I have a web app that I'm trying to package up into a standalone app using Brackets-Shell. I followed the instructions here to setup Brackets and Brackets-Shell on my Mac OSX system:

https://github.com/adobe/brackets-shell/wiki/Building-brackets-shell http://clintberry.com/2013/html5-desktop-apps-with-brackets-shell/

When I run "grunt full-build" the process stops with this error message:

Running "stage-mac" task
>> cp: xcodebuild/Release/my_test.app: No such file or directory
Warning: Task "stage-mac" failed. Use --force to continue.

Were "my_test.app" is the name I've given to the app I'm trying to create. It seems that Grunt never creates my_test.app, but it does create Brackets.app. I've edited the Gruntfile.js file in the "brackets-shell" folder per the instructions in the previously mentioned link.

Anyone run into this problem, or have any ideas on how I can resolve it?

Thanks.

I think you just need to change the app name in appshell_config.gypi to match the Gruntfile.js change you made. You'll need to rerun grunt setup after doing so.

  • Excellent! That was the missing piece of the puzzle for me. Thank you so much for your help. I can now package up my web app with Brackets Shell, and it runs as a native app on my Mac. Thanks again. – cohoman Jul 29 '13 at 03:47
  • cohoman: Great! Feel free to upvote the answers too if you think they're good enough (though it's not required). – peterflynn Jul 29 '13 at 08:12
  • Also: I posted comments for these two corrections on the blog post you've linked to above. But they're not visible yet since they're still awaiting manual moderation by the blog owner... – peterflynn Jul 29 '13 at 08:17
