Stats Extension: No stats.jar file - netlogo

Has anyone tried to use the latest stats extension 1.3.1? I have tried, but when I unzip the file there is no stats.jar or stats.jar.gz files, like there was in the 1.2.1 version. If you have used it how did you get it to work?
I need it because it has a beta distribution function and is also easier to get up an running than the R extension (I have a locked down system).

The stats.jar file was missing from release v1.3.1. There is now a new release, v1.3.2, that contains stats.jar.

It seems like the jars have not been packaged with the currently available release at https://github.com/cstaelin/Stats-Extension/releases/tag/v1.3.1.
This is most likely a simple oversight from the author. I have opened an issue on GitHub.
In the meanwhile, you can still get an old jar from the git archive or try to build the extension yourself.

Visual Studio Code (VSCode) - how to update the standalone (.zip) version?

There is no "check for updates" when using the standalone/no install version.
What is best way to update a standalone version without losing settings etc.?
According to my experience (VSCode in a standalone .zip file uncompressed in D:\ using Win7 OS) you just need to download and uncompress the archive containing the new version (v 1.41.1).
When you run Code.exe in the new folder, your settings file is used and everithing is OK. (then, when you are really really sure that it is everithing OK, you could delete the old version).
If you changed the default settings file location, take a look at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings#_settings-file-locations
From the official doc it says when downloaded through zip file, one has download the release manually for each update and place the unzip version inside the Program files (Windows).
According to the special portable page all the settings, plugins, etc. of the standalone version
are stored in the data-folder. So assuming you called your vscode-folder vscode:
download the new version
unpack to vscode2 folder adjacent to current vscode
move data folder from vscode to vscode2
delete old vscode-folder
rename vscode2 to vscode
done
P.S.: Current portable versions notify about new version, but clicking on it leads to download, so above list still applies.
Edit 2020/08/04: To make a "normal" install portable one just needs to create the data folder inside the installation/unpack directory of VSC.
To download the old archive, replace user|system with archive in the URL.
Before:
https://update.code.visualstudio.com/1.69.2/win32-x64-user/stable
After:
https://update.code.visualstudio.com/1.69.2/win32-x64-archive/stable

Upgrade kentico from 9 to 10

When i trying update kentico to 10 version i have a some problem:
"the selected folder is missing a vital kentico component"
but I'm sure I chose the right folder. Who mean why?
It looks as if you are attempting to use the Kentico Hotfix Utility to upgrade from v9.0.50 to hotfix v10.0.41, which is not supported by Kentico. You cannot use the Kentico Hotfix Utility to upgrade Kentico from one major version to another. You need to:
First upgrade the project from 9.0.X => 10.0 - upgrade documentation available at https://docs.kentico.com/k10/installation/upgrading-to-kentico-10
Then you will need to run the project.
Then you can apply the latest hotfix utility - available at https://devnet.kentico.com/download/hotfixes
Then run the project again.
I appreciate you had a missing lib folder, but even if this were present, you still can't perform a major version upgrade using the hotfix utility.
I think in your case, you only have the CMS folder from deployment. But the upgrade needs the Lib folder which was not needed for deployment.
What you can do is to find the Lib folder from another instance or just install V9 of CMS, and you can find the missing Lib folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Kentico\9.0\Webinstaller\Web
Few things can cause this:
Customized core files
Missing dll's
Changes in the web.config which cause Kentico references to be broken
and some other issues, but these are the most common we see.
Have you tried to open the project within Visual Studio and build the project? Secondly, are you selecting the directory with the CMS and Lib directory in it?
Does your project has the default structure or is it loke it was installed to the root of the web site? Default structure is some folder and underneath are the CMS, Lib and also the .sln file and few others. Looks like you have just the content of the CMS folder. In this case you either need the original project or upgrade the manual way.
You may also run CodeUpgrade tool from Kentico
Basic detection
Run CodeUpgrade.exe from the command line, with the path to your project’s solution file as the parameter (WebSite.sln or WebApp.sln).
For example:
CodeUpgrade.exe C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Kentico9\WebSite.sln
The tool generates a csv file containing a list of custom code occurrences in your project that are no longer valid in Kentico 10. The information will help you update your custom code after you perform the upgrade.
Source - Kentico documentation The documentation has all the commands to run and detect the incompatible code. This might help you.

Extension not found error with control flow extension

I am trying to use https://github.com/qiemem/ControlFlowExtension as an alternative to if-else.
I have it to added to the extensions folder(C:\Program Files (x86)\NetLogo 5.1.0\extensions). The extracted zipped folder from github.
In the NetLogo code I use the following,
extensions[ControlFlowExtension-master]
But it still shows me the following error:
There is no release for the extension yet. The zip file that you downloaded is just the source code and doesn't contain the compiled JAR files that you need to use the extension with NetLogo.
If you want to try it out, you will have to build it yourself. For that, you will need to install sbt. Then, open a command terminal and cd to the folder where you unzipped the file you downloaded from GitHub. This folder should be under the NetLogo extensions folder and be called cf (rename it if it is not the case). Once you are in the cf folder, run:
sbt package
This should build cf.jar and allow you to use the extension by putting
extensions [ cf ]
at the top of the code tab in your NetLogo model.
Be aware, though, that the extension is still very much experimental. There may be bugs. The syntax could still change. This is why Bryan did not put out an official release yet.

Is it OK to delete a .nupkg file?

I'm new to NuGet -- just started using it and got myself a copy of WatiN.
I'm trying to trim down the size of the folder that was pulled back before I put it into version control. I noticed that WatiN.2.0.50.nupkg is about 12mb. I noticed from this link that the .nupkg is essentially a compressed version of the package contents. Is it OK to delete it, or might doing so cause any issues in the future?
If you delete it we can't update/uninstall since we use that file as a record of what is currently installed. We're looking at a feature that would allow people to restore the packages from packages.config so you could avoid putting packages in source control altogether.

Best practices for using Hg with Grails?

What should I check in/not check in? Since many of the files are sometimes auto-generated I'm not entirely sure how to handle this using version control...does it have something to do with tags?
For instance in ANT, I know not to check-in my target/bin directories...but Grails adds another level of confusion to this...since some of code is generated and some of it is not.
(It may become clearer as I go...but it seems to be that there needs to be some way of being able to tell what was just generated and what was modified by a developer so that it needs to be placed in version control)
Here's the .hgignore directory I've got on my most recent grails project (with a couple of project specific things taken out):
syntax: glob
out
target
logs
*.iml
.idea
*.iws
*.war
workspace.xml
lib/build
lib/compile
lib/runtime
lib/test
~$*
stacktrace.log
*.tmproj
*.launch
reports/
*.orig
*.zip
.DS_Store
*/.DS_Store
web-app/WEB-INF/classes
cobertura.ser
The generated code in Grails should be placed under version control. It's not secondary executable code that is generated by the build process like class files, but instead is code that is part of your source. The generated code is intended to be just a starting point for your application and will most likely be modified at some point anyway.
