Ada-ado and dynamo problem

General

Hello!

I’m experimenting with the ada-ado ORM and I’ve had some success, but I’m having problems with generating a project using dynamo.

I’ve read all the relevant documentation (although they were written 10+ years ago), but I haven’t gotten any further.

First I installed dynamo with the alr install dynamo command.

I tried to use it by first creating an alire project:

alr init --bin ado-test
cd ado-test
alr with ado
alr with ado_postgresql

Then I tried to create an ADO project with dynamo:
alr exec -- dynamo create-project --ado ado_test ptihanyi@mail.local

The result:

Generating file ‘LICENSE.txt’
error: Cannot generate file: ‘ado_test.gpr’ exists already.
Generating file ‘ado_test_config.gpr’
error: Cannot generate file: ‘alire.toml’ already exists.
Generating file ‘Makefile’
Generating file ‘ado_test.properties’
ERROR: Bundle asf not found
ERROR: Cannot localize dates: No bundle ‘asf’
Generating file ‘./src/ado_test.ads’
ERROR: Bundle asf not found
ERROR: Cannot localize dates: No bundle ‘asf’
Generating file ‘./src/ado_test-main.adb’
Your project is now created.
make generate build

After this, I also tried to remove the dynamo installed with the “alr install” command and build it with alire, the same result.
From the error messages regarding ASF, I associated it with the “Ada Server Faces” package. I tried installing this too (alr install serverfaces && alr install serverfaces_unit) but of course it didn’t help.
I downloaded the ada-asf repo, built it with alire and installed it alongside dynamo (make install using same prefix as dynamo). This didn’t help either.

What could be the problem?

The issue is that alr install dynamo does not install all required files and some files holding localized messages from Ada Server Faces (asf) are not installed properly.

There should be no impact on the generation because these messages are only used for localized dates. I’ll try to fix the installation in Alire.
