Need a Way To Have Release & Debug Outputs For Flex Apps

Hi,

When compiling Flex binaries using Flash Builder, there were bin-debug and bin-release directories that were used depending on the type of compilation. When debugging, the binary was placed in the bin-debug, and when exporting a release build, it was placed in the bin-release folder. With IDEA, everything it seems is placed in the */production/output folder, which is created by default. This naming is misleading too I think, as it infers only release builds will be output here, but in fact debug versions go here as well if you are debugging on a mobile device or the iOS Simulator, which means your release build gets overwritten. I'd much rather keep debug and release versions separate.

The only way I currently see to avoid this is to create debug and release Build Configurations and reference the BC wit hthe debug output path in the run/debug configuration. However this creates a lot of BCs, meaning that you have to manually keep the settings in sync between the multiple BCs. I think IDEA should automatically discern that a debug build goes into a debug folder and a release build goes in a release folder. Is the way I describe the only way to achieve what I want?

thx

It seems to me what they describe has been implemented hasn't it? What I'm describing is to have different output folders based on the release, debug, and possibly run commands.

Indeed, 'Package AIR Application' action allows to create release build for Desktop- or Mobile-targeted app. But for Web apps there's no such action.
Your request is similar, it is 'export release build to a separate folder'. Ok, let's track it as a separate YouTrack issue, can you please open it?
