[Grok-dev] getUtility(ICatalog) fails with ComponentLookupError

[Uli Fouquet]

Hi there,

Somehow Alex postings to the list seem to get lost on their way to my
mailbox. Is there something I can do (no, the mails didn't go to the
spam folder)? I only noticed he posted by seeing the replies and looking
into the web-archive.

Yep, that might be true and this difference is important to remember:
adding items to a container triggers IObjectAddedEvent while setting
attributes of a container does not (at least not automatically).

I nevertheless do not understand, why the catalog is not created
automatically.

Normally, your catalog should be created automatically when you create a
HelpDesk instance and store it into ZODB (as a container item). But that
requires the ComponentArchitecture to be in place and a ZODB to store
the instance in.

Best regards,
