Build

The Substance IDE uses Gradle as its build system.

Building

To build a Gradle project, just run build:run from your Command Palette.

Supported Tasks

• build:run: Runs the project. Compiles the code and runs it. On Android, this also uses ADB to install and run the APK.
• build:debug: WIP
• build: release: Builds a package that can be distributed. A Jar by default.

Customising Builds

To change the way the IDE handles builds, open settings. Then go to "Packages", then find "build fusion". Select it. This brings up the settings for the compiler. Go to advanced. Here you have a few options.

• Preset
• Gradle - Compile any standard Gradle project. This is the default
• Avian - Compile a Gradle project, but then package it with Avian. WIP
• Fusion - Compile a special Fusion project, which doesn't have a standard yet. This will eventually become the default though. WIP
• Android - Compile Android projects WIP
• Custom - Use custom configuration options
• Run task
• Specifies what task build:run should run
• Default: run
• Debug task
• Specifies what task build:debug should run.
• Default for or Android preset: assembleDebug
• Default for everything else: WIP
• Release task
• Specifies what task build:release runs
• Default: jar
• Build file
• Specifies the filename of the build instructions.
• Default: build.gradle
