Error building on private net

[webpolis]

Hi

I run a private net, when I do embark build privatenet, the following occurs:

@webpolis this only happens when running in privatenet but not in development? do you have any contract config set for "default" or "privatenet" ?

[webpolis]

@iurimatias yes, in fact, embark run privatenet works great and I can access and play with the contracts right from the Embark console.

My contracts.json:

{
    "default": {
        "contracts": {
            "escrow": {
                "args": [],
                "gas": "auto"
            },
            "token": {
                "args": [87600000000000000000, "token", 2, "T"],
                "gas": "auto"
            }
        }
    }
}

[iurimatias]

ok, I'll investigate, might be a bug with embark build, can you let me know what version of Embark you are using plz? embark version

[webpolis]

Thanks. I'm debugging myself the buildAndDeploy method to see why the contractsManager isn't passed by.

My version is 2.1.4

[webpolis]

@iurimatias ok, it was easy. Please check PR #203

Also, I noted that once I fixed that directly in my local npm package copy (which I assume is based on master branch) there is an error because of the mising self reference here https://github.com/iurimatias/embark-framework/blob/master/lib/index.js#L128

This was fixed on develop branch https://github.com/iurimatias/embark-framework/blob/develop/lib/index.js#L146
