Can't set FLEX_HOME

[yvant]

Hello,

I'm trying to build a CustomResources ANE. So far, I installed ANT and set the variables accordingly. But when I launch ant on the command prompt, I get this:

Buildfile: D:\Dropbox\Projects\Libs\ANE-Notifications-master\ANE-CustomResources-master\build.xml clean: clean_actionscript: clean_default: clean_android: build: build_actionscript: [echo] Building actionscript library... BUILD FAILED D:\Dropbox\Projects\Libs\ANE-Notifications-master\ANE-CustomResources-master\build.xml:214: The following error occurred while executing this line: D:\Dropbox\Projects\Libs\ANE-Notifications-master\ANE-CustomResources-master\build.xml:115: FLEX_HOME must be set to use the Flex Ant Tasks

Total time: 0 seconds

How do I setup FLEX_HOME?

Thank you!

Did you update the config to point to your AIR SDK?

[yvant]

Yes, here is my build.config (i'm using FlashDevelop to code):

## ANE build config

# AIR SDK
#air.sdk = /Users/marchbold/work/sdks/air/current
air.sdk = C:\\Users\\Yvan\\AppData\\Local\\FlashDevelop\\Apps\\flexairsdk\\4.6.0+25.0.0\\

# ANDROID
#android.sdk = /Users/marchbold/work/sdks/android/android-sdk-macosx
android.sdk = C:\\Program Files (x86)\\FlashDevelop\\Tools\\android

# CHANGE THIS PACKAGE NAME IF YOU ARE USING FIREBASE
android.package = com.distriqt.extension

## 
project.name = Resources
version = 1

output.name = ${android.package}.${project.name}.ane
output.dir = ./build
output.docs = ./build/docs

actionscript.dir = ./platform/actionscript
default.dir = ./platform/default
android.dir = ./platform/android
android.resdir = customresources
android.resources = res

You may have to wrap your paths with " due to the spaces in your paths, or escape the space characters.

Hi,

I tried this:

## ANE build config
# AIR SDK
#air.sdk = /Users/marchbold/work/sdks/air/current
air.sdk = "C:\\Users\\Yvan\\AppData\\Local\\FlashDevelop\\Apps\\flexairsdk\\4.6.0+25.0.0\\"

# ANDROID
#android.sdk = /Users/marchbold/work/sdks/android/android-sdk-macosx
#android.sdk = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\FlashDevelop\\Tools\\android\\"
android.sdk = C:\\Progra~2\\FlashDevelop\\Tools\\android

# CHANGE THIS PACKAGE NAME IF YOU ARE USING FIREBASE
android.package = com.distriqt.extension

## 
project.name = Resources
version = 1

output.name = ${android.package}.${project.name}.ane
output.dir = ./build
output.docs = ./build/docs

actionscript.dir = ./platform/actionscript
default.dir = ./platform/default
android.dir = ./platform/android
android.resdir = customresources
android.resources = res

And got something like that:

  [taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource flexTasks.tasks. It could not be found.

clean:
  [taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource flexTasks.tasks. It could not be found.

clean_actionscript:
  [taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource flexTasks.tasks. It could not be found.

clean_default:
  [taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource flexTasks.tasks. It could not be found.

clean_android:

build:
  [taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource flexTasks.tasks. It could not be found.

build_actionscript:
     [echo] Building actionscript library...

Placing your path in " probably won't need you to escape \ ie. replace any \\ with \ in your air.sdk path.

[yvant]

So in the end, I added this line in build.xml <property name="FLEX_HOME" value="${air.sdk}" /> And added the absolute path to gradlew.bat, which was my next issue. Now, I have a new issue building the ANE:

Two issues there, looks as though you are running an old version of Java, highly suggest you update that to start.

Secondly that error with the build is because you've changed the path incorrectly in the gradle file and it can't find the android project.

[yvant]

I work with flashdevelop and it's recommended that we use java6. I'll try to update it to a newer version and see how it reacts. I didn't touch th gradle file though, I just pointed to it in the build file with a hard absolute path to make it work. Can I get a temp ane meanwhile? I am stuck here and didn't have time to test notifications at all...

[marchbold]

Of course!!

Just send your resources to airnativeextensions@distriqt.com and I'll build one for you!

[urthling]

Issue here was pointing to the wrong AIR SDK --
