Create the Extension Development Environment on Mac

After you configure bash profile, you run the bicreateenv script to create the development environment that contains the resources you need to create extensions.

For information about the options available for running this script, see the script's command-line help, for example: 
cd $PLUGIN_DEV_DIR
bicreateenv -help
See Workflow to Set Up the Oracle Analytics Extension Development Environment.
  1. In Finder, navigate to the extension directory and run the bicreateenv script to create the environment:
    cd $PLUGIN_DEV_DIR
bicreateenv
  2. Navigate to the directory that you created and confirm that its contents look like this:

  3. Open build.gradle and search for -pluginDevDir. If the -pluginDevDir argument contains capital letters, change them to lowercase letters. The modified argument should look like this:

  4. Optional: If you’re working behind a web proxy, open gradle.properties and add system properties that point to your proxy.
    Use the following example to set your system properties: 
    systemProp.https.proxyHost=www-proxy.somecompany.com
systemProp.https.proxyPort=80
systemProp.https.nonProxyHosts=*.somecompany.com|*.companyaltname.com
