Issues runnng grunt -d and grunt -f

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for the hint to this issue. It is strange and only occuring in the extension environment, where we can reproduce it. It apparently is a bug in our css compression tool, of which there is an upgraded version. The newer version works correctly. Unfortunately, they have deprecated the method where this occured, so we have to rewrite our building tool. I will update this, and try to provide it in the next version of SDK.

In the meantime, you could switch off compression of css files, by setting

compressCSS: false,

in line 93 of src/Gruntfile.js. This should avoid the hanging of your build process.

Regards,

Leonhard.

Hi Leonard,

thanks, by setting

compressCSS: false,

the CSS is written correctly.

However the process (grunt -d) does still not complete and hangs on "Loading bundles/dtcsuiext-all..."

As mentioned the out-debug / out-release folders are generated.

What else is supposed to happen after "Loading bundles..."?

Hi Alexander,

ok, in that case I need more information (as we cannot reproduce):

- On which platform do you run your project?

- Did you change anything as compared to the originally generated project?

- Did the originally generated project build without problems? If you do not want to build back, please create another one and run grunt.

In case you added already sth to the project: I assume that your additional files make the require bundle building suck. Maybe a cyclic dependency, I do not know.

Regards,

Leonhard.

We found, that the CSS compression calling code in "lib/src/csui/lib/css-builder.js" is compatible with the NPM module "csso" 1.3.x and 2.x, but not with 1.x versions in between.

As a workaround, you could either request csso 1.3.x in your package json, or turn it off by compressCSS: false in your Gruntfile.

We will fix the compatibility in the next SDK update.

The Grunt task "languagepack" goes over all your localization modules in /nls/root/ directories and writes a single file with their content as a template for translators. It does not crawl the file system; it traverses your code module dependfency tree and picks the "i18n!..." module references.

You can see the expected console output when compiling the Greetings module, for example:

Running "languagepack:all" (languagepack) taskGetting bundle indexes...Bundle bundles/greet-all exposes 18 modules.Loading bundles/greet-all...Bundle bundles/greet-all depends on 61 modules.Bundle bundles/greet-all contains 61 modules.Bundle bundles/greet-all contains 6 localization modules.

Hi Leonard,

thank you for the hint. I removed the example "hello" widget from the src folder.

This resolved the compilation error and all the subsequent tasks (clean.js to copy.js) have completed without errors.

However than once again i got this issue (running grunt -d --> "Loading bundles.... " hangs) when defining a custom css:

define(['csui/controls/table/cells/cell/cell.view',
    'csui/controls/table/cells/cell.registry',
    'csui/controls/table/table.columns',
   'css!dtcsuiext/table.cells/description/impl/description'

The css is located in:

dtcsuiext\src\table.cells\description\impl\description.css

.binf-widgets .csui-table-cell-description {
text-align: center;
min-width: 5rem;
max-width: 5rem;
}

In the src/gruntfile.js compression has been disabled:

compressCSS: false,

Do I need to update NPM module "csso" to get my custom CSS to work or is there anything else (than to define(*.css) and placing the actual css) missing to get the CSS to work?

Regards

Alexander

Hi Alexander,

I still do not know from your answer if a newly generated and untampered component runs without issues. Can you check this please, i.e. create another extension with any name (ideally you accept the defaults greetings etc.) and run grunt after creation.

And can you also please tell us the nodejs version which you are using. You get this be calling 'node --version' in your command prompt.

Thanks and Regards,

Leonhard.

Hi Alexander,

Yes, both a newly generated project as well as another project with several customizations (in case no custom CSS is specified) run without issues.

And can you also please tell us the nodejs version which you are using. You get this be calling 'node --version' in your command prompt.

I am running nodejs 6.9.2

Thanks and Regards,

Leonhard.

Hi Alexander,

ok thanks.

Could you please deinstall your nodejs and install nodejs v4.x. We observed issues with newer versions. See article node.js version in this forum.

Then try to build again. You probably still have the error on failing css compression, but your build process should complete ...

Regards,

Leonhard.

Using nodejs 4.7.3 the project compiles without errors. Thanks!

Ok, thank you for pointing out the css compression issue.

Regards,

Leonhard.

I had the same issue as the Original Poster. When I ran YO to set up a new project, the npm install had 1) an issue where one of the dependencies needed Python and it wasn installed, and 2) the Grunt build hung, even after I changed the compressCSS to false.

So I uninstalled NodeJS 6.9.5 and installed 4.7.3, but now the build scripts are broken.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Grunt as well, but it doesnt seem to help. I used npm to uninstall and then reinstall grunt-cli, however the npm install is now broken:

NodeJS is 4.7.3

Grunt is 1.0.1, grunt-cli is 1.2.0 when checked from the project folder and YO is 1.8.5

The first error is one I dont recall from before I un/reinstalled Node:

I'm all done. Running npm install for you to install the required dependencies.
If this fails, try running the command yourself.

npm WARN peerDependencies The peer dependency grunt@~0.4.0 included from grunt-c
ontrib-rename will no
npm WARN peerDependencies longer be automatically installed to fulfill the peerD
ependency
npm WARN peerDependencies in npm 3+. Your application will need to depend on it
explicitly.

The following error I saw the first time and dont think it's major because I dont have Python installed:

But here we get to the Grunt dependency errors that are new since I went with the older version of Node:

To take grunt-contrib-rename as an example in the <project>\node_modules folder there is indeed a 0.0.3 version installed.

The package.json file generated by YO contains the following, but I'm not sure where it originally comes from:

"grunt-contrib-clean": "1.0.0",
"grunt-contrib-compress": "^1.3.0",
"grunt-contrib-copy": "1.0.0",
"grunt-contrib-csslint": "2.0.0",

"grunt-contrib-rename": "0.0.3",
"grunt-contrib-requirejs": "1.0.0",

"grunt-jsonlint": "1.1.0",
