ATSynEdit pkg error

[polpero]

Hi

Latest ATSynEdit pkg won't compile,
gives following msg:

atsynedit_canvasproc.pas(623,7) Error: Identifier not found "CanvasPilcrowChar"

should i symply 'comment' the identifier?

Thanks

[AlexTP]

you need ATSynEdit with the proper version of ATFlatControls (missed symbol is in the flatcontrols).

- use atsynedit + atflatcontrols both from OnlikePkgManager
- or both from Github

[polpero]

ok
the missed symbol has been found but
now ATSynEdit pkg gives this msg:

atsynedit.pas(9671,27) Error: Wrong number of parameters specified for call to "EncConvFindEncoding"

I uninstalled FlatControls, AtSynEdit and EControl,
rebuilt the IDE
and reinstalled all from the OLPManager
 !!

is there a best order in which to proceed?

Hi polpero,

I just updated AT_* packages in OPM, so everything should be fine now. Please do the following:
1. Go to Package->Install/Uninstall packages
2. Uninstall every AT_* package(atflatcontrols, atsynedit, etc...)
3. Rebuild the IDE
4. Open OPM and click the "Cleanup" toolbar icon
5. Select the AT packages you wish to install then click the "Install" icon

I tested ATSynedit with Lazarus 2.2.4/FPC 3.2.2 and Lazarus Trunk/FPC 3.2.2, both work fine at my side.
What Lazarus/FPC do you have?

[polpero]

Same:

 Lazarus 2.2.4/FPC 3.2.2

I'll try cleaning up and rebuilding again

I'll try cleaning up and rebuilding again

1. Uninstall every at_package
2. There is a "Local Repo" icon in OPM, it will take you to the folder where the packages are located. Delete every at_* directory.
3. Reinstall everything

Thank you for updating but after I repeated your steps I now got the same error. (Prior I had all from AlexTP installed and running)
Lazarus 2.2.4 (rev lazarus_2_2_4) FPC 3.2.2 x86_64-win64-win32/win64

That method is called

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. function EncConvFindEncoding(const s: string): TEncConvId;
2. var
3.   e: TEncConvId;
4. begin
5.   for e:= Low(cEncConvNames) to High(cEncConvNames) do
6.     if s=cEncConvNames[e] then
7.       exit(e);
8.   Result:= eidUTF8;
9. end;

Here is the call.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.     St.EncodingCodepage:= EncConvFindEncoding(LowerCase(AName), eidCP1252);

How to fix:
Do same steps like above with package EncConv!
After that it rebuild again nice.

[AlexTP]

New error means that EncConv is not the latest.

[KodeZwerg]

New error means that EncConv is not the latest.

That might be true, but how should we know what is needed?
More than showing that it not compile anymore I can not do, to check dependencies correctly - for that my knowledge is too poor, I just can react on errors.
Anyway, I love your great work AlexTP!
(maybe it is possible to rename all of your packages with a leading AT and some info inside that tells requirements to quicker find what might be a possible candidate for updating/removal?)

[AlexTP]

What do you suggest, make version req's inside packages? so that ATSynEdit needs exact version of EncConv. boring for me, sorry.

Rename EncConv to ATEncConv? not much sense.

[KodeZwerg]

From where I come from, many packages/components have a version stated inside and simple check for that value ( >= ) on compiling.
I do in no way wanted to complain and I am sorry to made suggestions.

[balazsszekely]

Now I see what's happening. OPM detects that EncConv package dependency is already installed and does not download the latest version. So yeah, KodeZwerg evaluation is correct, you should uninstall EncConv too. Another solution is to check package EncConv, before installing ATSynEdit thus forcing OPM to download the latest EncConv.

PS: If you wondering why OPM cannot detect that envconv has changed, the reason is simple, no version information has changed in ATSynEdit or EncConv, so the MinMax package dependencies are met. OPM cannot check every pas/dfm file for changes, that would be an overkill.

Everything seems to be back on track

on the merits of communication
and the use of a dedicated Forum


thanks everyone
