Hi,
I agree it is feature if you have to "./generate.py source" each time you
include a new class.
Infact its the same as compiling a C program on changing the source. Its
perfectly acceptable.
But the problem is this -
I use a new class, suppose qx.io.remote.Request("url") in my source.
The I run ./generate build, and check the index.html page in the build
directory, the error console in firefox says "qx.io undefined"
on repeated running ./generate source and ./generate build
both the source directory index.html & build directory index.html say
"qx.ioundefined"
This I suppose is a bug and supposedly occurs when the cache is outdated.
It gets resolved when I delete the cache files.
It only happens rarely, and I remain a fan of Qooxdoo :-)
I think this should be mentioned in the beginner tutorials,
because it gets a bit irritating, when it does'nt run even when the source
seems perfect.
source-all sounds good.
