Today I tried Build HTML on Defold 1.7.0 and it raised this error

com.defold.extender.ExtenderException: Error in 'websocket/ext.manifest': Invalid flag - 'linkFlags': '-lwebsocket.js'

I didn’t see this error on 1.6.x

What is your websocket extension version? Releases · defold/extension-websocket · GitHub

#3

It’s the latest, I think so
“https://github.com/defold/extension-websocket/archive/master.zip”

It seems the extension has been updated recently. That may the cause.

#4

Yes, t was update to be comparable with Defold 1.8.0 so you can’t use it with older Defold version.

Ok, I’ll try a older version then

#6

Now I use this “https://github.com/defold/extension-websocket/archive/refs/tags/3.2.0.zip” but there’s another error

em++: error: '/opt/platformsdk/emsdk-2.0.11/node/12.18.1_64bit/bin/node /opt/platformsdk/emsdk-2.0.11/upstream/emscripten/src/compiler.js /tmp/tmp6a32mvjy.txt' failed (1)

I don’t know if it’s still related to websocket extension or any others

#7

Which version of Defold and which build server are you using?

#8

I’m using Defold 1.7.0 on Windows and default build server of the editor (I dont know what it is)

There’s only an error in the previous my reply

#9

This error is related to these 3 extensions which has been updated recently for Defold 1.8.0 compatible

I think I should have habit of using release tags rather than archive/master.zip from now :slight_smile:
But do we have any informs which extensions need to change version when upgrading to Defold 1.8.0?

If a Defold version requires updates to extensions we try to do it ahead of time, and release the new extensions with a not such as “Updated to support Defold x.y.z”. Example:

If you rely on certain extensions I recommend that you 1) depend on a specific version and not master/main and 2) that you watch those repositories for updates (About notifications - GitHub Docs)

For me, it’s ok but it would be great if we have a way to detect and inform which well-known extensions is not compatible or showing warnings for the current upgraded version. For example adding version to ext.manifest could help :smiley:
