(ProSAPCONN) Step-PlugIn crashes Kettle

[ardy]

Hi folks,

im currently developing a plugin-step. So far it works in kettle 2.3.1 on a windows-machine. When trying to drag&drop it into my kettle-process-chain on a Linux (ubuntu 6.06) i get an errormessage :

java.io.FileNotFoundException: plugins/steps/AbraConvertLogFile/null (No such file or directory)

Any Idea what I do wrong?

EDIT:
Its possible, that this is a SWT-Bug regarding the drag&drop-functionality. When dragging and moving the icon over the process-chain-window following assertion-message is written to the console :
(SWT:32588): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_event_copy: assertion `event != NULL' failed



And by the way: When trying to drag&drop the ProSAPCONN-PlugIn Kettle crashes!


EDIT:
The ProSAPCONN crash occurs when kettle tries to load the ClassLoadError.html file. When removing the Attribute errorhelpfile="ClassLoadError.html" in the corresponding plugin.xml file kettle won't crash, but a similar error-message to mine occurs.



Thanks in advance,
Ardy

Hi Ardy,

could you try the latest dev 2.4. Matt changed a lot in the SWT-field:
http://www.javaforge.com/proj/doc.do?doc_id=3701

I'll check the html-load error.

Thanks for the bug report,
Jens

The problem's solved.
At the end it seems like it was a rights-problem.
Kettle was installed directly under the root ("/") directory. Shame on me. Allthough i explicetly gave all rights to my pentaho-user there would still occur some strange "permission denied"-like errors.

After moving Kettle to /opt/ the errornous behaviour disappeared.
My bad...

Happy pentahoing!
