Re: Flex Installer - Air 29 - OSMF Fail (Windows)

[Erik J. Thomas]

Hey Jeff:

Sorry, didn't mean to insult. My bad. Just that you led with...

"At my organization, we've used Flex for probably 10 years now and we have what 
I think may be one of the largest Flex codebases (over 200k lines of source)." 
If it quacks like a duck... LOL.

But I see your type of question come up over and over as so many people are 
trying to use antiquated tools when a day or two of investment will solve a 
multitude of problems for you. It's indeed hard to replace mainframe legacy 
systems, but it's a tiny business investment to fix this particular instance.

Best regards,

Erik

I continue to be amazed that any serious software development company would 
choose to use a development IDE that was released in 2011 and has not been 
updated since 4.7 in 2012. It's a poor business decision, plain and simple, 
IMHO.

A few years ago, after extensive research and frustration with FlashBuilder, 
our team switched to IntelliJ IDEA. We have never looked back.

Sure it's not free, but neither was FlashBuilder, and saving $200/yr per person 
to work with crap tools just doesn't make any business sense.

Take the plunge, it will take your developers a few days, maybe a week to be up 
to full velocity again, but that cost will be recouped in a month or two as 
your overall development velocity will improve with so many modern tools packed 
into IntelliJ. Upgrading AIR/Flex SDKs is also a breeze in comparison.

I have no stake in JetBrains, and have no reason to endorse their product 
except that it rocks, as does their support. But if you choose to stay with 
FlashBuilder, be sure to never upgrade your iPhone 4 or Blackberry. LOL

Jeff,

There are two actively developed IDEs. Visual Studio Code + Plugin [1] and
Moonshine IDE [2]. Both worth to check. If you have any problems with them
- feel free raise an issue on GitHub.

[1] https://nextgenactionscript.com/
[2] http://moonshine-ide.com/

Thanks,

Re: Flex Installer - Air 29 - OSMF Fail (Windows)

[Jeff Dafoe]

Hi Piotr,

I didn't mean to direct any ire to the team, I do know it's volunteer-only and 
believe me, I appreciate your offer to look at the installer.  I'm also very 
thankful for the work that the open source community has done to help the Flex 
SDK stay alive.  I'm also watching the Royale project advances and it's 
impressive.  My mood was more directed at Adobe (who isn't even here, so that 
was pointless of me) concerning the deactivation of all Flash Builder 4.6 
licenses.

I guess a more productive thing for me to ask is what development tooling is 
used aside from Flash Builder?  I understand you can edit the source with any 
text editor and build via command-line, is that what most people do these days? 
 We've always used FB and the integrated build and debug.  I've seen a couple 
of IDEs here and there but I haven't really been able to tell if any tool or 
process has become standardized.  We're entirely on Windows (for dev) here.

Thank you,
-Jeff

Re: Flex Installer - Air 29 - OSMF Fail (Windows)

[Piotr Zarzycki]

Hi Jeff,

We are all volunteers, so fixing things does require some time. I'm working
on that and hope to find out some solution. If not I will probably post
some finding on Development list. Will see what happen after brainstorming.

Thanks for the input,
Piotr

Re: Flex Installer - Air 29 - OSMF Fail (Windows)

[Jeff Dafoe]

At my organization, we've used Flex for probably 10 years now and we have what 
I think may be one of the largest Flex codebases (over 200k lines of source).  
We went to onboard a new developer last week and it was quite a disappointment 
for me.  Flex Builder 4.6 will no longer install, Adobe has turned off the 
license servers so you have to route them to 127.0.0.1 in your hosts file 
(which our admins, also in charge of software licensing, were not thrilled 
with).  This issue took us 3 days to troubleshoot before we finally came across 
the thread in the Adobe forum (one of our sysadmins is the guy who posted the 
hosts file solution, they were using the Win firewall prior to that but that's 
not an option for us).  Then the SDK installer fails on the OSMF installation.  
It was very disheartening and really didn't impress the new dev.

Hi - I'm trying to use the latest SDK installer to install Flex/Air29 on

The installer downloads the Flex SDK and Air SDK and unpacks them, but then

Any ideas?

Re: Flex Installer - Air 29 - OSMF Fail (Windows)

[Alex Harui]

OSMF is used for the Video components.  We can make it optional, but IMO,
that wouldn't solve the problem.  When folks accept the option to install
OSMF it will likely fail the same way.

IIRC, we've fixed this at least once already.  SourceForge seems to change
the rules on who can fetch a download for security reasons and it breaks
the AntOnAIR code.  Apparently it does not break Apache Ant.

Re: Flex Installer - Air 29 - OSMF Fail (Windows)

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

Can we make the OSMF.swc file optional?  Do we really need this in the SDK?

Thanks,

Re: Flex Installer - Air 29 - OSMF Fail (Windows)

[Alex Harui]

If we (the Flex PMC) decide we want to request Adobe to host the files
somewhere else, I will look into it.  No guarantees though.

Re: Flex Installer - Air 29 - OSMF Fail (Windows)

[Alex Harui]

IMO, there are several possible solutions:

1) Find a fix in the installer
2) Find out if SourceForge can fix it for us.
3) Try to get Adobe to host the OSMF files somewhere else
4) See if Adobe has any objections to someone else hosting the OSMF files
somewhere else.

I believe we can redirect where the install script looks for OSMF for #2,
#3, or #4 and not require a new release of the Installer or SDK so it
might be less work to explore one of those 3 options.

Re: Flex Installer - Air 29 - OSMF Fail (Windows)

[Piotr Zarzycki]

Exactly. In this thread you have alternate instruction how to download SDK.

There is also a chance that I soon will be working in fixing that stuff in
installer - At least for Windows.

I see that on Mac it almost doesn't occur. Am I right?

Carlos can you try on your Mac download SDK 4.16.1 and Adobe Air 29 using
installer?

Thanks,
Piotr

Hi Piotr,

I can confirm 4.16.1 Windows ANT installer has been fixed and works. (it was

Hi Piotr,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have used ant before - but just so you know - the installer.xml script
does NOT work on Windows either.

See the 5:31am post here by Alex for the work around that must be used:

Re: Flex Installer - Air 29 - OSMF Fail (Windows)

[Piotr Zarzycki]

Hi,

I'm not sure when I found the time to look into that, but you can download
SDK with Adobe Air in a different way. Here is the steps:


   1. Download SDK from here [1]
   2. Install Apache Ant [2]
   3. Unpack SDK and run ant command in the SDK folder ant -f installer.xml
   -Dair.sdk.version=29.0 -Dflash.sdk.version=29.0


It will probably ask you couple of question, so answer yes.

Let me know if it helped. :)

Thanks,
Piotr
