GWT compiler not working

[JonBunator]

I am trying to compile TNoodle into JavaScript code. But I can't get it to work. I always get this error:

> Task :tnoodlejs-compiler:compileJava FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':tnoodlejs-compiler:compileJava'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':tnoodlejs-compiler:compileClasspath'.

It's probably because bintray doesn't host the right dependencies anymore.

I dont't know if this repository is still being maintained. But any help is much appreciated.

Hey there! The repository itself is being maintained, but unfortunately tnoodle-js via GWT is not. The main problem is that GWT itself is not actively maintained (last release May 13, 2020) and struggling with Java 8+

Currently there are long-term(!!) plans to revamp the codebase of tnoodle-lib entirely, including JVM and JS compilation targets. This will be done by the end of this year at the earliest.

I'd recommend looking for alternative scramblers in JS, for example https://github.com/cubing/jsss. If you have a good reason why you specifically need TNoodle in your web project, reply to this issue and state your reason. Then I can consider explaining to you how to hack your way through GWT 😉

Thanks for the quick response. That's what I suspected. I will take a look at the scrambler you mentioned. Should be sufficient for now. Thank you! It would be nice if you add a comment to the readme stating the problem. That way other people know whats up and don't get frustrated :)
