fails to launch on OS X

[leedo]

I have installed Padre via CPAN on OS X 10.5.5 with perl 5.10.0 from MacPorts?. I did install the DBI and Mac modules through MacPorts? as well, but the rest of the modules through CPAN.

When I try to launch Padre I see a window open, and I can see a few icons appear very quickly. The window then disappears and I get this error message:

laylward:~ leedo$ padre
laylward:~ leedo$ On Mac OS X please run scripts with the 'wxPerl' interpreter
Can't call method "highlight_braces" on an undefined value at /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/Padre/Wx/MainWindow.pm line 1878.

I have also tried launching padre using wxPerl and get the same error, minus the 'wxPerl' warning. Has anyone else gotten Padre to work on OS X?

Schwern managed to install it.
what version of wxWidgets do you have installed?

try to put a return; on the previous line.

This looks like a bug in Padre.

I have wxWidgets 2.8.9 installed

I've added the return statement, and things seem to work if I launch it with wxPerl. However, if I launch Padre with perl 5.10 it creates the window but I can not interact with it at all, I can't even focus the window. I don't know much about wxPerl, but maybe Padre should check for wxPerl at install time and use that if it exists.

I do get this warning using both perl and wxPerl:

laylward:~ leedo$ wxPerl /opt/local/bin/padre 
laylward:~ leedo$ Thu Nov 20 09:52:59 laylward.local wxPerl[85186] <Error>: CGContextRestoreGState: invalid context

A little more research shows that Wx::Perl::ProcessStream? fails the second test in 01-events.t at

my $process = $self->start_process( $cmd );
ok( $process->IsAlive() );

Maybe because it is not spawning the process with 'wxPerl'. I'm not sure if this is related to the original issue or not.

[szabgab]

Could you try with 0.20 force-ing if that test still fails.

[leedo]

It launches perfectly now. It does throw a few warnings, but I haven't noticed any actual problems yet.

laylward:~ leedo$ padre 
laylward:~ leedo$ Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/Padre/Wx/Editor.pm line 730.

Thanks!
