I assume your modified config.json looked like this:
{
"include" : [
{
"path" : "config-original.json"
}
],
"let" : {
"QOOXDOO_PATH" : "your/qooxdoo/path"
}
}
right?! Your intuition was quite right, and this probably would work
with any macro *other* than QOOXDOO_PATH :). The reason for this is
that QOOXDOO_PATH is used to find other include files, i.e. when you
look in your config-original.json, you'll find an "include" section
with a line like '"path" :
"${QOOXDOO_PATH}/tool/data/config/application.json"'. But the macros
used in the top-level "include" section have to be defined *locally*
in the same config file. (This is due to the depth-first recursion of
the "include" processing; your config.json is basically saying to
config-original.json "do your includes first, then I include you", so
config-original.json has only local knowledge to do its includes).
So the error you should have reported for the above scenario should be
something like "No such file or directory:
u'.../${QOOXDOO_PATH}/tool/data/config/application.json'"

There is: You can give a macro a value on the command line:
generate.py -m QOOXDOO_PATH:your/qooxdoo/path ...
You might need to apply proper quoting to the cl args, depending on
the shell you are using.
