gae plugin deploy doesn't work with --gae option

[alexlehm]

Please include as much relevant information as possible including the exact framework version you're using and a code snippet that reproduces the problem.

Framework version: play 1.1rc3
Platform you're using: windows xp, java 1.6.0-22

Reproduction steps:

when I execute
play gae:deploy --gae \path
I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError error, when executing
play gae:deploy
without the parameter it works (the path comes from the GAE_PATH)

The path is passed to the java command at the wrong position before the -classpath option

Details:

Output without the option (I have put print java_cmd before it is being run in the python script):

I have the same problem. Environment:
Ubuntu 10.10
Play 1.1
GAE module 1.1

[stephanedeluca]

same for me with java sdk 1.4.2, play 1.4.1, gae 1.4.2

[leeclarke]

I have this working with play 1.1 on WindowsXP. There are 2 possible reasons this works for me.

1. I am running everything in Mingw32 ( if your committing on windows you probably use it for git)
2. (More likely) there should be an = after gae Like this: play gae:deploy --gae=/c/devTools/appengine-java-sdk-1.4.3/

Hope that helps!

[alexlehm]

using the option with = does the trick for me

example is fixed in gae-1.4 documentation, commit cf9879a
