It would be nice if the build system would automatically include dependencies using the @requires tag. See following e-mail discussion:
Does the @requires tag still work? I always seem to get a key error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "build.py", line 18, in ?
merged = mergejs.run(sourceDirectory, None, configFilename)
File "../tools/mergejs.py", line 193, in run
if max([order.index(rfp) for rfp in files[fp].requires] +
KeyError: 'OpenLayers/Control.js'
I started by copying lite.cfg and adding only PanZoom.js:
[first]
OpenLayers/SingleFile.js
OpenLayers.js
OpenLayers/BaseTypes.js
OpenLayers/Util.js
[last]
[include]
OpenLayers/Events.js
OpenLayers/Map.js
OpenLayers/Layer.js
OpenLayers/Layer/Grid.js
OpenLayers/Layer/HTTPRequest.js
OpenLayers/Layer/WMS.js
OpenLayers/Layer/WMS/Untiled.js
OpenLayers/Tile.js
OpenLayers/Tile/Image.js
OpenLayers/Control/PanZoom.js
[exclude]
If I add in OpenLayers/Control.js before I include PanZoom.js all is fine,
i.e. if I resolve the dependencies in the build file myself.
The dependancy resolution still requires you to include the files
yourself, it simply resoles the order they end up in the build. So, if
you want to build something which depends on Controls, you need to
include OpenLayers/Control.js -- however, it can be at the end of the
include list. Changing this behavior is an obvious feature request once
you look at it, but I'd simply never thought about it: patches
graciously accepted.
