you tried using nodejs as an sbt-js-engine?

[BrandonArp]

Whoa, that's concerning. Was the input file valid? What options were you using? Can you create a project the reproduces the problem? My main development machine is OSX and I haven't seen this problem before. I would really like to get it fixed for you. On Mar 9, 2015 9:57 AM, "astorath" notifications@github.com wrote:

I'm using node.js

lazy val root = (project in file(".")).enablePlugins(PlayJava, SbtWeb).settings(
  JsEngineKeys.engineType := JsEngineKeys.EngineType.Node
)

[fernandezpablo85]

I also happen to run this plugin on OSX with no problems, if you have a singled out scenario I'd be happy to give it a try.

Note: you don't need to include SbtWeb as a plugin, PlayJava (or PlayScala for that matter) does that for you.

I can't reproduce the problem with 100% rate - it happens on ~run command when *.ts are recompiling. Several page refreshes removes the problem until next time.

[fernandezpablo85]

Why are you running "~run" ? "run" (no tilde) should be enough. You prepend the tilde when you want a task to re-run every time an sbt source changes. Play handles these automatically so there's no need to execute "~run". Ever. That may be the underlying problem.

@astorath, @Linowitch A lot has changed with the latest release (0.1.5), would you mind running on a Windows box again? Please let me know if the problem has been fixed or still persists. Thanks!

[siseon-kim]

Hi! This issue still not fixed latest release (0.1.5) and would you please check the code below? I cloned a latest source and change the code like this.. then problem fixed.

src/main/resources/typescriptc.js

 var sourceFiles = program.getSourceFiles();
        logger.debug("got some source files");
        sourceFiles.forEach(function (sourceFile) {
            // \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
            //  window path and linux path not same!!!!!
            // \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
            var comparedFileName = sourceFile.fileName.replace(/\\/g, "/");
            var comparedInputFiles = [];
            for (var i in inputFiles) {
                comparedInputFiles.push(inputFiles[i].replace(/\\/g, "/"));
            }
            var index = comparedInputFiles.indexOf(comparedFileName);
            if (index === -1) {
                logger.debug("did not find source file " + sourceFile.fileName + " in list compile list, assuming library or dependency and skipping output");
                return;
            }
            logger.debug("examining " + sourceFile.fileName);
            logger.debug("looking for deps");
            var depFiles = sourceFile.referencedFiles;
            var file = sourceFile.fileName;
            var deps = [sourceFile.fileName];
            if (depFiles !== undefined) {
                logger.debug("got some deps: " + depFiles);
                depFiles.forEach(function (dep) {
                    logger.debug("found referenced file " + dep.fileName);
                    deps.push(dep.fileName);
                });
            }
            var result = {source: file, result: {filesRead: deps, filesWritten: [outputFiles[index]]}};
            output.results.push(result);
        });
        logger.debug("output=" + JSON.stringify(output));
        return output;

Thanks. :-)

[paul-sachs]

+1 this to be fixed. It does not only affect ~run but also dist. I run "dist" and all the generated js files are size 0.
