| downtown_dave: do you have Visual Studio? | |
| Samboug: yeah... | |
| downtown_dave: aha | |
| downtown_dave: so in bp-tutorial-cpp1/src/build | |
| downtown_dave: there's a .vcproj/sln pair | |
| downtown_dave: for VS | |
| downtown_dave: and a makefile for osx gcc | |
| downtown_dave: and the VS we use is VS08 SP1... | |
| Samboug: k | |
| Samboug: k | |
| Samboug: lemme check that out | |
| downtown_dave: we could try to get your scenario working | |
| downtown_dave: it's unusual, but shouldn't be illegal | |
| Samboug: that would be sweet | |
| downtown_dave: you don't like the mighty VS eh? | |
| downtown_dave: (better debugger) | |
| Samboug: haha | |
| Samboug: well, I just like to be able to use same framework on my linux and windows box | |
| Samboug: hate to keep switching | |
| downtown_dave: I see | |
| Samboug: k bro | |
| downtown_dave: we could beef up the #ifdef to check for VC | |
| Samboug: it took 10 seconds to get it compile in VS | |
| downtown_dave: but you still have some kind of isssue in your makefile | |
| downtown_dave: hey! | |
| downtown_dave: that sounds promising | |
| Samboug: but I still think we should fix it for gcc | |
| Samboug: dont you think? | |
| downtown_dave: yep | |
| downtown_dave: writing that down now | |
| Samboug: cool! | |
| downtown_dave: I'll file a bug for that | |
| downtown_dave: I suppose we could have a gcc-windows makefile | |
| Samboug: sweet. can you cc me in it? it samboug@yahoo-inc ? | |
| downtown_dave: yes I'll cc you | |
| Samboug: great bro! thank you! | |
| downtown_dave: no prob Samboug | |
| Samboug: hey | |
| Samboug: so I got the example to run great on the console | |
| Samboug: and I am trying to get it to run in my browser | |
| Samboug: I am using the sample code in http://browserplus.o |
|
| Samboug: by replacing the textToSpeach with HelloWorld | |
| Samboug: and I can't the browser to detect the HelloWorld corelett | |
| steve|s: did you run ServiceInstaller on it? | |
| Samboug: yup | |
| Samboug: and I ran it using the ServiceRunner | |
| steve|s: try service runner? http://browserplus.org/explore/ | |
| steve|s: (i mean service explorer) | |
Samboug: also that link should be updated in the tutorial  |
|
| steve|s: it was | |
| Samboug: ok, I dont see the Helloworld listed | |
| steve|s: then it probably wasn't installed | |
| Samboug: does that mean it didnt get installed? | |
| steve|s: yep, if you don't see it, it's not there | |
| Samboug: service initialized: HelloWorld v1.0.0 | |
| Samboug: installing service locally: HelloWorld, ver 1.0.0 | |
| Samboug: HelloWorld 1.0.0 validated and installed in 0.343s | |
| steve|s: hmm | |
| Samboug: thats the output I got | |
| steve|s: services on windows installed around here: | |
| steve|s: \Users\<user>\AppData\Lo |
|
| steve|s: do you see other Services in service explorer? | |
| Samboug: I c my HelloWorld in it | |
| Samboug: should I restart the browser? | |
| steve|s: sure | |
| steve|s: (in theory no) | |
| Samboug: still not there... | |
| steve|s: what about other services? | |
| steve|s: you should see list (in service explorer) of 20+ services | |
| Samboug: yup | |
| Samboug: I see bunch of services including MediaCorelett that I am using for messenger | |
| Samboug: by the way | |
| Samboug: > a | |
| Samboug: 1 | |
| Samboug: > i greet '{"name":worldd |
|
| Samboug: couldn't parse json:lexical error: invalid char in json text. | |
| Samboug: {"name":worlddddddd& |
|
| Samboug: (right here) ------^ | |
| Samboug: > i greet '{"name":" |
|
| Samboug: Hello, worlddddddd! | |
| Samboug: this is the output from running ServiceRunner | |
| Samboug: so I know it works | |
| steve|s: can you run other services from service explorer? | |
| steve|s: say FileChecksum | |
| Samboug: yup | |
| Samboug: just ran textToSpeech | |
| steve|s: see any html errors in console? | |
| Samboug: nope | |
| Samboug: it looks fine | |
| steve|s: if you go to the config panel (something like Start Menu / Program Files / Yahoo BrowserPlus / Configure BrowserPlus) and click services, do you see your service? | |
| steve|s: also look on Permissions tab ... is there a DENY for your service? | |
| Samboug: I dont see it listed | |
| Samboug: and I dont see any DENY | |
| Samboug: should I restart my machine? | |
| Samboug: this is weird... | |
| steve|s: i don't know what else to suggest | |
| Samboug: ok. thanks for trying | |
| downtown_dave: that's weird, his issue | |
| downtown_dave: let's see helloworld wouldn't ask for any perms | |
| downtown_dave: he can run from service runner, he pasted his install output, but explore doesn't see it.... | |

| sprasanna: I am getting this error but i have no idea how to fix it "Couldn't run service because I couldn't find an appropriate installed provider service." | |
| July 19, 2010 | |
| steve|s: sprasanna - fix to service provider error is to install a service that uses Ruby ... this triggers the Ruby service to download. Run this demo: http://browserplus.org/demo/photodrop/ then try running your service. | |
| steve|s: it's a chicken+egg problem | |

| sprasanna: I am trying to run the sample codes shipped with sdk but I am getting this error "Couldn't run service because I couldn't find an appropriate installed provider service." | |
| sprasanna: i have no idea how to fix this... i ve been struggling with this for more than week.. it would be awesome if someone helps me to fix this | |
| steve|s: sprasanna, you there? | |
| sprasanna: steve|s: yep | |
| sprasanna: i have a problem | |
| sprasanna: I posted it here http://developer.yah |
|
| steve|s: problem you're seeing is that you need ruby interpreter service | |
| sprasanna: it says I have RubyInterpreter v. 4.2.6 installed. | |
| sprasanna: it says so when I visit http://browserplus.org/docs/service_dev/ruby_tutorial.html | |
| steve|s: you're developing a ruby service, right? when you develop a service, the ruby service is not automatically downloaded. | |
| sprasanna: oh | |
| sprasanna: how to get it ? | |
| steve|s: so run a demo that uses ruby service and then it will be fetched ... | |
| steve|s: http://browserplus.org/demo/photodrop/ | |
| steve|s: i'll run thru the ruby tutorial a little later and make sure it is still accurate | |
| steve|s: on OS X, you can see what services are installed here: | |
| steve|s: ~/Library/Application Support/Yahoo!/BrowserPlus/Ser |
|
| steve|s: you should see your service plus RubyInterpreter | |
