Are the Flex Ant tasks open source? If so, where to find them?

I took a brief look into Flex SDK source and didn't see the Flex Ant tasks. Is this also open source? Where would I find it?
I probably won't change anything, just want to take a look. Although, I'm annoyed that the tasks don't work in a similar fashion as the core ant tasks
Thanks.

http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/trunk/modules/antTasks
Note that the way the tasks are put together ain't exactly pretty--they're just a very thin wrapper on mxmlc / compc / etc. There are some advantages to this approach, but if you're hoping to learn about the compiler options by looking at the task source, it could take some doing.

Does compiling an advanced datagrid using flex ant task require additional config other than the license property?

Hi,
 I am trying to build my Flex app which uses the Advanced Data Grid in a couple of locations. Originally, when I built the app using the flex ant tasks, I noticed the Visualization Trial watermark show up on the screen. I then added the license tag with the serial number to my flex-config.xml and re-ran my ant build. The watermark goes away, but then when I look at the advanced datagrid, the datagrid shows up with the hierarchy, but the data does not display in the grid (only the group by nodes are visible, not the data for the leaf elements). This works fine when I build the app using my Flex Builder. Is there something I am missing or need to add to my flex ant task to make this work?
Any help or guidance is much appreciated.

You should use compiler.library-path to include libraries.
Try the following
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<project basedir="." default="build" name="Project_name">
<property environment="env"/>
<property name="FLEX_HOME" value="C:/Program Files/Flex 3.4"/>

<compiler.library-path>
<include name="${Project_name.location}/src" />
</compiler.library-path>
</mxmlc>
</target>
</project>
Although, I don't know what are you planning to include, and whether you should use compiler.library-path for that.

Compilation of adobe air app that uses ANE fails while using the flex ant tasks.

The resolution seems to be a hack - which when you rename .ane files to .swc, it works.
I came across this workaround here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11112705/using-ant-mxmlc-task-with-native-extension?rq= 1
<mxmlc file="${app.root}/app.as"
 output="${output.dir}/app.swf"
 allow-source-path-overlap="true"
 debug="false"
 actionscript-file-encoding="UTF-8"
 swf-version="19" >
 <load-config filename="${framework.root}/air-config.xml"/>
 <source-path path-element="${framework.root}"/>
 <source-path path-element="src"/>
 <source-path path-element="other"/>
 <compiler.library-path dir="libs" append="true">
 <include name="**/*.swc"/>
 </compiler.library-path>
 
 <compiler.external-library-path dir="nativeExtension" append="true">
 <include name="**/*.ane"/>
 </compiler.external-library-path>
 </mxmlc>
However, if I rename all the .ane files in the nativeExtension directory to .swc the following change works..
 
 <compiler.external-library-path dir="nativeExtension" append="true">
 <include name="**/*.swc"/>
 </compiler.external-library-path>
Has this issue been addressed?
I'm using the following:
- Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler (version 3.7) for Mac OS X
- ActionScript Compiler 2.0
- Apache Ant wrapper located in "AIRSDK_Compiler/ant/lib/flexTasks.jar"
Let me know if any other details will be helpful.

I'm using something like this in my build.xml (inapp.purchase.flash.swc is the flash wrapper for the ANE):
 <external-library-path dir="${basedir}/extensions/inapp.purchase/inapp.purchase.flash/bin" append="true">
 <include name="inapp.purchase.flash.swc" />
 </external-library-path>
I don't think you need ANE when building swf component of your app. ANE is only required for packaging. By linking with external inapp.purchase.flash.swc you're just telling action script compiler that above symbols will be defined later (in ANE).

Flex Ant Task

I am setting up Ant to compile my flex projects.
When I use compc to compile my SWC library, I need a way to
include all of my assets without naming them all in
<include-file> tags. Is it possible to pass a directory or a
pattern or a fileset? It is very unmanageable if I have to name
each asset in the script since we are constantly
adding/removing/renaming assets.
Thanks!

I don't think that it is possible currently.

Flex ant html-wrapper

I cannot get the Flex ant tasks to run.
I have copied the lib/flexTasks.jar to my project.
- created a Proj-config.xml
- created a Wrapper-build.xml
- created an External Run Config that points to my
Wrapper-build.xml.
I keep getting Exception Occurred Executing Command Line.
No matter what I put in the xml file I get the same error.
Is there anything I can do to see the flexTasks.jar kicking?
<taskdef resource="flexTasks.tasks"
classpath="${basedir}/flexTasks/lib/flexTasks.jar" />
Thanks.j

Yeah, that's what I'm going to be doing, using Flex Builder's
generated template. Of course this defeats the purpose of the Ant
task completely.
As for making an enhancement request- it's already been done,
and was apparently deemed a waste of time:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-14195
"Deferred" i.e. it was shrugged off as not important. Without
even providing any kind of target date or version for "Deferred"
features, you might as well say "This is indefinitely postponed and
will probably never get done."
Sorry to sound bitter but I've seen too many important
"Deferred" issues with Flex that will probably never be resolved.
Ever since they deferred 50% of refactoring (rename is implemented
in FB3 but move isn't??) I've yet to be impressed with Adobe's
responsiveness on other issues.

Building from flex builder vs ant task

I have a flex application written using flex builder. When I
build it and run it using flex builder, or create an air file from
flex builder and run that, then my application works just fine.
However, I would like people without copies of flexBuilder
installed to be able to build my application, so I am using the
flex ant task (flex-mxmlc) to build my application. As far as I can
tell I have the same configuration, and the same libraries included
in the ant task. However, when I run the air file generated by the
ant task nothing happens. If you look in the task manager, you can
see that the application is running, but the main window for the
application never appears.
I tried running the swf through a debug version of flash to
get some log output, and I am getting a bunch of exceptions, the
first of which is:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.display::NativeWindow
could not be found.
at flash.display::MovieClip/nextFrame()
at mx.managers::SystemManager/deferredNextFrame()
at
mx.managers::SystemManager/preloader_initProgressHandler()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at mx.preloaders::Preloader/timerHandler()
at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()
at flash.utils::Timer/tick()
It seems like it might not be finding the main flex library
(flexlib.swc), is that where that class would be? In my ant task I
have an include-libraries tag that points to that file.
Anyone have any ideas?

I experienced a similar problem (although the class that
could not be found was different for me). Googling around I found
someone who had a similar problem and claimed that using the
flexlib.swc library was the culprit.
The root of the problem is that the Flex SDK that comes
bundled with the Flex Builder has libraries (under frameworks/libs)
that are NOT included in plain free Flex SDK that you and I are
presumably using on our build machines.
When flexlib.swc is linked in, it causes certain classes to
be required at runtime. Apparently when you compile these classes
are linked in if available, but when they are not the compilation
still succeeds. Only you get a VerifyError when you run the thing.
What worked for me was to copy all the additional .swc files
found in my Flex Builder SDK's frameworks/libs directory to the
same directory on my build machine. Also you will need to copy the
additional files under frameworks/locale/en_US.
Rebuild and clear your browser's cache and it should then
work.

Ant task cyclic library refrence

This also seems to work. AIR libraries are included in my output SWF. It all happens right when I have static-link-runtime-shared-libraries="true" . Why? Why does that not work when i have static-link-runtime-shared-libraries="false" ??

Flex Ant html-wrapper task

http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Ant_Tasks
Isn't there a way to use a CUSTOM template instead of one of
the predefined ones?
If you want to add anything additional, like telling the
browser not to cache the swf, or detecting when the browser window
is closed, etc, there doesn't seem to be a way to do this if you're
using this Ant task.
What do people usually do when they need a custom wrapper?
Just use the version that Flex Builder generates, or run the Ant
task one time only and modify from there? Seems to me that this is
a pretty big omission for the html-wrapper task, unless I've missed
something.

Yeah, that's what I'm going to be doing, using Flex Builder's
generated template. Of course this defeats the purpose of the Ant
task completely.

Creating custom html-wrapper from ANT build

Hi,
I have been using flex from last six month. I am facing problem while creating html-wrapper. As per my requirement, my application need to run on all the browser. But whenever I use to run application on firefox, there is some focus related problem. For that I need to set wmode='opaque' and <
body scroll="no" onLoad="window.document.${application}.focus();">. But I am unable to find out how to set this property in html-wrapper through ant build.
currently I am using following and script to build my flex application.

I have also tried to edit respective index.template.html file in flex SDK, but that also doesn't work. Please suggest what shoud I do?

Flexunit ant task on CI Server - rundll32.exe causing problems

My team is using flexunit and a CI server running Hudson. On a development system, everything runs fine, and we get the reports just like we need them. It also works fine on the CI server when just the flexunit task is run, but the build fails when the CI server tries to run a full build - the build tries to run the tests and clean to prepare for the next build, but the clean fails because there is a "rundll32.exe" process using one of the files and it can't be deleted. We tracked this process down to the one run by the flexunit task.
Our task is:
 <target name="xci-test" depends="set-flex-coverage-home, prepare-domain-metadata-to-war, prepare-sounds-to-war, prepare-domain-metadata-for-testing, compile-unit-test-flex">
 <echo>**** The flexunit target requires that you have the standalone flash player installed and configured to run .swf files automatically! ****</echo>
 <mkdir dir="${dir.flexgui.test.output}"/>
 
 
 <flexunit workingDir="${dir.flexgui.test.output}"
 swf="${dir.flexgui.build.war}/${flex.swf.name}test.swf"
 toDir="${dir.flexgui.test.output}"
 haltonfailure="false" verbose="true" localTrusted="true"
 port="11028" timeout="40000"/>
 
 <junitreport todir="${dir.flexgui.test.output}">
 <fileset dir="${dir.flexgui.test.output}">
 <include name="TEST-*.xml"/>
 </fileset>
 <report format="frames" todir="${dir.flexgui.test.output}/"/>
 </junitreport>
 <sleep seconds="10"/>
 </target>
I can reproduce this behavior on my dev machine by running "ant xci-test clean". We tried putting a sleep in to give the process time to shut down, no change. We attempted to use the 'command' option to the flexunit task to bypass the use of rundll32.exe, but then the flash player just hangs onto the file and the clean still fails. Since "ant xci-test" followed by "ant clean" works, we also tried running ant from within ant in order to force the process to stop, but that also didn't work. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Linden

@Linden - Have not heard of this side effect from anyone as of yet, but good to know. Sounds like the file lock is coming from the Flash Player and causing the spawning process (rundll32.exe) to hang around as well. The FlexUnit team runs on Hudson using the FlexUnit Ant task, but we don't seem to encounter the same issue. What's the longest interval you've tried to use with the sleep task? Does the FP ever release its handle to the test SWF on your development machines?
Not sure this is a problem with the FlexUnit Ant task, but in 4.2 we could try to explicitly kill the rundll32 process since we'll have the PID when the task launches it. Head on over to JIRA and file a feature request for us and I'll see what I can do in the new year. In the short term though, maybe try upgrading your version of the stand alone debug flash player to see if that helps. Has anyone else seen this issue? Could you possible just move the clean target to be called before the xci-test target is run? Just some suggestions.

Can i reference external flex-config in flexunit ant task?

flexunit gurus,
i'm trying to figure out how to best specify the compiler arguments for the flexunit ant task in flexunit 4.1 beta 1. from the documentation i see this sample flexunit usage:
<flexunit workingDir="${bin.loc}" toDir="${report.loc}"
haltonfailure="false" verbose="true" localTrusted="true">
<testSource dir="${main.src.loc}" />
<testSource dir="${test.src.loc}">
<include name="**/*Test.as" />
</testSource>
<library dir="${lib.loc}" />
</flexunit>
in this example, the source and library paths are explicitly listed. in this simple example all the needed libraries reside within a single directory.
when i build my application, i use a custom flex-config.xml file, as the following snippet shows:
 <mxmlc file="${application.file}" output="${swf.debug.file}" debug="true" headless-server="${headless.server}">
 <load-config filename="${flex.config.file}" />
 </mxmlc>
in that custom flex-config.xml file i list all the build options (e.g. source dirs, library paths, theme, etc.) appropriate for building the application. the libraries i reference are in a number of different directories (in general each 3rd party library is in a different directory).
in the flexunit task, i could individually reference all the same libraries that are in the flex-config.xml, but that'd be a pain to keep them in sync. i suppose i also could parse the flex-config.xml to extract the library information and use that to populate the library argument. really what i want to say in the flexunit task is "build all source and tests as indicated in flex-config.xml, then run the tests", perhaps with a syntax like the following:
<flexunit workingDir="${bin.loc}" toDir="${report.loc}"
haltonfailure="false" verbose="true" localTrusted="true">
 <load-config filename="${flex.config.file}" />
<testSource dir="${test.src.loc}">
<include name="**/*Test.as" />
</testSource>
<library dir="${flexunit.lib}" />
</flexunit>
i'd rather keep the flex-config.xml file free of any test specific information, so ideally i'd specify the path to the flexunit swc's and the test path in the flexunit task (as in the above example).
is there support for such usage currently or planned for in the future? recommendations on how best to accomplish my goal of not duplicating library information already present in a custom flex-config.xml?
thanks.

hi brian,
thanks for your response.
i understand the desire to avoid re-implementing the flex sdk ant tasks. i'm not sure that can reasonably be accomplished wihen the TestRunner is dynamically generated from within the flexunit task. in addition to the source path and library path, the theme setting and namespaces settings can affect successful compilation, and the runtime-shared-library-path setting can affect whether the produced swf runs correctly.
perhaps there's an alternative. what if we separate the creation of the TestRunner.mxml from the compilation and the execution of the tests. if flexunit offers an ant task that can produce (but not run) a TestRunner.mxml, i can write the mxmlc task that compiles it properly, and then i can invoke the old style flexunit specifying the swf argument. this would still accomplish my primary goal of not needing to manually enumerate every test file in a TestRunner.mxml that i have to maintain (and which neither Flash Builder nor maven builds require). to compile the TestRunner.mxml, i'd load in my custom flex-config.xml, then append to the source path and library path to include my test directory and flexunit libraries.
maybe something like the following to create the TestRunner:
<generatetestrunner output="${bin.loc}/TestRunner.mxml">
 <testSource dir="${test.dir}">
 <include name="**/*Test.as" />
 </testSource>
</generatetestrunner>
thoughts?
one other thing i noticed about the current library argument to flexunit is that it assumes a directory even if you provide an explicit path to an swc (i tried switching <library dir...> to <library file...> but that didn't seem to make a difference). in my case, there are specific swc's i need in the library path, and the task assuming i mean a directory when i specify an explicit swc is problematic. the directory my swc libraries are contained in sometimes contain multiple and conflicting versions of a library (each library directory contains various snapshot builds of the library). i need a way to explicitly indicate which library to use.
finally, could you point me to the java source for the flexunit ant tasks? i've found the flexunit action script source ok but haven't found where the java ant task is defined.
thanks.
