I have recently been working on migrating a qooxdoo 0.7 web application to the 0.8 framework. I've reached the point where I have most of the components transferred using an 0.8 sandbox, and I wanted to convert the main application. I've been reading a lot about the new build system, but I can't seem to get it to do what I want it to do. I expect that I'm missing something simple, and someone who knows the system better than I do can answer these questions very quickly. At the moment, I feel like there's a gap in the documentation specifically in this wiki page: http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.8/migration_makefile It is linked to from the 0.7 migration guide, but the page is currently empty. I'm specifically interested in how to migrate the old makefile settings APPLICATION_BUILD_PATH, APPLICATION_SOURCE_PATH, APPLICATION_HTML_TO_ROOT_URI, and APPLICATION_PUBLISH_PATH. I think I have found these settings referenced on this page: http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.8/generator_config_ref
I suspect that I am specifying these settings properly (from the old makefile), but in the wrong node or level in the JSON. It isn't clear to me from the examples in the config key reference listing where these settings should sit in the JSON object to be processed. When I run the generate script, it always produces the same output, even when I put intentionally wrong data into the settings. Is it possible to have the generate script give me a warning when it detects a JSON property that is not going to affect the resulting build? If I had that feedback, I would at least know that I had put my settings in the wrong place, rather than a silent error. I'm sorry if I'm missing something obvious here, but I've spent a lot of time looking over the config key reference and the generator config file wiki pages, and I just don't grok the new system. I can certainly provide specifics about where the files exist if anyone is interested.
