Beta Testers for Testing

2018-10-21T18:23:33Z

Eax: /* For our Linux Users */ this section is entirely wrong now

If you are interested in Beta Testing then go ahead and continue reading this. If a buggy set or version of pcgen is not what you had in mind then don't bother reading further.

Testing non-release sets - These are the HIGH in demand sets that people want to play with now. These don't have installers and are NOT ready for public use. '''USE THESE AT YOUR OWN RISK'''. They can and will change and create a need to remake character on a frequent basis.

Test Alpha versions of PCGen - These often have new features and associated Bugs.

What is needed as a Tester. You need to report to the Head Monkey in charge of the Set. It's best to report any and all problems on the PCGen Experimental Site.

== OUT OF Q&A TESTING ==

===PAIZO = Advanced Player's Guide ===
* What you need:

* APG Set File -
** [http://pcgen.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pcgen/branches/5.16.x/pcgen/data/alpha/paizo/pathfinder_rpg/advanced_players_guide/?view=tar Advanced Players Guide Tarball Zip File]
** Place in data/alpha/paizo/pathfinder_rpg/advanced_players_guide/'
** NOTE: You'll need to create the folder.

* Core Set File -
** [http://pcgen.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pcgen/branches/5.16.x/pcgen/data/alpha/paizo/pathfinder_rpg/core_rulebook/?view=tar Pathfinder Core Data Set]
** Place in the 'data/alpha/paizo/pathfinder_rpg/core_rulebook/'

==For our Mac Users==

* You'll need to right-click (Command-Click) on the PCGen application and pull down to "Show Package Contents".
* You'll get a window that shows a "Contents" folder.
* Navigate to the Contents/Resources/Java folder and you will see a moderate list of files and folders, one of which is the "data" folder.

Building PCGen

2017-03-06T05:25:07Z

Eax: remove some wrong info; update some info

{| align="right"
| __TOC__
|}
=Building PCGen from the command line=

This process uses the [[Gradle]] tool, you need the following software packages:

* Java Development Kit (aka Java SDK or JDK). You should use the latest version (update) of the JDK 6.0 available for download from [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html here]. At the time of writing this was Java SE 6 Update 45. Java 7 will also work, but no 1.7 specific features should be used in the code just yet. Other JDKs might work, but no one has tried.
* You will also need the latest version of the PCGen source code available from SVN. See [[Subversion Setup]] for details.

Open a command window and change to the root directory/folder where you installed the PCGen source code. There should be a file called build.gradle there.

Type '''gradlew''' at the command prompt. This will make sure you have a clean start and then build the pcgen.jar file. You can start pcgen.jar, pcgen.exe to run it or manually run the jar file using a command line like
<code>./pcgen.sh</code>

To generate the JavaDocs use gradlew javadoc. To run all the tests use gradlew slowtest (which can take a while).

Typing the command <pre>gradlew</pre> will clean the project, build the code and run a small selection of tests.

Typing the command <pre>gradlew slowtest</pre> will build the code and run the full test suite and produce a report.

=Using Eclipse to build PCGen=

You can build PCGen from within Eclipse. It is configured by default to use the gradle dependencies however you will need the "Gradle Integration for Eclipse" plugin which can be installed free from the Eclipse Marketplace.

Once installed, Eclipse will share the jars as specified in build.gradle. You can also accesa gradle tasks from within Eclipse using the "Window > Show View > Other" menu and then selecting "Gradle Tasks".

==Running and debugging==

# Open the PCGen project.
# Open the Run dialog by right-clicking on the PCGen project and selecting Run As > Run Configurations
# Select the Java Application node.
# Press the New button for a new configuration. Edit by field, thus:
Name -> PCGen

Main class -> pcgen.system.Main

VM arguments (Arguments tab) -> -Xmx1024M
# Press Apply to save the configuration.
# Press Run to start PCGen.

You can also run a single test by right clicking on the test and selecting Debug > JUnit Test. This is a great way to track through a bug too.

=Using IDEA to build PCGen=

You can build PCGen from within IntelliJ IDEA. Intellij will recognize the Gradle build for the project and provide access to the tasks.

==Running and debugging==

NB - IDEA will build the software sufficient for running and debugging within the IDE automatically just by following these step. This is not the same as the build from the Building section, above, which builds the software suitable for command-line use.

# Open the PCGen.ipr project file.
# Get the Run/Debug Configurations dialog with Run > Edit Configurations from the menu bar.
# Select the Application tab.
# Press the [+] button for a new configuration. Edit by field, thus:
Name -> PCGen

Main class -> pcgen.system.Main
# Uncheck Display settings before running/debugging.
# Press Ok.

You can now run PCGen with the green right-pointing triangle on the toolbar and debug with the green right-facing beetle on a blue diamond. Or just use the Run menu.

=Using NetBeans to build PCGen=
