restool

Overview

restool is a resource compilation tool that creates resource indexes and parses resources by compiling resource files. You can call the resource management APIs to obtain resources. The tool is stored in the toolchains subdirectory of the SDK installation directory.

Description

Command Options

Option	Default Value Allowed	Argument Carried	Description
-i/--inputPath	No	Yes	Resource directory or resource middleware to create. You can specify a compiled HAP/HSP resource directory (in the decompressed state) in the resource directory and implement overlay compilation based on the HAP/HSP resource directory. For details, see Compiling Resources.
-j/--json	No	Yes	Path of the config.json or module.json file.
-o/--outputPath	No	Yes	Output path of the compiled resource.
-p/--packageName	No	Yes	Bundle name of the compiled resource.
-r/--resHeader	No	Yes	Output path of the header file of the resource. The file contains the mapping between resource names and resource IDs. The file can be in .txt, .js, .h, or .ts format. NOTE - The .txt, .js, and .h files contain the resource mapping tables in all resource directories specified by -i. - Since API version 23, the .ts format is supported. The file contains only the resource mapping table in the resource directory of the HAR build product specified by -i.
-e/--startId	Yes	Yes	Start ID of the generated resource, for example, 0x01000000. The value range is [0x01000000, 0x06FFFFFF) and [0x08000000, 0xFFFFFFFF).
-f/--forceWrite	Yes	No	An existing output path will be forcibly deleted and a new one will be generated.
-h/--help	Yes	No	Help information.
-m/--modules	Yes	Yes	Module name. During joint module compilation, multiple module names can be specified, separated by commas (,).
-x/--append	Yes	Yes	Resource directory for generating intermediate files or a single resource path. The same command can run multiple times.
-z/--combine	Yes	No	Compilation result generated based on the resource intermediate file directory.
-l/--fileList	Yes	Yes	JSON file of the command option set, for example, resConfig.json. For details, see -l/--fileList Parameters.
-v/--version	Yes	No	Tool version.
--ids	Yes	Yes	Output directory of the generated id_defined.json file.
--defined-ids	Yes	Yes	Path of the id_defined.json file. Generally, the file is generated by using --ids. id_defined.json contains a list of resource types, names, and IDs. You can customize resource IDs in id_defined.json.
--dependEntry	Yes	Yes	Directory of the compilation result of a specified entry module when features are compiled separately in the FA model.
--icon-check	Yes	No	Whether to enable PNG image verification for icons and startWindowIcons.
--compressed-config	Yes	Yes	JSON configuration file for texture compression. For example, opt-compression.json. For details about the JSON configuration file format, see --compressed-config Parameters.
--thread	Yes	Yes	Number of child threads enabled during resource compilation. NOTE This option is supported since API version 18.
--target-config	Yes	Yes	Used together with the -i command to support compilation selection. For details, see target-config Parameters.
--ignored-file	Yes	Yes	Ignoring rule for resource files and resource directories. The value is a regular expression. Multiple rules are separated by colons. Files and directories whose names match the regular expression are ignored. For example, \.git:\.svn can ignore all files and directories whose names contain .git and .svn. NOTE This option is supported since API version 19.
--ignored-path	Yes	Yes	Ignoring rule for resource files and resource directories. The value is a regular expression. Multiple rules are separated by colons. Files and directories whose names or paths match the regular expression are ignored. For example, .+/rawfile/\.git:\.svn ignores only .git files and directories in the rawfile directory because it contains the specified path .+/rawfile/. However, all .svn files and directories can be ignored when the regular expression contains no specified path. NOTE This option is supported since API version 23.

target-config Parameters

Supported parameters: MccMnc, Locale, Orientation, Device, ColorMode, and Density.

Format: Use semicolons to separate different parameter configurations. Use square brackets ([]) to encapsulate values for a parameter and use commas (,) to separate values.

MccMnc matching rule: The MCC must always be used for matching. If an MNC is not included, a match is found as long as the MCC is the same. If an MNC is included, a match is found when both the MCC and MNC are the same.

Locale matching rules:

The language must always be used for matching.
If a script (text) is not included, a match is found as long as the language is the same. If a script is included, a match is found when both the language and script are the same.
If a country/region is not included, a match is found as long as the language is the same. If a country/region is included, a match is found when both the language and country/region are the same.

Example: Locale[zh_CN,en_US];Device[phone]. This configuration uses the languages zh_CN and en_US and the device phone as filter criteria. A match is found only when the resources use zh_CN and en_US as the languages and apply to phones. Other parameters (such as MccMnc and Orientation) are not configured and any values of them can match.

Subcommands

Command	Description
dump	Dumps the resource content in the HAP file in JSON format.

dump

restool dump [-h] [config] filePath

Parameters

Parameter	Default Value Allowed	Argument Carried	Description
-h	Yes	No	Help information.
config	Yes	No	Prints only the qualifiers of resources in the HAP package.

Example:

# Dump all resource information in the HAP file.
restool dump entry.hap
# Dump qualifiers of resources in the HAP file.
restool dump config entry.hap

Example

An example entry directory structure is as follows:

entry/src/main
|    |----resource
|    |    |----base
|    |    |    |----element
|    |    |    |----media
|    |    |    |----profile
|    |    |----rawfile
|    |    |----resfile
|    |----config.json/module.json

Compiling Resources

There are three resource compilation modes: full resource compilation, incremental resource compilation, and overlay resource compilation. Incremental compilation is available only in preview mode and is used to preview the component effect in the development phase. Full compilation is used to build resource files of a project. Overlay compilation allows resources in a project to be added to existing HAP template resources and compiled resource items to be reused.

To compile all resources, run the following command:

restool -i entry/src/main -j entry/src/main/module.json -p com.ohos.demo -o out -r out/ResourceTable.txt -f

To compile incremental resources, perform the following steps:

Step 1: Generate the resource middleware.

restool -x entry/src/main/resource -o out

Step 2: Compile the resource middleware.

restool -i out1 -i out2 -o out -p com.ohos.demo -r out/ResourceTable.txt -j entry/src/main/module.json -f -z

To compile overlay resources, run the following command:

# hapResource is the path of the decompressed HAP file.
restool -i entry/src/main -i hapResource -j entry/src/main/module.json -p com.ohos.demo -o out -r out/ResourceTable.txt -f

Fixing the Resource ID

To fix the resource ID, perform the following steps:

Step 1: Create the id_defined.json file. There are two ways to create the file.

Run the following command to generate the file:

restool -i entry/src/main -j entry/src/main/module.json -p com.ohos.demo -o out -r out/ResourceTable.txt --ids out -f

Customize the id_defined.json file with the following content:

{
    "record" :
    [
        {
            "id" : "0x01000000", // A fixed ID for the resource.
            "name" : "app_name", // Resource name.
            "type" : "string" // Resource type.
        }
    ]
}

Step 2: Fix the resource ID. There are two ways to fix the resource ID.

Run the following command to fix the resource ID:

restool -i entry/src/main -j entry/src/main/module.json -p com.ohos.demo -o out1 -r out1/ResourceTable.txt --defined-ids out/id_defined.json -f

Place the customized id_defined.json file in the resource/base/element/ directory and then run the following command to fix the resource ID:

restool -i entry/src/main -j entry/src/main/module.json -p com.ohos.demo -o out1 -r out1/ResourceTable.txt  -f

11211002 Module Configuration File Path Missing

Error Message

There are multiple input paths, but the path of the module.json (in the stage model) or config.json (in the FA model) file is not specified with option -j/--json.

Symptom

The path of the application configuration file module.json (of stage model) or config.json (of FA model) is missing.

Possible Causes

If only one input path is specified using -i/--inputPath, the restool reads the application configuration file from the parent directory of the input path by default. If multiple input paths are specified, for example, restool -i xxx\AppScope -i xxx\entry\main, you need to specify the path of the application configuration file using -j/--json.

Solution

Check whether the application configuration file path is specified using -j/--json.

11211003 Invalid Module Type

Error Message

Invalid module type 'xxx'. Valid values: ["entry", "har", "shared", "feature"].

Solution

Check whether the module type is within the specified range.

11211004 Conflict Between Resource Start ID and id_defined.json

Error Message

The start ID 'xxx' specified by option -e/--startId conflict with the IDs in the id_defined.json file.

Symptom

The resource start ID specified by -e/--startId conflicts with the id_defined.json file.

Possible Causes

By default, the start resource ID is 0x01000000. During compilation, the resource IDs increase in ascending order. In addition, restool provides two methods to customize them:

-e/--startId: specifies the start resource ID in the range of [0x01000000, 0x06FFFFFF) or [0x08000000, 0xFFFFFFFF).
Fixing the Resource ID: specifies the resource ID in the id_defined.json file.

If the two methods are used at the same time, the resource IDs calculated in the two methods may be different, causing conflicts.

Solution

Check whether the two methods are used at the same time.

11211007 Invalid Resource Type in id_defined.json

Error Message

Invalid resource type 'xxx' in the id_defined.json file. Valid values: ["boolean","color","float","id","intarray","integer","pattern","plural","strarray","string","symbol","theme"].

Symptom

The resource type in id_defined.json is invalid.

Possible Causes

The value of type in the id_defined.json file is not within the range of ["boolean", "color", "float", "id", "intarray", "integer", "pattern", "plural", "strarray", "string", "symbol", "theme"].

Solution

Check whether the resource type is within the specified range.

11211008 Invalid Resource ID in id_defined.json

Error Message

Invalid ID value 'xxx' in the id_defined.json file. It should be a hexadecimal string, match the pattern ^0[xX][0-9a-fA-F]{8}, and be in the scope [0x01000000,0x06FFFFFF] or [0x08000000,0xFFFFFFFF].

Symptom

The resource ID in the id_defined.json file is invalid.

Possible Causes

The resource ID in id_defined.json is not a hexadecimal number.
The ID is not in the range of [0x01000000,0x06FFFFFF] or [0x08000000,0xFFFFFFFF].

Solution

Check whether the resource ID is in hexadecimal format and the value range is [0x01000000,0x06FFFFFF] or [0x08000000,0xFFFFFFFF].

11211010 Invalid Resource Sequence in id_defined.json

Error Message

The order value 'xxx' in the id_defined.json file does not match the record element sequence 'xxx'. Expected value: xxx.

Symptom

The order value in the id_defined.json file is inconsistent with the declaration sequence in the record array.

Possible Causes

The order value in the id_defined.json file is incorrect. The following is an incorrect example:

{
    "startId": "0x07800000",
    "record": [
        {
            "type": "color",
            "name": "ohos_id_color_foreground",
            "order": 0
        },
        {
            "type": "color",
            "name": "ohos_id_color_foreground_dark",
            "order": 2
        }
    ]
}

Two resources are declared. The index of the record array starts from 0. The index of the second resource ohos_id_color_foreground_dark in the array is 1, and the value of order should also be 1.

Solution

Check whether the order value of is consistent with the declaration sequence in the array.

11211012 Duplicate IDs Defined in id_defined.json

Error Message

The names 'xxx' and 'xxx' in the id_defined.json file define the same ID.

Symptom

Two resources in id_defined.json define the same resource ID.

Possible Causes

The same resource ID is defined for two resources in id_defined.json.

Solution

Check whether the resource ID in the id_defined.json file is unique and whether the value is in the range of [0x01000000,0x06FFFFFF] or [0x08000000,0xFFFFFFFF].

Referencing other color resources. For example, $c o l o r : x x x * * r e f e r e n c e s t h e a p p l i c a t i o n^{'} s c o l o r r e s o u r c e, o r * *$ ohos:color:xxx references the system color resource.
RGB color value starting with #, for example, #rgb, #argb, #rrggbb, and #aarrggbb.

Solution

Check whether the color resource is in the correct reference format or RGB format.

11211109 Invalid Resource Reference

Error Message

Invalid resource reference $xxx:xxx. Supported reference: $(ohos:)?xxx:xxx.

Symptom

The resource reference is invalid.

Possible Causes

Resource reference applies only to resources of the same type. For example, in string.json, you can use $s t r i n g : x x x * * t o r e f e r e n c e t h e a p p l i c a t i o n^{'} s s t r i n g r e s o u r c e s o r u s e * *$ ohos:string:xxx to reference system string resources. However, you cannot use $integer:xxx to reference integer resources.

Solution

Check whether the resource reference mode is correct.

        },
        {
          "name": "height",
          "value": "wrap_content"
        },
        {
          "name": "size",
          "value": "25dp"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "name": "child",
      "parent": "base",
      "value": [
        {
          "name": "noTitle",
          "value": "yes"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Two theme resources base and child are declared. base does not contain the parent property, and the parent property of the child resource is set to "base".

Solution

Check whether the parent property of the theme resource is empty. If the parent property is not required, delete it.

{
  "plural": [
    {
      "name": "eat_apple",
      "value": [
        {
          "quantity": "one",
          "value": "%d apple"
        },
        {
          "quantity": "one",
          "value": "%d apple"
        },
        {
          "quantity": "other",
          "value": "%d apples"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
