GWT module's gwt.xml file not found; cannot continue

[ZehnVon12]

The script

project --topLevelPackage foo --projectName foo
persistence setup --provider DATANUCLEUS --database GOOGLE_APP_ENGINE
entity --class ~.server.domain.Foo
field string foo
gwt setup

ends with the message:

GWT module's gwt.xml file not found; cannot continue

I have tried spring-roo-1.1.4.RELEASE and spring-roo-1.1.4.BUILD-SNAPSHOT_20110517.005036-d4d95d4.
With spring-roo-1.1.3.RELEASE, it still worked.

Looks like it might be an issue with spring-roo-1.1.4.RELEASE. Tried spring-roo-1.1.3.RELEASE with STS versions 2.6.0 SR 1 and 2.7.0 M1 and it still worked. Only when changing to spring-roo-1.1.4.RELEASE does it produce that error.

I think, GWT does not work with version 1.1.4?!
Am I allowed to open a JIRA ticket for this issue?

[Stefan Schmidt]

Yes, please open a Jira ticket for this and provide the steps to reproduce there as well.

I also ran into this. I tried "gwt setup" a second time, and that worked (or at least, it didn't roll back).

But then when I ran "mvn gwt:run" I encountered a compile error (maven 3.0.3):

I can't reproduce this one. Can you please provide details of your environment on the ticket?

[troche]

Alan -

I saw no one has responded to your environment details request yet. I get the error on Windows XP SP3 with the following:

apache-ant-1.8.1
Java JDK 1.6.0_25
maven-2.2.1.RELEASE
spring-roo-1.1.4.RELEASE
sts-2.7.0.M1

Let me know if that is sufficient...

I just ran into this also. I'm rather disappointed that every Roo release seems to have major flaws. I try to update a very simple GWT/GAE app and immediately get an error.

We're still trying to find this issue but since none of us can reproduce the issue it is taking longer than expected.
