I am working through the tutorial files included with the ACT-R Standalone Windows distribution. This isn't part of any academics assignment; I'm working on this to learn cognitive modeling and writing production systems. I am using Lispbox, an EMACS-SLIME-LISP bundle to write my cognitive models. The distro and lispbox reside on my flash drive. Finally, the distro uses Clozure Common Lisp.
The problem is that whenever I try to reload a model after making changes, ACT-R gives me this error:
Error Reloading:
#|warning: no load file recorded |#
#|warning: cannot use reload |#
It only does this for my unit 2 assignment model. Not any other model, including the one I have written in unit 1.
Now this is a big issue for me - instead of simply pressing "reload" on ACT-R's GUI, I'm forced to close ACT-R entirely and open it again every time I want to reload the model.
I'm thinking this is a problem with EMACS. I have tried reinstalling ACT-R, and deleting any .lisp~ files or anything else that Emacs has saved in addition to the file I wrote. I still get this error.
Could you please help me understand what's going on and how I can fix this if it ever arises again in the future? I would like to get back to working on my assignment as soon as possible.
I have emailed the creator of ACT-R; He told me that I must include the statement
(clear all)
at the beginning of every file, so the software uses the most up-to-date file when reloading.

Practically all of the exercises in my introductory Perl book have so far required taking input, which is causing me some challenges with Sublime Text 3. I set up the custom build file from this post to run scripts directly and I've also installed REPL on top of that, but I'm still unable to provide input through the bottom console.
Is there a way to enable input for scripts built via Ctrl+B, preferably with the console messages getting a little less in the way? I'm currently stuck with having to fire up the terminal every time, which doesn't make for a particularly smooth learning experience.
This doesn't really help you with your Sublime issue, but you mention firing up a terminal every time isn't helping you learn - here's the way I do it when I'm either learning or rapidly prototyping: Simply setup a folder on your local machine, called sync or something. Create a similar folder on your terminal server.
Now use an app (I use WinSCP and use Keep Remote Directory Up To Date setting) to sync. Every time you press save in your text editor, the new script is automatically uploaded to your terminal server, you can now just alt+tab to your terminal and run the script. Works very well for me and enabled really easy rapid prototyping.
I'm using Practically Macros, but maybe there is some better Eclipse macro player for this task?
I run some commands on huge amount of files.
How do you open all files from a folder - one at a time - recursive, then do some commands on them?
Also is there some better fix for using the save command if there were no changes made? Like only save if changes where made. Now it generates an error so I write an character and then remove it to always be able to save.
I know how to do the file editing, but I first must open the files manually and it takes alot of time because if I select multiple I can't use the open with (Progress OpenEdge AppBuilder (OpenEdge UI Designer) is default and I don't want that but thats not the point here).
Practically Macro example:
*file editing, many commands*
Insert string: -
Delete previous character
Save
Close
Play last macro
This edit all the currently opened files like I want them (beautify).
This generates an error when there is no more files to close. How to fix?
So my macro/progress questions where:
Is there a better macro player for eclipse than Practically Macro?
Is there a way to use the save command only when needed?
Is there a way to not get errors when all files are closed? Or a way to detect when the recursive loop should end.
Is there a way to open multiple files with in Progress Developer Studio in text mode?
Is there a way to recursive open all the files in a folder (one at a time and open with OpenEdge ABL Editor) with macro?
This version of Practically Macro had semi-usable Eclipse macro support for my current version of Eclipse (Mars). Another option that seems to take a more official approach, but hasn't seemed to get much traction yet, is EASE.
If you do these kinds of tasks regularly, you could script things externally, in perl or Node.js or any other of the dozens of high-quality scripting languages out there.
WARNING: there appear to be two older versions of Practically Macro you might stumble upon. One is also on the Eclipse Marketplace but not marked with the trailing "-0". There is also another older one on SourceForge.
I am developing a couple of packages for sublime text, and to avoid copy and pasting massive amounts of code I began to move my classes into separate files. I have been avoiding this so far, since, in my current workflow, changes to files that are not in the main plugin file won't get updated when saved and only go into effect when I restart sublime.
Is there a way to reload a package, including all it's files, without restarting Sublime Text?
You don't actually have to restart the editor. You will have to restructure your plugins though to take advantage of this. Essentially, you can load the plugin files from some top level file. As an example, take a look at Package Control. I also do it in PersistentRegexHighlight (though the package control solution is likely more robust (I did base it on that). Still not as good as simply saving a particular file, but better than restarting! In fact, you could probably tie into the on_post_save event to automatically save the top level file when you modify a child file.
I personally found the easiest solution was to install Package Reloader, and just put a new file in the top directory of my plugin named .build. Save your top-level plugin file and enjoy not having to restart.
Virtually no restructuring of code required.
From the unofficial docs:
Sublime Text will reload top-level Python modules from packages as they change (perhaps because you are editing a .py file). By contrast, Python subpackages won’t be reloaded automatically, and this can lead to confusion while you’re developing plugins. Generally speaking, it’s best to restart Sublime Text after you’ve made changes to plugin files, so all changes can take effect.
Unfortunately, plugins are not loaded into a scope visible from the console (Ctrl`), so you can't just reload() it. EDIT But, you can call reload() from within your top-level plugin file, as detailed in #skuroda's answer.
You'll have to make the decisions on when to break classes out into separate files vs. keeping them together in one monolithic collection. Having 50 files, each with only two or three function definitions is overkill in one direction, while having 20 classes each with 10 or 15 methods all in one file is going overboard in the other, so just do what feels best for the particular project. In my experience killing/restarting ST2 doesn't take too long in any of the supported operating systems (except on XP, for some reason...), so hopefully it's not too much of a delay on your workflow. One suggestion I'd give is to create a portable installation (if you're on Windows) with just the bare essentials in extra plugins if your startup time is too long.
Good luck!
I am having a difficulty while attempting to debug some code in grails. It is difficult to put into text, so I have posted a screencast showing exactly what the problem is here. In short, while I am debugging the debugger starts jumping from place to place and not following the program logic I have in place. The only other similar question I have found is a year old, had no solution, and can be found here.
The best guess I have so far is that the debugger is displaying the text I have typed in, but is actually executing an older version of the class file which it has cached somewhere. Therefore, I tried:
cleaning the project
manually deleting all of the class files from the target folder and from the target-eclipse folder
Searching my entire hdd for additional files with similar names
removing my project from the workspace and re-adding it
closing and reopening the IDE
grails refresh-dependencies
Importing the project into a new IDE (I was using GGTS, I switched to IntelliJ)
None of those solutions had any effect. I realized that the issue was in a .groovy file, and I was writing almost pure Java, so I deleted the .groovy file, and re-created the class in a .java file. That solved my problem. Unfortunately I am having the problem again, and this time it is in a controller that heavily relies on the grails framework, so that solution is not an option. Other than also being in a .groovy file, another similarity is that the code breaks on an if statement.
My next steps:
Verify that the application is not executing the code I see by using print functions to monitor actual execution flow.
comment out the entire function and re-add functionality one line at a time to see if I can see what breaks it.
Delete the .groovy file, and re-create it as another .groovy file.
Any help is appreciated, and since I can't find any answers online I will continue to update this question as I learn more.
See my comment on the jira issue that you raised. You have found a problem with the groovy compiler and how it calculates line numbers. This is not a problem with executing the wrong class files or using a broken debugger. The debugger is doing exactly what it is expected to do. It is the compiler that is providing erroneous line number information.
The next step, as described in the issue, is to provide a simple project that recreates the bug. I tried to do so myself, but could not. So, please supply something that we can work with. Then we can notify the groovy compiler team.
I am using a tWaitForFile component from a Talend Studio Project and I want to know if there is a way to be sure a file to trig the event when this file is fully written on disk.
I tried to set the advanced property : "Wait the file to be released"
but it seems this is useless, the file trigs the component even it is not finished to be transmitted.
Does anybody have the same behaviour and a solution to fix that?
The version of Tos is: 4.2.3
The advanced setting "Wait for file to be released" only works on Windows. It has no effect on Unix, which probably explains why it did not work for you.
It is generally difficult, or even impossible, for a Unix process to figure out if a file has been written completely or not. Consequently, there is no easy way to do this in Talend, either.
(For example, if you wanted to wait until the file size does not change anymore -- how long do you wait?)
A common solution involves the process writing to the file: Create the file under a different name first, and when it is written completely, rename it to the name that the other process expects. That way, it will show up in its full size immediately.
