Telerik's AppBuilder not grouping files

I am using the AppBuilder to create a NativeScript app. I am at the point that I need to start looking into environment settings to get the app ready for QA and production.

I followed the article: http://docs.telerik.com/platform/appbuilder/nativescript/build-configurations/application-settings in order to set the config.js file I have that contains some configuration information. I created config.debug.js and config.release.js but Visual Studio only added the debug version under the config.js file group.

So, when I build in Debug mode, the app picks up config.debug.js and everything is fine. When I try to build in release mode, the app crashes because it cannot find config.js. Attached is a screenshot that shows how Visual Studio sets the files.

enter image description here

It seems to me that since the release version is not included in the file group nativescript does not recognize it during the build.

I am using Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise. App Builder 2017.1.202.9

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Solution

  • As suggested by Preslav from Telerik, I deleted the .debug.abproject from the root of my application and also removed the reference to it in MyProject.iceproj.

    Once this was done, I was able to create the .debug.js and .release.js files without any further issues.
