Changes to source code not used in build.

Hi,

When I change the Alfresco source code, and then rebuild alfresco, the old alfresco code is used in the build, rather than the changes I made.

I tried to change the code in the file simple-title.get.html.ftl from

<div class="page-title theme-bg-color-1 theme-border-1">
   <h1 class="theme-color-3"><span>${msg(args.title)}</span> <#if args.subtitle?? && msg(args.subtitle) != args.subtitle>${msg(args.subtitle)}</#if></h1>
</div>‍‍‍

<div class="page-title theme-bg-color-1 theme-border-1">
   <h1 class="theme-color-3"><span>Jeremy</span> <#if args.subtitle?? && msg(args.subtitle) != args.subtitle>${msg(args.subtitle)}</#if></h1>
</div>‍‍‍

However, after the build is completed, the former code is getting used. I know that the initial code gets used because after the build I opened the simple-title.get.html.ftl from Tomcat (i.e. in apache-tomcat-6.0.29/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/title) and it has the old code.

I think the problem might have something to do with svn.

Thanks.

Please detail exactly what steps you take from editing, through build and deployment.

Thanks,

Hi,

To edit the file simple-title.get.html.ftl I open it from the file system (C:\Alfresco\projects\slingshot\config\alfresco\site-webscripts\org\alfresco\components\title). It opens in a program called Notepad++.
I make the required changes, and save the file. To save the file I press the control key and s. I know it saves because when i close this file, and then reopen the file, it has my changes.

Next, in Netbeans, I have the file c:\Alfresco\build.xml open. In the navigator panel in NetBeans, I right click on the 'build-tomcat' option, and select 'Run Target'. NetBeans then does a successful build.

For some reason share.war (produced from the build) gets copied to a folder in c:\Alfresco so I manually copy it from here to the webapps folder in the Tomcat installation.
The file alfresco.war is where is should be (i.e. in the webapps folder of the Tomcat installation).

I then start Tomcat and wait for around 1-2 minutes.

Then I navigate to localhost:8080/share using Mozilla, and login. I navigate to the repository to see if the text "Repository Browser" has changed in accordance with my changes to simple-title.get.html.ftl. The text is unchanged.

I then check the simple-title.get.html.ftl in the tomcat installation (apache-tomcat-6.0.29\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\site-webscripts\org\alfresco\components\title) and it does not have the changes I made.

Thanks.

Are you sure the share.war is getting redeployed by Tomcat? Try manually deleting the webapps/share folder.

Thanks.

The problem is that when I do a re-build, the Share folder in Tomcat's webapps directory does not get deleted, but the Alfresco folder does.

Do you know how I can fix this, i.e. make a change so that the Share folder in the Tomcat installation does get deleted during a build ?

Make sure the APP_TOMCAT_HOME environment variable is set to the same value as TOMCAT_HOME.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks, that worked.

After I make a change to the source code, such as the change I described above (i.e. changing the file simple-title.get.html.ftl), I then rebuild Alfresco to see if my change to the code works as I expect.

Rebuilding Alfresco normally takes anywhere between 5 and 20 minutes.

Is there a quicker way of building Alfresco, so that I can test my code changes more quickly ?

Thanks.

mikeh

You're only changing share, so just rebuild the slingshot project.
