------------------------------------
Summary: Mac Installer unable to overlay AIR v24 SDK or later
Key: FLEX-35384
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-35384
Project: Apache Flex
Issue Type: Bug
Components: InstallApacheFlex
Affects Versions: Install Apache Flex 3.3
Environment: macOS High Sierra 10.13.2, InstallApacheFlex v3.3
Reporter: Phil Haeusler
>From AIR 24 or later, it appears that the AIR SDK is not overlaid successfully
>resulting in a SDK that the installer says is packaged successfully, but it
>cannot be used with an IDE.
While i initially discovered this testing the 3.3.1 RC, I have since switched
back to the v3.3 installer and experienced the same behaviour.
In my testing I am successfully able to build the 4.13 SDK with AIR 23 and
earlier
Reading through the installer.log for the AIR 23 vs AIR 24 builds, the only
difference i can see is that from v24 onwards, the AIR SDK is downloaded as a
.dmg file rather than a .tbz2 file
i.e.
AIR 23 - Downloading Adobe AIR Runtime Kit for Mac from:
[http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/mac/download/23.0//AdobeAIRSDK.tbz2]
AIR 24 - Downloading Adobe AIR Runtime Kit for Mac from:
[http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/mac/download/24.0//AdobeAIRSDK.dmg]
This matches up with the switch in file extensions as configured in
[http://flex.apache.org/installer/sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml]
For both cases however the installer then tries to untar the downloaded AIR SDK
file, but this doesn't make sense for a .dmg file
i.e.
AIR23
air-setup-mac:
[mkdir] Created directory /Users/phil/flex413air23-2/in/airsdk
[move] Moving 1 file to
/Users/phil/flex413air23-2/in/airsdk/AdobeAIRSDK.tbz2
Finished untaring: /Users/phil/flex413air23-2/in/airsdk/AdobeAIRSDK.tar
[delete] Deleting file /Users/phil/flex413air23-2/airtar.properties
AIR24
air-setup-mac:
[mkdir] Created directory /Users/phil/flex413air24-2/in/airsdk
[move] Moving 1 file to
/Users/phil/flex413air24-2/in/airsdk/AdobeAIRSDK.dmg
Finished untaring: /Users/phil/flex413air24-2/in/airsdk/AdobeAIRSDK.dmg
[delete] Deleting file /Users/phil/flex413air24-2/airtar.properties
it appears that the installer is attempting untar the v24 AdobeAIRSDK.dmg file
rather then mounting it to extract its contents. This doesn't produce an
error, and the installer proceeds to attempt to copy files that haven't been
extracted, also without error.
This then results in the installer completing successfully, but without having
actually overlaid the AIR SDK.
