ping @hiroMTB

If there is an easy fix to fix the error without losing the new IDE selection support would be great to do a PR so we can do a release.

Thanks!

I have to say after download the projectGenerator project from github and installed it, the message disappeared, however I am not able to pick a platform, by default XCode is set and I can't change it. Plus, I am using Ubuntu 19.04. Thanks!

Hello, thanks for testing my update.
As @bakercp mentioned in openframeworks/openFrameworks#6382, npm install or npm update should solve this issue. (Or maybe we need to update /frontend/npm-shrinkwrap.json)

This is because of new npm nodule named 'n-readline'. I used this to read template.config files at here .

Right now I compiled frontend on macOS and Window 10 and I dont see any warning popup. The platform dropdown UI works ok too. Last time I tested on Ubuntu 16.04 but I can not test right now.

Could you please run npm update and if it works we can add this line in build script.

To be short,

• Solution A
  Execute npm update and push changes on /frontend/npm-shrinkwrap.json

• Solution B
  Add npm update to create_package.sh.

I sent PR above.
I think Solution A is better. This way we can make PG frontend identical.
Solution B tries to use latest npm package, so each app will be different depends on the timing of generation.

Thanks @hiroMTB, @rossanag can you check that your error is also gone after this change? should be in tomorrows nightly build

[hiroMTB]

Thanks for merge, I can check tmrw's nightly but only for osx and win.

[rossanag]

Sorry for the late response, the error message is gone, the only issue I have now is that the MAC platform is set by default and I can choose another one. I tryed solution A.
The only way to get it working is using command line

projectGenerator -o"/path/toOF" -a"ofxGui ofxCv ofxNI2" -t"vscode" /home/rossig/openFrameworks/apps/myApps/NI2

@rossanag
Thank you for checking.
It seems latest nightly is not ready yet, I will send you ping again.

Edit: Please check "advanced options" checkbox. Then you can select and deselect platforms.

About the default platform issue, I will take a look.

@arturoc
Nightly is still old, does it fail? Where can we check build log?

[arturoc]

hey, yeah the problem is nightlies need a commit to the main repo, otherwise the server considers there's no change and it doesn't trigger the nightly. Yesterday there was a change but now the main repo is broken cause of the new glm version. Once those are fixed the nightlies will get built properly

[hiroMTB]

Ah thanks!
I thought it compiles every night via cron or something because of its name.

You are right, my bad, after checking "Advanced options" I could select another platform except the option for VSCode.
I think getting the list box enabled by default would be more comfortable.

I can select VSCode platform just from the command line. I think I followed all the steps for get it included into the frontend.
