"info" and "configure" commands are gone. how do I configure a sketch?

Hi. Looks like the Design Center Wiki is out of date.

The "info" and "configure" commands are gone from the current version of cf-sketch:

cf-sketch> [3527:3527:0501/091041:ERROR:omnibox_view_gtk.cc(431)] Not implemented reached in virtual void OmniboxViewGtk::ApplyCaretVisibility()
info System::motd

Unknown command:
info System::motd

cf-sketch>

cf-sketch> configure System::motd

Unknown command:
configure System::motd

cf-sketch>

How do I configure a sketch?

I am working on the docs right now. I can't give you something in time for your class, sorry.

The cf-sketch shell is under development by @zzamboni and I don't have an ETA.

My best recommendation is to demonstrate with cd tools/test; make SKETCHNAME which will run cf-sketch in expert mode. Or you can look at the api or api2 targets which have fairly complete API interaction flows without cf-sketch in between. I apologize that I don't have a better solution for you.

@atsaloli I can put together a manual integration example using one of the sketches before tomorrow for you. Also another option is to use --expert mode instead of the interactive shell and pass it a json file for the parameters. I havent played much with DC since the update to the API, so I am playing a bit of catch up.

Sorry, the info and configure commands are not reimplemented yet for the new framework. You can activate a sketch using the "activate" command, which has the form:

activate Sketch::name /file/with/params.json activation|class|expression

This command will automatically define a new parameter set using the given JSON file, and a new environment using the given class expression.

For your class, you may want to demo the 3.4.0 version of cf-sketch, which you can get from the design-center repository checkout using the following commands:

cd design-center/
git checkout dc-3.4.0
cd tools/cf-sketch
./cf-sketch

Then you can use all the features of the previous version, it should all work well.

Best regards, and sorry for the brokenness at the moment.

Diego, is there a raw estimate when this will be ready.
