I am very new to rockdb and will be using the rocksdb in my application as a lookup service. Does the rockDBjava library api provided contain the database itself, I mean is it not necessary to install rocksDB database separately.
I tried running the code using library and see some files created in the db path I mentioned in code, so not sure how exactly it works and if I need to install DB separately or if the library stores data in the directory and it itself acts as database?
No, you should not need to install RocksDB separately if you already have RocksJava working. They're not very clear on stating that, but if you look at the wiki in their Git repo you'll find this:
RocksJava is structured in 3 layers:
The Java classes within the org.rocksdb package which form the
RocksJava API. Java users only directly interact with this layer.
JNI code written in C++ that provides the link between the Java API
and RocksDB.
RocksDB itself written in C++ and compiled into a native library which
is used by the JNI layer.
That third point is basically their way of saying that RocksDB itself is one of the layers of RocksJava.
I like to create custom command for a project. I'd like to have specific commands by project (not global). (Ex: compile, prettify, generate ...)
I'm pretty sure it's possible thru packages : but which one ?
best solution : i'd like to create a file in my project, which contains commands easily callable thru atom editor ...
We are looking forward to using squashTA to manage our tests. The problem we are facing is that we already have a big automated tests collection and aren't able to make them run via squash TM using squash TA.
Our tests are using junit+selenium WebDriver+SpringFramework.
Currently, we launch our automated tests via maven (in commandLine), and we have a jenkins server running them regularly.
We tried to reuse our tests in a squash TA project, putting them in src/squashta/resources/selenium/java
But code in this folder doesn't even support java packages. It's like the java in the example isn't real java but a fake java parse by squashTA.
Is there any mean of using such already existing tests with squash(TA/TM) ?
Or, any alternatives you know that could do the job ? (we are currently using testlink and must change).
If your selenium test is in :
src/squashTA/resources/selenium-test/src/main/java/org/squashtest/ta/selenium/PetStoreTest.java
With a such structure, the test automation script to run the selenium test (which is in the package org.squashtest.ta.selenium) is :
TEST :
LOAD selenium-test/src/test AS seleniumTestSource
CONVERT seleniumTestSource TO script.java(compile) AS seleniumTestCompiled
CONVERT seleniumTestCompiled TO script.java.selenium2(script) USING $(org.squashtest.ta.selenium.PetStoreTest) AS seleniumTest
EXECUTE execute WITH seleniumTest AS seleniumResult
ASSERT seleniumResult IS success
If your selenium test has some dependencies to other libraries (like to spring in your case), you have to add those depencencies as dependency of the squash-ta-maven-plugin in the pom.xml of your Squash TA project
I'm trying the sample demo of selenium flex API. After following the instructions on the main page for compiling the project with sfpi.swc and taking the generated selben.swf in bin directory and trying to run some test(assertFlexText) using Selenium IDE, I get the following error:
[error] Function getFlexText not found on the External Interface for
the flash object selben
I have tried several other flex tests and got error messages similar to the one mentioned above.
For some reason I believe that the generated selben.swf through the automatic build of project in flex builder is not the desired one, though it didn't indicate any build problem after including sfpi.swc.
Any idea?
I use SeleniumFlex Api and SeleniumIde for my projecy with excellent result BUT using my own version of each of one. Your error maybe is for not include the lib of SeleniumFlexApi in the compile time( -include-libraries "libs\SeleniumFlexAPI.swc" ).
After that u can enable capture and replay with SeleniumIde change the main source (read this post) and use the user-extensions.js (in the SeleniumFlexApi project) with the SeleniumIde user option. Its really easy.
With these change u can capture and replay in firefox (v 3.06 or minor) and after that, if u use java, u can use Flex-UI-Selenium, Flash-Selenium for ur integration test with SeleniumRC.
I hope this information be usefull. I u have any question let me know.
I'd like to be able to write a .swf file that is runnable as a command line app. In other words, I would be able to create actionscript classes which can interact with stdin and stdout, and could then execute that .swf directly in the command line.
I suspect that this isn't really possible. Can anyone confirm that?
EDIT:
A couple of the answers pointed out that using Flash for command line work probably isn't the best choice. I wholeheartedly agree in most situations. The reason I am asking about this is because I want to do some AS3 code generation, and reflecting on AS3 classes within the runtime would be easier than parsing the code or walking the intermediary XML that asdoc produces. I'm doing the XML approach now in Ruby, but would love to have a cleaner solution!
YES! It actually is possible.
You can create a pure AS3 AIR project (without any application window) and run from the command line using ADL (AIR Debug Launcher).
ADL will execute your SWF and will pass whatever arguments you give it directly to your application at runtime—all from the command line! To read the arguments from AS3 just add this code to your main class:
package
{
import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.InvokeEvent;
public class CmdLine extends Sprite
{
public function CmdLine()
{
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(
InvokeEvent.INVOKE, onInvokeEvent);
function onInvokeEvent(invocation:InvokeEvent):void {
trace(invocation.arguments);
}
}
}
}
Your main class will still extend Sprite, but you won't see any UI unless you create NativeWindow objects. If you're using Flash Builder, just create a new AIR project and rename the extension of the main .mxml file to .as (before you finish the wizard).
Here is more about ADL: Using the AIR Debug Launcher (ADL)
Also, this will be very useful: AIR application invocation and termination
You can do all your output using trace(), write files, or even write directly to stdout, as seen here.
Apparently there is the Tamarin project which aims to create an open source implementation of AS3. This page gives a little detail of compiling an AS3 script and running it from a command line.
I'm not getting a good idea of how stable Tamarin is, but it might be your best bet for now. On the other hand, I have to strongly agree with #zenazn that you would be better off long-term learning a language more designed for general purposes, but if really want to just use Actionscript, don't let anyone stop you :)
There's no way to do this with a bare SWF right now.
However, you can publish your Flash content as an AIR app. The app can then be invoked from the command line, and you can collect the arguments from the arguments property of an InvokeEvent. The basic idea looks like this:
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(
InvokeEvent.INVOKE, onInvoke );
// ...
function onInvoke( e:InvokeEvent ) {
var numArguments:int = e.arguments.length;
// ...
}
Note, however, that this is essentially a one-way street. You can grab the command-line arguments, but Flash still doesn't grok the idea of stdin and stdout.
Actually, there is a project that makes it possible. RedTamarin is a project that extends AS3 (technically, the Tamarin project which is the Adobe/Mozilla ECMAScript project) to have access to low-level libraries (ie. POSIX). In its current state it appears to be good for stuff like shell-scripting-like programs which is what it sounds like what you're looking for.
Give it a try:
http://code.google.com/p/redtamarin/
You can interact with stdin, stdout and stderr with redtamarin
http://code.google.com/p/redtamarin/
see examples/docs here
http://code.google.com/p/redtamarin/wiki/System#stdout
http://code.google.com/p/redtamarin/wiki/System#stderr
http://code.google.com/p/redtamarin/wiki/System#stdin
there is a difference between Flash and ActionScript 3
Flash is a runtime, AS3 is a language
I don't see why AS3 would not be a good programming language
for the command line and/or the server side
Now, redtamarin is just that, a runtime that allow you to
run your AS3 source code on the command line.
Also, depending on your needs, you can use it in different ways
to run script on the command line
$ ./redshell myscript.as
run ABC or SWF files on the command line
$ ./redshell myscript.abc
$ ./redshell myscript.swf
run an exectuable
$ ./myscript
When you will run an AS3 script it will be dynamically interpreted,
using ASC you will be able to compile this same script to an ABC file
that can also be run from the command line.
If for example you need to assemble numerous ABC files together,
you can use swfmake to merge them into SWF file and the runtime
will run that SWF file too from the command line.
Finally, if you need to bundle everything in one executable,
you can use createprojector to take your ABC or SWF file
and merge it with the runtime itself to obtain an independent
executable.
Redtamarin provide native API that cover file system access,
sockets, operating system info, etc.
Now it is possible with AIR 2.0. Check this article to start.
If you are really that inclined, you could open a local socket, and then have a helper program, running from the command-line communicate with the open SWF.
This might be a good time to learn another language. May I suggest Java?
I had a similar question recently. It took me a few days to answer it for myself, but you can create a .swf and execute it entirely from the command line.
AS3 Filesystem Hello World
You could have a look at Haxe with is very similar to AS3 and could compile NekoVM Bytecode, which could be run on the command line.
Also interesting could be HippoHX, it is a kind of framework to create desktop applications out of flash movies. (similar to AIR, but with full access to the system.)
Nope--not possible. The best you can do is a standalone app (which can be made in Flash or with a Projector version of flash player, available from the Adobe website).
And why would you want to--Flash is awesome because of the great GUI capabilities. There are plenty of other programming languages that are much better suited for the command line (Python or Ruby or, god forbid, even Perl)
