Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[graham <>]

Hi,

I'm attempting an initial grouper install, using the separate api/ui tar 
files for 1.3.0rc2. I'm having a few problems, some minor and some less so:

1. (minor, I guess): one of the junit tests fails. The error message is:

<testcase 
classname="edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.Test_I_API_RegistrySubject_delete"
name="test_delete_failToDeleteNoLongerExistingRegistrySubject" time="0.071">
    <failure message="did not throw expected GrouperException"
type="junit.framework.AssertionFailedError">junit.framework.AssertionFailedError:
did not throw expected GrouperException
        at
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.Test_I_API_RegistrySubject_delete.test_delete_failToDeleteNoLongerExistingRegistrySubject(Unknown
Source)
</failure>
</testcase>

2. (minor) If the login succeeds because the user is in 
tomcat-users.xml, but the same user is not in the database, the 
resulting error page is not rendered as html (I guess the wrong header 
information is sent)

3. (very minor) gsh.sh is being distributed in MSDOS format (I assume it 
isn't actually any use on a DOS-based system...)

4. (currently a blocker for me) I can login as user GrouperSystem (I 
haven't set up a wheel group yet). But this gives me nothing, since my 
database is empty. I don't currently understand the format of the 
grouper registry data (is there a wiki page I missed?) so am attempting 
to upload the quickstart.xml file rather than creating my own test data.

Using
ant xml-import -Dcmd="GrouperSystem quickstart.xml"

succeeds for a large part of the file then fails when it comes to the 
first list of individuals (line 776):

2008-05-08 16:45:46,080:
[53307d7b-bdfc-46d4-9132-1b9157379a5b,'GrouperSystem','application'] 
grant access priv: group='etc:wheel' priv='view'
subject='GrouperAll'/'application'/'g:isa' (42ms)
2008-05-08 16:45:46,149: unable to import from xml: subject not found: jaco

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks
Graham
