#44 Guido does not load the ProjectManager

[Anonymous]

After fixing those missing '-'s, which was not a very hard
job, guido starts but doesn't load the ProjectManager
properly with the following error message:

Initialization of plugin ProjectManager failed: Can't call
method "entryconfigure" on an undefined value
at /usr/local/guido/bin/../lib/Guido/Plugin/ProjectManager.pm
line 729

I had a go to track it down, but without success so far and I
won't have the time to right now. I'll tell you if I find out what
the problem is.

Thanks and regards,

I have found the reason to this problem and it's rather
anoying. However:

The reason can be found if you run guido.pl with

perl guido.pl trace_level 5 trace_window 1

There is a lot of Tk-pack-option that are entered as "fill",
"anchor" and so on, insted of "-fill", "-anchor" and so on.

The fist place to edit is the bin/guido_config.cfg. Each
plugin has an entry where there are a few pack-options:

IE: <plugin class_name="ProjectManager"
pack="side=left;anchor=nw;fill=y" plugin_name="Project
Manager" />

This should be changed to: <plugin
class_name="ProjectManager"
pack="-side=left;-anchor=nw;-fill=y" plugin_name="Project
Manager" />

And so on for each plugin specified in the config-file.

The second thing you have to do is to go to lib/Guido/ and
here search for "anchor", "expand" and "fill" and find Tk
pack-options in the .pm's that isn't prefixed with a "-".
It's a job that'll be done in a sec with grep (=

Now you're ready to roll!
