I would really like to. But how can I even identify what is needed or missing? I do know little bout the inner workings of Amber. I can only see that I cannot find some Amber side components used by Tide's demo page. I do not even know if these still exist in the newest Amber tags, or need to be replaced or reconstructed... ************ --> Can you give me a direction of how to make it work by hand? ************ The only way I could emagine from my state of knowledge would be to integrate the existing Amber side Tide components into a new Amber instance, modifying them along the way according to possible changes in Amber. Quite a tedious approach, especially as nothing Tide-ish is supposed to be working at start.
You should then update the old tide seed file tree with the new updated one.
I would really prefer to use the original working configuration as a base line initially and then go for subsequent Amber and Pharo updates. When I follow the Tide installation instructions, the result should be a working base line but it does not work. Who is the culprit? Is there an error in Tide, esp. the demo page, is the Tide seed file tree etc. kaputt, or does bower deliver a wrong configuration (possibly result of the move from git to LOL) or something else? ************ Is there a way to restore the configuration that Tide requests? Or is Tide in an inconsitent state? Why does it not work? ************ On 22.3.2018 at 12:07 AM, herby@mailbox.sk wrote:On March 21, 2018 11:18:42 PM GMT+01:00, in_pharo_users@nym.hush.com wrote:
Hi Esteban, hi Herbert,
so, formally, it is a Tide integration issue now, IMHO.
As I understand it now:
Tide's setup procedure generates a file system out of a Monticello archive and puts Tide related extensions for Amber in it. Then the user is directed to that fs's root to install Amber. (That seems a little odd, as these extensions are to be integrated in the Amber image and seem to have a stonger adhesion there.)
The part of the procedure to install Tide is now invalid relating to Amber.
Should I try the following:
***
I have a brand new allmost perfectly working Amber installation.
I scavenge the elements mentioned by Herbert below and move them to the Tide stub, instead of using the Tide/Monticello generated 'bower install' script.
No, if Tide's approach is to generate a skeleton which only needs to get dependencies, then it is very reasonable approach indeed. The 'amber init' command actually does the same: fills fs from template then runs 'npm install' to get tooling, 'bower install' to get project dependencies, including amber itself, 'grunt' to compile .st files into .js files and 'grunt devel' to set up environment to development mode loader. 'That seems a little odd, as these extensions are to be integrated in the Amber image' not odd at all as there is no true image - that whole filetree is 'the source for the image build' and actual 'image' only exists at runtime by loading all components into memory. Amber is just another library to load. So if tide indeed fills fs with all the needed pieces so it then only needs a few 'load deps' steps, then make it work by hand, then simply remove all transient pieces (node_modules/, bower_components/, config.js, src/*.js) and you have nice new state in which it should all start. You should then update the old tide seed file tree with the new updated one.
Then run 'grunt devel'. Is this all I need?
Is there a way to explicitly describe the objects I need? Or is there a way to check what exactly is missing?

But would it not be a better approach to update the Tide setup procedure? How would that work? Kind regards,

new project using `amber init` and only move the needed pieces (src/*.st files, .amd.json files, lists of packages in deploy.js / testing.js /
devel.js / Gruntfile.js) to the new structure).
Also "searched in bower path" is wrong, paths are mapped differently,
using .amd.json files (which I think are set correctly), but of course, `grunt devel` must be run at least once for mapping to happen (it is run as part of `amber init`, so new project is set up fine; but in case .amd.json files are changed, it should be rerun).

Hi Esteban,
after I got Amber running separately, I set up Tide according to
https://github.com/tide-framework/tide ; readme.md
Everything went fine so far, but after the page loaded, Helios did not pop. Blank page.
So I looked into the page source and, suspiciously, at line 18 I found
****
require( [ "amber/devel", "amber/helpers", "tide/Tide-Amber-Core", "tide/Tide-Amber-Exceptions", "tide/Tide-Amber-Examples", "tide/Tide-Amber-Tests" ], function (smalltalk) { smalltalk.initialize({defaultAmdNamespace: 'tide'}); smalltalk.popupHelios(); } ****
I searched for all required paths in the bower path, but could not find only the first two.
Can you kindly give me a hint how to proceed to get it running?
Kind regards,
basket
