Redmine Bug #3256 (Resolved): path problems on Mac with CommandLine demo workflowshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/32562008-04-30T17:52:49ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>On 1.0 release installer check, the CommandLine_1 and CommandLine_2 demo workflows (in demos/getting-started dir) fail with a path problem on the Mac.</p>
<p>This is apparently due to moving the demos directory.</p> Bug #3167 (Resolved): Customize documentation fails when ports addedhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/31672008-02-29T18:40:03ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>New customized documentation dialog has a 'null' error when ports have been added.</p>
<p>To see the error, customize an RExpression actor by adding 2 new input ports. Then right click to Documentation/Customize and add some text describing the new ports. When the dialog is closed a null error occurs. If no new ports are added, customized documentation seems to work OK.</p>
<p>Dan Higgins - 29 Feb 2008</p> Bug #3074 (Resolved): Code library installation issueshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/30742008-01-16T23:48:12ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>There are several issues with compiled code libraries (*.dll, *.so, *.dylib files) and where they must be located. This is particularly true with 'secondary' libraries i.e. compiled code called by other compiled code (e.g. the GARP and gdal code calls other C libraries). Such libraries need to be installed in specific locations or environment variables need to be set so that they can be located at run time. These locations are also platform specific.</p>
<p>Preferably, such code libraries should be included in kar files with the actors that use them and copied to a place where they are usable when the kar is installed at startup. Note that installation in some locations may require special access privileges that not all users may have. e.g. adding dlls to the windows32 directory is reportedly not allowed under Windows Vista</p> Bug #3027 (Resolved): jar handling issueshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/30272007-12-13T21:24:04ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>We still need to treat all 'legacy' actor jars - i.e. figure out which jars go<br />with which actors and are any shared. And figure out how to handle jar version issues.</p>
<p>This bug is derived from <a class="issue tracker-1 status-3 priority-2 priority-default closed" title="Bug: Conflicting jars and classpath reduction (Resolved)" href="https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/2316">#2316</a> - now closed</p> Bug #3026 (Resolved): Actor documentation does not appear in older workflowshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/30262007-12-12T23:32:19ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Attempting to get actor documentation does not work in several of the older workflows, especially some in the demos directory. This is apparently due the fact that documentation is now saved inside kar files. This was changed after some existing workflows were created. They need to be rebuilt so that documentation will be added to the moml file for the workflow. (The documetation does show up when a new version of the actor is dragged to the workflow.)</p> Bug #2933 (Resolved): Query Builder comparisons for strings, dates do not workhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/29332007-09-04T18:53:46ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Attempt to filter data sets using QueryBuilder apparently do not work for strings (or date?). Note that date in Datos dataset appears as a String. Is there a Date object? Numerical comparison filter apparently DO work</p> Bug #2569 (Resolved): Popup (context) menu do not appear for relations and connectionshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/25692006-10-23T17:30:39ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>A right click on relations (vertexes) and connections does not bring up a popup menu. This is probably just a configuration issue since these do appear OK in Ptolemy.</p> Bug #2493 (Resolved): actor repository tracking bughttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/24932006-07-18T21:42:18ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>The Kepler repository at <a class="external" href="http://library.kepler-project.org/">http://library.kepler-project.org/</a> currently has 52 components in it, but (nearly?) all are just copies of actors already built into Kepler. If downloaded and imported (using the menu item 'File/Import Archive (KAR)', one gets an error because the LSID is already in use (because the actor is already in Kepler). We need to remove any actors that are just duplicates.</p>
<p>Also, all files (KARs) downloaded from the repository seemed to be named just 'data' on download (at least on a Windows box). Download name should be more meaningful and should end with '.kar' since that is the file extention that Kepler is looking for to import the file.</p> Bug #2448 (Resolved): Splash screen sometimes appears as simple white boxhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/24482006-05-26T23:25:24ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Sometimes (at unpredictable times) the spash screen will not appear. Instead a simple, empty white box appears. This has been seen on both the Mac anc Windows.</p> Bug #2412 (Resolved): Unable to Create Kar file from compositehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/24122006-04-12T20:48:52ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>A number of problem occur when trying to create a kar file from an existing composite actor in a workflow.</p>
<p>1) If you select a composite and then execute the 'Create Kar from Actor...' menu, the first message says "You cannot create a kar file from an instantiated component. Youmust first make it a class...". Why can't this be done automatically?</p>
<p>2)If you then try the 'Convert to Class' menu item, you get the error<br />Cannot convert an entity to a class definition while it contains ports with links.' Apparently this means that you must disconnect the links. Again this is a lot of work for the user!</p>
<p>3)After disconnecting the links, a Class actor will appear and if you then 'Create Kar from Actor...' the proper dialog will appear. However, get 'Error Building the KAR file: Cannot create transport KAR: null'</p> Bug #2319 (Resolved): Ptolemy build problemshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/23192005-12-15T23:18:02ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Currently kepler uses 'ant ptolemy' to compile PtolemyII source code. Some<br />source code is just ignored (skipped) if it doesn't compile and isn't directly<br />used by Kepler. Often this problem is handled in PT by config/make dynamic<br />configuration of files.<br /> We should make the ant ptolemy build 'smarter' to handle some of the dynamic<br />build problems (e.g Java 3D samples).</p> Bug #2315 (Resolved): Unable to run multiple Kepler instances simultaneouslyhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/23152005-12-09T23:14:30ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>On a Windows machine, I have been unable to launch a second instance of Kepler<br />(using a batch file which should run completely separate task) while first<br />instance is still running. Error message is:</p>
<p>Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException<br /> at org.kepler.objectmanager.cache.CacheUtil.executeSQLCommand(CacheUtil.java:78)</p> Bug #2016 (Resolved): MENUS: pop-up context menu revisionhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/20162005-03-11T19:03:16ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Suggested by Laura Downey<br />This includes both top level and popup menus. Menu labels may need to be changed<br />to more obvious terms and certain menu items removed or organized into<br />hierarchies. example: 'Create hierarchy' shold perhaps be called 'Create Composite'?</p> Bug #1836 (Resolved): data search and access problems via ecogridhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/18362004-12-16T15:45:03ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>In the recent BEAM ENM meeting, ~20 people were searching kepler/ecogrid for a<br />datafile (on metacat). It worked OK for some, but seemed to take a long time.<br />For others, nothing was returned (time out?); others got different numbers of<br />hits returned! (The difference appeared to be hits from DIGIR appeared for some<br />and didn't for others.)</p>
<p>Overall, performance was extremely varied and generally poor. (Maybe because<br />there were a lot of people hitting DIGIR and Metacat at the same time.)</p> Bug #1557 (Resolved): problems with paths with 'spaces'https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/15572004-05-06T19:43:29ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>There are sometimes problems when the kepler directory is in a path that has<br />'spaces' like "Program Files". Should figure out the cause and fix</p>
