Stream: IG creation
Topic: can we use liquid or other syntax in ig.ini?
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 02 2020 at 19:42):
Minor request/ suggestion:
Can we use some syntax in ig.ini?
template = .\hl7.be.fhir.template is not ideal, because it requires the ig publisher to started from that location
template = C:\ImplementationGuides\be-core\hl7.be.fhir.template is not transportable...
Can i put something in my IG that solves this somehow?
Grahame Grieve (Jan 02 2020 at 19:56):
I don’t understand that. Why ./? Just specify a relative path
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 02 2020 at 20:04):
I'm trying to make ig publisher in the context menu (as you have, I think) and I want to use derived templates
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 02 2020 at 20:05):
when i use the _genonce in the IG folder, relative path (with or without .\) works.
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 02 2020 at 20:06):
but when i use the IG publisher, it launches
java -jar C:\ImplementationGuides\org.hl7.fhir.publisher.jar -ig C:\ImplementationGuides\be-core
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 02 2020 at 20:06):
and it cannot find the template
Unable to load template from mytemplate
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 02 2020 at 20:07):
because it is starting from a different path.
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 02 2020 at 20:07):
(which gives me an idea... let me try something)
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 02 2020 at 20:29):
nope. I was trying to add a "-Duser.dir" to my java command line, but that does not seem to work
Grahame Grieve (Jan 04 2020 at 19:34):
I don't understand this. where is your template (full path)? and what do lines 3 and 4 of the output log say?
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 04 2020 at 19:41):
hmmm...
My IG builds fine, but when I am trying to use the (Delphi) IG Publisher, it does not work because it cannot find the template
Grahame Grieve (Jan 04 2020 at 19:43):
what's the paths?
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 04 2020 at 19:43):
and it cannot find the template because it runs that command line (java -jar...) from wherever the EXE is.
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 04 2020 at 19:44):
my template is in
C:\ImplementationGuides\be-core\hl7.be.fhir.template
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 04 2020 at 19:45):
(as I understood it should for derived templates)
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 04 2020 at 19:49):
so, what I see is that the publish fails if the following happens
- we use a derived template that is not in the cache
- AND the derived template has a relative path (relative to the ini file)
- AND the derived template does not exist in the same line as the IGPublisher.EXE is in
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 04 2020 at 19:52):
(perhaps the condition I should change is the last one...)
Grahame Grieve (Jan 04 2020 at 19:57):
when I look at the code, I see that everything is relative to the directory you nominate -ig
Grahame Grieve (Jan 04 2020 at 19:58):
so I still don't understand the problem, and you still haven't pasted the lines I asked for
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 04 2020 at 19:58):
the java code?
Grahame Grieve (Jan 04 2020 at 19:58):
what do lines 3 and 4 of the output log say?
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 04 2020 at 19:59):
(I'm re-running this to get the log,it's coming.. my Delphi is busy with snomed stuff, trying to get a previously built exe)
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 04 2020 at 20:18):

the command line is

Grahame Grieve (Jan 05 2020 at 00:12):
what does the ig.ini say?
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 05 2020 at 00:22):
ig = input/be.base.ig.xml
template = .\hl7.be.fhir.template
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 05 2020 at 00:24):
"hl7.be.fhir.template" is not a local package, it is the name of the folder that is in my ig.
Grahame Grieve (Jan 05 2020 at 01:59):
so a path like .\ is not supported for templates because it won't work for other people
Lloyd McKenzie (Jan 05 2020 at 02:26):
It could work for other people - but it presumes consistent organization of folder structure, which we'd generally prefer to avoid. On the other hand, the alternative is forcing projects to put their stuff in Git, which they might rather not do.
Grahame Grieve (Jan 05 2020 at 06:38):
not at all.
Grahame Grieve (Jan 05 2020 at 06:39):
you can put it anywhere you like, and do a local build, and then it will be in your cache, and you can refer to it by package id
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 05 2020 at 07:29):
I believe that means that a local build of the template.
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 05 2020 at 07:30):
The idea behind this including the derived templates) is to point someone to a github repo and say "just download this and run this command".
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 05 2020 at 07:31):
Requiring them to first build the template is less than ideal.
Grahame Grieve (Jan 05 2020 at 12:34):
but if you say that the template has to go in a particular relative place, then that's very much less than ideal
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 05 2020 at 12:45):
it goes with the IG.
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 05 2020 at 13:01):
the BE IG is in this situation now - it works if I run the _genOnce.bat, but not the IGPUblisher.exe.
It's not pressing at all, I just wanted to setup the tools in a way that others can use it while having their own file locations.
Jose Costa Teixeira (Jan 05 2020 at 13:02):
What is way more interesting for me now is the ability to use Lists of resources instead of Grouping in the IG - I think the Lists could even help define some of the menus. This is what I'm working on now. The IGPublisher is a nice to have.
