Errors during new app creation in 0.6

[hpoit]

Hi Adrian! I would appreciate your help!
https://gist.github.com/hpoit/6a036f8f562c9f7abb95aeb3124e788b

Version changes have been happening at the speed of light, I'm busy just keeping up with them.

[wr125]

Please note the following error message below (using windows 10, 64bit, Julia and juno installed and both seem to be working fine).

(Note: tried both juno's console and Julia's native terminal but unresolved)

Finally, I know the first issue I received was an incomplete install of Gumbo, which lead to failing to run the following server;

Go to the Packages → Julia → Open Terminal menu and
run Pkg.update()in Julia, then try again.
If you still see an issue, please report it to:
https://discourse.julialang.org/

Extra note; since the recent file update - within Juno's bottom left corner (label: console) we have a continual loop of what appears to be julia's server feed running in the background which wrongfully seen as continued updates. But julia's server ends upon ending the session on the menu list above and by clicking; stop julia (message) "Julia has stopped". Also, checked the server 0.0.0.0:8000... and at localhost:8000 to make sure but nothing.

[hpoit]

Hi @wr125, could you open a new issue, as your issue is not the same as mine? I would appreciate it. Cheers.

[essenciary]

@hpoit I haven't yet released a version of Genie for Julia 0.6 - the master is still on 0.5.

Looking at the stacktrace it looks like an error in one of the dependency packages, AbstractTrees - used in Gumbo - which is in turn used by Genie. So deep down the dependency stack.

You can try using Gumbo and open a new issue directly with the maintainer of the package, he's very helpful.

Now that 0.6 is out I'll prepare a new release for 0.6 in the next few days. But such issues with dependencies will be hard to address.

[essenciary]

@wr125 It seems that in the beginning there were different problems with the dependencies.

For the more recent issue, indeed, there is a problem with loading the app on windows. The app was successfully created, but loading it doesn't work. I'll release a patch in the next few days.

Until then you can just do this:

1. if you're in Juno just restart the Julia server
2. cd() into the Genie app's folder
3. include("genie.jl")

That should bootstrap the app.

Sorry for the troubles, I'll look into it ASAP.

[hpoit]

Thanks Adrian, I got it to work in 0.5.2, I should be good for now. Cheers.

@hpoit Glead to hear it 👍

Console runtime (Julia server) continually running in background has now been resolved.

[wr125]

Correct me if i'm wrong but the loading.jl file is trying to retrieve a direct file path that is not stated (undefined)! If so, where would the string "C://....." be placed? Also, looks like the initial install of Julia's terminal directory is stored "C://JuliaPro-0.5./" where the web development environment boots from "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\JuliaPro-0.5.2.2" and so here is where we get this conflict?!!

[wr125]

Ubuntu!!!

[essenciary]

@wr125 The workflow in the documentation is 100% *nix based - so macos and linux only. That would not work for windows, I need to update it.

However, I have good news - I just finished adding support for windows for creating and starting Genie apps.

1 - please try again creating a new app, it should just work. Please let me know if that's not the case, I tested on Win 10, all good

2 - once you have the new app created, in bin/ you'll find new repl.bat and server.bat which are windows' version of shell scripts. You can just double click them to start an interactive Genie REPL or the web server respectively.

3 - from Juno or any other already running Julia environment, in order to load your existing Genie app, you need to:
a. cd(...) into the root folder of your app
b1. if you are not using Genie just include("genie.jl")
b2. if you are using Genie, the include(...) approach won't work, you'll need to run Genie.REPL.run_repl_app() which spawns the Genie REPL as a separate process

Let me know how this works for you.

[essenciary]

@wr125 I've added extra instructions to run on Windows on the repo's README page
