Defold 1.5.0 BETA

AGulev · August 9, 2023, 10:43am

We have decided to add one more fix to the beta version. This fix will help prevent the occurrence of an “Internal Server Error” when building massive extensions, such as ADS mediations, on the extender.

Added a fix the gamepads not signalling a connected state when starting a game with the gamepads connected.

Is this affecting the stable build server too? We’re having problems building for iOS:
INFO: 'arm64-ios' could not be built. Sdk version: '3dbbf1dbebd3a8146f6a917d101882a61f56afdc’

Problems also with extender:stage channel:stable · defold/test-sdk@633ffdf · GitHub

The disk space has been increased and the server is working again.

Thanks very much!

Yes, it works! I saved the file via io.save() to “data/res.zip” and mounted it as “zip:/data/res.zip”.

And I can state that the new LiveUpdate API works much much more reliable than legacy API. That’s why I closed this issue.

So, very soon ResZip will be just an example of using LiveUpdate

P.S. It would be awesome to address this feature request - https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/6486.

Sweet!
Thanks for testing it! (and also closing an issue! )

britzl · August 10, 2023, 4:07pm

I agree. We’ll start planning for an implementation.

britzl · August 14, 2023, 7:32am

Due to the breaking changes in this beta we have decided to extend the beta for another week. The release of 1.5.0 is planned for Monday the 21st of August.

Zimba_Montagne · August 17, 2023, 7:00pm

A future improvement will be a way for developers to specify how liveupdate content is split into multiple archives when building. For now the excluded content is stored in a single archive and it is up to the developer to manually split the content into multiple archives.

Is there a guide anywhere on how to split up the files and to know what the content of the files are? For example I want to split up the zip files so that it only contains files necessary for a certain collection. How would I go about doing that?

britzl · August 18, 2023, 4:56am

No, we don’t have this right now, and it is a bit complicated. I have a pull request which will produce a resource graph when the project is built. The resource graph will help you map the hex digest file names in a live update archive to the files in your project:

When building a project using the bob.jar command line tool a resource graph in …json format will be saved as `build/default/game.graph.json`. The resource graph will list all resources included in the game archive, starting at the top level (project root) and following a parent-child hierarchy from the game.project file down through the bootstrap collection to each leaf resource. Example of a graph: ```json { "path": "/<AnonymousRoot>", "hexDigest": null, "excluded": false, "children": [ { "path": "/extra/boot.collectionc", "hexDigest": "2e22ed7a2257aad050d1ee83dabfebc971d435d9", "excluded": false, "children": [] }, { "path": "/input/game.input_bindingc", "hexDigest": "7dd4c294f4cf2003eeefae47378fb487eeba4fa2", "excluded": false, "children": [] }, { "path": "/default.gamepadsc", "hexDigest": "0c370d0af36f2aa5b69f9359e2c62b64419d49f6", "excluded": false, "children": [] }, { "path": "/builtins/render/default.display_profilesc", "hexDigest": "4187e11a10b0dd0d7f1b34d3ae3c0e9632dc69fd", "excluded": false, "children": [] } ] } ``` Fixes #7753 ## PR checklist * [ ] Code * [ ] Add engine and/or editor unit tests. * [ ] New and changed code follows the overall code style of existing code * [ ] Add comments where needed * [ ] Documentation * [ ] Make sure that API documentation is updated in code comments * [ ] Make sure that manuals are updated (in github.com/defold/doc) * [ ] Prepare pull request and affected issue for automatic release notes generator * [ ] Pull request - Write a message that explains what this pull request does.

i wanted to try Defold 1.5.0 beta and when i opened the project it took double the time to build the first time compared to 1.4.8

britzl · August 18, 2023, 9:24am

Build for which platform? You can get a build report including timings by checking the “Generate Build Report” option in the bundle dialog. Please do this using 1.4.8 and 1.5.0-beta and share the reports here.

hatim_Ourahou · August 18, 2023, 9:37am

not bundling just building to test the game but it was just a problem in my laptop i think sorry

britzl · August 18, 2023, 9:43am

Ah, I see. And are you seeing the same each time you open and build the project in 1.5.0? If you are using native extensions then these will be rebuilt the first time you open and build the project in a new version of Defold. This could explain the increased build time.

hatim_Ourahou · August 18, 2023, 10:42am

oh that explain it i am using and ads sdk so it’s a native extension

Sorry for the delay.
A new fix has been pushed to the beta and should arrive in an hour.

Thnaks. Compression worked.

Occasionally, building in editor (Mac, Apple Silicon) results in the game window briefly appearing, and this being printed to console. Running again works. This is using version b51f08bcdd5771e0a5ece807768422db0c760857

INFO:ENGINE: Loading data from: http://127.0.0.1:55820/build
WARNING:RESOURCE: No resource loaders mounted that could match uri http://127.0.0.1:55820/build

Edit: I just had a crash too. I see that extension-spine may be involved, I’ll try 2.11.2
