[ANN] Cappuccino 0.9.6-RC1

[Alexander Ljungberg]

Hello everyone,

We're going to start to prepare Cappuccino 0.9.6 for release. If you're using 0.9.5 and you feel adventurous, please give the v0.9.6 branch a shot and see if it works well for you.

This release will feature IE improvements, continued work on bindings, improvements to nib2cib, split view improvements, new CPGradient support and many other things. We'll have a more complete writeup for the final release but in the meantime all 237 commits can be found here: https://gist.github.com/2209000

To install Cappuccino 0.9.6-RC1:

    curl https://raw.github.com/cappuccino/cappuccino/v0.9.6-RC1/bootstrap.sh >/tmp/cb.sh && bash /tmp/cb.sh

If you are building from source:

    git clone git://github.com/cappuccino/cappuccino.git
    cd cappuccino
    git checkout v0.9.6-RC1
    jake install

If you do encounter any problems, please file a bug report or ask about it here in the mailing list.

Feeling brave, I installed this yesterday. But now nib2cib no longer
works for me. It fails with "Could not compile file". Here's some
output:


rob$ nib2cib -v

HI Rob,
I'm a total beginner, so it might be wrong what I'm going to say, but you you should try Xcodecapp:

http://antoinemercadal.fr/xcodecappcocoa/

afaik, it does the job for you in a completely automated way.

let me know

Hi Rob,

And if you downgrade back to nib2cib from 0.9.5 it works on the same file?

Thanks, I do use Xcodecapp, but it was giving an error with every
save, so I tried nib2cib from the command line to see what was going
on. Error either way. Are you using 0.9.6 without a problem?

Thinking it might be my xib file, I tried a freshly generated project,
but got the same error:

XcodeCapp is using nib2cib under the hood. Do nib2cib -v -v and it will give you more information on why it is failing.

Thanks for the tip! I tried -vvv but didn't get any more info on the
error, should have tried more than one -v.

In the meantime I reverted to 0.9.5 and had the same error. So I went
back to 0.9.6-RC1, did the git fetch/merge/jake clobber/jake install
dance, and now nib2cib works.

Thanks for the help!

You have to use two separate -v arguments.

I'm not seeing this behavior on my system, nib2cib and Xcodecapp seem to be working fine. Have you verified you're using the newly installed capp and nib2cib?

This is what I get:

$ capp --version

cappuccino 0.9.6 (2012-04-02 93cc97)

$ nib2cib --version

nib2cib v0.9.6

I installed via bootstrap but then ran jake install to build the entire environment.

[Cesare Montresor]

I have the same problem nib2cib doesn't work and I also have a problem here... I guess:

capp --version
TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object

nib2cib --version
nib2cib v0.9.6

Ok, I found the problem !
the mother of all the problems apparently is the /Developer directory, on my system was like this:

/Developer <- is where cappuccino is installed
/Developer-3.2.6 <- is where everything else is installed (I guess is like this since xcode 3.2.6)

by looking at /usr/local/narwhal/packages/cappuccino/lib/nib2cib/CommonJS.environment/nib2cib.sj
...
if(OS.popen(["/usr/bin/ibtool",_21,"--compile",_22]).wait()===1){
objj_msgSend(CPException,"raise:reason:",ConverterConversionException,"Could not compile file: "+_21);
}
...
"Could not compile file" error happen if /usr/bin/ibtool fails.
Try to run it in the terminal and see what error do you have.


the fix is something like this:
sudo mv /Developer/* /Developer-3.2.6/
sudo rmdir /Develoepr
sudo ln -s /Developer-3.2.6 /Developer

I hope it will work for you too.

Cheers,
Cesare

PS: i guess that the cappuccino installer should check what's the system Developer folder instead of using /Developer by default.

[Alexander Ljungberg]

Hi,

/Developer isn't used anywhere in Cappuccino. As you can see, the actual path is /usr/bin/ibtool. When you install Xcode 4.3 you need to use xcode-select to make sure these /usr/bin tools are made available.

[Cesare Montresor]

Hi,
that's interesting, I've never done it ! ^_^

so, in case of the same error of mine it might be enough to run:
sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/

apparently now also the "nib2cib -v -v" command produce a verbose output !

thanks :)

[Jeremy Savoy]

What I did was just create a symbolic link for Xcode 4.3:

Developer -> /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

so ...

#> ln - s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer /Developer

This was for another project altogether, but seems to have had an impact on many things.
