Command line build?

Beta Testing HTML5
#1

Hi,

I’m guessing the answer is no since I couldn’t find anything in the forums, but is it possible to start a build from the command line? HTML5 specifically.

-dev

Using Solar2D with CI/CD

Let me move this to the HTML5 forum.

Hi,

I’ve handled it for now using an AppleScript, but still curious for cross platform usage.

This was brought up before, https://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/61405-scripting-build/. I am doing the same as you and using Automator but it is not an ideal solution. I really wanted it more for my Jenkins setup.

Would be nice to have something like this available to launch a simulator build from the command line. 

My thoughts was to be able to load the corona simulator from the terminal passing parameters to it:

 

For example:

 

/Applications/CoronaSDK/Corona Simulator.app -build Android -name “May App Name” -version “1.0” -package “com.mycompany.myapp” -keystore /path/to/my/keystore -keyalias “alias” -output /path/to/apk/output

 

Builds would still happen as they do now in the cloud.

OK. With 3247 you can do something like this on macOS:

builder=~/Library/Application\ Support/Corona/Native/Corona/mac/bin/CoronaBuilder.app/Contents/MacOS/CoronaBuilder ${builder} build --lua build.lua 

On Windows will work in 3248 (minor bug in 3247 breaks a build)

cd "%CORONA\_PATH%" Native\Corona\win\bin\CoronaBuilder.exe build --lua Z:\Projects\b2-win-html.lua

 
with contents of build.lua:

local params = {   platform='html5',   appName='2 Player Html',   appVersion='1.0',   dstPath='/Users/vlad/Projects/myCoolApp',   projectPath='/Users/vlad/CoronaBuiltApps',   -- includeStandardResources=false, } return params

And make sure to run Native/Setup Corona Native.app

Cheers!

Hi,

Thank you very much for adding this ability.  :smiley:

I had to end up using:

builder=/Applications/Corona-3248/Native/Corona/mac/bin/CoronaBuilder.app/Contents/MacOS/CoronaBuilder

I assume that is because I am using a daily build? It works great though.

Vlad,

This is amazing!! Thanks this will help so much. I did see that Android is not implemented yet, do you know when it might be?

Thanks,

Hi,

@vlads This is working great on macOS, but I’m not having as good as luck on Windows 10.

No matter how I go about it I get the following lines at the start of the build:

CoronaBuilder: building project with 'C:\Users\develephant\Documents\Corona Projects\build.lua' Current authorization is 'Corona' for user '\<my-email\>' Building app 'browserInfo' Version '1.0' Platform 'HTML5' PlatformVersion '-1' Project: 'C:\Users\develephant\Documents\Corona Projects' Dst: 'C:\Users\develephant\Documents\Corona Projects\htmlbuild' Custom build id: 'none' Build type: 'distribution' The system cannot find the file specified. The system cannot find the file specified. ... [full log below]

The strange thing is the build will run through all the steps and even say the build succeeded, but when running in the browser it’s just a default non-content app.

build.lua

local params = { platform='html5', appName='browserInfo', appVersion='1.0', dstPath='C:\\Users\\develephant\\Documents\\Corona Projects\\htmlbuild', projectPath='C:\\Users\\develephant\\Documents\\Corona Projects', -- includeStandardResources=false, } return params

main.lua

print("Corona HTML5") display.newText({ text = "Corona HTML5", x = display.contentCenterX, y = 80, font = native.systemFont, fontSize = 36 })

Command line

Hi,

This is on build 3249 I should have mentioned.

-dev

#10

We generally don’t recommend outputing a build to the project folder. Maybe that’s getting you.

Rob

#11

Hi,

Thanks @Rob. I’ll play around a bit. What actually happens behind the scenes is the appName is appended to the paths so it ends up like…

 dstPath='C:\\Users\\develephant\\Documents\\Corona Projects\\htmlbuild\\\<appName\>', projectPath='C:\\Users\\develephant\\Documents\\Corona Projects\\\<appName\>'

…when the build runs. Not sure if that still coincides with what you are referring to?

That seems like it would be safe.

Hi,

Thanks @Rob. Hopefully @vlads will have something to say about it when he has a chance.

Hi,

Just to note, I did get this figured out. It appears I needed to put the app directory in the projectPath. Not sure why I thought otherwise.

EDIT: Still shows the “The system cannot find the file specified.” output though, but it appears to work in any case.

Hi guys, 

The Corona Builder looks really good. Where can I read more and download it?

Hi.

@Yoger Games - You can find more info in this thread.

https://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/72289-corona-html5-builder-cli-tool/

It’s specifically for HTML5 builds.

If you don’t want to use that tool, have a look at @vlads post above.
