Starting a compilation

You can start two types of compilation (Debug and Release). If compilation completes without any errors, then the compiled API is written to the database.

  2. On the start page, expand the Compilation pane.

  3. In the Compilation pane, perform one of the following actions:

    • To start a debug compilation, enable the DEBUG option.

    • To start a release compilation, enable the RELEASE option.

  4. Click Compile.

    The Compilation log opens and shows compilation status and progress.

    The Tasks window opens if errors arise. Use this to view and rectify any errors and warnings that arise during compilation. For more information, see Managing compilation errors and warnings (task window).

Managing compilation errors and warnings (task window)

Open the task window with View > Tasks (see Opening the task window).

Use the Tasks window to view compilation errors and warnings and to rectify them where necessary (debug).

  • Compilation errors prevent the web project from compiling properly and must therefore be eliminated. Development states cannot be released if they cannot be compiled.

  • Compilation warnings relate to missing extensions, or to messages concerning accessibility. The compilation warnings of the relevant compiler are also taken into account. If compiler warnings are the only type of message that is generated, the development state will be successfully compiled nonetheless.

TIP: In the global settings, you can define which warnings are displayed as errors during compilation and which errors are ignored. For more information, see Global settings.

If individual messages are displayed ( icon) together, it means that the errors indicated occur at various locations throughout the web project. This can happen, for example, if an extension that is referenced by a number of nodes is missing.

The following table gives an overview of the various features in the Tasks window.
