modular-webapp artifact does not work with env-dev maven profile

[gardellajuanpablo]

The app does not work if it is started as: mvn jetty:run -Penv-dev

It is required to update server pom.xml like that:

Generated by archetype:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
  <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <webApp>
      <baseResource implementation="org.eclipse.jetty.util.resource.ResourceCollection">
        <resourcesAsCSV>src/main/webapp,${basedir}/../target/gwt/launcherDir/</resourcesAsCSV>
      </baseResource>
    </webApp>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

It should be

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
  <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <webApp>
      <baseResource implementation="org.eclipse.jetty.util.resource.ResourceCollection">
        <resourcesAsCSV>src/main/webapp,${basedir}/../${rootArtifactId}-client/target/productores-parent-client-${project.version}/,${basedir}/../target/gwt/launcherDir/</resourcesAsCSV>
      </baseResource>
    </webApp>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Without adding client artifact, app.cache is not found.

Steps to reproduce: 1) Generate modular-webapp. 2) Import in eclipse (with GWT Eclipse plugin) 3) Starts CodeServer 4) Run jetty:run using profile env-dev

Also in order to work with super dev mode it is required to add <add-linker name="xsiframe" /> in the module.gwt.xml. I suggest to add the linker by default with the instructions indicating why this linker.

Thanks Tbroyer for this archetype.

The app.nocache.js (assuming that's what you mean by app.cache) is generated by the CodeServer in the launcherDir, which is configured in the root POM to ${project.build.directory}/gwt/launcherDir, and is correctly included in Jetty's resourcesAsCSV (as ${basedir}/../target/gwt/launcherDir/).

Did you run CodeServer using mvn gwt:codeserver? If not (e.g. using the GWT Eclipse Plugin), did you configure it the same? (i.e. to use target/gwt/launcherDir as -launcherDir).

Wrt <add-linker name="xsiframe"/>, this is the default linker since GWT 2.7; see https://github.com/tbroyer/gwt-maven-archetypes/commit/639b8d7a5864046af950b52d397402e86958b785

You are right. I didn't add -launcherDir argument in Eclipse launcher. Also it works without adding explicity the linker. Thanks a lot for your quick response.
