After trying and failing to do any Falcon work today, I'll keep complaining about this. The unit tests are no longer working in Eclipse. I get
command line Error: unable to open 'D:\Apache\incubator\flex\falcon\trunk\compiler\generated\dist\sdk\frameworks\mxml-2009-manifest.xml'. command line Error: unable to open 'D:\Apache\incubator\flex\falcon\trunk\compiler\generated\dist\sdk\frameworks\libs\player\11.1\playerglobal.swc'. This is presumably because the SDK is no longer being copied into a place that the unit tests can find them. The unit tests can't use an environment variable to find them because it is infeasible to specify that environment every time you want to make an Eclipse debug config for a particular unit test. Is there some way to make this work in Eclipse that I don't know about, so that every JUnit test "just work" without having to customize a run-config or debug-config for it? If not, I will restore some ant targets to do the SDK copying. Alex may not want to use them, but I need to. - Gordon -----Original Message----- From: Gordon Smith Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2012 2:58 PM To: flex-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: RE: [Falcon] Unit tests failing OK, then I'll stop complaining. - Gordon -----Original Message----- From: Alex Harui [mailto:aha...@adobe.com] Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2012 1:59 PM To: flex-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [Falcon] Unit tests failing The versions in compiler/commandline already looked for FLEX_HOME environment variable.
