Topic: Notepad++ plugin 1.0.39
Arianne van de Wetering (May 13 2019 at 14:37):
Hi all,
I am installing the 64 bit version of Notepad++ plugin 1.0.39 on my windows pc. Which - after some troubles - seems to install fine. I also see the folder plugins/fhir at the expected location (C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\fhir). However, when starting Notepad++ again after this install, I do not see FHIR appear under Plugins, even though the wiki promises I should. Using Notepad version 7.6.6 pasted image

notepad++ just changed the folder layout for plug-ins. a breaking change... I'm still trying to find time to deal with that change

Aaah, thanks for the update. Maybe good to add a sentence in the wiki or download page to let people know?

@Grahame Grieve What would be the version of Notepad++ that would work? Notepad++ allows for installing older versions.
Alexander Henket (Jun 20 2019 at 17:12):
I installed Notepad++ 7.5.9. That works except for what I wanted to use it for, which was to debug fhirPath expressions. That gives me an Access Violation when I click the menu option
Alexander Henket (Jun 20 2019 at 17:14):
Also something I remembered from when I had it installed some time ago: a lot of windows and texts are too small to read. Exemplary is the initial screen. Schermafbeelding-2019-06-20-om-18.56.03.png

After opening the toolbox window, I can now operate fhirPath expressions even though everything is still awkwardly small
Grahame Grieve (Jun 20 2019 at 19:30):
I'll add doing something about the size to my todo list
Alexander Henket (Jun 20 2019 at 19:34):
Thanks already! Is there also a way to just run an expression? Maybe it is the size, but I could only find the debugger to get me to output
Grahame Grieve (Jun 20 2019 at 19:36):
ifyou choose 'jump to path' then you go to the first matching element
Alexander Henket (Jun 20 2019 at 19:36):
In my case that would not work:
Bundle.entry.where(search.empty() or search.mode = 'match').count()
Grahame Grieve (Jun 20 2019 at 19:38):
I see the problem but I don't really have a solution right now
Alexander Henket (Jun 20 2019 at 19:38):
Ok. The debugger works (yields 2 in my case), so I'll continue on that route. It just takes more 'clicks to heaven'
Grahame Grieve (Jun 20 2019 at 19:39):
y sorry
Alexander Henket (Jun 20 2019 at 19:42):
I'm/we are mostly on building TestScript assertions for Touchstone right now, so almost anything is about building something that yields a boolean. The statement above is part of this one:
Bundle.total.toInteger() = Bundle.entry.where(search.empty() or search.mode = 'match').count()
Alexander Henket (Apr 08 2020 at 10:28):
@Grahame Grieve Is the plugin supposed to be compatible with the current versions of Notepad++? I'm ignoring update notifications for Notepad++ since this post, but maybe that is no longer necessary?
Grahame Grieve (Apr 08 2020 at 11:57):
I think it works
Alexander Henket (Apr 08 2020 at 14:04):
Ok that's good news. The error for plugin 1.0.40 is that it cannot access the R4 source package online. I believe someone posted that already, but cannot find that post. Known issue? It seems to be looking for a 4.0.0 package whereas 4.0.1 is probably what it should be looking for
Jose Costa Teixeira (Apr 08 2020 at 14:45):
@David Pyke didn't we have the same issue?
David Pyke (Apr 08 2020 at 15:36):
Yep, still waiting fort Graham to push out an update for this

Alexander Henket (Apr 08 2020 at 15:39):
This is what I got after downloading the installer again upon prompt by Notepad++ that there was an update. In Dutch it says "npp-install-1.0.40.exe contains a virus and has been removed"
Alexander Henket (Apr 08 2020 at 15:41):
The address this came from was http://www.healthintersections.com.au/FhirServer/npp-install-1.0.40.exe. After going manually to http://www.healthintersections.com.au/FhirServer/fhirnpp.htm the download in Edge completed normally. I guess starting an exe download from an application is kind of suspicious :-)
Alexander Henket (Apr 08 2020 at 15:42):
And errors as before: image.png
Alexander Henket (Apr 08 2020 at 15:57):
Notepad++ 64bit installs in C:\Program Files by default on my machine. Plugin installs in C:\Program Files (x86) by default. Seems easy enough to check in the installer?
Alexander Henket (Apr 08 2020 at 15:58):
Welcome screen, button All Settings, causes an access violation
Alexander Henket (Apr 08 2020 at 15:59):
I can check R2, in the plugin, but R3 also gives a package not found (404) image.png
Alexander Henket (Apr 08 2020 at 16:00):
So it seems plugin 1.0.40 needs to be updated before I can resume use. The only big thing that needs updating it seems, are the 3.0.1 and 4.0.0 markers to 3.0.2 and 4.0.1 respectively
Alexander Henket (Apr 08 2020 at 16:03):
The plugin did install in the latest version of Notepad++ so that part is covered
Jose Costa Teixeira (Apr 08 2020 at 16:57):
@Grahame Grieve there are still a few references to 4.0.0 and to 3.0.1 in the code and in the installer. I changed, but not sure if I should commit (i think i changed in the right places only, but you can decide).
Grahame Grieve (Apr 08 2020 at 22:12):
do a PR?
Jose Costa Teixeira (Apr 08 2020 at 22:24):
Done (I think)
Grahame Grieve (Apr 13 2020 at 11:22):
ok I released a new version that should work ok
