I have been using IntelliJ for regular FlexSDK work for the last 3 years, after moving away from Flashbuilder, but I have not figured out how to set Intellij up correctly for FlexJS yet. I did get it working for javascript build and launch by following (iirc) one of Josh's tutorials, but I have not used that routinely for what I have been doing so far.
I mainly use ant scripts because I am trying to build both js and swf at the same time. I know, I know, I should be using maven too! :) I will, I've just stuck with the familiar while I've been starting out here. There are not really many automated tests for the framework builds. These are the flexunit tests you're talking about, right? I added one for BinaryData when I worked on it, but this only runs in swf for the build, I had manually run the same tests against js. What I struggled with so far was unit-testing across swf and js at the same time as I worked on things. This was why I wanted to work on Reflection. Because if we can have some way to run the same unit tests against js as well, then it makes the flexunit build tests more meaningful. So there is a new manualtest called 'GenericTests' You can follow the examples in there to add more tests, and these should be compatible with basic flexunit tests (synchronous only tests at the moment) This has an ant build script, similar to the other manual tests which builds both js and swf output. And there is a 'testsview' folder inside which lets you view the swf and js output side-by-side (and toggle between js-debug and js-release builds). This is just something preliminary that I find useful during framework development, but it also should create a set of tests that are compatible for use in automated testing in the framework builds via flexunit. For the more visual/interactive tests or even for the example apps, I would personally find it much more convenient to also run them side-by-side in the same browser tab like this, instead of in separate tabs. I also think it might be good way to show people working examples of js and swf similarity in a showcase site. I think most people like to be able to directly compare things like this. OT: Chris, fyi I think the reflection support should be pretty close to what you might need for amf encoding whenever you feel ready to look into that (you just need to collect variables and accessors from a TypeDefinition and exclude anything with 'Transient' metadata, I think). I also added a quick registerClassAlias/getClassAlias implementation in the reflection package. cheers Greg On Tue, Sep 27, 2016 at 8:54 PM, Christofer Dutz <christofer.d...@c-ware.de> wrote: > Hi Olaf, > > > I use IntelliJ completely.
