SmartDashboardFX source code access

[Ben Wolsieffer]

Does anyone know where I could get a copy of the latest source for the new JavaFX SmartDashboard (or SFX or SmartDashboard 2.0 or whatever you want to call it)?

I know that all FIRST code used to be hosted on FIRST Forge, but I am pretty sure they are switching to TeamForge for all the latest code (such as WPILib for the roboRIO, Gazebo Simulator and the other projects).

The SmartDashboardFX project exists on both sites, but the last commit on FIRST Forge to the project is from August 2013, while the latest commit on TeamForge is from January 2014.

The problem is that I can get pull the code off of the svn repo on FIRST Forge, but not the git repo on TeamForge. The git repo uses ssh and uses public key authentication. I uploaded my public key to my account and I was successfully able to pull the RobotBuilder source from TeamForge, but not the SmartDashboardFX source.

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a reason for not allowing teams to access the code, or is this a configuration mistake?

I know it is possible to make extensions without having the code, but I would like to see it to understand the inner workings of the dashboard better and to be able to fix bugs. Also I am interested in making it work with Java 8, which it currently doesn't support. I would rather work with the latest code than code that is half a year old.

Hmm, odd. That is a configuration error. There is a hg mirror on my bitbucket (bitbucket.org/byteit101/sfx*), but yea, the official one is on teamforge, and I'm not sure why its set up like that. I will investigate as (Allow all Site Users and Guests: SCM View > All) is set...

Re: java 8, this is the root cause: https://github.com/jruby/jrubyfx/issues/82 (And I build sfx with github.com/byteit101/JRubyFXML, which has a few minor differences because some of the java 8 fixes i reference in the last comment broke other stuff)

Thanks for the link to your mirror. I don't know if you've tried to fix it yet, but I thought I'd let you know that it still doesn't work for me.

I saw the bug report earlier when I was investigating the bug on Java 8, and added a comment to it, which you might have seen.

I just want to let you know that I am still unable to access the official source code.

When I try to access the online code browser, I get this error:

HTTP ERROR: 403

Problem accessing /gerrit/gitweb. Reason:

    Forbidden

When I try cloning with git, I get this error:

fatal: '/sfx': not a Gerrit project
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Thanks, Ben
