Aug 04 02:49:46 <e_dub> what branch should i use to start working on docs? i had trouble building the development branch the other day, though you've pushed quite a bit since then so i might try again Aug 04 02:50:39 use the development branch. You'll probably have issues, this is everything we'll have to work through to release though so just let me know. Aug 04 02:52:17 <e_dub> ok cool Aug 04 03:08:31 <e_dub> viatropos, ok, first problem i am having: https://gist.github.com/3255778 Aug 04 03:09:30 what did the terminal say? Aug 04 03:09:49 <e_dub> npm ERR! Aug 04 03:09:49 <e_dub> npm ERR! Additional logging details can be found in: Aug 04 03:09:49 <e_dub> npm ERR! /home/eric/git/community/tower/npm-debug.log Aug 04 03:09:49 <e_dub> npm ERR! not ok code 0 Aug 04 03:09:51 you have node >= 0.8? Aug 04 03:09:54 <e_dub> yes Aug 04 03:10:06 what was this from, npm install? Aug 04 03:10:08 <e_dub> yes Aug 04 03:12:02 so you cloned tower and ran npm install (not npm install tower)? Aug 04 03:12:08 <e_dub> yes Aug 04 03:12:39 it might be from forever: they were having issues when node 0.8 just came out https://github.com/viatropos/tower/blob/development/package.json#L86 Aug 04 03:13:05 try changing that to >= 0.10.1 Aug 04 03:13:17 or whatever forever version can install on your computer Aug 04 03:13:42 <e_dub> ok cool will try Aug 04 03:14:16 k Aug 04 03:15:13 npm comes installed with node now, very nice didn't realize Aug 04 03:16:17 <e_dub> yeah, really a big step in making it easier to use Aug 04 03:20:46 <e_dub> ok like this worked: "forever": "~0.10.0", Aug 04 03:20:46 <e_dub> "coffee-script": "~1.3.3" Aug 04 03:20:56 <e_dub> otherwise both of those mess it up Aug 04 03:22:59 k, well you need that version of coffeescript though b/c of the different javascript it outputs, did it still install the other coffeescript in the postinstall hook? Aug 04 03:23:38 oh, it looks like there's 2 coffeescripts specified, maybe remove the one in devDependencies Aug 04 03:27:32 <e_dub> ok yup this works: https://gist.github.com/3255913 Aug 04 03:27:52 nice Aug 04 03:28:12 <e_dub> you can take out the two design.io things, i just went ahead and threw them in cuz i knew it would be needed to compile Aug 04 03:28:28 Hey if you wouldn't mind maybe posting the irc logs you were talking about on a gist that would be cool Aug 04 03:28:41 <e_dub> sure Aug 04 03:29:05 thanks Aug 04 03:33:12 <e_dub> get this error trying to create a new app https://gist.github.com/3255968 Aug 04 03:34:06 op, yeah I don't think i've tested the app generator since the new changes. should be a quick fix Aug 04 03:37:43 <e_dub> https://gist.github.com/3256039 and https://gist.github.com/3255998 logs Aug 04 03:38:20 sweet, thank you!

Aug 04 03:50:01 one way is to put it on gh-pages, another is on the site but I don't want to mess with that atm, maybe a starter kit like ember too?

If you try the webConsole example and look at the controller param logs on the server, they happen sequentially.

Aug 04 05:10:25 <e_dub> sweet Aug 04 05:12:03 <e_dub> so, it no longer makes the links to everything and stuff when you generate a scaffold? or is that something that can be turned on and off? I mean, in a real app, you'd definitely want to customize that stuff anyways, but it was pretty sweet for doing these kinds of tests Aug 04 05:12:41 Yeah, so when you call .all() or .fetch() it returns a Tower.ModelCursor (now it's an array with those cursor methods added, may need to change b/c ember removed accessor support). With the cursor you can do .page(4).fetch(), or .nextPage().fetch() and .previousPage().fetch() and it will fetch in chunks. Aug 04 05:13:09 Yeah I'm not sure what happened to the navigation, it should still be there Aug 04 05:13:26 probably b/c it's all ember templates, haven't tested it yet Aug 04 05:14:57 <e_dub> man this is awesome. like, I watched yehuda's play by play like about ten times lol, and, you could make the app he made with rails/ember using tower instead in about fifteen minutes i think Aug 04 05:15:30 haha that sounds cool, send me a link to that Aug 04 05:16:36 <e_dub> i'll throw the vids up on mediafire Aug 04 05:17:15 We gotta finish the last bit of pagination, so it also grabs the totalRecordCount and/or totalPageCount, so you could then do var posts = App.Post.page(1).fetch(); while posts.get('hasNextPage'); posts = posts.nextPage(); It's like 5 lines of code on the server in model/cursor/finders, but it's tricky : ) Aug 04 05:17:47 sounds good Aug 04 05:21:37 <e_dub> i really want to see the new play by play with creationix. i love watching those things because you get to learn everyone's debug methods, that's probably the single most valuable part of the play by play series on peepcode. even though, of course, everyone gets all embarassed at their buggy code. Aug 04 05:22:41 Oh nice, yeah that's a great idea, need to do that! Super valuable Aug 04 05:24:40 <e_dub> anyways, good deal, i think we worked out a lot of the kinks tonight/today lol Aug 04 05:25:41 <e_dub> this upload is gonna take about a half hour, but i'll DM you the link or something if you have gone to bed Aug 04 05:27:10 One last thing. You can mess around with data-syncing, though I haven't tested it in a few days and need to document it (kind of forgot). Basically, you define scopes on both the client and server controllers, which just creates a global collection of cursors, and when you create a record, it gets tested against all those cursors and added if it matches. https://gist.github.com/3256583 Aug 04 05:27:43 Oh no worries, didn't realize it was a peepcode, I may just get them now that you mention it, sounds like a good thing to learn from Aug 04 05:28:23 Yeah, thanks for powering through, it's been fun/productive Aug 04 05:28:54 <e_dub> they are really awesome. like I mentioned the other night it's thanks to all the educational material on the internet that I've been able to re-tool myself from english teacher to hacker in about six months Aug 04 05:30:23 haha that's so crazy... wait so you were an english teacher? I see japanese symbols or something on a lot of your stuff, what's your story? Aug 04 05:30:55 <e_dub> there was something that used to be in the tower wiki, something like "to new developers" or something like that, i cant find it anymore, and i wish i had saved it, but man, that was a really motivating roadmap for me when i started Aug 04 05:31:24 interesting, I'll look for it Aug 04 05:31:49 <e_dub> well long story short i developed chronic pain about ten years ago, and had to go on hardcore painkillers, which i got addicted to, got off of, but then was left without relief for the pain Aug 04 05:32:07 <e_dub> so i started learning japanese because i could no longer work and had all this free time Aug 04 05:32:15 <e_dub> that gave me this great idea for a japanese learning app Aug 04 05:32:23 <e_dub> so i started learning to program and bam Aug 04 05:33:04 wow that's so random haha. how do you do it? Aug 04 05:33:27 with pain that seems tough Aug 04 05:34:11 <e_dub> well, i am stubborn as hell. and i pretty much just refuse to spend a life watching soaps on the couch. i am really passionate about education, and if i cant teach, i want to build something that can teach for me Aug 04 05:35:03 really cool Aug 04 05:35:49 <e_dub> a lot of the techniques i was using to learn japanese, like constant immersion, using spaced repetition software, etc also made it possible to plow through lots of material on programming really quickly. what I still lack is the experience most people get from taking years to learn what i shoved into about six months, but that will catch up with time Aug 04 05:35:50 I'm really into education as well, we'll have to dig into that one day Aug 04 05:36:15 <e_dub> yeah, i noticed that on your twitter profile. i think that might be what caused me to look into tower Aug 04 05:36:18 you probably have a background in it though, I just kind of like learning Aug 04 05:36:28 <e_dub> cuz the brunch.io dude had retweeted you or something Aug 04 05:37:14 you really have only been programming for 6 months? Aug 04 05:37:23 <e_dub> well, i dropped out of high school (another long story lol) so when i kind of got my shit together, it really made me want to reach out to others Aug 04 05:37:45 <e_dub> yeah for real. i had some classes in high school where we did some stuff with BASIC and pascal on apple IIe's Aug 04 05:37:50 <e_dub> but nothing in between Aug 04 05:38:09 no f*cking way, that's insane Aug 04 05:38:15 haha Aug 04 05:38:17 <e_dub> lol Aug 04 05:38:49 I thought I was moving fast, playing catch up, but now it's been almost 5 years! Aug 04 05:39:05 <e_dub> heh, well i am nowhere near your level dude. tower is amazing Aug 04 05:39:14 <e_dub> i read through the source code in awe Aug 04 05:40:01 lol Aug 04 05:40:53 it's crazy though, kids in like 10 years are going to be so hardcore Aug 04 05:41:16 it's like, just prepare the ground : ) Aug 04 05:42:13 <e_dub> hey, thats the coolest thing though. like, people forty years ago wrote all this really fucking hard assembly and c code, and now i can write in sweet sweet ruby and coffeescript and never have to think about that junk lol Aug 04 05:42:26 for sure Aug 04 05:43:29 alright, checking out now. talk to you later... your real name's eric? Aug 04 05:43:39 <e_dub> yup eric Aug 04 05:44:15 cool. night man. Aug 04 05:44:20 <e_dub> night!
