-sigh- Sadly I was wrong. While the client/server are all functional, the GWT Development mode isnt going anything. It loads the URL, but has no communication whatsoever. The normal realtime updates doesn't work. Even the most trivial client change makes no difference without a real compile. In fact, closing the red GWT Development popup window doesnt even stop the client working -clearly its doing nothing beyond launching it.
** Can anyone on this list confirm if the GWT for Waves client has ever worked for realtime(ish)development ? ** Am I pursuing something that no one has got working? That is, the cycle of "run">>"look at client in browser">>"make client code changes">>"refresh browser">>"see changes" The notes in the build.xml seem to indicate it should ""Runs the hosted mode server, for debugging the GWT client in a JVM." implies running via Java, not java, not javascript. That should be realtime. also; On 20 December 2013 02:15, Frank R. <renfeng...@gmail.com> wrote: > You don't need this at all. > > <arg line="-startupUrl http://localhost:9898"/> > > > On Tue, Dec 17, 2013 at 1:26 AM, Yuri Z <vega...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Try to add the startupUrl like this: > > > > <target name="hosted-gwt" depends="compile" > > description="Runs the hosted mode server, for debugging the GWT > > client in a JVM."> > > <java failonerror="true" fork="true" > > classname="com.google.gwt.dev.DevMode"> > > <classpath> > > <pathelement location="${src.dir}"/> > > <pathelement location="${gen.dir}/messages"/> > > <path refid="libpath"/> > > </classpath> > > <jvmarg value="-Xmx512M"/> > > <jvmarg value="-ea"/> > > <jvmarg > > > > > value="-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8001"/> > > <arg value="-noserver" /> > > <arg line="-bindAddress 0.0.0.0" /> > > <arg line="${gwt.args}"/> > > <arg line="-startupUrl http://localhost:9898"/> > > <arg value="org.waveprotocol.box.webclient.WebClientProd"/> > > > > > > I just tested this again without <arg line="-startupUrl http://localhost:9898"/>, and it definitely doesn't connect. "No startup URLs supplied and no plausible ones found -- use -startupUrl" in the GWT Development popup window. Thanks as always for all the help, Thomas
