Problems running 0.7 site-author

I'm just preparing new instructions for getting started with Forrest 0.7
for a presentation and I'm running into a strange kind of problem:

Here is what I did

- Download Forrest 0.7
- Set Environment and Path for Windows XP
- cd to site-author
- execute "forrest run"
- try localhost:8888 in my browser

What I get is this:

Any ideas why this is happening in a tested and released version?
Quick fixes?

Thanks,
Ferdinand

Yes please. Making it work that way would be a lot better than a new 0.7
release ...

OK, I think I have it, but I am going from memory, I do not have time to 
cross check with the code. So my assumptions will need to be tested by 
someone using 0.7 *and* someone using 0.8:

When I rewrote the plugin download mechanism for 0.8 I made both the 
unversioned and the versioned plugins be downloaded from a subdirectory 
identified by the Forrest version number, i.e.

http://forrest.apache.org/plugins/0.7/
http://forrest.apache.org/plugins/0.8/

However, in 0.7 the unversioned plugins came from the root of the plugin 
download dir:

http://forrest.apache.org/plugins

So, if we replace the plugin zips in the root directory with versions 
compatible with 0.7 everything will be fine. in other words, copy

http://forrest.apache.org/plugins/0.7/org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo.zip

to

http://forrest.apache.org/plugins/org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo.zip

Any chance you could do this and test it out?

Sorry I fired that off too quickly. Should have thought first.

The built 0.1 version works with forrest 0.7 so no need to rebuil it.

Now let me think about what we need to do to make this work. More to 
follow...

Another alternative would be to build a copy of the projectInfo plugin 
that will work in 0.7 an put it in the right location so it is 
downloaded by the 0.7 release.

If you can roll back SVN to just before the version number of the plugin 
was increased to 0.2 and build it, we can then deploy it.

I have no time to do a release, but I will test/sign a zip and a tarball 
if someone gets to it.

BUT

I would rather see a 0.8 release done.

Thanks for the pointer David.
I fixed and committed that.
So how about generating a new 0.7-release some time soon?
I really don't like the idea that the first thing people try - generate
docs - will fail in the released version.

You are using a plugin that has been upgrade to use the locationmap that 
is only available in 0.8.

Unfortunately, the version management of plugins in 0.7 had a bug that 
means when retrieving an unversioned plugin it will always retrieve the 
most recent rather than the most recent for the version of Forrest being 
run.

You need to add a version number to the project-info plugin (I'm pretty 
sure that is the one with the problem). Search the user list for this issue.
