Can't set main package

Hi, I’ve a project where my uniquely mentioned source file in asconfig.json defines the main class in a named package.

package com.hydroper.dsterminal
{
  public class TmView extends Sprite implements IView
  {
    /* ... */
  }
}

So, building the project as follows:

• Goto Run build task & ActionScript: compile debug build.

Just fails with the message:

Error: Unable to resolve root class of SWF: TmView

The project (FlashDevelop version) already built fine. So I wonder if it’s right now possible to set the main package w/ AS & MXML? I read the entire asconfig.json wiki, btw, but most related options serve only for setting library and source paths, andn’t the main namespace. Including classes won’t work, either (totally unrelated to “files”: […]).

Truth

I forgot I could use the source-path option. It just made my build.

{
  /* ... */

  "compilerOptions": {
    "source-path": [ "src" ],
    "output": ".build/target/terminal.swf"
  },

  /* ... */
}

Some more info about your folder structure would be helpful. Is everything under a main src folder? Or is platforms a sibling of src? Does either of the classes have a package?

Ultimately, you’ll need exactly one entry in files, but you may need one or two entries in source-path too. What goes in source-path depends on your folder structure.

As I mentioned, files should almost always contain one file. In your case, for iOS, you’ll want this:

"files": [
    "platforms/iOS/MainiOS.as"
]

Then, since you have multiple source paths, you’ll want source-path to look like this:

"source-path": [
    "platforms/iOS",
    "."
]

However, I would recommend moving your core classes into a src folder, that is a sibling of platforms. Right now, you have two overlapping source paths (platforms/iOS is inside .), which could lead to unexpected issues (potentially including IDEs, or even the compiler, getting confused).
