Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have to setup the "stupid_log" (no offense) Thanks, Derek Wilson -----Original Message----- From: Goldthwaite, Joe [mailto:joe@goldthwaites.com] Sent: Friday, November 21, 2003 11:37 AM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] Quick question. I'm a newbie learning Python and Zope. I'm trying to create a Zope product for my application since programming is more familiar to me than HTML. I ran into a problem that caused me to join this list. In the process of figuring out how to best ask the question, I found the answer. I had created a package using the example in "The Book of Zope". When I first restarted the server, I got an error message in the list of products saying that my package was broken. It had an error log showing the line (a typo) that was causing the problem. I fixed the line but restarting Zope kept giving me the same error message on the same line that I had fixed. I decided that something funny was going on so I deleted the package from the "Product Management at /Control_Panel/Products" screen in the hopes that it would be recreated or I would at least get a new error message. The product went away completely and nothing I could do would get it back. I tried moving it to a different directory, changing the metadata name, changing the class names, nothing worked. I could look in the directory and see that my __init__.pyc file was being created so I knew Zope was looking at it but it didn't seem to do anything with it. After working on it for most of the day, I finally found the problem. At some point, I had accidentally deleted the "s" from the end of the constructors' In other words, instead of this; def initialize(context): """Register the EIS class""" context.registerClass( EIS.EIS, constructors = ( EIS.manage_addEISForm, EIS.manage_addEIS ), permission = 'Add EIS', icon='www/icon.gif' ) I had This; def initialize(context): """Register the EIS class""" context.registerClass( EIS.EIS, constructor = ( EIS.manage_addEISForm, EIS.manage_addEIS ), permission = 'Add EIS', icon='www/icon.gif' ) Notice the missing "s" in "constructor =". That was doing it. Now, here's my question, is there an error log anywhere that would have shown what was causing the problem without searching for a needle in a haystack? I was looking all over the place for some kind of message as to why the package wasn't showing up but couldn't find anything. I'm assuming I just don't know where to look. _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
