The process of generating c# classes off the xsd is usually rather simple. One needs the xsd.exe utility (for example located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools) and then a simple command to get things done:

xsd schema.xsd /c

Sometimes there may be some problems though with missing refs, namespaces and such.

In this example, I will generate classes for WMS 1.3.0 based on the OGC schemas - it is possible to grab them one by one, or all the goodies wrapped as a zip archive.

I have extracted WMS 1.3.0 schemas to f:\wms\schemas, so my command should look like this when in f:\wms (I have copied xsd.exe there too):

xsd schemas\capabilities_1_3_0.xsd /c

Unfortunately there are some problems and classes do not get generated:

The problem here is caused by unresolved references. Xsd was not able to find xlink.xsd. Although there is a xlink schema in OGC repo, this is not the one we're after. The one in question is the mentioned http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink, and its schema definition is http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink.xsd, pretty much as defined in the very beginning of the capabilities_1_3_0.xsd I am trying to process:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<schema targetNamespace="http://www.opengis.net/wms" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:wms="http://www.opengis.net/wms" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" version="1.3.0.2">

	<import namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink.xsd"/>

Unfortunately xsd.exe does not resolve the import automatically, so in order to make it work I just copied the xlinx.xsd to my schemas folder and specified it in the command:

xsd schemas\xlink.xsd schemas\capabilities_1_3_0.xsd /c

Looks like this did the trick and the classes got generated as expected. The complete set of files is here: 

So, after (re)reading the sencha docs and forums a couple of times I have come up with an alternate strategy for maintaining a utility library as a package... Not sure if it will not change at some point but so far it seems to be ok-ish...

Anyway, the requirements were:

• it should be possible to share the lib between apps / projects (obviously)
• the lib should have its own source control storage without having to use workspaces and such
• in should be possible to pack it and deliver as a package in the future (not sure it it will ever be the case though ;)
• It should be ready for the ExtJs 6 universal app usage

I have been thinking for a while on plugging Jasmine into ExtJs apps in an easy way. So here it goes an ExtJs TestRunner for Jasmine. This is more a PoC than a completed module, but so far it proved itself to be working as expected.

It can replace the app's viewport:

or work side by side:

The usage is rather simple:

//get the query params, so can dynamically adjust where the tests will be executed
//this may be handy if the tests need ui for example
var query = Ext.Object.fromQueryString(window.location.search),
    testRunnerCfg,
    tests = [
        'Jasmine.test.Simple',
        'Jasmine.test.Async'
    ];

//check if should handle the normal startup or kick in with the tests mode
if(Jasmine.util.TestRunner.isInTestMode()){

    //by default the test runner creates its own viewport that is displayed instead of the app
    //it is possible to customise this and display the jasmine output on the side or actually in any container

    //the default will run test runner with the standard output generated instead of the app
    testRunnerCfg = {
        tests: tests
    };

    //display tests on the side
    if(query.hasOwnProperty('testsonside') && query['testsonside']){
        this.viewport = Ext.create('Ext.container.Viewport', {
            layout: 'border',
            items: [
                {
                    xtype: 'panel',
                    region: 'center',
                    layout: 'fit',
                    items: [
                        Ext.create('Jasmine.view.main.Main')
                    ]
                },
                {
                    xtype: 'panel',
                    region: 'south',
                    height: 300,
                    html: '
',
                    overflowY: true,
                    split: true,
                    title: 'Jasmine output'
                }
            ]
        });

        testRunnerCfg.outputContainer = 'jasmine_output';
    }

    Ext.create('Jasmine.util.TestRunner', testRunnerCfg);
}
else {
    //normal app startup
    //create the app's viewport
    this.viewport = Ext.create('Ext.container.Viewport', {
        layout: 'fit',
        items: [
            Ext.create('Jasmine.view.main.Main')
        ]
    });
}
