I will deal with a Node when I move the piece around the workarea. But this will be easy because it will move within the pane by relocate()

And when I track the position, that rectangle is always around. There’s some slight of hand here

@edvin I checked in progress on Word Search Puzzle Builder in which words can be added in the todomvc-style control on the right and placed on the grid by checking them

I haven’t implemented your guidance from today, other than making more things operational for refactoring. Any input on the code from anyone is appreciated.

Here’s the repo: https://github.com/JavaFXpert/wordsearch_tornadofx

@thomasnield I'm having sync issues between github and gitbook - they can't perform the sync automatically, so I have to choose if I want to keep changes from gitbook or from github. Did you push to gitbook or github yesterday?

@javafxpert Great, I'll try to understand more of the app and give some more advice tonight.

Does anyone have experience with testing UI with TestFX in TornadoFX?I have a simple application that switches between two views. I am having troubles with the test of switching between the two views. I am receiving

Exception in Async Thread: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: HBox@117ff69a[styleClass=root]is already set as root of another scene

. It is a problem with my test configuration? Here is an example.

@edvin I push to GitBook. Should I push to GitHub instead?

@thomasnield OK, I'll merge and keep the version from gitbook then!

We're in sync with gitbook again, but as @nimakro pointed out it's time to throw out gitbook. It's grown very slow, and just giving a quick comment to an issue raised there is a gruesome process.

@edvin I've been enjoying GitBook less and less over time as well. The online editor screws up the transpiled Markdown a lot on top of all the other aforementioned issues. Another option...

Is just to use GitHub and use Pandoc to generate the PDF/DOCX files. I've done this with all my O'Reilly content and it works well.

However, the drawback is I don't think it will organize a nice structure like GitBook does. Therefore I'm not super attached to the idea.

@thomasnield Cool! We can write the book integration part of it ourselves, that should be pretty easy 🙂

Running a PanDoc job is pretty easy:

pandoc -o my_file.pdf my_file.md

Of course, you can get pretty crazy with configuring and styling the outputted documents.

Which I've never messed with, but would like to.

@edvin I looked at it, but did not do anything with it yet. still need to make clear what I want to do with it in my head

why not use hugo or jekyl?

@ron I've heard good things about Jekyl. Haven't looked at it but definitely not opposed to exploring it.

and I love the docs in epub

I use hugo a lot and like it

I'll mess with it today or tomorrow. Any good getting started materials on it?

the hugo site itself is very good in documenting stuff

So many options 😁

@edvin I'll take a look : )

Much of the functionality is in the word search puzzle builder now, albeit unidiomatic :-) Time to address dragging words around
