deploying an application

Experts would provide a better answer but requiring amber.js is just the tip of the iceberg (basically it sets up a JS environment which then loads all things required to run Smalltalk/JS). If you open a web inspector on your page, you will see that your page requires a lot more js files (one per package) but they are missing on the server (strangely, not all are missing).

So to deploy, you also have to copy all required javascript files on the server: Amber packages + your own packages

I guess what this means is that a deployment task is missing: one which would produce a single minified js file with all the requirements. Otherwise I can't tell easily tell what is required between deploy: true and deploy: false.

Yes. But Nicolas said I just need to change the script tag and add deploy: true.

Hi!

I feel I am bumping into a problem that my lack of knowledge in the field has created.

Basically, I don't understand how to deploy an application.

Consider the hello application contained in the distribution: http://amber-lang.net/documentation.html#A-first-application

How can I deploy it? The tutorial does not say much about this important step.

Simply changing:

<script src="../../js/amber.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

...

loadAmber({

   files: ['HelloApp.js'],

   prefix: 'projects/hello/js', // path for js files i think

   ready: function() {

     $(function() {

       smalltalk.Hello._new()._begin();

     });

}});

...

for:

<script src="js/amber.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

...

loadAmber({

   files: ['HelloApp.js'],

   prefix: 'projects/hello/js', // path for js files i think

   ready: function() {

     $(function() {

       smalltalk.Hello._new()._begin();

     });

}, deploy: true});

...

does not seem to work. I put the "deployed" version on http://bergel.eu/hello and nothing happens when I click on the buttons.

What this "deploy: true" does exactly? How comes that changing src="../../js/amber.js" for src="js/amber.js" can make it work?

Help greatly appreciated

Cheers,

Alexandre
