AW: Flex unit 4.2.0

2014-04-23 Thread Christofer Dutz
Oh ... just saw that it is built using ANT ... I couldn't find any pom.xml 
files in it.
Quess I had to manually write the poms the last time I deployed them :-(
Well I guess it would be a good idea to do so. I would fefinitely volunteer to 
deploy 
FlexUnit as this would make using it in Flexmojos a lot easier :-)

But first we would have to decide on what group Id we should use.
I ould suggest on using the following data:


org.apache.flex.flexunit
flexunit
4.2


What to you think?

2014-04-23 Thread Christofer Dutz
Ok, so I'll add this to my todo ... so I would assume if I checkout the release 
revision and build that, I would have some pom files generated. I would 
manually adjust these to the GroupId and version 4.2.0 (I like 3-segment 
versions too) and would deploy this to sonatype and have that mirrored to maven 
central? 

Is that Ok for me to do, or does there need to be some sort of vote on this? 

I would then update to trunk and update the pom template to generate the 
correct pom files in future releases.

There a pom.template in the root directory but it's incorrect and has old 
flexunit information in it - we'll need to fix that.

Looks good to me - may want to make it 4.2.0 just in case we have a 4.2.1 
release.

Well having a look at the template it certainly needs adjusting, as the scm 
section references the old flexunig github repo ... this should be changed to 
the apache flexunit one.
There will probably be a set of other things to change, but I'll have a look at 
this as soon as I'm home from work.

Thanks for the links ... especially the second I didn't know yet ... so I would 
get working on this ... after all I'm currently refactoring the mavenizer to 
produce FDKs we could publish there too. So this would be a good test-run ;-)

Yep. I fixed the obvious issues in develop. Probably means that once this is

Releasing The SDK-Converter (Mavenizer)?

2014-04-23 Thread Christofer Dutz
Hi,



I am currently completeley refactoring the Mavenizer to consist of independent 
modules for converting AIR, Flash and Flex separately. I need this in order to 
use those modules in the new Flexmojos verify-mojo that should take care of 
downloading and mavenizing air and flash artifacts. This is needed in order for 
us to be able to officially publish flex in a public maven repo.



However, in order to use these in Flexmojos I would need them to be publically 
available (Even if I should be safe to have them in some SNAPSHOT version). How 
in general would the process of releasing these modules be? (as they are only a 
part of the utilities sub-project). Are we able to release parts of this 
independently from the rest of the utilities module? Otherwise I would stick to 
adding a clone of the code to Flexmojos for now and work with that till we have 
settled any release problems.

Are you talking about the flex-utilities repo?  You can definitely release

that does the packaging and building.  The Installer is a subset of that

Spare Cycles to Document FlexUnit Feature

2014-04-23 Thread Michael A. Labriola

Anyone have spare cycles they could use the document a FlexUnit feature.

There is a feature of FlexUnit called the EventRule which I have never had time 
to document. It's actually extraordinarily useful and really helpful. I slipped 
it into an older FlexUnit release but never told anyone about it. So, it could 
be the first feature we publicize from the Apache release.

It has unit tests to look at and I am more than willing to give someone 
guidance and input, but I find myself continually deferring this task as I 
don't have enough time to actually write it up.

Let me know if anyone is willing. This would be a great way to contribute.

Thanks,
Mike

AW: Releasing The SDK-Converter (Mavenizer)?

2014-04-23 Thread Christofer Dutz
Yes I am talking about the flex-utilities repo.

Well the sdk converter is built by maven and would probably be released using 
mavens built-in release process.
Here the same steps can be done as with Ant ... all the packaging, signing, 
deploying etc. 
Think it would also be a good test for a maven based apache release.

The thing I was unsure about was that if it is possible to release parts of a 
repo. Bui I would assume that it is.

Not sure if appropriate, but the Apache Flex Wiki comes to mind. At least
there you can work together with the people in the know, and have your
stuff reviewed. When finished, one of the committers can probably take the
entire wiki entry as a patch and put it into the docs in the repo...

If you agree, Alex has the karma to grant you edit privileges on the wiki.

I don't have any particular objection to you using Maven instead of Ant.
Some folks did object to us using any non-built-in features of Ant like
the contrib library.  Not sure if you'll get objections to using
third-party libraries in Maven and if you'll need to use one to prompt
someone for license acceptance.

RE: Spare Cycles to Document FlexUnit Feature

Awesome, Amy Blankenship started on some of this a while back. If she is on 
this list she might have some to contribute as well. In the meantime, here are 
the tests that go along with the feature:

https://github.com/apache/flex-flexunit/tree/master/FlexUnit4Test/src/org/flexunit/events/rule/cases

To give some context, the EventRule is supposed to be a really, really easy way 
to handle testing of things that use Events as their primary communication 
mechanism. It supposed to be an easier version of something like this (which 
was for FlexUnit .9):

http://blogs.adobe.com/tomsugden/2008/01/post.html

In General, Rules are a way to add extensibility to the flexunit framework. So 
the EventRule is basically an extensibility package for testing events.

The important starting point of all of these tests is:

[Rule]
public var expectEvent:EventRule = new EventRule();

Take a look at those to start. Feel free to ask tons of questions. I am happy 
to answer. This may all seem a bit obtuse at first but this is one of those 
gems no one knows about.

Thanks,
Mike

Re: [DISCUSS] Discuss Apache FlexJS 0.0.1 RC1

2014-04-23 Thread Steffi
Hi Erik,


Swcs:
the FlexJS SDK contains several swcs. For the test project I use the
following swcs:

  playerglobal.swc
  Halo.swc
  FlexJSJX.swc
  FlexJSUI.swc
  MXMLCClasses.swc

Do you think this could be the default set for any FlexJS project.
At FDT we plan to add a new project type for FlexJS projects. 
Any project type contains a default set of swcs.

Debugging:
This problem occured during debugging of the SWF generated with FlexJS:
The UI radio buttons () are not clickable. 
They ignore any mouse interaction. 
Is there something missing in the DataBindingTest example?


Regards,
Stephanie Swiderski

Halo.swc should not be use by FlexJS applications, but may be needed to
keep the compiler from complaining.  If you can build without it, then it
is best to leave it out.

There is a bug in radio button/checkbox that clicking on the actual
graphic does not work, but clicking on its label should work.  Let us know
if clicking on the label does not work.

The publish button seemed to work.

FlexUnit is top news on the home page.
FlexJS is on the list of downloads.

I will send the announcement email to the users and dev lists.  Blogs.a.o

[ANNOUNCE] Apache FlexJS 0.0.1 and Apache Flex FalconJX 0.0.1 Released

2014-04-23 Thread Alex Harui
The Apache Flex community is pleased to announce the initial (alpha)
release of Apache FlexJS SDK 0.0.1 and Apache Flex FalconJX Compiler 0.0.1.

Apache Flex is a highly productive, open source application framework for
building and maintaining expressive applications that deploy consistently
on all major browsers, desktops and devices (including smartphones,
tablets and tv).

Apache FlexJS is a next-generation Flex SDK that enables developers to use
MXML and ActionScript to not only create SWFs but also cross-compile the
same MXML and ActionScript to HTML/JS/CSS so applications can run natively
in browsers.  The cross-compiled code can also be used in Apache Cordova
(Adobe PhoneGap) mobile applications.

Apache Flex FalconJX is a next-generation MXML and ActionScript
cross-compiler.  It extends the next-generation SWF compiler known as
Falcon.  Both are contained in the release package and are used by the
FlexJS package to compile SWFs or cross-compile to HTML/JS/CSS.

This is the initial release of FlexJS and FalconJX.  It is 'alpha'
quality.  The purpose of this release is to gather feedback about the
features and implementation strategies, and recruit new contributors as we
grow these code bases into an SDK and tool chain that delivers the highest
productivity developing applications that can run in the most places.
These releases may not handle production needs.  Expect lots of bugs and
missing features.  Please file bugs at:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX/

For questions about how to use FlexJS and FalconJX, send email to
us...@flex.apache.org.  Please try to prefix the subject with [FlexJS] or
[FalconJX] so it is clear the questions refer to this release and not the
Flex SDK and MXMLC compiler.

For questions and feedback on the development of the source code in these
release, send email to dev@flex.apache.org.  Again, please prefix the
subject with [FlexJS] or [FalconJX].

Apache FlexJS and Apache Flex FalconJX are available in source and binary
form from the following download page:
http://flex.apache.org/download-flexjs.html

When downloading from a mirror site, please remember to verify the
downloads using signatures or MD5 hashes.

A simple way to try these releases is to use a pre-release of the
InstallApacheFlex 3.0 application which is available at the following url:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/flex/installer/3.0/rc7/binaries/

Choose Apache FlexJS 0.0.1 and it will create an Adobe Flash
Builder-compatible SDK that uses the Falcon and FalconJX compilers to
generate SWFs and HTML/JS/CSS output.  See the README or the FlexJS wiki
for more information.  The FlexJS section of the wiki is at the following
url:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/FlexJS

For more information on Apache Flex, visit the project home page:
http://flex.apache.org

New installer errors

2014-04-23 Thread Justin Mclean
Hi,

Over the last few days and not looking good. Anyone have any idea to what the 
issue(s) may be and why we getting so many installs failing?

There seems to be more issues on windows (permissions, https issue?) or perhaps 
we just have a few bad mirrors out there (anyway to check this?) or perhaps it 
reporting failures when it actually works?

Flex 4.12 windows 9 success (5 people) 13 failures (5 people)
Flex 4.12 osx 1 success 1 failure
Flex 4.11 windows 1 failure
Flex SDK Nightly windows 4 failures (3 people)
Flex JS windows  2 success 2 failures 
Flex JS mac  3 success 1 failure

Have a mail log to dev list button on the log window would be a useful thing I 
think.

Thanks,
Justin

RE: Question about mobile StageText pool

2014-04-23 Thread Maurice Amsellem
I have just committed a fix for this issue, based on the "alternative option":
- removed both StageText => ScrollableStageText and ScrollableStageText => 
StageText maps from StageTextPool 
- SST maintains a reference to its latest StageText , so the maps are not 
needed anymore
- added some sanity checks so that savedStageText cannot be used if it has been 
disposed by the cyclical purge, or reused by another TextInput.

I did two tests with both persistent TI container (same instance 
added/removed), and non-persistent.
In both cases, GC is done properly (in the profiler) 

CheckinTests and Mustella Mobile/TextInput test pass.

So it's looking good to me.

Can someone please review the changes, in case I missed something:

Actually, this is the case: only StageText are cached.  
SST acts as a *key* in the reverse dictionary (SST => ST).
Stage text is released (and put into the cache) when SST is removed from the 
stage.
If the same SST is added back to the stage, and it's ST is still in the cache, 
then it gets the same ST instance.
That's why a map SST to ST is needed.

It's already using weak keys:
  private  var map_StyleableStageText_to_StageText:Dictionary = new 
Dictionary(true);
  private  var map_StageText_to_StyleableStageText:Dictionary = new 
Dictionary(true);


It's worse than what I thought:

I replaced all the event listeners to use weak references, still does not work. 
This is because each SST instance that is used as a key in the pool reverse map 
is still referencing:
-  TextInputSkin (in styleName, parent, owner, automationParent, 
automationOwner)
-  TitleWindowSkin (in document, parentDocument)...
- probably other referenced I didn't see ...
So it's locking them (TextInputSkin and TitleWindowSkin) in memory.

I tried nulling the references when the SST is removed from stage,  does not 
work.

I also tried to disable the pool, => the instances are correctly released, so 
at least we know where the problem is, but this is not an option.

I thought about another possibility would be to use the SST itself as a map, 
instead of a static map (SST => ST) .
This could be done as follows:
- each SST will have a "savedStageText" variable, which contains the last 
StageText instance, when the SST is not on the stage
- whenever the SST is put back to stage, if it has a 'savedStageText', it will 
be used instead of allocating a new SST.
- new SST will get a StageText from the pool of unused stage texts (as 
currently)
- we also need a mechanism to avoid having too many savedStageText instances 
(which would overflow the OS memory).  Maybe something like a counter 

I will sleep on it ...

I think I understand your description, but I'm surprised that each skin 
instance doesn't have its own ScrollableStageText.  I would think only the 
StageText instances are pooled.  It seems ok to use removeFromStage to cut any 
references between the StageText and the ScrollableStageText since a Skin not 
on the display list has no need for a StageText.

I think you also have the option of making the back referencing pool a weak 
reference dictionary.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Apache FlexJS 0.0.1 and Apache Flex FalconJX 0.0.1 Released

2014-04-23 Thread DarkStone
Hi Alex,

I've spread the word to my social network in China, any web traffics to
http://flex.apache.org/download-flexjs.html that comes from China, should
prove how many Chinese developers are interested.

Also hoping the Flex SDK Installer 3.0 would release soon.

Have you used InstallApacheFlex 3.0 in the last two days?

2014-04-23 Thread Alex Harui
Hi,

Our usage tracking is showing that folks using the Apache Flex Installer
3.0 are reporting lots of failed or aborted installs on Windows.  If
you've installed an Apache Flex SDK over the last two days or so and
didn't complete the install, can you tell us why?

Thanks,
-Alex

2014-04-23 Thread Justin Mclean
HI,

Perhaps CC to users as well? (However with the number of installs I'd guess 
less than 10% of people are signed up to either list.)
