Re: [Jgeneral] install from github
Vanessa Just to clarify - the addon is installed into the directory given in the manifest. Any locale setting should be done in the script, so this is not part of the manifest. In your case, it should be fine for the definitions to be loaded into base. Chris On Tue, Apr 7, 2020 at 1:26 PM Vanessa McHale wrote: > > Thanks!

Re: [Jgeneral] install from github
An addon need not have a script with the same name as the directory. However, if there is such a script, then it can be loaded using a short form. For example, the following are all the same: load 'convert/pjson' load 'convert/pjson/pjson' load '~addons/convert/pjson/pjson.ijs' To load another script or where the addon does not have a script with the same name as the directory, use the last two methods, e.g. load 'net/clientserver/jsss' load '~addons/net/clientserver/jsss.ijs' I haven't checked the wiki documentation. Please update as needed, thanks.

Re: [Jgeneral] install from github
Adding in the file with the same name as the directory works, but.. when I look in addons, I see a variety of addons which don't follow this convention (I see a variety of addons without an .ijs file whose base name matches the containing directory name): api/java games/minesweeper misc/classroom api/python3 general/joddocument misc/miscutils convert/misc general/jodsource net/clientserver demos/coins general/misc profiles/profiles demos/isigraph graphics/color sockets/socklib demos/publish graphics/fvj4 sockets/sockutils demos/wd ide/jhs stats/jserver4r demos/wdplot math/misc stats/r docs/help media/videolabs stats/rlibrary And I know that at least some of these addons aren't broken (ide/jhs for example). But when I try to test some of these, using require, some do seem broken. So even if you've worked around the issue, it seems like something is still not right. If it's supposed to work like this, I think we've got missing documentation. If it's supposed to work like it's documented I think we've got a different problem.
