[udig-devel] walkthrough bugs
|
Hi guys,
I experienced a number of bugs with uDIG 1.2 M2 going through walkthrough 1, and wondered if I should report them to JIRA. The other guys working on windows seemed to have less trouble, so this could be very specific to my environment, Ubuntu 7.10. Also the bugs are the kind of thing anyone doing the walkthrough would experience, so I suspect they are not often experienced by others. I'll list them here, and will only add them to JIRA if you think it is appropriate:
Main menu bar is missing most items. I have File, Edit, Natigation, Add Element, Window, Help. I the screenshots I see File, Edit, Navigation, Layer, Map, Data, Window, Help. So I loose three (Layer, Map, Data) and gain one (Add Element). Luckily all cases where the walkthrough expected these menu items, there were alternatives in the toolbar or context menus for the same actions.
Add PostGIS Data works but requires serious tricks. Firstly when I get to the form that asks for the database name, typing in that field writes backwards. Each keystroke appears to be followed by an automatic cursor left movement, so typing 'demo-bc' results in 'cb-omed'. If I type it backwards I almost get it right, but for some reason have to type 'c-bomed' because the '-' moves itself again. Super weird. Then if I press next or finish like in the instructions, nothing happens, just a flicker of the button. I found I had to press 'list' first and then next or finish would work fine.
Reprojection is missing the requested NAD83 projection. Search for 42304 yields nothing and a search for NDA83 gives a long list with nothing that looks like the required NAD83 / NRC projection. The only NAD83 projection with the word 'Canada' in it was 'NAD83 / Statistics Canada Lambert'. The WKT for this differed in many places from the expected CRS, but both were lambert, so I used this in the walkthrough.
Update Sites list is empty, but the walkthrough expects three, JGrass, uDIG 1.1 updates and UWB updates.
Cheers, Craig
