In mobl-templatelang, I find that often (not always) a clean build (after purging .cache, .spxcache, .spxindex, .shadowdir) fails until I’ve opened editor-common.generated.spx once.

The error is that the parse-file strategy is undefined, while it is clearly defined in editor-common.generated.spx. Never happened on any other file. After opening the file the error disappears and the project can be built.

(The mobl-templatelang project can be found here: https://github.com/tvo/mobl/tree/mobltemplatelang-lean)

Unfortunately this still happens, in particular I got it a few times with spoofax-contrib/EntityTemplateLang.

Now I was able to capture the actual error message, it is:

Error during Compilation. Build Failed. Please fix the errors first.

Indeed! I can also reproduce this issue with the incremental build. However, it has already been fixed in the adil-thesis-demo branch. I need to merge the changes back to fix it in the trunk version.

Please use the ant target “build-clean” till I merge the changes back to the trunk.
