FCKEditor 2.4.1 Packager error

Hi there,

I am trying to package the FCKEditor 2.4.1 source code with some of my additions with the packager tool from here http://www.fckeditor.net/packager/Packager.zip.

The Packager complains:
Error: The package definition file was not found. : c:/Projects/web_app/ScriptLibrary/FCKeditor/editor/_packager.xml

Ok, I copied file "fckpackager.xml" to "editor\_packager.xml"

Trying to run packer one more time results in this error:

Can somebody explain to me what I am doing wrong?

I have the same exact problem with 2.4.2 packager. Comparing the two .xml docs you can see that the layout changed which makes me think there ought to be an updated packager as well.

Any ideas?

Hello, did you found any solution or workaround? I am dealing with this for about two days, but without success.

RE: FCKEditor 2.4.1 Packager error

I found these changes to be necessary in v2.4.1 and the current v2.4.2 - hopefully fixed in the next version

1) Put FCKeditor.Packager.exe in the fckeditor folder, alongside fckconfig.js
2) In fckpackager.xml replace...
<PackageFile path="editor/js/
...with...
<PackageFile name="
...in BOTH places where it occurs
3) Move fckpackager.xml to editor\_packager.xml

Note: Step 2 changes the corrupted lines back to how they were in v4.2 but retains the other changes.

Without these changes, the following error happens:
--------------------------
Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to
an instance of an object.
at d.a(String[] A_0)

An unhandled exception of type System.NullReferenceException occurred in FCKeditor.Packager.exe
--------------------------

I wonder why only 4 people have noticed this problem even though it's been there for 2 months? Is there another forum somewhere else where this has already been solved?

Cheers,
Julian

I just renamed the file back the the old one and edited the contents to comply with the prior format. It worked OK, but you would think that it was changed on purpose and that there should be a new version of the packager.

Thanks very much Juilan. I needed these instructions for version v2.4.3 as well.
