Henry, I did find out what was causing the error, but I felt a little silly about reporting it.
It turned out the the "WEB-INF/framewords" directory was missing from my Laszlo webapp environment. When I reproduced this missing directory in my command-line (lzc) environment, I saw the message: Stray error string from external compiler: command line: Error: unable to open '/../openlaszlo-4.7.3/WEB-INF/frameworks/flex-config.xml' So my situation is not really reproducible for a unit test. I had a corrupted install, which probably doesn't happen often. However, I suppose it's possible that someday, someone may have a path issue or something that will lead to the flex compiler not being able to be run, and they'll see the mysterious "Errors from compiler" message. Getting the "Stray error from external compiler" message into the servlet error message would have been very helpful and started me looking in the right direction faster than the generic "Errors from compiler" did. Hope this is useful! --Michael On 7/19/2010 2:59 PM, Henry Minsky wrote: > Michael, > > Did you ever find a small test case for this problem, where the LPS > server does not > give you any details of the compilation error? > > Thanks, > > Henry > > On Thu, Jul 8, 2010 at 1:01 PM, Michael Brady <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Hi All, > > I have a simple .lzx file.
