mr.developer - trying to work on gs code to change IOGN profile field names: GroupServer development: GroupServer

Dear Michael

I’d like to change the names (or rather text values) of some IOGN profile
fields, e.g. “Primary Language” I’d like to be “Hospital” - I’ve edited
Products/GSProfile/interfaceSiteProfile.py accordingly:

class IOGNProfile(IGSCoreProfile):
"""Profile for a user of OnlineGroups.Net
"""
primary_language = TextLine(title='Hospital',
description=u'Your primary spoken language.',
required=False,
default=u’')

I then run ./bin/buildout -N and the result is a lot gets uninstalled! e.g. no
“instance” in bin. (log at
https://gist.github.com/newmedicine/d3edb1396c1112bbd202de87ee71604c)

I git reset —hard to last working commit and all good - but how will achieve my
aim? Tried following
http://groupserver.readthedocs.io/en/master/development.html but have no
“develop” binary (in ./bin/ or elsewhere).

I really do think I can get GS to do what I want - can I have some tips to set
me on the right path please?

Many thanks

Nick

Things disappears because the buildout fails because there is a issue
with the code. There is a cascade of fail that gets in the way of
seeing the issue.

What I'd do first is check out the Products.GSProfile product as a
"development egg"
http://groupserver.readthedocs.io/en/master/development.html#usage
Then (after the build) you should only need a restart to see each
change.

As to the *specific* issue, I think I can see it: the schema needs
Unicode strings, beginning with "u" like this
hospital = TextLine(
title=u'Hospital',
description=u'Your primary hospital.',
required=False,
default=u'')
Your code was missing the "u" from the title.

Most GroupServer code now has at the top
from __future__ import unicode_literals
so u"" is unnecessary, as all strings are Unicode. However,
Products.GSProfile is an old doomed product that I would eventually
like to see binned, so I never bothered to clean it up. Sorry.

OK - installed mr.developer, added SSH key to github, cloned
Products.GSProfile. Then - failed to buildout -N again with same ‘uninstall’
effect as before (same errors - log, and state of ./bin/:
https://gist.github.com/newmedicine/883c8ec997cca1bba0d7472334e86915)

Sorry - I mis-pasted into email - but it wasn’t missing from the code, and
buildout errors still result

I’m getting ever closer …

Nick

My bad:
$ buildout -n -c site.cfg install

Thanks for the pull-request, Nick. They have been merged in with the
GroupServer code, and Read the Docs has built it as part of the
"Latest" version
