I had successfully installed and used a3hx on my mac using macOS Sierra. Now I can’t can’t get it to work. I’ve deleted and reinstalled it several times and no luck.
Here’s a listing of the run. Any ideas?
melzie-mac:as3hx-master Athena$ ls
AS3 LICENCE.md as3hx.hxml src
CHANGES.md Makefile haxelib.json test
Hexe README.md run.n test.hxml
melzie-mac:as3hx-master Athena$ neko run.n AS3/ Hexe/
Called from sys.io.FileOutput::$statics line 1
Called from Run::main line 110
Called from Run::loop line 32
Called from sys.FileSystem::readDirectory line 94
Uncaught exception - std@sys_read_dir
Could you try installing and using a different version, and see if it helps?
For example:
haxelib install as3hx 1.0.5
haxelib set as3hx 1.0.5
haxelib run as3hx AS3/ Haxe/
If you haven’t already, you can also try the haxelib run version of running the AS3HX tool
haxelib run as3hx AS3/ Haxe/
Tried those and still no go. Here’s what I got:
melzie-mac:as3hx-master Athena$ haxelib run as3hx AS3/ Haxe/
Error: Library as3hx is not installed
melzie-mac:as3hx-master Athena$ haxelib run run.n AS3/ Haxe/
Error: Library run.n is not installed
melzie-mac:as3hx-master Athena$ haxelib install as3hx 1.0.5

If 1.0.5 doesn’t work, try 1.0.6, or another version
Like this
cd my/project
haxelib run as3hx path/to/source path/for/output
Unless you have “as3hx-master/AS3”, I think you might need a different path for the source
Thanks for the suggestions but one thing that seems to be lost is that the commands I used (neko run.n AS3/ Hexe/) used to work without any problems. After I started having the problem, I reinstalled and recreated the folder structure exactly like it was when it did work. And I get those errors even when there’s no file in the source AS3 folder.
I think the key is knowing what’s causing Uncaught exception - std@sys_read_dir
That error happens when a Neko-based program cannot read a directory. This usually happens if a directory does not exist, the file permissions are wrong, or some other problem is taking place
It happens when the output directory already exists. I removed the output directory to make as3hx make it itself. And the error was gone.
It worked on windows using this command:
neko run.n src/ out/
But on mac, I installed as3hx 1.0.6 when using
neko run.n src/ out/
It says module run.n not found
When trying this command
haxelib run as3hx path/to/source path/for/output
it does not do anything. Just blank output and comes back to terminal.
I am trying to find run.n , and for that I tried to search as3hx. But not able to understand where as3hx and all libraries get installed on mac. The confusion is added because I have Stencyl game builder installed. And it too seems to install a lot of haxe libraries.
You should build sources to create run.n

Thanks. That did generate the run.n file. I tested with run.n and it works good.
In fact I realised both options of using
haxelib run as3hx ./source ./target
and
neko run.n ./source ./target
are working fine.
My mistake. I had given a wrong extension to the source file. So it was not able to recognise.
