Redmine Bug #3133 (Resolved): R is not added to the pathhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/31332008-02-05T21:50:17ZChad Berkleyberkley@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>The errors cxh got with R seem to be coming from the fact that R is installed, but not put into the path on windows. I'm trying to figure out how to do that with IzPack right now.</p> Bug #3131 (Resolved): R is not added to the pathhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/31312008-02-05T21:31:32ZChad Berkleyberkley@nceas.ucsb.edu

<p>There are links in the documentation for kepler to ptII demos that don't work. These demos need to be pulled out. The plan is to create a list of ptII demos that do work and eliminate the link to the ptolemy documentation from which they are currently linked.</p> Bug #3123 (Resolved): Change icons to be kepler specifichttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/31232008-02-01T23:54:58ZChad Berkleyberkley@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Icons installed by the kepler installer need to be the kepler icons instead of the generic ones.</p> Bug #3054 (Resolved): Importing a kar file claims actor is already cachedhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/30542008-01-08T20:41:28ZChad Berkleyberkley@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>If you try to import a kar file containing a composite, sometimes an error is thrown that the actor already exists in the cache. I'm not sure if this is an lsid or naming error. it should ask the user to change the name/id if there is a conflict with either.</p> Bug #3030 (Resolved): Documentation says that kepler is version 1.0.0alpha8https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/30302007-12-14T17:30:11ZChad Berkleyberkley@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>If you go to the help/documentation menu and choose either "documentation for scientists" or "documentation for programmers" on the left side under the kepler menu, the version is listed as 1.0.0alpha8 in the programmer one and 1.0.0alpha9 for the scientists one. This should probably be removed or made so that it auto updates with the "version" ant tag.</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 #2830 (Resolved): Actor names to change/actors to remove from applicationhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/28302007-04-23T17:58:33ZKirsten Menger-Andersonkma500@hotmail.com
<p>I'm opening a bug to keep track of notes about some actors that have come up as I've gone through the actor docs.</p>
<p>Names to change:<br />GetPoint should be named GetMineralCompositionPoint <br />Get2DPoint should be named GetMineralComposition2DPoint</p>
<p>Actors to remove:<br />Interpolate: (per efrat) I think we can omit the Interpolate actor. It's not used in any used workflow and it's not fully implemented (only inverse distance is available) and very complex to use with all the parameters. I'm using other interpolation algorithms in workflows using web services. We can leave the actor in the distribution but probably omit it from the search.</p>
<p>InvokeService: (per efrat) The InvokeService actor can definitely be omitted, it's a wrapping of WorkflowExecute to use within a workflow, but Ptolemy also provides an actor to execute a whole workflow.</p>
<p>PortLineReader: this actor, util.LineReader, is being removed<br />FTPClient: This actor may not currently work. Unclear what plan for it is.</p> Bug #2746 (Resolved): Documentation system does not work with java 1.6https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/27462007-01-24T20:49:18ZChad Berkleyberkley@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>If you try to run 'ant generateDoc' using java 1.6, it will appear to work, but in reality, JavaDoc fails with the error "Error 1". You have to set failonerror="true" in the keplerJavadoc target to see the error. I'm not sure what is causing this but it will need to be fixed as java 1.6 becomes more popular.</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 #2345 (Resolved): Actor Library classname/icon mapping problemshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/23452006-01-27T00:04:27ZMatthew Brookebrooke@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p><b>This pertains to running Kepler with the new icons enabled</b><br />(to do so, edit the file configs/ptolemy/configs/kepler/uiSettings.properties<br />and change the SVG_RENDERING_IS_BATIK property to:<br />SVG_RENDERING_IS_BATIK=true, then do a clean build)<br />---------------------</p>
<p>1) First time Kepler is run after a clean build (deleting kepler/kar,<br />kepler/build and ~/.kepler), expand the actor ("components") tree until the<br />"Parameter" actors are showing ("ColorParameter", FileParameter" etc). Drag<br />ColorParameter to the canvas, and the icon shows up as a colored dot.</p>
<p>2) Now stop kepler, then re-run it again (non-clean run). Repeat the above, and<br />this time, the icon on the canvas for ColorParameter is a teal rectangle (ie the<br />default icon)</p>
<p>3) Also, in a previous incarnation, the small icons in the tree were correctly<br />assigned by classname (showed up as a teal dot) - now, that seems to be broken,<br />and all just use the default blank rectangle (not related to whether it's a<br />clean run or not). Sorry I don't have any more-concrete info on when this<br />stopped working.</p>
<p>The icons for those actors are currently assigned by classname (see<br />configs/ptolemy/configs/kepler/uiSVGIconMappingsByClass.properties), and I think<br />these changes in behavior is something to do with how the parameters are<br />instantiated - we previously saw (and Chad fixed) issues similar to this in the<br />ActorMetadata class, but for Directors - which were not getting instantiated as<br />the correct class (Director), rather as a superclass, I believe.</p>
<p>Let me kow if you need any more info</p> Bug #1839 (Resolved): adding new port sometimes causes canvas to resizehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/18392004-12-16T23:00:23ZChad Berkleyberkley@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>sometimes when you add a new port with the toolbar, the port is added in the top<br />right corner of the workspace and the rest of the workflow is shrunk to<br />miniscule size. there is no way to drag the port over to where the workflow is.<br /> when the port is deleted the canvas goes back to normal size.</p> Bug #1838 (Resolved): need user level documentationhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/18382004-12-16T22:57:28ZChad Berkleyberkley@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>we need a user level handbook for kepler with good examples of common things<br />people want to do...like loops, ifs, exception throwing/catching, monitoring<br />values, etc. This is extremely important if we want domain scientists to be<br />able use kepler and get into it the first time they see the app.</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 #1334 (Resolved): need installer for keplerhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/13342004-02-09T16:53:43ZChad Berkleyberkley@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>We need a user friendly installer for Kepler. We could possibly use<br />installanywhere or a similar commercial product to produce the installer. it<br />would be nice if the creation of the installer is automated into the ant build<br />process so that it's easy to create releases. This needs to be done by the SEEK<br />meeting in EDI May 8.</p>
