Description

I'm trying to build a simple Alloy App with a folder structure inside the views/styles/controllers, for organization purposes.. {{app - controllers - - folder - - - somecontroller.js - styles - - folder - - - somecontroller.tss - views - - folder - - - somecontroller.xml}} In the XML, when using a to refer to a controller, this seems to cause an error when I run the app. The app returns the error on runtime: [ERROR] : Script Error Couldn't find module: alloy/controllers/folder/somecontroller for architecture: arm64 If I take the folder structure out of the views/styles/controllers and leave the .xml/.tss/.js in the top level folders, change the path of the app runs fine. It seems like when building the app, the files inside the folders are not included.

    Hello [~echeung@leviton.com] can you please attach a test case?

    Attached is the sample source files with a /windows inside /views, /styles and /controllers. Two controllers were created: mainwindow and helpwindow index.js contains a tab group with 2 tabs. The tabs are loading the window via with src set to the /windows directory to load the mainwindow.xml and helpwindow.xml

    Attached is the sample source files without a subfolder inside /views, /styles and /controllers. Two controllers were created: mainwindow and helpwindow index.js contains a tab group with 2 tabs. The tabs are loading the window via with src pointing to the mainwindow.xml and helpwindow.xml without them being nested inside a folder

    The screenshot of the iOS simulator running the app with the loading the controller inside a folder. (error pops up after starting the app past the splash screen)

    The screenshot of the iOS simulator running the app with the loading the controller that isn't inside a folder. No issues

    I'm having the same issue when running my app on the iPhone 6. Surprisingly, I'm able to successfully run the app using the iOS Simulator - iPhone 6. My app is an Alloy app with view/models/controllers in a folder structure under app.

    As Rob experienced, It seems like I was able to get it working on the iOS simulator. But on an actual device (iPhone 5S) It does not work. Please change the test case to use an actual device.
