[Boa Constr] Problems with Boa on wxGTK

[Riaan B. <riaan@e.co.za>]

Hi everyone,

There are many problems with the 0.0.13 version on wxGTK, please give
me until the end of the week to sort these out.

Thanks,

Yes all wxSTC style settings are in there.

They are also defined in stc-styles.rc.cfg, under [style.text]

Please note, you are not really expected to edit this file by hand,
but there are problems with the new STCStyleEditor under wxGTK,
hope to check in some fixes soon.

Ok, I've used your patch, thanks!

I find it a bit disturbing that:

data = open(file).read()
exec string.strip(data)

is equivalent to execfile(file) on windows but not on linux :(

Thanks, I spent some time on this, but I'll have to spend some more.

Btw the GTK_IS_WIDGET warning happens in Editor.setupToolBar().

I meant create a Python Script object called ZOA with your webbrowser 
in the root of your Zope 2.4.0 tree and copy the contents of ZOA.py
into this Zope Python script.

[Boa Constr] Probles with v 0.13

[Antoni A. <al...@ct...>]

Hi!

I have a big problem with v. 0.13 under W98.  Python.exe causes an execption
and boa dies. I have had to revert to v 0.12 that works.

Any ideas?

By the way,  sometime boa "eats" the last line of a user module.

Antoni Aloy

Font settings are now in stc-styles.rc.cfg. 

However, these settings only work for the python-mode of the editor. Simple 
text files appear in a unreadably small and ugly font on my Linux box. Does 
anyone know how to adjust the font settings for the text mode?

[richard t. <rt...@hu...>]

I've tried changing the preferences to make the fonts large enough to view in 
the editor and it dosn't seem to work. 

Can anyone help?

[Boa Constr] Preferences problem

[Antoni A. <al...@ct...>]

Hi!

version 0.013 has the same problem with Preferences under Linux. The exec
fails.

On the other hand I have many core dumps on Linux (assert fails
GTK_IS_WIDGET). This happens always on the object inspector.

Re: [Boa Constr] zope problems

[sherlock c. <wr...@cr...>]

Good news -- I grabbed the latest code from cvs and on my linux platform 
here at work everything works just great.  I'm even able to connect to 
my zope 2.4.0 just fine.

When I get home, I'll checkout fresh code from cvs and see if i can get 
it working on my NT platform there as well.

I wasn't exactly sure what you meant so i copied the contents of ZOA.py to
C:\Program Files\myzope\ZOA

and that didn't work (nor did naming the target file ZOA.py instead of ZOA)

I then tried copying to boa\Zope\ZOA  (and boa\Zope\ZOA.py) but no luck that way either.

I still get the error asking me if i want to install the Zoa Python Method (and the subsequent error when i try to install it).

Am i supposed to install the ZOA file farther down my C:\Program Files\myzope\ hierarchy?

Very strange, I just tried everything I could think of and the script 
always installs with no problems.

Ok, install it manually:
* Create a new Python Script named ZOA in your Zope root
* Copy the contents from ZopeLib/ZOA.py into this script

Does this work? Is there any further trouble that might give us a clue?

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I finally figured out how to set the username/password that boa will use to connect (it required a few extra clicks), but that didn't seem to help.  I still repeatedly get asked to install the ZOA 
Python Method and I can't get past that (i can't see any of my zope site through boa -- the only thing that is successful is the rightclick/test option which tells me that the server is running)  I

I have a tips.txt file in my Docs directory. I also have a much older

something went wrong with the installation.

This is the way it should work, and it still does for me. Does this

Wrong again ;) As a previous message from Patrick noted, you should
download the bundled Docs. The tips are in there.

I've removed data/* from the CVS repository to avaid future confusion.

Nope, guessed wrong ;)

Boa needs exactly 2.3.0. 2.3.1 has a bug which stops accelerators from 
working.

Your zope user account has to have the Manager role to install the
ZOA Python script. Also make sure your username and password is
correct. Some Zope features still work with an incorrect 
username/password. (Those that only require read access)

RE: [Boa Constr] wxWindows 2.3.1 != 2.3.0

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

Higher minor revisions can, indeed, break Boa. In fact, 2.3.1 has a nasty
bug - Boa will work, but accelerator keys won't, and there is no known
workaround. Riaan would probably encourage you to stick with 2.3.0 until
2.3.2 is out of beta testing.

I discovered that the current release of Boa checks to be sure that
wxWindows is exactly 2.3.0.  However, I'm using 2.3.1, so it would stop with
an error message.

Since I figure that higher minor revisions shouldn't break Boa, I modified
the code in Boa.py to allow this.   Patch below.  (BTW, is there a better
place to send these?)

Silly me.  Use the Bug tracking system at sourceforge of course...  Sorry

[Boa Constr] Wrong dir for tips.txt in Utils.py

[Warnes, G. R <gre...@gr...>]

When I started up Boa, the tips dialog complained that it couldn't find the
tooltips file in Docs/tips.txt.  It turns out that in the 0.13 CVS, the
location is in data/tips.txt.

Patch Below.

[Boa Constr] Problem losing changes made in inspector

[Warnes, G. R <gre...@gr...>]

When I enter some information into a text field in the "Inspector" window, I
expect that pressing [Enter] will store the information.  However, I have
discovered that in the current CVS version 0.13, this does not occur.
Instead I must explicitly click in another field before the change takes
effect.  If I don't do so, the changes are lost.

If I wasn't so brand new to wxWindows I would go looking for how to fix
this, but at the moment its beyond me.

RE: [Boa Constr] Why aren't Docs in CVS?

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

The docs are released separately and are not very easy to find. Here are
Riaan's instructions from a previous message:

* New help system, completely replacing the old one.
  You'll have to download the help data files from:
  http://boa-constructor.sourceforge.net/Help/Docs.zip
  or
  http://boa-constructor.sourceforge.net/Help/Docs.tar.gz
  and unzip into the Boa root directory.
  The new help system uses the wxHTMLHelpController and contains help
  for Boa, the Boa Guide, Python, wxPython and CVS.
  Each section has contents and indexes.
* Customiseable preference storage.
  If you have an environment variable HOME and your HOME dir has a
  dir called .boa, all config/preference files that Boa maintains
  will be copied here and used from here. This is mainly aimed at linux
  users whose Boas can't update their preferences, but it's useful,
  and it also works on windows.

Subject: [Boa Constr] Why aren't Docs in CVS?


Hi,

I've just gotten started with Boa and I'm very impressed.  I had been trying
to use v0.0.5, until I realized that this was way out of date and grabbed
the new 0.0.13 from CVS.  When I did so, I noticed that the documentation
(Doc/*) was not in the current CVS version.  Is there a particular reason
for this?
