Native extension doesn't work when build game using bob.jar [SOLVED]

Bugs

When I make a bundle using editor2 - all works fine.
I check it using _G.unityads in DefCon.

But when I made build using bob.jar _G.unityads is nil. But apk size looks like it include my NE.

I am using last version of bob.jar (1.2.103).

My sh file:

#!/bin/bash
title=$(less game.project | grep "^title = " | cut -d "=" -f2 | sed -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//')
title_no_space=$(echo "${title}" | tr -d '[[:space:]]')

echo "Project: ${title}"

if [ ! -f bob.jar ]
	then
		echo "Unable to find bob.jar. Download it from d.defold.com."
		exit 1
fi

bob() {
	java -jar bob.jar $@
}

bundle() {
	platform=$1
	echo "${platform}"
	shift 1
	bob --platform ${platform} --bundle-output build/${platform} $@ bundle --debug
}

archive() {
	platform=$1
	if [ "${platform}" == "armv7-android" ]
		then
			echo "${title_no_space}.apk"
			mv "build/${platform}/${title}/${title}.apk" "${title_no_space}.apk"
	elif [ "${platform}" == "armv7-darwin" ]
		then
			echo "${title_no_space}.ipa"
			mv "build/${platform}/${title}.ipa" "${title_no_space}.ipa"
	else
		echo "${title_no_space}_${platform}.zip"
		rm -rf "${title_no_space}_${platform}.zip"
		cd build/${platform}
		zip -r -q "../../${title_no_space}_${platform}.zip" *
		cd ../..
	fi
}

deploy(){
	if [ "${platform}" == "armv7-darwin" ]
		then
		echo "${title_no_space}.ipa"
		ipa-deploy "build/${platform}/${title}.ipa"
	elif [ "${platform}" == "armv7-android" ]
		then
		echo "${title_no_space}.apk"
		adb install -r "build/${platform}/${title}/${title}.apk"
	fi
}

#bob --email john.smith@acme.com --auth foobar resolve

I havenā€™t heard of any issues, but to be honest I havenā€™t tried myself either. I took a look at the code and bob should be supporting native extensions. Thereā€™s a couple of new options to bob that arenā€™t in the documentation (@sicher, Iā€™ve reported an issue regarding this):

  • build-server - ā€œThe build server (when using native extensions)ā€ (Defaults to https://build.defold.com)
  • defoldsdk - ā€œWhat version of the defold sdk (sha1) to useā€ (defaults to same version as bob)
  • binary-output - ā€œLocation where built engine binary will be placedā€ (Defaults to ā€˜<build-output>/<platform>/ā€™)

What if you enter a bogus value for build-server (like https://foobar.com). Does the build fail?

Is your extension part of the project or pulled in as a library dependency?

Extension is part of project (itā€™s a project where I making an extension)

I tried to add build parameter:

bob --archive build --build-server ā€œhttps://foobar.comā€

and bundle

bob --platform ${platform} --bundle-output build/${platform} $@ bundle --debug --build-server ā€œhttps://foobar.comā€

I have no error when app builds.

Project with errors in Native Extension source code is building with bob.jar.

Ok, it seems to be ignoring native extensions completely. Iā€™ll give this a try on Monday (at company kickoff now). Or maybe @sicher can assist tomorrow?

Hmm, I just tried this and it worked for me (Using the example extension-android):

> java -jar ~/bob.jar --platform armv7-android --archive build
> java -jar ~/bob.jar --platform armv7-android bundle

Could it be that bob isnā€™t the latest version?

Iā€™m sure that is the last version.

But it works with your parameters.

Looks like an issue with this line in bundle.sh by @britzl :

And more specifically with $@ bundle --debug

I tried to replace :

with

bob --platform ${platform} --bundle-output build/${platform} --archive build
bob --platform ${platform} --bundle-output build/${platform} bundle --debug

and all works fine.

My version of bundle.sh with deploy for android and ios is here
