How to update kevlib.json?

[skorsky]

When I finished the first HelloWorld step and then add the dictionary attribute, this is not found due to missing declaration in kevlib.json.

/**
 * Dictionary attribute named "greetMessage"
 */
dic_greetMessage: null,

I managed to update kevlib.json by deleting it and regenerating everything with 'yo kevoree'.

Is this the recommended way?

No, as stated in the tutorial readme, the kevlib.json file is generated by the Grunt task kevoree_genmodel on each install and run processes.

├── kevlib.json        # Your component Kevoree model (generated by the grunt task grunt-kevoree-genmodel)

The command

yo kevoree

is for project generation purposes only. You just have to do it once.
Then the simple fact of running your project with grunt kevoree triggers the task that generates your kevlib.json so you don't have to bother generate it manually.

But you can, if you want, by invoking:

grunt kevoree_genmodel

Thanks for explanation. In my workspace, kevlib.json was not updated as described with 'grunt kevoree'. Don't know the reason.

When you run grunt kevoree there is no triggering of the task kevoree_genmodel that appears in the logs as something like:

╰─➤  grunt kevoree

This is not a log from the HelloWorld project, it is from the kevoree-node-javascript project, but the process is the same in the end :)
