Redmine Kepler - Bug #4806 (New): add output port to Throw Exceptionhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/48062010-02-18T00:11:32ZOliver Soongsoong@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>In some of my workflows, I have an actor that checks that certain components are installed and working before trying to run the workflow. If things are missing, it uses the Throw Exception actor to stop execution and display an error message. Right now, it's possible for the director to schedule the entire workflow before the error check, even if I use the "check" actor as a trigger. I just want some way to convince the director that needs to fire the Throw Exception actor before the rest of the workflow.</p> Kepler - Bug #4639 (New): add support for -Drev to ant change-tohttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/46392009-12-18T23:18:03ZOliver Soongsoong@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Doesn't happen very often, but I often am not checking out the head revision, and so it would be nice if ant change-to -Dsuite=wrp -Drev=22258 worked in the logical fashion. Not at all important, but probably not very hard.</p> Morpho - Bug #4624 (New): local/network status icons sometimes (inconsistently) incorrecthttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/46242009-12-11T01:44:18ZOliver Soongsoong@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>A package that only exists remotely gets a network icon but no local icon. After a sync from remote->local, some packages get a local icon but no network icon. If I delete the local copy and close and re-open the package listing (forcing refresh), I see the correct network-only status icon. What's really odd is this happens inconsistently. It will happen to a package.revision consistently, but it may not happen to package.revision+1 or to a different package.</p> Kepler - Bug #4613 (New): EML 2 Dataset automatically updating to latest package doesn't trigger ...https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/46132009-12-09T01:43:12ZOliver Soongsoong@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>I have a saved workflow that uses judithk.40.47 in an EML 2 Dataset actor. It also has "Check for latest version" checked. The LSID is urn:lsid:gamma.msi.ucsb.edu/OpenAuth/:965:34:50. judithk.40 is currently at judithk.40.48. When I open Kepler, it prompts to update the actor to use the latest version. When closing Kepler, it doesn't prompt to save changes. If I let Kepler update the workflow to use judithk.40.48 and save, the LSID is not updated.</p> Metacat - Bug #4611 (New): searching for soong_test seems to return entries with "soong test" as ...https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/46112009-12-09T00:31:35ZOliver Soongsoong@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>I'm not sure if this is a "feature" or not. It surprised me. Searching for "soong test" only returns the expected entries, but soong_test returns more than expected.</p> Metacat - Bug #4610 (New): trying to register a dataset when logged in asks for another authentic...https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/46102009-12-09T00:28:09ZOliver Soongsoong@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>I log into KNB, then go to Register your dataset online, and it says I must register. The register dataset page seems to be ignoring the existing credentials.</p> Metacat - Bug #4609 (New): when viewed with saved credentials, KNB homepage shows blank entrieshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/46092009-12-09T00:23:12ZOliver Soongsoong@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>I sign into the KNB, then close the window (but not the browser). The cookie persists, so when I go back to the KNB home page, it picks up the saved credentials from earlier. However, the login space shows no entries (blank username and password, -- choose one -- for the organization), so I can't be sure who I'm logged in as.</p>
<p>This also happens with dev.nceas.ucsb.edu.</p> Kepler - Bug #4532 (New): have to manually click Build to rename repositorieshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/45322009-11-05T17:56:47ZOliver Soongsoong@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>If I open the Components Sources dialog and change the name of one of the sources, then click Ok, the changes are not applied, which isn't the normal behavior of Ok. I have to click Build first, then Ok. Since Build is triggered when clicking Ok after adding or removing a repository, it seems like there just needs to be some improvements made to the change detection logic.</p>
<p>For that matter, do we really need a separate Build and Ok button? Maybe an Ok and Apply button, where the Apply is the current Build button. That would be more in line with a typical dialog.</p> Morpho - Bug #4461 (New): delete local copy only deletes the most recent stored revision, but thi...https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/44612009-10-15T18:48:02ZOliver Soongsoong@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>When deleting a package in the package listing, the current behavior is to delete only the most recent stored copy. However, it just says "Delete". This is particularly confusing when compounded with the fact that after deleting, the entry disappears from the package listing entirely even though earlier copies exist. Only after closing the package listing and reopening it can the user see the previous revision.</p>
<p>A relatively simple fix would be to change Delete to Delete Most Recent Copy. It might also help for users who do want to get rid of an entire package to have a Delete Package entry. It might also help to have the package list refresh after the delete.</p> Morpho - Bug #4460 (New): morpho package listing can be confusing when out of synchttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/44602009-10-15T18:43:32ZOliver Soongsoong@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>This is a UI and clarity issue. Morpho's handling of versions is fine.</p>
<p>In the case of an old local copy and updated online copies, there is no indication in the package listing that there are old copies sitting around (the package listing shows an icon only for the remote copy and no local data). From the perspective of a sometimes offline user, it can appear that work on that old local copy has disappeared.</p>
<p>Similarly, a user who has an old local copy, but signs in and looks at the package listing might be led to believe there is no local data. When that user looks at the package listing offline, it might be surprising to see a local copy. There is also no indication that the data is out of date, even though the (possibly stale) cache might actually contain enough information to flag the local copy as out of date.</p>
<p>Adding something simple like a "stale local copies" icon would help clear this up, instead of using the same blank indication for no local data and local data out of date.</p> Kepler - Bug #4429 (New): EML 2 Dataset requires File Extension Filter parameterhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/44292009-09-30T20:43:38ZOliver Soongsoong@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>I'm not 100% sure this isn't just a lack of documentation. When using EML 2 Dataset on a compressed data table (so using the As UnCompressed File Name Data Output Format), EML 2 Dataset will not function properly without a value in the File Extension Filter parameter. There does not seem to be a way to get all the files, regardless of extension, nor does there seem to be a way to get multiple extension types.</p>
<p>Personally, I'd be happy if the actor returned all files if the File Extension Parameter is blank.</p> Metacat - Bug #4301 (New): sessionid in the URL creates end-user difficultyhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/43012009-08-10T22:34:04ZOliver Soongsoong@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Using a plain URL, one cannot access datasets that require authentication. Alternatively, a link of the form <a class="external" href="http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/knb/metacat?action=read&qformat=knb&docid=judithk.594">http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/knb/metacat?action=read&qformat=knb&docid=judithk.594</a> will function properly when authenticated, although this form is not actually presented in metacat. However, attempting to view the metadata for any of the included data tables will insert a &sessionid= with no value, which causes an error as I think this overrides the (correctly authenticated) value that would otherwise have been passed.</p>
<p>Perversely enough, at the top of any data package is a printed URL of the form <a class="external" href="http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/knb/metacat/judithk.594.26/knb">http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/knb/metacat/judithk.594.26/knb</a>, even though the actual link is <a class="external" href="http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/knb/metacat?action=read&qformat=knb&sessionid=________________________________&docid=judithk.594.26">http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/knb/metacat?action=read&qformat=knb&sessionid=________________________________&docid=judithk.594.26</a> with the actual sessionid embedded in the URL. I think it would be safer and more robust if that sessionid were not explicitly inserted anywhere. From what I recall and have been told, everything should function as intended by simply removing the sessionid from the various URLs.</p> Kepler - Bug #4273 (New): Ctrl+E operates on mouse position, not selectionhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/42732009-07-27T20:50:27ZOliver Soongsoong@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>This is a UI concern, but if I select an actor, then move the mouse over a different actor, then Ctrl+E, it will open the settings for the actor under the mouse, not the selected actor.</p> Kepler - Bug #3973 (New): Additional information for 64-bit users installing 1.0.0https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/39732009-04-10T23:12:04ZOliver Soongsoong@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Kepler 1.0.0 on 64-bit Windows systems seems to require a 32-bit java install, which is not the default provided by java.com. The error claims Java 1.5.0 could not be found, even if 1.5.0 is installed and even though it works with Java 1.6.0. At the very least, a note indicating such at kepler-project.org would help, and this seems to affect both XP and Vista.</p> Kepler - Bug #3803 (New): Cannot open a workflow through the command prompt, open with, or send t...https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/38032009-01-30T01:04:24ZOliver Soongsoong@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>XP Pro x64 SP2, Java 1.6.0_11, Kepler 1.0.0 from kepler-project.org</p>
<p>If I right click a workflow file and select Open With->Kepler, I get an error.</p>
<p>If I add a shortcut to Kepler to my SendTo menu, then right click the workflow file and use the Send To link, I get the same error.</p>
<p>If I call Kepler from the command prompt with the workflow as the only argument, I get the same error.</p>
<p>An image of the error is at the URL.</p>
