Problems with PunQLite

Hello

I have decided to have another try with PunQLite, having failed to get it working before. For the record, I am using Windows 10 Home with all recent updates applied.

I tried the following:

1. Download latest image of Moose 6.1 (Pharo 6.0 Latest update: #60507).
2. Search Catalog Browser for PunQLite, which is flagged as OK for Pharo 6.0, and select ‘Install stable version’.
3. Check that the file unqlite.dll has been installed in the same folder as the image.
4. Run tests in PqDatabaseTests. 30 tests run, all red.
5. Try to run some tests manually. Enter ‘PqDatabase openOnMemory’ and ‘doIt’. Result: ‘Error: External module not found’.

Looking at the Monticello Browser, I see that my image has ConfigurationOfPunQLite(TorstenBergmann.29) and PunQLite-Core(TorstenBergmann.28). This is the version chosen as stable by the Catalog Browser. Have I in fact got the right version? Do I have to do something with the .dll to make it visible to the .ffi call?

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Hello

Just an update on a further test. Going through old e-mails, I saw Esteban Lorenzano’s recommendation to use a different repository to install PunQLite. I used his snippet:

Metacello new 

    repository: '<a href="github://pharo-nosql/PunQLite/repository'">github://pharo-nosql/PunQLite/repository';

    baseline: 'PunQLite';

    load.

to install it in a clean Moose 6.1 image. The results were the same; all tests red, manual test gave error: ‘External module not found’. I suspect it is all a matter of getting the unqlite.dll module where it can be found, but I don’t know where this should be.

Thanks for any help

Hi Esteban

Thanks. That has fixed the immediate problem – the tests in PqDatabaseTests are now all green. The effect is weird, because the downloaded .dll just overwrote the old one, so they are in the same place, but now it works.

I am still getting some PqFetch errors in testing, but I can’t yet give a clear characterisation of the problem. I shall come back when I have some more results.
