@ron

find(SomeComponent::class)

is also outdated by the way. The cool kids do

find<SomeComponent>()

now 🙂

so we went from

tab("category view", find(CategoryTabView::class).root) { tabClosingPolicy = UNAVAILABLE }

to

find(SomeComponent::class)

to

find<SomeComponent>()

@edvin With 1.2 out now, you should be able to do

find() as SomeComponent

@Ruckus Ah cool, I haven't ready up on the changes yet!

I did update TornadoFX to depend on Kotlin 1.2.0 though 🙂

@ron No, you should use

tab<CategoryTabView>()

Or even

tab<CategoryTabView> { tabClosingPolicy = UNAVAILABLE }

Personally, I think the guide should demonstrate the idiomatic way to do everything. The development from how you would do it without TornadoFx leading gradually to the finished idiom is useful, but should be in an appendix or design notebook or something.

@g4sarma are you using Linux by any chance?

I was having a horrible time with Linux, Gradle, and Intellij IDEA. Windows is working fine for some reason. On Linux, I switched to Intellij EAP and everything runs smoothly again.

@thomasnield What Linux? Mint? I use Fedora and haven't really had any issues (other than the OpenJDK lack of JavaFX by default).

I was using Linux Mint 18.1 and 18.2 I think.

Which is based off Ubuntu, don't remember which version

Gradle/Intellij IDEA was failing on both my System76 laptop and my ASUS desktop.

Interesting

And I collectively probably spent three hours trying to figure out what in the world was wrong. Dependencies were not pulling in, I was getting strange Gradle errors, etc. It seems to work fine on the EAP now.

Anyone how has some experience with connecting to MS -Sql server using JDBC ?

@g4sarma yes. You want to use this driver http://jtds.sourceforge.net/faq.html

No i using the JDBC

driver

Yes, that is a JDBC driver

So i wanted to know if i need to supply the dll file along with the build ?

@g4sarma that works around it.

And it should work out-of-the-box for most cases. MS one is just a pain to use because of the DLL

So how do i create my connection

I mean i have a DB which doesn't require a username/password to access

@g4sarma This article might help you. It's about Talend Open Studio which is a Java program like TornadoFX. I think you will need the DLLs for Windows Authentication and a special connection string

Also, this might be needed on the MS SQL server side (not the client code)
