uninitialized constant OrigenTesters - origen-sdk

I am working on transferring one application from rgen to Origen.
I added environment/j750.rb in my application.
added the below code into j750.rb
# environment/j750.rb
$tester = OrigenTesters::J750.new
in Target folder, I also added $test as below:
$tester = OrigenTesters::J750.new
however, when I tried to generate pattern, it still failed and showed'uninitialized constant OrigenTesters'.
When and how to initialize it?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Normally this is something that Origen users don't particularly need to worry about, if you add:
gem 'origen_testers'
to your application's Gemfile, then it will be required automatically and a reference like OrigenTesters in your environment file or anywhere else will just work.
However, I note that you mention upgrading from an rgen app, which means that your application must be very old and in fact may not even have a Gemfile.
If you contact me internally I can send you the link to our intranet page which has a guide on how to update these really old apps.

Creating a windows shortcut (.lnk) in Linux with spaces in the argument to a network share

I am needing to use Puppet to create windows shortcuts on hosts to be accessed via SAMBA. The Puppet side I'll be fine with, it's the script I've been having issues getting working.
I've tried to use:
mslink_v1.3.sh (http://www.mamachine.org/mslink/index.en.html)
pylnk3.py (https://pypi.org/project/pylnk3)
lnk.py (https://github.com/blacklanternsecurity/mklnk)
mslink_v3.sh on first look covers it all, with the exception of what I need to do. Similar with pylnk3.sh and lnk.sh working together, just a different reason for it not to work.
I am trying to create a windows shortcut to a network location with a argument with a space in it. Example below:
Path to exe = \\myhostname\program.exe
Argument = \\myhostname\program.ini loadabc
mslink_v3.sh will not let me surround the argument in single or double quotes, but works fine for network locations. pylnk3.sh/lnk.sh will not work for network locations, argument with spaces are ok via quotes. I did find in the end a code reference in pylink3.sh that network locations have not been implemented yet.
I've not found away to contact the developer of mslink_v3.sh to see about a tweak. I was going to comment on his post on this site, but I did not have enough points (hoping this post may give me enough).
Any suggestions at this point would be good.
Thanks
Matt
I contacted the developer of pylnk3.py via GitHub. He's added network support and also added all the cli support that lnk.py added.

Suave with netcoreapp2.0

I've been following this Suave tutorial:
https://legacy.gitbook.com/book/theimowski/suave-music-store/details
And in general this looks good. However, I was trying to make it work with Linux and for some reason I was unable to compile it with code when TargetFramework was set to "net461" (Target Framework not found), so I tried changing it to "netcoreapp2.0". It compiled, but I hit a problem later on:
https://theimowski.gitbooks.io/suave-music-store/content/en/css.html
At the end it says to add a WebPart:
pathRegex "(.*)\.(css|png)" >=> Files.browseHome
which fails for me. All compiles, but I get
This page isn’t working
localhost didn’t send any data.
I took a look at Suave's source code and it turned out that "Files.browseHome" searches for a file under "ctx.runtime.homeDirectory".
I noticed that this is set on my machine to:
/home/<my_user_name>/.nuget/packages/suave/2.2.1/lib/netstandard1.6
and obviously, that's not my project directory, so no wonder it couldn't find the file.
My question here is: what shall I do in order to make my Suave app handle my css/png files correctly using Files.browseHome ?
EDIT:
Just found out that replacing the WebPart with:
pathRegex "(.*)\.(css|png)" >=> Files.browse "/home/<my_username>/<path_to_my_project>/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.0/"
works fine, but it looks ugly. Any idea how to make it better ? Basically I don't want to be forced to hardcode the absolute path anywhere.
I think the answer is to be found in https://suave.io/files.html, which suggests creating a config as follows:
let config =
{ defaultConfig with homeFolder = Some (Path.GetFullPath "./public") }
The path returned by Path.GetFullPath will depend on the current working directory that your app sees when it's started (which will, in turn, depend on how you start the app: from the command line, from a systemd unit file, etc.) There are too many possible variables here for me to be able to give you exact instructions, but if your startup method can cd into an appropriate folder before starting your Suave server, then that should solve your problem.
If you run into difficulties with getting the current working directory set correctly, then you could just hardcode the full path in the config:
let config =
{ defaultConfig with homeFolder = Some "/home/<your_username>/<path_to_your_project>/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.0/" }
But that's kind of ugly, and not really portable (you'd have to modify that path again once you deploy the app). So I'd recommend the approach of making sure your start script does a cd to the right location, then using Path.GetFullPath with a relative path. Alternately, you could have a config file that gets read in at app startup where you specify the home path, or pass it in as an environment variable... All kinds of possibilities. Just make sure that your code can be handed some information on startup that specifies the correct "home" folder, and then put that in your Suave config as I've shown, and that should solve it.

MKS Integrity: Getting content of archive (dropped member)

I know that I can use the CLI command si viewrevision to get the content of a versioned file. Downside is that this file must not be dropped.
Does anyone know a way (other than addfromarchive) to get the content when knowing the archive?
I don't believe this is possible
si projectco is documented as "checks out members of a project into working files". If you drop the member from the project, it is no longer part of the project.
At first blush, si viewrevision doesn't explicitly state in the documentation that it requires a project, but if you try to run the command without a project (or a sandbox, which implies a project), you will be prompted for one. Failing to provide one at the prompt exits the command with the message 'A value for "--project" is required.' I tried doing this specifying a change package ID which the member was part of, and that still doesn't work.
Your si addfromarchive option is the only published way to do this.
Disclosure: I am a PTC employee.
Why not use add from archive?
You could also use a temporary server location (S:/Server/prj_tmp/project.pj)
as destination and the member will stay dropped in the original project.
(Ok, ok, someone could create a sandbox from S:/Server/prj_tmp/project.pj and generate new versions in the archive of the dropped member, ad/delete labels ...)
There might be another possibility if your project has a checkpoint where the file was not yet dropped.
Just create a build sandbox with the project revision of that checkpoint and then:
C:\BuildSandboxes\prjA\src> si viewrevision ..... :)
.
You might also use something like
C:\Sandboxes\prjA\src> si configuresubproject --subprojectRevision=1.2 --type=build project.pj
view your revision and then go back with
C:\Sandboxes\prjA\src> si configuresubproject --type=default project.pj
but this might affect user that are currently working on the project. (eg. they would not be able to check in while the subproject is configured as build)

InstallShield: How can single custom actions be tested?

(I'm using InstallShield2012 V.18)
In setup.rul I defined a function per prototype declaration, included the file with the function definition and compiled it successfully (InstallShield compile).
Now I'd like to test this function (only).
I don't want to run the whole installation, not even test (Ctrl-T) because I want to avoid a complete re-build which takes too long time to do it often.
Is there a way to test only the custom function in InstallShield or per command line?
Not really although I can give you some tips.
Create a dummy feature with a release flag of DEVONLY.
Create a dummy component for that feature.
Create a ProductConfiguration that builds a single MSI with no EXE and a release flag of DEVONLY.
Building this production configuration will be very fast. A couple seconds on my laptop with an SSD. You can selectivly include other features through the use of release flags if you need certain components in order to setup the test environment for your CA.
Another strategy is to develop your CA in a test harness project and then transplant the code into your real installer when you know it all works.
Christopher, thanks for this fast reply. I have to put my answer here because commenting was restricted, because too long.
I also thought about using such a workaround but first wanted to avoid it if possible.
But ok, now I tried these steps, 1 and 2 no problem, but 3: InstallShield didn't allow me to configure a Product Configuration without Setup.exe in my .ism file (although we have IS2012 Pro).
Then I tried to do it in a Basic MSI Project (is that what you meant?), which really builds in very short time. And now I can see my scripting during Test Release, yeah :-)
To "transplant" my script now to the main ism I'm missing an export function for .rul files as it exists for custom actions, but there is only a import. So I will have to copy-paste while switching between ism files, but never mind.

Getting echofunc.vim to work

I came across echofunc.vim today (from a link in SO). Since I'm rubbish at remembering the order of function parameters, it looked like a very useful tool for me.
But the documentation is a bit lean on installation! And I've not been able to find any supplementary resources on the internet.
I'm trying to get it running on a RHEL box. I've copied the script into ~/.vim/plugin/echofunc.vim however no prompt when I type in a function name followed by '('. I've tried adding
let g:EchoFuncLangsUsed = ["php","java","cpp"]
to my .vimrc - still no prompting.
I'm guessing it needs to read from a dictionary somewhere - although there is a file in /usr/share/vim/vim70/ftplugin/php.vim, this is the RH default and does not include an explicit function list.
I'm not too bothered about getting hints on the functions/methods I've defined - just trying to get hints for the built-in functions. I can see there is a dictionary file available here which appears to provide the resources required for echofunc.vim, I can't see how I set this up.
TIA,
It expects a tags file, the last line of the description describes exactly how to generate it:
ctags -R --fields=+lS .
It works here with PHP but not with JS. Your mileage may vary.
I didn't know about this plugin, thanks for the info.
You should try phpcomplete.vim, it shows a prototype of the current function in a scratchpad. It is PHP only, though.
