Bug in BuildApps starting from 1.20?

CesiumJS
1

Hi cesium forum,
I have successfully built my cesium application following the build guide (https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/blob/master/Documentation/Contributors/BuildGuide/README.md) until some days ago. Then I upgraded to the last github cesium version and my Apps is no longer usable.
I have tried to build the default Cesium Viewer Application and the same error is thrown out by the Web Console.
Error: Script error for: CesiumViewerStartup
http://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#scripterrorApparently CesiumViewer.css and CesiumViewerStartup.js are no longer copied to the Build/Apps/CesiumViewer directory.

Cesium behavior has changed between releases 1.19 and 1.20

Is that supposed to happen? I have to run some new command to have Apps working?

Thanks for any help!
Chiara

Hello Chiara,

Did you pull the latest code from GitHub? I tried to reproduce this is master and found that everything worked correctly.

Hello Hannah,

my problem came up after a run clean…

Today I have started from the beginning

$ git clone GitHub - CesiumGS/cesium: An open-source JavaScript library for world-class 3D globes and maps 🌎 cesium-agi
…
$ cd cesium-agi/
$ npm install
…
$ npm run build
…
$ npm run minify
…
$ npm run buildApps
…
$ ls Build/Apps/CesiumViewer/
Assets favicon.ico Images index.html require.js web.config Widgets

``

CesiumViewerStartup.js is not in the Apps directory…
If I run “npm start” the built version give me the error

Error: Script error for: CesiumViewerStartup
Common Errors

Am I missing some step?
Best,
Chiara

Hi Chiara,

Hmm, very weird. I just ran through the exact same steps that you posted and got this:

$ ls Build/Apps/CesiumViewer/
Assets/ favicon.ico require.js Widgets/
CesiumViewer.css Images/ ThirdParty/ Workers/
CesiumViewerStartup.js index.html web.config

``

What OS do you have?

Oh also, what version of node do you have? Using an old version of node could cause problems too. We recommend using 4.0 or later.

Hello Hannah,

I’m on Fedora22, with node installed via fedora repo.
I have uninstalled the repo version and installed the 4.4.5 version from https://nodejs.org/

That fixes the problem!

Thanks a lot for your help and your time!
Best,
Chiara
