trying to run DBXBrowser

Hi, I would like to run Neptuno, the DBXBrowser, as I've gotten DBX tests and Glorps test going green! I am on Max OS X Lion.

When I do-it "DBXBrowser new open", the exception:

MessageNotUnderstood:GLMTabulator>>using:
  [invoked on DBXBrowser variable 'browser' of type GLMTabulator]
called by DBXBrowser>>addConnectionsPanel
called by DBXBrowser>>open

Should GLMTabulator define method using: ? I am new to Smalltalk, sorry for my lack of knowledge. Here is how DBXBrowser>>addConnectionsPanel starts:

addConectionsPanel
	browser showOn: #connections;
		using: [browser tree title: 'Connections'; ...

I can't believe the amount of work that had to happen behind the scenes just to get me to this point! Lots of good stuff going on.

Thank you in advance,

Re: trying to run DBXBrowser

Hi, more information might be nice :)

I've created a new system from just the past few days. Pharo 1.3. From the Metacello repository, I loaded like this:

ConfigurationOfMetacello

Gofer new
 squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
 package: 'ConfigurationOfMetacello';
 load.
(Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfMetacello) perform: #load.

ConfigurationOfOpenDBXDriver

Gofer it
  squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
  package: 'ConfigurationOfOpenDBXDriver';
  load.
(((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfOpenDBXDriver)
  perform: #project) perform: #version: with: #stable) load

OpenDBXDriverTests

Gofer it
 squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
 package: 'OpenDBXDriverTests';
 load.
(((Smalltalk at: #OpenDBXDriverTests)
 perform: #project)
     perform: #version: with: #stable) load

ConfigurationOfGlorpDBX

Gofer it
  squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
  package: 'ConfigurationOfGlorpDBX';
  load.
(((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfGlorpDBX)
  perform: #project)
      perform: #version: with: #stable) load

ConfigurationOfDBXTools

Gofer it
  squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
  package: 'ConfigurationOfDBXTools';
  load.
(((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfDBXTools)
  perform: #project)
      perform: #version: with: #stable) load: 'Phoseydon'

--- note this one is different, takes argument 'Phoseydon'

ConfigurationOfDBXBrowser

Gofer it
   squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
   package: 'ConfigurationOfDBXBrowser';
   load.

(((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfDBXTools) perform: #project) perform: #version: with: #stable) load: 'Neptuno'

Wait a minute: 'ConfigurationOfDBXTools' again???

I tried changing the above snippet to ConfigurationOfDBXBrowser, but I crashed Pharo and changes I made seem gone. Here's where I got that snippet:
dbxtalk.smallworks.com.ar/news/Neptuno-First-Stable-Version-Release

Questions Guillermo asked:
- where did you load the image?
I don't know what this means.
- are you using moose?
I don't think so.
- how did you load the package?
Did I answer this correctly above?

Thank you,
-pamela

Re: trying to run DBXBrowser

Still working through this....
If I change the last Smalltalk snippet to:

(((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfDBXBrowser)
   perform: #project)
       perform: #version: with: #stable) load: 'Neptuno'

I get an exception:

Name not found: Neptuno

I tried:

(((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfDBXBrowser)
  perform: #project)
      perform: #version: with: #stable) load

which seems to load, but

DBXBrowser new open

still give the exception from the top of the thread. How??? [BTW, how do I undo this load, if needed?]

I appreciate any input. Thank you!

Re: trying to run DBXBrowser

Resolved -- thanks to Guillermo!
This morning, I did this:

Gofer it
    squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
    package: 'ConfigurationOfDBXTools';
    load.   
(ConfigurationOfDBXTools project
    version: #stable) load: 'Neptuno'.

and it works like a champ. I can open the DBXBrowser window, I added a connection to work against my local Postgres, but I don't see any other way to test it out. I'm going to stop here and upgrade to Pharo 1.4.

MUCH appreciated!

Re: trying to run DBXBrowser

Great!

I just noticed that they completely revised the DBXtalk pages -- or... maybe I missed this page? (how could I?) Anyway, just in case you missed them. (I doubt it... ... i'm just sayin'.)

http://dbxtalk.smallworks.com.ar/Documentation/compiling-and-installing-opendbx-native-driver/

And I spotted this general "ad". http://www.stic.st/2011/12/dbxtools-magritte-scaffolding-phoseydon/

See, if we can generate Magritte descriptions, that is great. Because from Magritte class descriptions, I can automatically generate html dialogs *and* -- well, i believe so anyway -- Morphic/Polymorphic native dialogs. (Though I only care about the html dialogs.) So... I am tickled to see that this suite generates magritte descriptions!

Good luck, and we'll talk soon!

Oh, yes, and the Download page as some info too.

What is Phoseydon versus Neptuno?

- I have to get ready to go -- my apologies to be handing you links you already have!
