Modifying Style 2008/01/08 19:34 Karma: 0  
Hey Miles

I am trying to modify the "Style 2D bugStyle2D" by changing the bug rule. I
wanted to remove the Evaluate for the color yellow (I chose yellow over red
and black over green for contrast reasons). Even deleting the rule
and trying to rebuild it does not remove the use of yellow from being generated.
The file is not regenerated.

I even delete the style, and recreate it, and the old BugStyle2D file remains.
It appears that it is not being regenerated even after deleting the original
style. I create a new one with a new name, and the model still looks for the old style.

Just and FYI.

Evelyn,

This isn't mentioned anywhere in the so far limited documentation, but the generated Java files are *not* currently deleted. I wanted to be conservative about deleting user resources silently, so until I figure out a good solution or that you will need to delete any generated Java files manually. But the old file should be ignored in the new model so there is probably something else going wrong here. Can you post the metaABM file and I'll take a look..

I am at home right now so I cannot send you my files. However, I wanted to tell you
that I tried deleting the generated files, and then that is when it went downhill.
I could not get the files to regenerate, and I could not get the new files to change.

You could try replicating my problem if you want to do this before tomorrow. What I did
was I created the Style format you specified in the simple example. Then I tried to
remove the Evaluates and then recontruct them without the color. It never regenerated
after that. I tried removing the generated style files, I tried removing the 2D style
and recreating it with a new name, and the newly named style would not generate.

Tomorrow I will send you my metaabm file.

Hey Miles

I will include the file below. I just tried deleting all my generated files and
the .class files. When I try to run, I get

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: The class "org.example.ascape.StupidModel1 could not be found.
at org.ascape.model.ModelRoot.open(ModelRoot.java:846)
at org.ascape.model.ModelRoot.open(ModelRoot.java:856)
at org.ascape.model.ModelRoot.main(ModelRoot.java:1072)
at org.ascape.model.Scape.main(Scape.java:2986)

So it is not being re-generated.

Sorry, I couldn't make that file work because of the line breaks. Can you attach it?

But I do think this may be an issue of as you say of oAW not creating the files properly because of something it couldn't understand. For the short term, I'm going to add better oAW error reporting in the next release (the API for this is a bit opaque so it will take a bit of hacking). For the longer term, as I think I mentioned on the ID post, we need to implement validation (oAW checks) so that Users are alerted when they enter invalid values. (Is this what you meant about Menus in your other post?)

For now you can also see any oAW related issues by examining the console output. I don't know where this ends up on Windows but on Mac you use the Console application.

Hi Miles

Looking at what I previously sent you there is no way it would have worked so
I removed a "method" segment I had been playing around with. I will include
a new version. Problem I am having is I deleted the generated files, and when
I try to run I get

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: The class "org.example.ascape.StupidModel1 could not be found.
