Hi everybody, yesterday I moved the current Javascript stuff to a plugin, and didn't notice an error that comes up on my new machine: The Javascript assets are missing. I didn't notice it yesterday, because my /sf alias in the htaccess was still there (but pointing to an 1.0 release :-)) Currently plugins will copy their assets on windows when using the plugin installation, while un *nix systems it tries a symlink. But there is no installation for core plugins. This made me come up with a new idea: We enhance the clear-cache task in a way, that it deletes the plugins asset directory in web folder and then recollects all assets from symfony core, symfony core plugins and optional plugis that are installed and copies them over.
The pros are that this would work quite easily and help my current issue, It would avoid some of the trac tickets that delt with plugin assets in windows, it would also help updating plugins that you get via svn (where the assets are a manual step at the moment) The cons are limited, at the moment I can see only backwards compatibility issues with regard to how the actual path to the JS/CSS is used in the plugins, but I guess with some deeper investigations this can be solved. A slightly less BC problematic solution would be to do that only for core plugins. The advantage of that wold be that the path is known (its the sf prefixed one) , but it looks a bit inconsistent for me. As Jonathan is currently working on the deploy task, we could try to think about implications of the old and the new behaviour for deploying. Afaik the symlink recreation on deployment was also an issue in the past. Hope you have some good inputs. @Fabien, any other idea how to solve the data directory issue for core plugins? .: Fabian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony developers" group.
