[11:30:05 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so fixed a bunch of windows specific build/test errors
[11:30:14 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> still working on the import code
[11:30:25 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> apparently the directory scanner code isn't working on windows
[11:38:16 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oi ... the turn around time on testing this is just insane
[11:43:08 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> (sad)
[11:43:35 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> running "ant clean initdb" on my host machine takes ~ 45 seconds
[11:44:02 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> in this windows VM its over 7 minutes
[11:44:05 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> ugh
[11:44:06 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> yeah
[11:44:11 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> seems like it's just insanely slow
[11:44:24 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> i think on gary's machine its more like 40 min
[11:44:54 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> seriously?
[11:44:55 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> wtf
[11:45:03 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> yeah
[11:45:08 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> could ask him for an average
[11:45:12 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> but it's really bad
[11:45:58 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that's just crazy
[11:46:17 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> yeah
[11:46:21 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I wonder if it would be faster in an ubuntu VM (tongue)
[11:46:36 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> yeah was just about to ask you that
[11:47:07 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> if he has enough RAM it could be worth a try
[11:48:00 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> good point
[11:49:53 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> petro at one point did suggestion a virtualbox vm of uportal
[11:51:37 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> ok, apparently actually his build time is more like what you're seeing
[11:51:41 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> for some reason thought it was worse
[11:51:44 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ah ok
[11:51:50 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> though that might have been a day when he was missing some dependencies
[11:52:18 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> did we change ant versions?
[11:53:19 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oh yeah sorry meant to send an email last night
[11:53:23 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> oh ok
[11:53:25 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> found another ant bug (sad)
[11:53:29 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> this time in 1.7
[11:53:32 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> ah
[11:53:38 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> i need to make some updates to our portlet overlays
[11:53:47 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> turns out now they have both versions of hsql deployed
[11:53:47 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> really wish that moving to maven completely was more straight forward
[11:53:51 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> heh
[11:53:52 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oops
[11:53:53 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> which is why a bunch of the portlets don't load
[11:53:56 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ah
[11:54:00 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> i can fix it to exclude the old version
[11:54:06 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> you can assign that one to me if you want
[11:54:06 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> prob over the weekend
[11:54:12 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> nah it's fine
[11:54:18 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> did you have any time to look into the environment filter files?
[11:54:23 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> i'll tackle it when i do the filter refactoring, since it's related
[11:54:25 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> will do that this weekend
[11:54:29 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> this week has been . . . bad
[11:55:19 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> sounds good
[11:55:20 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[11:55:22 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I hear you there
[11:55:25 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> definitely found though that if there's a portlet that doesn't load it crashes the whole layout
[11:55:34 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oh really?
[11:55:38 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that needs to get fixed
[11:55:53 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> yeah
[11:56:24 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> :/
[11:56:25 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> brb
[12:31:25 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hrm ... it appears that MS Security Essentials is adding a huge ammount of overhead
[12:31:34 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> gonna try disabling it and rebooting the VM (tongue)
[12:46:02 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> interesting
[12:46:25 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah it was using 150MB of RAM
[12:46:34 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and inspecting every file IO operation the build was doing (tongue)
[13:06:38 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> lol
[13:06:41 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> yeah that wouldn't help
[13:20:42 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> YAY
[13:20:49 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> initdb finally works on windows
[13:21:19 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> YAY!
[13:21:28 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> should i ping gary w/ that?
[13:21:40 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> or is there other stuff that still needs fixing data-wise?
[13:22:02 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> just sent
[13:22:04 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> awesomeness
[14:36:27 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so athena1 I have postgres installed ... what do I need to do to set it up to use uPortal on it?
[14:37:12 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> just edit pom.xml and build.properties and run "ant clean initportal"
[14:37:21 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> there shoudl be suggested settings in the uportal manual
[14:37:44 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok, I don't need to like create a DB in postgres?
[14:37:49 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> (I've never used it before (tongue))
[14:37:59 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> oh.
[14:37:59 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> yes
[14:38:00 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> and a user
[14:38:05 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[14:38:07 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> and grant that user permissions on the db
[14:38:24 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> something like "create user uportal password 'something'" (might not be quite right)
[14:38:29 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> create database up4
[14:38:35 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> grant all on uportal to up4
[14:38:43 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[15:24:15 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> though this is in simple cms
[15:24:20 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> Caused by: org.owasp.validator.html.ScanException: The input was too large. The specified input was 20,642 bytes and the maximum is 20,000 bytes.
[15:24:20 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> at org.owasp.validator.html.scan.AntiSamyDOMScanner.scan(AntiSamyDOMScanner.java:143)
[15:24:31 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> when you try to edit the javascript demo portlet via the UI
[15:24:55 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> ah
[15:28:09 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> i'll take a look through that stuff toinght
[15:28:21 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> https://issues.jasig.org/browse/CMSPLT-17
[15:28:34 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> that size thing is just a pretty simple configuration flag
[15:28:42 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah I figured
[15:28:44 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> so that should be easily fixable
[15:28:45 CDT(-0500)] <athena1> yeah
