New issue 322 by norbert.hartl: Loading seaside 3.0.6.3 in fresh extent  
fails
http://code.google.com/p/glassdb/issues/detail?id=322

When installing a fresh 2.4.4.1 GemStone and using a extent0.seaside.dbf  
extent loading of seaside 3.0.6 fails. I load it via


       MCPlatformSupport autoCommit: true.
       MCPlatformSupport autoMigrate: true.
       MCPlatformSupport commitOnAlmostOutOfMemoryDuring: [
          ConfigurationOfGLASS project updateProject.
          ConfigurationOfGLASS project latestVersion load ].

       ConfigurationOfMetacello project updateProject.
       ConfigurationOfMetacello project latestVersion load.

       Gofer new
          squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
          package: 'ConfigurationOfSeaside30';
          load.

       MCPlatformSupport commitOnAlmostOutOfMemoryDuring: [
          ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfSeaside30) project  
version: '3.0.6.3') load.
       ].

The result is that it complains about #'stable' not being defined in  
ConfigurationOfGsOB. Trace is attached

Norbert,

Did you upgrade GLASS before trying to load Seaside?

If you are starting from a virgin extent0.seaside.dbf in 2.4.4.1, you  
should upgrade GLASS before trying to load Seaisde. The following script  
should be used to upgrade GLASS if you are not using the Update GLASS menu  
item from GemTools:

You can see in my load snipper there is

MCPlatformSupport commitOnAlmostOutOfMemoryDuring: [
          ConfigurationOfGLASS project updateProject.
          ConfigurationOfGLASS project latestVersion load ].

So I would assume that glass was upgraded before

Yeah, I created the wiki page[1], because it's just not that easy to  
upgrade GLASS from an arbitrary point in time. It is difficult to upgrade  
Metacello when Metacello is involved in the upgrade process...Metacello  
depends upon Monticello and OB, but Monticello and OB can't be upgraded  
until Metacello is upgraded...

I've tried various tricks and hacks, but in the end, you have to "manually"  
upgrade Metacello before you can reliably upgrade GLASS.

The second set of difficulties arise when you consider that Monticello is  
used to upgrade Monticello and there are bug fixes to Monticello in later  
versions, so you have to load Monticello (and friends) BEFORE you get the  
bugfixes ...

Someday both Monticello and Metacello will be completely stable and the  
older versions will become ancient history and then simple upgrades will be  
possible:)

Ok, I've integrated to mentioned script and it works

Hi Dale,

Hernan,

Ah, that looks like Issue308 ...

Usually Metacello loads a new version of a configuration if the desired version isn't present, but if the configuration is dirty, Metacello won't load over the dirty configuration, so you end up with an error ...

There was a bug in Monticello that would end up dirtying packages that were just loaded and Grease was one of the configurations that would get itself dirtied that way ...

This bug combined with Metacello not overwriting dirty packages is trouble:)

Dale

| Hi Dale,
| I tried to load seaside 3.0.6.3 on a fresh extent and I got an error
| because ConfigurationOfGrease did not have the version 10.0.6.4
| I loaded ConfigurationOfGrease latest version by hand and tried
| again. Now it looks like it is working
