Frank Office Hours

[Pete Hodgson]

Franksters,

I'm considering the idea of holding informal Office Hours over Skype where I would be available to help Frank users with whatever problems they might be having. I'd probably do this once a week on Friday.

Is this something people would be interested in? Any thoughts or comments on whether it's a good idea, how to best make it helpful/successful?

Cheers,
Pete

I'd be interested. Had a similar session with folks at GitHub this week and learned a lot!

Thanks,

Hey Pete,

It's definitely an intriguing idea, but I genuinely don't know if it would be popular enough to be successful. My knee-jerk reaction was that when people have problems during the week, they're probably going to try to fix them before Friday, but I could see people coming to office hours for guidance on big-picture topics, like testing strategies. As far as I know, it's not something that many projects do, so the only way to gauge demand is to try it. As long as you have something else to do in case no one calls in, I don't see any reason not to try it.

Hi Pete,

So are you likely to go ahead with this tomorrow?  I haven't seen much interest on the Google Group, but I'd love the opportunity to discus with you the various questions I've posted here this week, plus Issue #203 that I raised.  If nobody else is interested, maybe at least you and I could do a Skype session. I'm available any time before 3pm CDT.

Thanks very much,

Martin

I won't be doing anything this week - I'm actually on vacation at the moment. I was mainly trying to get a sense for whether it's something that's even worth me trying to organize - I would need to co-ordinate between something like this and my 'day job'.

It would be good to have skype call on every 15 days depending on the number of users.

Thanks,

I'd also be interested in participating in office hours, if they are still being considered.

Thanks,

Hi Pete,

I am having a few problem running my Frank tests.

The way I installed was:
sudo gem install frank-cucumber (1.1.12)
> frank setup
Duplicate app target
Add Files -> Frank
Add CFNetwork.framwork linked library
Add "-ObjC" flag to "Other Linker Flags"
Add "-DFRANK" to "Other C Flags"
I also added i386 to Valid Architectures

• When I try to do a frank launch, I receive multiple errors for various files: CompileC build/test.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/test.build/Objects-normal/i386/SupportViewController.o App/Controllers/SupportViewController.m normal i386 objective-c com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler
• If I build/run manually, it runs fine.
• Also, when I try to run frank inspect, it will: run  open http://localhost:37265 from "." but as soon as the browser is displayed, the page returns an error.

Please help. Thanks!

[new Frankified user]

I actually just tried the frank inspect again and it works. I had to restart the app then it worked.

But still having issues with frank launch.

Any help would be great. Thanks!

[new Frankified user]

When I try to do:
Given I launch the app
I receive an error that says invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 (ArgumentError)

Do you know why I am getting this?

Hi Charlotte,

The main issue you have is that you have used both the 'new' and the 'old' way of setting up your project with Frank. The 'new' way is to use `frank setup`, `frank build`, etc. The old way is the messing around with creating a duplicate XCode target, setting build flags, etc. 

I would suggest sticking with just the 'new' way if at all possible. However it sounds like you were having some issues with the `frank build` step. Can you try getting rolling back all the changes you made to XCode (by checking out an older version of the app from source control or something), and then applying *just* the frank setup and frank build steps from scratch. If you get any errors please report them here and we'll work through them.

Cheers,

Pete

Oh and a question I forgot to ask: where did you get the old-style instructions? I'd like to remove those from documentation if possible, to avoid other Frank users getting into the same sort of problem in the future.

So I started all over and just from the command line, used:

frank setup

frank build

During frank build, I got the following errors:

** BUILD FAILED **

The following build commands failed:

CompileC "build/test.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/test.build/Objects-normal/i386/NSDictionary + Additions.o" "App/Other Sources/Categories/NSDictionary + Additions.m" normal i386 objective-c com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler

(2 failures)

It may be failing due to having a ServiceLayer project within this project that it's trying to access:

--serialize-diagnostics "/Users/test/Desktop/testProject/testDirectory/build/test.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/test.build/Objects-normal/i386/NSDictionary + Additions.dia" -c "/Users/test/Desktop/testProject/testDirectory/App/Other Sources/Categories/NSDictionary + Additions.m" -o /Users/test/Desktop/testProject/testDirectory/build/test.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/Ashford.build/Objects-normal/i386/NSDictionary + Additions.o"

BUT when I tried to do run xcodebuild from the command line, it worked fine:

Would you be able to share the full build output?

I emailed it to you. Thanks!

Hi Pete,

I would love to have a one on one skype with you.  I am stuck on the same issue I've been stuck on for about a week working everyday on this.  I can definitely understand how busy you are though.  Let me know if I can skype with you for a few minutes sometime next week.
