Re: Off topic, sending binary files

[Peter Mew via 4D_Tech]

This what I ended up doing .
Created a dummy app
Put the binary in the extras folder.
Compiled it
Zipped it
Sent it by Wetransfer
This seemed to work.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
Platypus looks interesting

Thanks

[Off] Saying goodby to Larry Sharpe

[Lee Hinde via 4D_Tech]

Larry’s family held a send-off/wake/goodby dinner in Larry’s honor on Saturday 
night in Pacific Grove, CA.

The 4D connection was honored with Larry’s 4D cap getting a place on the 
memories table.



Among the things I never knew (or had forgotten) was that Larry was a track 
star in school. One of his nieces told me that when she was at the same school 
as Larry, many years later, his trophies were still on display. And, in 1976, 
he rode his bike from CA to Montreal to see the Olympics.

Also in attendance were Rich Gay, Seb Frey and Bryan Green. Leaving me as the 
sole remaining practitioner of the 4D arts among the group. :-)



From the left, Seb, Larry’s kids, Doug and Mara, their mother Ramona, Karen 
Green, Bryan Green, me and Rich Gay.

Finally, Bryan posted this picture from their visit to Portland last year.

Re: Unexpected Command Key Shortcuts (15.4)

[Jeffrey Kain via 4D_Tech]

Good point... a parameter definitely makes sense for this command. There must 
be something already there internally since Find In Design and the Compiler 
modules can already do it.

I'd rather have a GOTO Line command to use with 
http://doc.4d.com/4Dv15/4D/15.4/METHOD-OPEN-PATH.301-3273687.en.html or 
additional paremeter.

RE: 4D unit testing framework

[Epperlein, Lutz (agendo) via 4D_Tech]

We use it with 4D V15.3, there aren't any serious problems with. Not tested 
with V16 yet.
We implemented some minor changes in the past, mostly cosmetically by the help 
of a trainee. We plan an overhaul of the component to adapt it better to our 
processes. Unfortunately the trainee isn't available to us anymore, so we 
haven't a schedule for doing it.
But so far, it works and it is open-sourced.

Regards
Lutz

run do not walk to roadshow

[Chuck Miller via 4D_Tech]

Hi All,

If you are not signed up yet for Roadshow and class and one is near you sign 
up. I know it is hard when a consultant to give up one or two billing days. I 
always view it as follows. If I get one or two nuggets that I can use within 
the next few months it is worth it. Needless to say I found more than two,

As always your mileage will vary

Regards
Chuck

If you are sending a standalone (runtime) app, can you just include it in the 
Resources folder? It may keep the executable bit if it is contained within the 
app package. 

If you need an installer, I am still using Packages, it has been updated to be 
compatible with Sierra.

4D unit testing framework

[Jeffrey Kain via 4D_Tech]

Is anyone using that unit testing framework donated by Mark Schaake in v15/v16? 
Most of the activity in the Google Group was from 2010 with a few posts from 
2014. Just wondering what the current status is with the newer versions of 4D?

Thanks,

Jeff

RE: 4D Server Crashes When Tracing Buggy Web Connection Code

[Epperlein, Lutz (agendo) via 4D_Tech]

To refer to the original cause of the crash ...
Unfortunately the compiler doesn't find such problems (negative array index 
variable), this is a typical runtime problem. All what you can do is to write 
"defensive" code, e.g. checking the value of an index variable, using error 
handler, don't change the size of an array in a FOR loop whilst accessing of 
array elements using an index variable and so on. 
As others mentioned already ...

Regards Lutz
