This page describes the jobs that are automatically available to all skeleton-based applications (particularly, applications with config.json files that include the framework's application.json config file). Mainly this is just a reference list with short descriptions of what the jobs do. But in some cases, there is comprehensive documentation about the interface of this job and how it can be parameterized.

These jobs can be invoked with the generator, e.g. as generate.py <jobname>.

Create api doc for the current library. Use the following macros to tailor the scope of classes that are going to show up in the customized apiviewer application:

API_INCLUDE = [<class_patt1>, <class_patt2>, ...]
API_EXCLUDE = [<class_patt1>, <class_patt2>, ...]

The syntax for the class pattern is like those for the include config key.

Create build version of current application.

Remove local cache and generated .js files (source/build).

Remove the cache and all generated artefacts of this library (source, build, …).

Normalize whitespace in .js files of the current library (tabs, eol, …).

Create an instance of the Inspector in the current application. The inspector is a debugging tool that allows you to inspect your custom application while running. You need to run the source job first, the run the inspector job. You will then be able to open the file source/inspector.html in your browser. The source version of your application will be loaded into the inspector automatically.

Check the source code of the .js files of the current library.

Migrate the .js files of the current library to the current qooxdoo version.

Pretty-formatting of the source code of the current library.

Create source version of current application.

Create source version of current application, with all classes.

Create a test runner app for unit tests of the current library. Use the following macro to tailor the scope of classes in which unit test classes are searched for:

TEST_INCLUDE = [<class_patt1>, <class_patt2>, ...]

The syntax for the class pattern is like those for the include config key.

Create a test runner app for unit tests (source version) of the current library.

Create an inline test runner app for unit tests of the current library.

Create a native test runner app for unit tests of the current library.

Create .po files for current library.

These jobs don't do anything sensible on their own, so it is no use to invoke them with the generator. But they can be used in the application's config.json, to modify the behaviour of other jobs, as they pick up their definitions.

Common includer job for many default jobs, mostly used internally. You should usually not need to use it; if you do, use with care.

This job should take a single key, library. Here, you can add additional libraries and/or contributions you want to use in your application. See the linked reference for more information on the library key.

Includer job, to activate profiling.
