unable to launch custom brackets.exe


I have created a desktop app using brackets-shell version sprint-38. I have done the following changes.

  1. config.h -changed APP_NAME from 'Brackets' to 'MyBrackets'.
  2. appshell_config.gypi - changed appname from 'Brackets' to 'MyBrackets'.
  3. Gruntfile - changed build.name from 'Brackets' to 'MyBrackets'.

After building brackets-shell with these changes i used to get 'MyBrackets.exe'
inside brackets-shell/release folder.
while executing the exe one file chooser popup comes, and node & MyBrackets.exe processes will start in the background.
his works fine with Sprint38,But after migrating to brackets-shell tag version release-1.3 or master, this dose not work. The file chooser is not coming as well as no node process starts.
Is any thing i am missing with the latest release ?

Solution

  • Bingo!!! I got the problem. actually xcopy command is not generating properly in MyBrackets.vscsproj file. and this is well know problem i think so. To fix this problem one fix-msvc.sh file has written.

    Since brackets.vscsproj name is hardcoded here so changes is not reflecting in my MyBrackets.vscsproj
