how do I use the component-library-and-project sample?

[ZeeD]

I'm trying the demos in this project and I'm stuck with component-library-and-project.
I see there are two bs project; complib and app.
I cloned the repo on my machine, entered in complib folder and successfully run bsc that created complib/out/complib.zip.
Now I want to "use" this library in app.
Running bsc inside app just return errors.
On

sample-projects/component-library-and-project/app/manifest

Line 10 in de0ade9

complib_url=http://192.168.1.22:8080/complib.zip

I see that it expect to download complib.zip from http.
I changed to point to localhost and started a webserver locally (just python3 -mhttp.server in the complib/out folder). I can succesfully download the .zip file from firefox.
Still, I have errors running bsc:

what I'm missing?

[ZeeD]

wait.
Maybe I misunderstood the problem. Could just be a bug in app?

sample-projects/component-library-and-project/app/components/MainScene.brs

Lines 26 to 28 in de0ade9

	m.dialog = createObject("roSGNode", "Dialog")
	'show a popup explaining that the complib failed to load
	dialog.update({

should dialog actually be m.dialog?

You're right, that's a bug in the code, it should be m.dialog. However, that shouldn't stop the project from working.

One of the major points of this sample is actually to show you you can do component library launching and debugging using just the built-in vscode extension tools. You shouldn't need to spin up your own component library http server as the BrightScript vscode extension will do that for you.

I'm adding some instructions for this sample right now, I'll comment again when it's ready.

Ok, I've added some instructions here. Give them a try, let me know if you have any more questions. :)
