Errors while loading the workbench

[Daniel Jomphe]

When I start up Jedi, I get these two errors dialogs. I just wanted to
report them in case I need to do something about them or in case
they're specific to my system:

Unable to find source for module: project.R4RSTest-Manifest
Unable to find module: jazz.development

Those changes where done a long time ago so I suspect you had Jazz
installed a while ago and this would be a problem with your existing
user profiles.

What happens is that user profiles (packages of the kind
profile.guillaume located in $HOME/jazz_user/lib) are really
templates. They are copied into your jazz_user so you can then modify
them as you which. If changes are later done to the system like in
this case R4RSTest was removed and jazz.development was renamed to
jedi.development, your profiles can actually break.

To fix the problems, just create a new profile and then compare its
directory content (you can use Jedi's Compare Directories tool) to
your broken one. This should help you find out what changed that is
creating problems.

Thanks. Weird, but you're right. What surprises me is the fact that,
in the first place, I got my broken profile out of asking Jedi to
create myself a new profile, inadvertently specifying the same name as
the old one's. So it looks like when one asks Jedi to create a new
profile, it silently reuses any already existing profile that bears
the specified name. (One would expect it to refuse to do such a thing,
or delete the old profile before recreating it.)

Good point! Actually the test is already there but was broken. It's fixed now.
