I'm trying to install the FHIR plugin for notepad++. However if I follow the link form http://www.healthintersections.com.au/FhirServer/fhirnpp.htm and choose Notepad++ Plugin release 1.0.18 12/01/2016 I end up on the home page instead of the download (http://www.healthintersections.com.au/FhirServer/npp-install-1.0.18.exe/ with or withouth the slash). Any tips how to install the fhirplugin notepad++?

The FHIR plugin worked great - able to generate narratives quickly that look a lot better than my hack and validate and PUT POST easily. But it spawns dozens of IE windows kind of making it a non starter for me. 1) has this been fixed and 2) I forget where I should post bugs to it is here OK?
Eric Haas (Apr 07 2016 at 05:12):
Its pretty easy to install http://www.healthintersections.com.au/FhirServer/fhirnpp.htm
Eric Haas (Apr 07 2016 at 05:13):
just click on a version an follow the instruction. I think that Notepad needs to be closed for a successful update and I usually reinstalled Notepad before updating so really a new install.
Eric Haas (Jun 11 2016 at 02:35):
The notepad++ plugin with windows 10 had an annoying pop-up about needing an App. making it unuseable. also when I do the xml-json the text gets Ids? added in like:
"div" : "<div B88BF977DA9543B8A5915C84A70F03F7=\"4\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\"><ol B88BF977DA9543B8A5915C84A70F03F7=\"5\"><li B88BF977DA9543B8A5915C84A70F03F7=\"6\">CareTeam Member: Kurtis Giles, MD Role = Allopathic&Osteopathic Physicians:Internal Medicine:Cardiovascular Disease</li><li B88BF977DA9543B8A5915C84A70F03F7=\"7\">CareTeam Member: Kathy Fielding, MD Role = Behavioral Health&Social Service Providers:Psychologist</li><li B88BF977DA9543B8A5915C84A70F03F7=\"8\">CareTeam Member: Daniel A Johnson Role = Patient (person)</li></ol></div>"

Has anybody had this happen?
Eric Haas (Jun 11 2016 at 02:40):
will try reinstall and latest version of plugin
Grahame Grieve (Jun 14 2016 at 23:40):

Patrick Werner (Sep 20 2016 at 11:03):
i'm currently trying to get the notepad++ plugin to work with win10.
I always get Access violation errors. I already tried np++ 6.9.1, 6.9.0 and 6.9.2 with the newest version of the plugin. Has anyone managed to get this working with the current version & win10?
Grahame Grieve (Sep 20 2016 at 11:11):
I need to release a new version...
Igor Sirkovich (Sep 20 2016 at 18:25):
@Patrick Werner, I had the same issue on several computers at home and at work (Win 10 & Win 7). If I do fresh install of any version that is newer than 1.0.13, the plugin doesn't work (access violation).My workaround is to install npp-install-1.0.13.exe first and then to install the latest version of the plugin. Then everything works perfectly.
Patrick Werner (Sep 20 2016 at 18:25):
thanks for the hint, i'll try that
Patrick Werner (Sep 20 2016 at 19:35):
unfortunality the older npp plugins versions can't be downloaded anymore :/
Igor Sirkovich (Sep 20 2016 at 19:35):
Let me see if I can attach it here. It's .exe file, so might be blocked.
Igor Sirkovich (Sep 20 2016 at 19:36):
Patrick Werner (Sep 20 2016 at 19:42):
thank you so much @Igor Sirkovich it's working now.
Igor Sirkovich (Sep 20 2016 at 19:43):
You are welcome Patrick.
Igor Sirkovich (Sep 20 2016 at 19:45):
@Grahame Grieve, when you relase a new version of NPP plugin, could you please look into the installation issue? All versions after 1.0.13 only work if installed on top of a previously working version, but don't want if it's a fresh install.
Grahame Grieve (Sep 20 2016 at 19:46):
you have to turn on local extensions in notepad++ - is that the issue? (see the plug-in manager)
Igor Sirkovich (Sep 20 2016 at 19:53):
Interesting, I didn't see this option. I will look at it when I get to a windows machine. However, version 1.0.13 works well even if this option is off and once 1.0.13 is installed, any newer verions installed on top of it works well too.
Simone Heckmann (Sep 21 2016 at 18:07):
Here's a PortableApp version of NotePad++ with the FHIR Plugin installed (don't remember which version). Runs without installation on Win 10 (at least, it does for me):

Grahame Grieve (Sep 26 2016 at 02:54):
I have released a new version of the plug-in. For now, the plug-in has been updated to support FHIR STU3 candidate. It's my intention to support both DSTU2 and STU3, but additonal work is needed, and I thought I should get a fixed version out (fixed for the obvious errors)
Henrik (Sep 26 2016 at 08:26):
Downloaded 1.0.20 today, installed and started Notepad++ (v. 6.9.2). A pop-up with "Unknown exception" and title "Exception" was displayed.
Tried Plugin -> FHIR -> About
another error box appeared.
Grahame Grieve (Sep 26 2016 at 08:30):
any information in the errors?
Henrik (Sep 26 2016 at 08:34):
No specific.
Tested on Windows10. On two different machines. Both as admin and non-admin.
Tried to find a log file for Notepad++, but didn't find it. Images are uploaded to:

Grahame Grieve (Sep 26 2016 at 09:45):
ok try again
Henrik (Sep 26 2016 at 09:50):
Now it start-up successfully. Thank you for your quick response.
Grahame Grieve (Sep 26 2016 at 09:50):
thanks for trying it out
Patrick Werner (Sep 26 2016 at 21:06):
thanks for the update @Grahame Grieve we are currently trying to use your plugin with a local hapi DSTU2 Server. Unfortunately the DSTU2 Server Option in the Plugin settings is always disabled/greyed out. Even after adding our own DSTU2 Server to the list of Servers.
Patrick Werner (Sep 26 2016 at 21:07):
Patrick Werner (Sep 26 2016 at 21:08):
we are getting this error when we are checking the connection
Grahame Grieve (Sep 26 2016 at 23:30):
yes, I disabled that option; I have a little bit more work to do before it can be enabled
Grahame Grieve (Sep 26 2016 at 23:31):
and as you found, hooking it up to a server running DSTU2 will just confuse things more. DSTU2 support using STU3 infrastructure is a work in progress

I installed the fhirplugin a month or so ago and it worked great at first, but validation stopped working a couple weeks ago. I started getting the following error in a dialog box entitled "Fetch a resource": Error validating: error: the element CapabilityStatement is not a valid resource name. What am I doing wrong?
(I've tried uninstalling/re-installing the plug-in, deleting associated files, etc. but it still fails)
Bruce Tietjen (Nov 11 2016 at 17:36):
I also just tried creating a 'Patient' resource using Create New Resource and I received the same error: 'error: the element CapabilityStatement is not a valid resource name.' I suspect that something is wrong in trying to talk to the default configured servers.
Grahame Grieve (Nov 11 2016 at 20:38):
ah yes. you're right. I'll try and get an update out sometime over this weekend
Bruce Tietjen (Nov 11 2016 at 22:55):
Thanks -- It is a valuable tool and we greatly appreciate your work.
Grahame Grieve (Nov 13 2016 at 10:50):
ok, done
Peter Scholz (Mar 17 2017 at 13:43):
Just downloaded from @Grahame Grieve ' page and installed the Version 1.0.24 when trying to build a new Resouce(Template) it crashes:
showing an error about an unknown Code GraphDefinition

Grahame Grieve (Mar 17 2017 at 13:44):
I need to do a new release
Grahame Grieve (Mar 17 2017 at 13:44):
will try and find time tomorrow
Peter Scholz (Mar 17 2017 at 14:56):
no hurry :)
Michelle (Moseman) Miller (Jul 14 2017 at 15:36):
I'm getting the same exact "unknown exceptions" as Henrik reported (above) in Sept 2016... What was the trick to fix this?
Notepad++ - v7.4.2
Plugin - v1.0.26
Grahame Grieve (Jul 21 2017 at 10:49):
I don't know, actually. I've tried to reproduce it and I can't. the original error was a programming error on my part. have you re-installed it?
Michelle (Moseman) Miller (Jul 21 2017 at 13:31):
After re-installing Notepad++, I got it working.
Grahame Grieve (Jul 21 2017 at 14:14):
great
Igor Sirkovich (Aug 10 2017 at 18:35):
Hi @Grahame Grieve When I try any operation (even About) on the Notepad++ Plugin using http://test.fhir.org/r3 for both terminology & FHIR server, I get an error "unknown code: BodyStructure from a set of choice...". I've tried this on 3 different machines and the same error appears on all of them. Notepad++: v7.4.2. Plugin: v1.0.26. I've attached a screenshot with the full error.

Jose Costa Teixeira (Aug 10 2017 at 20:31):
I remember a similar/same issue - perhaps it helps debugging: I got the same thing when running the server with the wrong definitions.json.zip (if i use the r4 in an r3 installation, i get that message)
Grahame Grieve (Aug 10 2017 at 21:41):
what do you have in [npp-install]/fhir? there should be 2 zip files, what are their dates?
Grahame Grieve (Aug 10 2017 at 22:01):
I released an upgrade that should help... the about box at least should load
Igor Sirkovich (Aug 10 2017 at 22:50):
There is only one zip file "fhir3-definitions.zip", its date is July 6, 2017. I've checked on 2 machines (one with a new installation and another with an update on top of an older version of the plugin) and it's the same on both.
Grahame Grieve (Aug 10 2017 at 22:51):
odd. try the upgrade
Igor Sirkovich (Aug 10 2017 at 22:59):
With 1.0.27, "About" works, but when I try to validate or create a new resource, I still get a message about "BodyStructure"
Grahame Grieve (Aug 10 2017 at 22:59):
what does it say in the about box for the definitions source?
Igor Sirkovich (Aug 10 2017 at 23:02):
The path seems correct: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\fhir\fhir3-definitions.zip". The date of this file after upgrade is August 4, 2017.
Grahame Grieve (Aug 10 2017 at 23:02):
hmm
Grahame Grieve (Aug 10 2017 at 23:02):
it's not an install problem then
Grahame Grieve (Aug 10 2017 at 23:03):
oh. it's an installer problem - a wrong path in the install config file.
Grahame Grieve (Aug 10 2017 at 23:03):
I'll do another release
Igor Sirkovich (Aug 10 2017 at 23:06):
Thank you
Igor Sirkovich (Aug 11 2017 at 04:48):
With 1.0.28, everything works perfectly.
Grahame Grieve (Aug 11 2017 at 04:50):
great
