Running Uncompressed Ardublockly

Runninng Uncompressed Ardublockly

During development you could implement your changes to the source files and re-build each time (using the Building Ardublockly instructions), however the code is minified and would be quite hard to debug. For that reason it is highly encouraged to use the uncompressed version of Blockly used in Ardublockly.

Remember that the closure-library folder needs to be populated (as a git submodule it is empty on a normal git clone), so make sure you have followed the Building Ardublockly instructions to Download the source code.

To run Blockly uncompressed, the /ardublockly/index.html file already contains the required sources commented out. Simply modified the following from:

  <!-- Ardublockly - These three files contain the compress version -->
  <script src="../blockly/blockly_compressed.js"></script>
  <script src="../blockly/blocks_compressed.js"></script>
  <script src="../blockly/arduino_compressed.js"></script>

It is highly recommended to manually comment/uncomment these blocks in the index.html file instead of copy/pasting from this document, as the code snippet displayed here could get out of sync with the source code.

Keep in mind that any additional block file would have to to be added as a new <script> import.

Also remember to do hard refresh in-between changes to ensure your browser is not using cached old versions of the JavaScript files.
