Add APP, JAR packaging code

[wasnotrice]

This is the code from wasnotrice/shoes-warbler slurped up into Shoes 4. See the README section on packaging to get started.

Kick the tires, especially on Windows.

Thanks!

@wasnotrice Awesome! I did the following on my Windows 7.

• download wasnotrice/shoes4 branch:pkg into c:\tmp
• cd c:\tmp\shoes4
• jruby --1.9 -S rake gem
• jruby --1.9 -S gem install pkg\shoes-4.0.0.pre1

So far worked perfect.

I wrote my app and save as c:\tmp\test1.rb.

Shoes.app do
  para 'hello shoes 4!!'
end

Then,

• C:\tmp\shoes4>bin\shoes -p swt:app c:\tmp\test1.rb

I got an error. So, I wrote a snippet and save as c:\tmp\shoes4\bin\shoes.bat.

call jruby --1.9 -e "$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.expand_path('../lib', __FILE__); require 'shoes/cli'; Shoes::CLI.new.run(['%0','%1', '%2', '%3'])"

Then again,

• C:\tmp\shoes4>bin\shoes -p swt:app c:\tmp\test1.rb

Wow, my app was run! I could see hello shoes 4!! on my app window!
I closed my app window by hand and got the following console log:

C:\tmp\shoes4>call jruby --1.9 -e "$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.expand_path('../lib',
 __FILE__); require 'shoes/cli'; Shoes::CLI.new.run(['bin\shoes','-p', 'swt:app'
, 'c:\tmp\test1.rb'])"
Packaging swt:app...
Creating pkg/tmp/shoesapp.jar

D, [2012-10-21T10:47:01.643000 #11052] DEBUG -- : ::Swt.display disposed

But umm... where is test1.app?
I couldn't find c:\tmp\pkg\test1.app. There was no c:\tmp\pkg directory.

[ashbb]

Found pkg/Shoes App.app. In my case, the full path is C:\jruby\bin\pkg\Shoes App.app.

Okay then, I think C:\jruby\bin\pkg\Shoes App.app\Contents\Java\shoesapp.jar is the packaged file. Right?

If so, how to execute the shoesapp.jar file?
I did the following. But got error messages...

C:\jruby\bin\pkg\Shoes App.app\Contents\Java>ls

Umm,... need to install something?

[wasnotrice]

@ashbb Thanks for trying out packaging on Windows!

Wow, my app was run! I could see hello shoes 4!! on my app window!

Awesome! Except -p is just supposed to package, not to run the app :P

I couldn't find c:\tmp\pkg\test1.app. There was no c:\tmp\pkg directory.

Found pkg/Shoes App.app. In my case, the full path is C:\jruby\bin\pkg\Shoes App.app.

You were right to expect the .jar and the .app to be in c:\tmp\pkg. This is the right place to look. On OS X, this is where the packages are created. The pkg dir should be relative to test1.rb, but it looks like it was created relative to jruby. This is either a problem with the packaging classes, or possibly with the snippet you are using to run the CLI. Can you run the specs and see if they also have the same problem? There should be failures in the jar and app specs if the directory is created in the wrong place.

Okay then, I think C:\jruby\bin\pkg\Shoes App.app\Contents\Java\shoesapp.jar is the packaged file. Right?

Right!

If so, how to execute the shoesapp.jar file?

Just as you did. I know this error :)

There is a bug in the Swt gem where those JFace libs will get loaded if the gem is installed normally, but will fail if the gem is bundled within a .jar. It's because jar paths contain a !, as you can see in your stacktrace. I fixed the bug on my OS X with this monkeypatch. The monkeypatch is supposed to be loaded here, but maybe it's not being loaded correctly, or maybe the monkeypatch needs to be improved ;)

[ashbb]

I tried from scratch. :)

• cd c:\tmp
• git clone git://github.com/wasnotrice/shoes4.git
• cd shoes4
• git checkout -b pkg remotes/origin/pkg
• Save this snippet as c:\tmp\shoes4\bin\shoes.bat

call jruby --1.9 -e "$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.expand_path('../lib', __FILE__); require 'shoes/cli'; Shoes::CLI.new.run(['%3', '%1', '%2', '%3'])"

• Replace the code in c:\tmp\shoes4\lib\swt\full-monkeypatch.rb

module JFace
  path = case Config::CONFIG["host_os"]
    when /windows|mswin/i
      "../../../../swt-*/vendor/jface/*.jar"
    else
      "../../../vendor/jface/*.jar"
    end

  Dir[File.expand_path path, __FILE__].each do |jar_fn|
    require jar_fn
  end
end

• Comment out line 16 in c:\tmp\shoes4\lib\shoes\swt\app.rb

#shell.set_image ::Swt::Graphics::Image.new(::Swt.display, SHOES_ICON)

• jruby --1.9 -S rake gem
• jruby --1.9 -S gem install pkg\shoes-4.0.0.pre1
• cd c:\tmp
• mkdir hello
• Save my app snippet as c:\tmp\hello\hello.rb

Shoes.app do
  para 'hello shoes 4!!'
end

• cd c:\jruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\shoes-4.0.0.pre1
• bin\shoes.bat -p swt:app c:\tmp\hello\hello.rb
• Close my app window by hand. I got c:\tmp\hello\pkg directory. Yay!
• cd "c:\tmp\hello\pkg\Shoes App.app\Contents\Java"
• java -Djruby.compat.version=1.9 -jar shoesapp.jar

Finaly, my app was launched from in the shoesapp.jar. :)

But there is still one problem. In the above steps, I commented out line 16 in c:\tmp\shoes4\lib\shoes\swt\app.rb. So, SHOES_ICON isn't set on my app window. :(

If I didn't comment out the line 16, I got the following error messages when I run the shoesapp.jar.

@ashbb Thanks for working on this! Would you please give me a link to your Shoes App.app so I can see if it runs on OS X?

Finaly, my app was launched from in the shoesapp.jar. :)

Awesome!

But there is still one problem. In the above steps, I commented out line 16 in c:\tmp\shoes4\lib\shoes\swt\app.rb. So, SHOES_ICON isn't set on my app window. :(

OK. This looks like a problem with ".." in .jar paths on Windows, maybe. I wonder if Pathname#cleanpath would fix that?

But there is another problem with this line. The app.yaml lets you add a custom icon (see spec/test_app/img). In the .app, this gets set as the application icon. Great. But when you launch the app, this line that you commented out _overwrites the icon_, changing it back to the Shoes icon. This line works well for running an app that doesn't have its own icon, but not well for running a packaged app that does have its own icon :( So we need to change this line somehow anyway.

@wasnotrice

Download from here, please. :)

[wasnotrice]

@ashbb it works! Hooray! I have now run Shoes App.apps created on OS X, Windows, and Linux!


there is a small problem with the new application security features in OS X 10.8. By default, applications only run if they have been signed by a developer's key. Otherwise, you get this:

This is fine, of course, because you can change that preference, but it's a hassle. I'll have to see if we can allow developers to sign their apps if they have a key from Apple. Then at least some apps wouldn't raise that warning.

[pjfitzgibbons]

Can we possibly get a developer key as "Shoes Project" or something? The
app can use it in the self-publishing mode?
