File not found:'Contnrs.dcu' while trying to run through iOS simulator

Hi,

I am working with the iOS application. I am using latest mORMotNightlyBuild version.

On the client side when I am trying to compile through an activated iOS Simulator, I got an error- File not found:'Contnrs.dcu'.

And also, do we have any example for iOS application using mORMot client and server?

Could anyone help me regarding this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Use syncrossplatform units for the client.

Hi AB!

I have already used these 2 units under my Uses section: SynCrossPlatformREST, SynCrossPlatformSpecific

FYI: These are my units in the Uses section of Client side other than standard Firemonkey units:

SynCommons,
mORMot,
SynCrossPlatformREST, SynCrossPlatformSpecific,
mORMotHttpClient, // HTTP client to a mORMot RESTful server
RESTModel; // data model unit, shared between server and client

Do not use mORMotHttpClient but only SynCrossPlatformREST.

Thanks, but another Error popped up: File not found: 'Windows.dcu'

This error is shown under 'SynCrossPlatformSpecific' class.

Now I have removed mORMotHttpClient and using only SynCrossPlatformREST.

Any suggestions?

Are you sure your SynCrossplatform.inc file is up-to-date?
The following lines:

    {$if CompilerVersion >= 23.0}
      {$define ISDELPHIXE2} // e.g. for Vcl.Graphics
      {$ifndef MSWINDOWS}
      {$define USETMONITOR}
      {$endif}
    {$ifend}

are needed to define USETMONITOR, which would use TMonitor instead of the fastest Windows API when run in cross-platform mode.

Had the same error.
Does it pass above part of the .inc? Isn't it catched by the NEXTGEN section for iOS...

Indeed.
This was a regression.

Should be fixed by http://synopse.info/fossil/info/b9a67c7917
Thanks Wim for the report!

I have updated the fix now. But again, it's shows an Error: [DCC Fatal Error] SynCommons.pas(675): F1026 File not found: 'Contnrs.dcu'

Still, it hasn't solved. Any other suggestions please.

Btw, Thanks AB and Wim314 .

@aruncs08
I guess your project is mixing units.
If you use SynCrossPlatform* units, you should NOT link SynCommons.pas to your application.
All the needed types (e.g. RawUTF8 or TModTime) are defined in SynCrossPlatformREST, not in SynCommons, when using cross-platform clients.

Re: File not found:'Contnrs.dcu' while trying to run through iOS simulator

@AB: Yes, I understood and fixed in the Client side and Model class. But how can I use only SynCrossPlatform* units in the mORMot Server side program?

It says Error on these lines when trying to compile mORmot Server. If I try to remove any of the Uses classes in the code below, then the error increases.

FYI, I am using MSSQL as a backend database.

Uses
SynLog,  mORMot,  mORMotSQLite3,  SynSQLite3Static,  mORMotDB,  mORMotHttpServer,  SynDB,  SynDBODBC,  mORMotWrappers,  SynOleDB,  SynCrossPlatformREST,  RESTModel;

VirtualTableExternalRegister(aModel, TWareHouses, aProps); // my aModel class uses only SynCrossPlatform* units
 try
  aRestServer := TSQLRestServerDB.Create(aModel,':memory:',false); 

  aRestServer.AcquireExecutionMode[execORMGet] := amBackgroundORMSharedThread;
  aRestServer.AcquireExecutionMode[execORMWrite] := amBackgroundORMSharedThread; 
  aRestServer.CreateMissingTables;
  AddToServerWrapperMethod(aRestServer, ['..\..\..\CrossPlatform\templates','..\..\..\..\CrossPlatform\templates']);
 
   aHttpServer := TSQLHttpServer.Create(SERVER_PORT,[aRestServer],'+',useHttpApiRegisteringURI);

    try
     aHttpServer.AccessControlAllowOrigin := '*';

     writeln('Background server is running.'#10);
     write('Press [Enter] to close the server.');
     readln;
    finally
      aHttpServer.Free;
    end;
  finally
   aRestServer.Free;
  end;

I know that I am not using appropriate methods or classes in this mORMot server side, but I don't know what are they?

Kindly help me to fix this. Any available example for the Server side program for iOS/mobile applications?

Thanks in advance.

Re: File not found:'Contnrs.dcu' while trying to run through iOS simulator

Just use any mORMot server...

You have examples in folder "27 - CrossPlatform Clients".
For instance Project27ServerTest.dpr or Project14ServerHttpWrapper.dpr or even RegressionTestsServer.dpr
