Testing and Deployment

[Liste]

Hello!

I am working on an app for BlackBerry Playbook with WebWorks.  When I try to package it I get the error in the subject (Oh Snap! Build request failed with message: error).  There is no more information.  I have googled, but cannot find anyone else with this peculiar problem.

Is there a log somewhere that I can read to see what's happening?  Has anyone else experienced this?

Thank you for any help!

Oh, I nearly forgot.  When I go into the Output Folder, the .zip file is there, but not the .bar file.

Sorry.  I found my mistake: I had some extra stuff in my config.xml file that shouldn't have been there.

I'm looking forward to getting to know this BlackBerry world better!

All right,

I thought I had it solved the other day, but I don't.  I just tried with the exact files from here: https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/html5/documentation/ww_getting_started/creating_an_app_1885567_1... but with no success.  I don't understand what is going on.  I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Ripple and Webworks for tablet.

Has anyone else had this problem?  Where can I look for logs?

Edit: One more thing: Ripple is crashing regularly on startup, giving me the "zombie" message.  Even if I tell it to wait longer, it will continue to refuse to run.  In the end I have to reset all my settings, and this can get long.  Are the problems related?

OK.  I have finally found the command-line code for compiling applications.  Here it is for others and future reference: First move to the location of the bbwp directory, then run the bbwp command.

cd "C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry WebWorks SDK for TabletOS <version #>\bbwp"

bbwp "C:\myapp.zip"

Here's the link where I got the information from: https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/html5/downloads/sdk, and click "How to get up and running".

For those looking to sign their application from the terminal, it is also possible.  First set up your computer, as indicated here: https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/html5/documentation/ww_publishing/signing_setup_tablet_apps_1920...

Next Move to the same "bbwp" directory as we did above.  Finally, run this command:

bbwp <archive_file> -g <KeystorePassword> -buildId <num> -o <output_location>

This information can be found here: https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/html5/documentation/ww_publishing/signing_your_tablet_app_191966...

Sorry for writing this out when it is already available elsewhere on the web, but I feel like I should post the full answer for those who stumble upon this message later.  I hope it can help someone who has the same problem as me.
