Develop 40 sugargame template error in activity.info

[tonyforster]

Creating a new Activity from the sugargame template, Activity will not run because activity.info line 5 exec= specifies a non-existant activity.py module and class.

editing line 5 to exec = sugar-activity HelloWorld.HelloWorld fixes bug

change in V40 15e5faa Remove unneeded activity.py may be the cause

[tonyforster]

The web template does not work either but the log is empty. gtk 2 and gtk3 templates run ok

[tonyforster]

Web template is raising an error in shell.log

[tonyforster]

Sugargame problem traces back to new_activity.py

28 def activity_info_template(name, web_activity=False):

this function does not allow for sugargame skeleton to have a different activity.info to the gtk default skeleton

Replying to tonyforster:

Web template is raising an error in shell.log

Can you attach the shell error? Web activity is working here.

I fixed the pygame activity template in git, will be available in the next version.

The webactivity is opening a log file but that logfile is empty

XO-4 Sugar 0.98.7

[godiard]

I see the problem, Sugar 0.98 do not support webactivities.

[tonyforster]

It would be good if users were alerted in some way that they were creating an Activity with limited backwards compatibility. I presume this is also an issue with gtk3.

Maybe the dropdown list should read:

gtk2
gtk3 (Sugar 0.xx and above)
web (Sugar 0.100 and above)

[godiard]

Done. Will be in the next version.
