Getting Started

I tried using NPanday a few years ago, but gave up because there were
just too many problems for it to actually be useful.

I am trying to give NPanday another chance, but I am once again just
running into nothing but problems. The instructions for getting started
are broken.

Is this project still active? Is there anyone maintaining it? Does
anyone have a set of getting started instructions that actually makes
sense, and has been tested?

Sincerely, Eric

Well, my main pain point, as I had before years ago, is that the
documentation is way too complex, there is just too much to read, to
many steps too follow, and the steps are all over the place.

I would be happy to help with the documentation, if I actually
understood what was necessary in getting started.

The other aspect of the documentation is that there is too much of it
because not enough of the setup is automated. If more of the setup was
automated, then there would be less to document. For example, the
removing old versions narrative should be unnecessary.

Cheers, Eric

Hi Eric,

We're about to start pushing for a new release, and definitely need to update the site with more up to date instructions. You can follow that on the dev list.

What particular things are you bumping into, or what use case are you looking for specifically? Happy to help out here and take that feedback into the documentation.

Cheers,
Brett

I am using NPanday daily.

What version of NPanday you are using?

NPanday version 1.4 comes with several bugs, it doesn't work properly.

You should get the latest snapshot version for testing NPanday as the
following link:

https://archiva-repository.apache.org/archiva/repository/snapshots/org/apach
e/npanday/npanday-installer/1.5.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT/


Best Rgds,

Tom

try to make your own pom.xml, it is easy to create one from sketch.

Want to configure your own nexus server for adding remote repository?

don't need to configure settings.xml, just try to add an "Proxy Repository"
for " Aduna Software " on Nexus server admin console.
see the Nexus user guide for more information.

Best Rgds,

Tom

No, the guide is not very clear on many topics. In particular, there are few
things better than a concrete example, as prototypes are often open to
ambiguous interpretation. In general it is useful to have both prototype
examples, and concrete examples.

I tried using

mvn archetype:generate
-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-dotnet-simple
-DarchetypeGroupId=npanday

  but that prints a list of 930 archetypes, and asks me to pick one. Not
very user friendly, and when I enter "npanday" it does not find anything.

I tried configuring that remote repository into the settings.xml file and my
nexus server, but that does not seem to work. Here is what I put in my
settings.xml

           <repository>
               <releases>
                   <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>

               <name>Aduna Software</name>
<url>http://repository.aduna-software.org/maven2/</url>
           </repository>

Is there something else I should be configuring there?

The extensions lets the plugin hook in "earlier" and add packaging types and
corresponding lifecycle maps (means map initialize, compile, deploy, ++ to a
set of plugins)

Yes, this is currently configured within this file: plugins/maven-test-plugin/src/main/java/npanday/plugin/test/TesterMojo.java

It would certainly be worthwhile adjusting that so that console can be passed as an option, if you're interested in taking a peek at it.

Yes, thanks, I did find the results under target\nunit-reports

Often when I am troubleshooting tests I put lots of logging in them to 
see what is going on, and it is just more convenient to run 'mvn test' 
from the console and look at the output, without having to check file 
afterwards.

I tried using

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.npanday.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-test-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.5.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>

</parameters>
</configuration>
</plugin>

but that does not seem to override the nunit-console arguments.

Hi Eric,

I realised this didn't get an answer - the output will be in the RESULTS file you see described in the command line. That's equivalent to the Java Surefire plugin's "redirect output" configuration.

And there is no console output from my tests. Is there something special 
I have to configure in my pom.xml to get the console output? I cannot 
seem to find any documentation for

<groupId>org.apache.npanday.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-test-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.5.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT</version>

Whereas when I run

    nunit-console target\test-assemblies\csharp-windows-elevate-test.dll

Directly my test output appears on the console. When I run 'mvn test' on 
my Java projects, there is console output from the tests by default. 
Maybe the expected behavior of NUnit is different than JUnit???

Re: Getting Started - VS Integration

Posted by Eric Kolotyluk <er...@gmail.com>.
OK, so I have Visual C# Express 2010 installed. From a command windows 
(running as administrator I tried)

mvn 
org.apache.npanday.plugins:maven-vsinstaller-plugin:1.5.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT:install

But that failed.

Is there some actual documentation for 1.5? All I can find is 
http://incubator.apache.org/npanday/docs/1.4.0-incubating/guide/installation/index.html

Cheers, Eric

Everyone is welcome to contribute the recommendation, but don't expect the
developers will do your favorites first.

Anyway, your opinion may give an idea how to improve the documentation and
fulfill the user's expected features in the coming release.

OK, I am finally able to build a small project. I resurrected one of my old
NPanday projects, used it as a template to create a new project, edited the
pom.xml and other important files, integrated things with SharpDevelop
<http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Default.aspx>,
and I can build the same project with either Maven or SharpDevelop. Of
course there is no NPanday integration with SharpDevelop, but they seem to
co-exist in harmony.

This was still quite a manual process, that was only made easier because I
found an existing project to clone. It is disconcerting that:

 1. There seems to be no easy way to create a project from the command
    line using an archetype.
 2. There seems to be no easy way to create a project from Visual C#
    Express 2010 because I could not install the NPanday 1.5 plug-in

I certainly hope some of these pot-holes in the NPanday Roadmap will be
fixed when 1.5 is released. You get one chance to make a good first
impression, and this is an area the NPanday is lacking.

Cheers, Eric

Yes, though it's a mirror, so the application process is more manual - you'll probably need to let us know by way of a JIRA ticket that you've created the pull request.

https://github.com/apache/npanday (watch out that the default branch is wrong, it should be trunk - I'll ask the admins to correct)

Is NPanday on GitHub? If so, I could create some pull requests.

There hasn't been a lot of work done on reporting-type plugins here, but there's certainly an opportunity to build a reporting plugin that executes SandCastle (using the existing executable wrappers) in much the way you have done with antrun. Note, there is already an msbuild plugin that could run the above in a slightly easier manner.

Absolutely - what would you find the easiest way to contribute to that?

Re: C# Documentation

Posted by Eric Kolotyluk <er...@gmail.com>.
Primarily I was looking for a way to add them as a site report.

I have figured out how to add them to my site via SandCastle, but not as 
part of the normal reporting process.

<build>
     <plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.7</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>site</phase>
<configuration>
<target name="help">
<exec executable="cmd">
<arg value="/c" />
<arg value="%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe" />
<arg value="elevate.shfbproj" />
</exec>
</target>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
     <plugins>
   </build>

It would be nice to minimize the differences between NPanday, .NET and 
normal Maven methods. The above is rather much a hack, while the below 
is more elegant and consistent with Maven best practices.

   <reporting>
     <plugins>
       <plugin>
         <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
         <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
         <version>2.9.1</version>
       </plugin>
     </plugins>
   </reporting>

Any idea when NPanday 1.5 will be released?

Did you want any help with documentation?

Cheers, Eric

The XML documentation files are already generated in the standard build process. Are you looking for a way to copy those, or convert that into another form with Sandcastle, or something else?

Sorry if I've missed something, that's not an area I've dug into much.

C# Documentation

Is there a way to generate the C# API documentation as part of the 
reporting process?

Cheers, Eric

Re: Getting Started

Posted by Brett Porter <br...@apache.org>.
Hi Eric,

Sorry for the late response, rolling up a few responses here.

Good point about the archetypes in the MSI, I'll check that they are included. You are right these should be in central - that will happen when 1.5 is released, but snapshots are not published there. There is documentation for 1.5, but it's not published to the main site (again, because it isn't released).

We certainly welcome pull requests (or tickets with patches) to make improvements. If you make a PR let us know on npanday-dev@incubator.apache.org, as I'm not sure that notifications are set up for that yet.

Thanks for th efeedback - hope it's smother sailing for you now that you got the first project built.

- Brett

Do you just want recommendations on how to improve the documentation, or 
would you rather have pull requests on github?

Cheers, Eric

Re: Getting Started

Posted by Eric Kolotyluk <er...@gmail.com>.
Still making no progress on this...

There seems to be the stuff I need in

https://archiva-repository.apache.org/archiva/repository/snapshots/org/apache/npanday/maven-archetype-dotnet-simple/1.5.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT/

but when I try to configure my Nexus to point there, nothing gets 
downloaded.

    Repository ID: archiva-repository
    Repository Name: Apache Archiva
    Repository Type: proxy
    Repository Policy: Release
    Repository Format: maven2
    Contained in groups:

    Remote URL:
    https://archiva-repository.apache.org/archiva/repository/snapshots/

Nexus claims it is in service, but when I go to the "Browse Remote" tab, 
it lists some top level directories, however you cannot drill down any 
further.

Next I tried copied the files directly to

C:\Users\Eric\.m2\repository\org\apache\npanday\dotnet-archetypes\maven-archetype-dotnet-simple\1.5.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT

but Maven still cannot find it

    The desired archetype does not exist
    (npanday:maven-archetype-dotnet-simple:1.5.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT)

I am getting pretty frustrated now, which is exactly why I gave up on 
NPanday years ago. I cannot see this project getting past the incubating 
stage if there is no will to "just make things work in a reasonable way."

I am willing to work with people to help make this project better, in 
particular the documentation, but first I have to actually see some success.

Pretty much all of this pain could have been avoided if the 
npanday-installer-1.5.0-incubating-20140227.115948-74.msi would have 
installed the missing archetype in the local repository like the other 
stuff it installed. An even better solutions would to put everything in 
Maven Central as a release that can be found.

Sincerely, Eric

Re: Getting Started

Posted by Eric Kolotyluk <er...@gmail.com>.
OK, I can see the contents of 
http://repository.aduna-software.org/maven2/ from my Nexus, but when I 
search for "org.apache.npanday" or "maven-archetype-dotnet-simple" 
nothing is found.

This would seem to explain why Maven is complaining:[ERROR] Failed to 
execute goal 
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.2:generate 
(default-cli) on project standalone-pom: The desired archetype does not 
exist (npanday:maven-archetype-dotnet-simple:1.5.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT) 
-> [Help 1]

Brett, are you sure the archetype is in 
http://repository.aduna-software.org/maven2/ ?

Anyone else, can you see it there?

Cheers, Eric

It is not just about creating a pom.xml, but also about creating the 
file system layout for the project. Doing everything manually 
dramatically increases the possibility of defects, which is why we use 
automated tools like Maven. Telling me to just create my own pom.xml 
implies the NPanday is not stable enough to just work properly like any 
other Maven feature.

Do you mean "from scratch" or does "from sketch" mean something else?

I did create a Proxy Repository for Aduna on my Nexus server, but it 
does not seem to work. I have tried to configure it like other Proxy 
Repositories (that do work), so I am not sure what the problem is with this.

Again, all I can say is that clear, complete and "tested" documentation 
would go a long way to make it easier for people to get started with 
NPanday.

No, the guide is not very clear on many topics. In particular, there are 
few things better than a concrete example, as prototypes are often open 
to ambiguous interpretation. In general it is useful to have both 
prototype examples, and concrete examples.

I tried using

mvn archetype:generate 
-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-dotnet-simple 
-DarchetypeGroupId=npanday

  but that prints a list of 930 archetypes, and asks me to pick one. Not 
very user friendly, and when I enter "npanday" it does not find anything.

I tried configuring that remote repository into the settings.xml file 
and my nexus server, but that does not seem to work. Here is what I put 
in my settings.xml

           <repository>

               <name>Aduna Software</name>
<url>http://repository.aduna-software.org/maven2/</url>
           </repository>

Is there something else I should be configuring there?

I guess the guide wasn't clear that you need to substitute the version in here. It should be set to 1.5.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT if you are using the MSI. (It might work without specifying the version at all, but I don't have my VM here to verify at the moment).

They are in central, but only the last release is there, not any snapshots. There are some additional artifacts required from http://repository.aduna-software.org/maven2.

Presumably, the archetype is not in my local repository. Why didn't the .msi
put it there for me?

Is there some other repository I need to configure in my Maven settings? 
Why aren't the necessary NPanday pieces in Maven Central?

As an aside, I don't have any love for Visual Studio, and right now I am
using http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Default.aspx

I can live without the IDE integration for now, and just use NPanday from
the command line.

Cheers, Eric

Presumably, the archetype is not in my local repository. Why didn't the 
.msi put it there for me?

Is there some other repository I need to configure in my Maven settings? 
Why aren't the necessary NPanday pieces in Maven Central?

As an aside, I don't have any love for Visual Studio, and right now I am 
using http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Default.aspx

I can live without the IDE integration for now, and just use NPanday 
from the command line.

Cheers, Eric
