ls workaround: (was Creating new project: 500 exception)

[JoyMonteiro]

Hello,

I tried creating a new unfiltered project using the instructions in
http://unfiltered.databinder.net/Try+Unfiltered.html

It always seems to die with a 500 exception.

I then tried
g8 http://github.com/unfiltered/unfiltered-netty.g8

and it gave me a 301 "Moved Permanently" exception. I verified that that URL exists.

If I try
g8 git://github.com/unfiltered/unfiltered-netty.g8

I again get a 500 Unexpected response error.

However,
g8 n8han/giter8

works perfectly.

Any pointers as to what I'm doing wrong?

I also tried the variants
g8 softprops/unfiltered
g8 unfiltered/unfiltered-netty

as well, and again it fails with the 500 exception.

TIA,
Joy

I got a similar error while creating a project from template i have locally
g8 file:///Users/Mithun/template.g8

Unexpected response status: 500

When i disable my internet and try to create the project i came across that it is trying to connect to the URL http://ls.implicit.ly/api/1/latest/giter8-plugin?user=n8han

Accessing the URL through browser will return Internal Server Error which HTTP response code 500

I'm getting a similar problem with local repos too, though the url is:
http://ls.implicit.ly/api/1/latest/unfiltered?user=unfiltered

Any workaround that you know of?

TIA,
Joy

I am not able to sort from where this URL is called 😞 or is there a way to disable checking for latest API.

Can you please assign a bug label to this issue

@JoyMonteiro The parameter giter8_version = ls(giter8-plugin, n8han) in the default.properties file which was causing problem ( accessing http://ls.implicit.ly/api/1/latest/giter8-plugin?user=n8han ) for me. i commented out the param in my template and it worked fine

can you check for the parameter giter8_version = ls(unfiltered, unfiltered) in template properties file.

All the best 👍

I had the same issue, when trying to run

$ g8 unfiltered/unfiltered

The workaround @maxmithun described worked for me as well. I cloned https://github.com/unfiltered/unfiltered.g8 into a local repo, changed the value of the property unfiltered_version in file src/main/g8/default.properties from
unfiltered_version = ls(unfiltered, unfiltered) to unfiltered_version = 0.8.4.

Then I could run g8 like so

$ g8 file:///path/to/local/unfiltered.g8

without problem.

• delete ls integration? #179
• ls.implicit.ly returns status 500 softprops/ls#76

We should catch ls(...), warn the user, and let them enter the version number manually.

[foxmk]

Should we close the issue, since we are not using implicit.ly anymore?

We might need to still warn the user if it's used in a template.
