README.md: boot implicit target directory creation no longer exists, i.e., no files to copy #60

Closed gamecubate closed 8 years ago

gamecubate commented 8 years ago

Per README.md, Since Tenzing comes without a backend you can easily deploy your app to Amazon S3 or even host it in your Dropbox. To do that just copy the files in target/ to your desired location.

Unfortunately, boot no longer does implicit target directory creation, which means that these instructions fail.

Good catch! :) a PR updating those instructions would be welcome :+1: On Sun, 1 May 2016 at 15:34, Alexandre Rousseau notifications@github.com wrote:

Would love to update them but I am stuck trying to get boot to save compilation output to a js file. Something not clear on their side. If you leave this open, I will submit a PR once I've got the problem solved and further understanding of some key concepts.

The implicit target task has been deprecated but not removed yet. At the moment boot only skips the implicit call if BOOT_EMIT_TARGET=no has been set in boot.properties, either in the project root or in ~/.boot/boot.properties. See the boot FAQ for details.

In any case - #63 adds an explicit call to target and should fix this issue.

P.S. @gamecubate. If you haven't seen it yet - check out Mimmo Cosenza's excellent tutorial. It uses boot throughout and covers a lot of key concepts.

Oh but I hadn't seen that. Started reading. Perfect. Thanks for the nudge. :)

@j1mr10rd4n a link to Mimmo's tutorial, especially the boot related bits might be a good addition to the readme. What do you think?

j1mr10rd4n commented 8 years ago

@martinklepsch Sounds good to me, it's a great tutorial. What about here as an entry point?
