Can you have comments in the JSB2 file?

[mark.lancaster]

I'm trying to build a cut down version of the Ext All library by commenting out unwanted components in a copy of the ext.jsb2 file.

I've tried to comment out lines using // and /* */, but this results in errors when you attempt to build:

Missing value at character 26375
Failed to open project file.
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.extjs.JSBuilder2.createTempHeaderFile(JSBuilder2.java:141)
        at com.extjs.JSBuilder2.main(JSBuilder2.java:38)
Failed to create temporary header file.
....more snipped... 

Can lines be commented out, or do they have to be removed?

Are you sure? That error looks more like you only commented out a part of a section.

Hi Condor

Thanks for replying.

I'm commenting out a single line in the pkgDeps section, for example:

{
        "name": "Ext All No Core",
        "file": "ext-all-no-core.js",
        "isDebug": true,
        "includeDeps": true,
        "pkgDeps": [
            "pkgs/ext-foundation.js",
            "pkgs/cmp-foundation.js",
            "pkgs/ext-dd.js",
            "pkgs/data-foundation.js",
            "pkgs/data-json.js",
            "pkgs/data-xml.js",
            "pkgs/data-grouping.js",
            "pkgs/direct.js",
            "pkgs/resizable.js",
            "pkgs/window.js",
            "pkgs/state.js",
            "pkgs/data-list-views.js",
            "pkgs/pkg-tabs.js",
            "pkgs/pkg-buttons.js",
            "pkgs/pkg-toolbars.js",
            "pkgs/pkg-history.js",
            "pkgs/pkg-tips.js",
            "pkgs/pkg-tree.js",
            "pkgs/pkg-charts.js",
            "pkgs/pkg-menu.js",
            "pkgs/pkg-forms.js",
            "pkgs/pkg-grid-foundation.js",
            "pkgs/pkg-grid-editor.js",
            /*"pkgs/pkg-grid-property.js",*/
            "pkgs/pkg-grid-grouping.js"
        ],
        "fileIncludes": []
    }

OK, then it looks like you're correct.

The .jsb3 format will probably support remarks, because it uses javascript to parse the file.

Thanks for the info.

As a work-around I found you can use an invalid path to achieve the same result, i.e.

replace "pkgs/pkg-grid-property.js", with "ZZZpkgs/pkg-grid-property.js",

Doing this successfully builds the library.
