Rush • A new and improved way of building extensions

I had also faced this issue. Just re-compile the extension. At the time of compiling this extension there was one warning in console. "no blocks annotations " Something like this, I haven’t remembered the warning text

A warning text :

 PS C:\Users\amd\Downloads\get-pkg> rush build
                      __
     _______  _______/ /_
    / ___/ / / / ___/ __ \
   / /  / /_/ (__  / / / /
  /_/   \__,_/____/_/ /_/

Just re-compile the aix file it’ll fixes the issue, As I already said above

Compiling two extensions in one will be possible with the next version, which I hope to release by the end of this month. Stay tuned.

Rush • A new and improved way of building extensions

To add an external library (JAR) to your extension, Download your desired JAR from the internet. Then, copy it into the deps directory. Finally, in rush.yml, add a new entry, with the exact same name of your JAR file which you copied into the deps directory, to the deps field. For example:deps: - my-library.jar

[Shreyash (Shreyash Saitwal)]

Status update – I’ve officially restarted working on Rush. The next release will ship with a bunch of new exciting features like automatic dependency resolution and support for multi-component extensions among others.

There’s no concrete ETA because it’s been months since I last touched the codebase, but I hope to get this release ready for beta testing by the end of this month. Stay tuned!

Feature request - Please add helper block feature using @Options and @OptionList annotations

[Taifun]

@JEWEL

Please add helper block feature using @Options and @OptionList annotations

@Shreyash what needs to be done to add these, see also

Need help to adding helper or drop down blocks in extension

Taifun

[zainulhassan]

Thats pretty cool. I would recommend using mason for generating project template. This way you would be able to separate template logic.

[Shreyash (Shreyash Saitwal)]

@Taifun

what needs to be done to add these

Rush does not support the helper blocks as of now. I haven’t started working on it yet since there’s already a lot on my plate, but they will be available as a part of the next release. If someone’s willing to contribute I’d really appreciate that.

[mahmoud_hooda (AEMO)]

Hello @Taifun
Like i told before rush doesn’t support that , there are problem to import this

import com.google.appinventor.components.common.OptionList;
import com.google.appinventor.components.common.Default;

[mahmoud_hooda (AEMO)]

@Shreyash

since there’s already a lot on my plate

We appreciate your effort, keep it up

Hi, I am new to extension creation.
I am facing a problem when I try to build it.
Here the error

Here Other things

NOTE: I’m using VS code.
Please help me to solve it
Thank you

[Shreyash (Shreyash Saitwal)]

You have whitespace in your PC’s default username (IT SPACE) and Rush doesn’t quite get along with spaces in file paths. However, you can fix this yourself, read the below post:

Rush Build failed with internal error

Your %USERPROFILE% seems to have a whitespace in it. Do this: Copy/Move everything inside the %APPDATA%/rush directory to a place whose path has no whitespace, say, C:/rush . Then, create the RUSH_DATA_DIR environment variable and set its value equal to the path of the previous directory, in this case C:/rush. Build your extension with rush build .

[Shreyash (Shreyash Saitwal)]

@RDR_SA

NOTE: I’m using VS code.

This isn’t related to your issue but I’d suggest you use IntelliJ IDEA. VS Code fails to index extension libraries in Rush projects, bombarding you with all sorts of false errors. I want to fix this in a future update, but for now, it’s best to use IntelliJ (or Android Studio).

[RDR_SA]

After following this guide I have another issue.

[RDR_SA]

@Shreyash

it’s best to use IntelliJ (or Android Studio).

I already have android studio but I don’t know how to use rush on it.

[Shreyash (Shreyash Saitwal)]

You have JDK 18 on your PATH. Remove it, install JDK 8, and change JDK_HOME env var.
