Most of the time I create a project I miss a lot of necessary files such as the bootstrap and Json files.
I have all the dependencies (Ruby, JDK, Apache Ant) and Sencha CMD 5.1 (6 gives me alot of problems), I have also set my custom Cmd Base Path to cmd/5.1.3.61
It's a lot like a hit in miss, i'll create and save a lot of projects in different places hoping that 1 will provide me with all the necessary files needed to code properly (had to create over 10 projects for me to get a project folder with all the files in, and save them all in different directories).
Anyone know the cause of this or how to fix it so that Sencha Architect will give me all the necessary files with each project I create?
I've tried Saving As the project folder to a different location, using sencha cmd web start, saving the entire project and (it's not letting me build the project as it is greyed out)
Also tried reinstalling sencha architect, cmd, and all its dependencies; problem still occuring.
Fixed by turning on build tools (which should be enabled since I have all the dependencies) that then allowed me to build the project and get all the required files

Problem started suddenly and seems to be not related to any change that happened in code around its first occurance.
We have automated CI workflow that prepares RC.
At first every second build worked. Now I had to rebuild RC 7 times to get app that is not crashing.
After investigating it is clear that there are no config values in resources, ergo plugin is not generating values from json config file. Basically rebuilding same code many times makes it work, at some point.
We had recently changed dependency injection in app from dagger components to hilt, it might be the reason of some kind of race or shared resources during build time.
It is also problematic to work around. I've prepared resource files with all values in order to manually add them in build process instead of generating with plugin. Now, because we also use crashlytics, I cannot remove google services plugin as crashlytics is checking for google services tasks in gradle. I cannot remove unused json file as plugin will crash because of lack of config file. Plugin also (based on docs https://developers.google.com/android/guides/google-services-plugin) adds some dependencies to main module, but I wasn't able to find anything in :app:dependencies so maybe docs are outdated.
I am not able to provide any project for reproduction as it only happens in commercial project. I understand it makes the problem hard to resolve in such case but maybe other people has it also.
AGP: 7.2.0-beta02
Google Services plugin: 4.3.10
Hilt: 2.41
EDIT:
I've resolved symptoms by creating gradle module for each build type we have, and each module contains only res/values.xml which I've copied from app/build/generated/res/google-services/*. This way required keys are always available in resources, as we do not often (hardly ever) change json file with config. I am still trying to investigate builds with --scan option but I cannot reproduce it with scan, it only happens without it.
Web Developers!
How do you go about organizing your Github projects for your front-end and back-end?
For example, I have a python script that generates a JSON file that the front end JavaScript consumes to generate data on the pages.
Would you create one repository with two directories labeled front-end and back-end?
Or would you make two different repositories?
I'm interested in what developers do in the wild. Because up until now I found myself having a complete clone of my website in a directory on my desktop PC, and just pushing individual files via SFTP from there.
I'm getting to the point where I have enough *.old files that I want to implement version control so I can view much older states of code with Metadata like date and user that edited it.
The answer is yes. Make two different github projects.
Just Like Michael W has stated, "[...] this is highly opinionated". What I find to be the most common approach is to implement a single github project when still in development and especially when you're developing on your own. This is useful because you don't have to switch up between repositories and/or branches, which saves time.
Another common approach is to split them up. However this approach is only possible when both projects can run independent from one and other. In your case it's important to split the project logically. If the python project only generates JSON files and places them on a server location, then I would place that into it's own github project, because the main purpose is to generate files, so the python application can run on a server seperate from the frontend. If the webapp only consumes the JSON files through maybe a rest call or through a connection to a FTP, then also that can be placed within it's own project.
I have started a project to move some framework libraries targeting Dotnet 4.6.1 to DotnetStandard. I am using VS2017. I started with a relatively simple library which did not have any nuget references and only couple of classes. The approach I took was,
Create a new DotnetStandard 2.0 library project. Just to make sure I have a clean slate instead of manipulating the csproj file of the existing project.
Copy the code files from the old to the new project
Make any code changes required to make the new project build
This worked pretty smoothly. Now, I started with a second library that referenced the first one. I followed the same steps as mentioned above. At Step 3, however, I am hitting roadblock. I am unable to get the namespaces exposed by the first library in the second library, whatever I do. I have tried these,
Referenced the First project from the second project as Project Reference
Created a nuget package for the first project, hosted it in a local folder and installed the package in second project.
Both ways, I am unable to get the namespaces and classes from the first project.
What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE
I tried creating a dummy solution and tried creating two Dotnetstandard projects there. Project referencing worked fine there. So, to experiment, in my actual solution, I deleted the second project and created again. That somehow resolved my issue and I am able to successfully add nuget as well as project references now. Not sure what the problem was earlier.
I have a project that uses both PHP and Python, and I would like to use JetBrains IDEs (in this case PhpStorm and PyCharm) to work with both languages.
However when I open the project using both IDEs concurrently I get a pop up whenever I switch from one to the other, as the newly focused IDE detects metadata that has been written to the project directory by the other IDE. I imagine this would be a problem between other combinations of JetBrains IDEs as well (hence the use of the generic jetbrains tag).
I have a work around (I will post in an answer for others to view), but it is somewhat awkward to set up, and I may well be working with other projects that use the same combination of languages.
Is there an easier solution?
My current workaround:
Create a new directory separate to the main project directory - using the language specific IDE for the second-most used language in the project, open the new directory as a project, and using the options in Settings > Project > Project Structure, add the main project directory as a separate content root.
Whenever needing to work on the parts of the project written in the secondary language, you can now open the new directory instead; this keeps metadata for both IDEs separate.
A workaround which allows for two IDE's to share the same directory without IDE settings conflicts.
JetBrains software allows you to store project settings as either a file based project (*.iml), or a directory based project (.idea).
To choose file or directory based projects, change the file storage type when opening a project.
Note: Directory based projects are preferred to file based projects, as they allow for versioning of shared settings. Support for file based projects is deprecated and may be removed.
This is a very basic question, but I have not been able to find the answer anywhere.
I just got Cocos 2Dx 3.3, made a new project and built the HelloWorld scene that was generated.
It generated projects for all platforms, but I am currently compiling and running the Mac project using XCode.
I can easily add new files using XCode, but of course it only adds it to my XCode Project. I would have expected a way to automatically modify all projects at once to add files or change compiler settings. I saw that there is a CMake file, probably used for command line compilation, but I cannot find a way to use that to regenerate the projects for all platforms.
Is it possible to automatically add a file to all platforms? Maybe it is possible to modify the template directory os Cocos and use the cocos new command line to recreate the project from scratch?
Or is it better to do all that manually?
Such an automation would imply parsing of a project file, finding list of relevant files and then changing all the dozen of project files. Which is hell of the work.
Even if it was implemented, how would this implementation decide which project file is a main one? (to get filelist from) And if your projects all have different lists of files? This would need merging etc. etc.
For now cocos new only copies files from one place to another. Frankly, Cocos2d-x have much more serious problems to solve, so I don't think this feature will ever be implemented.
However, you could customize project files/folders to your needs to make process of adding files more or less convenient and sometimes even automatic. Here are some clues:
It is easy to change Android and Linux Makefiles so they will pick up all the source files from a specified folder. Just use wildcards. Resource files are picked up by default.
For Visual Studio solutions (Win32, Win8, WinPhone) you could enable "Show all files" to see all files that either added or not. Unfortunately you can only see files down in the folder tree relative to project folder. To see Classes folder, make a symlink (link /j) of a Classes folder near .vcxproj file. You'd better don't copy/move project folder after it. And don't forget to add this linked folder to ignore list of your versioning system, or you will end up with duplicated files. Resource files are picked up by default for Windows projects.
I am not aware of any solution for XCode project, so you basically stuck with manual source file addition. Which is most annoying among all platforms. However it can pick up resource folders with all files.
Anyway, I would be glad if someone would proof me wrong and would write some kind of script to solve this problem (and also to change project name, company id, automatic versioning, etc.). I believe it could be done more or less reliably with, let's say Python and some regex magic. At least until project file formats will change.
