Forum OpenACS Development: New version of imsld package

Posted by Derick Leony on 06/23/09 07:50 PM

Hello all,

Version 2.0d of package imsld is available in the CVS repository. The most important changes to point are:
- Ability to export a unit of learning
- Inclusion of Generic Service Integration
- Improvements to support adaptability (specially changing the way to generate HTML in order to ease accessibility support)

We are doing several tests on the latest developments continuously and will appreciate very much any feedback provided.

Regards,

Derick

Hi Derick,

Thanks for that new version.

For now I just tested upgrading from dotLRN 2.4.1 and had the following error message in the log:

Error: lang::message::register - refusing to register message for non-en_US locale es_ES. The message key imsld.IMS-LD_Level must be registered in en_US first

Will test further during the next two weeks.

Also FYI, dotlrn hasn't been branched yet so this version is the one that will go into the next release (2.5.0).

Hi Emmanuelle,

Thank you for the report, I have fixed that message key in the catalog and committed the change to HEAD.

It's very good to know that this version will be in the next release, thanks for that information as well!

Hi Derick,

I'm testing imsld from the oacs-5-5 branch on a fresh install and ran into a problem. I've tried to upload a LD file and the upload process stalls at some point. Nothing in the log, postgresql goes crazy (eating all the CPU). I've tried with 2 different LDs and same happens.

Derick, please track this down and let us know what's going on. I had hoped to release .LRN alpha this weekend, apparently we can't, now. Please post here and, if possible, come to the Honchos meeting so we can discuss IMSLD testing etc and plan for release.

Hi Emma & Don,

I'm going to test this on a fresh install, I just tested it on my current 5.5 instance (couple of weeks old) and everything worked out fine.

I'll let you know what I find by the end of the day, will attend to the next Honchos meeting as well.

Derick,

I've given it a second try and it worked but it took 5 minutes to upload a 5 activities LD, pg eating 98% of the CPU and fans going crazy (probably didn't wait long enough the first time and freaked out seeing so heavy processes. I'm using a macbook pro 2.4GHz intel core 2 duo).

There are other issues we need to discuss so I'm glad you'll attend next meeting. I'll try to document my tests before then.

OK, that's a relief then! Indeed, it's a long time for such a LD. I'll keep on testing with other LDs to see if I can find a similar issue.

Thanks for the test reports!

I'm still not able to reproduce this. I'm trying with a fresh install of oacs-5-5, PG 8.3.7, AOLserver 4.0.10 and Tcl 8.4.19.

Should I try with AOLserver 4.5+ instead? Also, could you send me any of these LDs you had problems with?

Thanks.
