Running an app automatically in a deployment context.

[alanbourke]

I'm trying to test out how to run Lianja and start an app automatically.

So I have a very simple app with one page and custom section, a button on that and some code behind the button. All works OK in development mode.

At the prompt, in the Lianja bin folder, I'm issuing:

lianja --app impclasstest

This starts up Lianja but just displays a blank page. Can't even see the button. No errors appear to be produced. If I do:

lianja --app impclasstest --debufile out.txt

... same happens and no txt file is produced.

I feel this is something trivial but I can't seem to see what it is.

The quickest way to test your app deployment is actually deploy it through the deploy workspace then just edit the desktop shortcut for the Lianja App Center to add the --app switch. That's how you would fire your app up after creating an installer and deploying to your customers. You would create a desktop shortcut with your own icon and run the lianjaruntime (with various switches e.g --app xxx --splashscreen xxx etc) which is the royalty free runtime distribution.

the other switch you have a typo it should be --debugfile

Great I'll try that thanks.
