Are you having any problems? Do you need our help with anything?
I cant test fathead type IA's. Any help regarding that would be great.

@cskksc We have ruby 1.8.7 and I'm getting this error:

sudo gem install nokogiri                                                                   
ERROR:  Error installing nokogiri:
        nokogiri requires Ruby version >= 1.9.2.

Could you change your parse script to work with 1.8.7 or should I look into upgrading ruby?

[ckoparkar]

We can install an older version of nokogiri by gem install nokogiri -v 1.5.10, which is compatible with ruby-1.8.7. I have verified that this version of nokogiri doesn't break anything.

[jdorweiler]

@cskksc thanks, that worked but I'm getting this error when trying to run parse.sh

parse.rb:3:in `require': no such file to load -- nokogiri (LoadError)
        from parse.rb:3

[ckoparkar]

@jdorweiler Sorry for all the trouble. I have re-written the parsing script in python, using Beautiful Soup. This is used by many other IA's and shouldn't cause any problems with the dependencies. I'm not exactly sure why we're getting an error with nokogiri.

[jdorweiler]

Could you change to python2.7

[jdorweiler]

@cskksc Sorry we haven't had a fathead done in Ruby in a while so I think our install is a bit out of date. Your python script works great though. Just one small comment thing I found.
Let me know what you think: https://ddh10.duckduckgo.com/?q=julia+aws&ia=about

You can see the trigger words I added on the IA page https://duck.co/ia/view/julia
Any other trigger words that you would like?

Could you remove the version number? I think that's likely to go out of date frequently.

[ckoparkar]

@jdorweiler It looks awesome 😃. I cannot think of any other triggers to add. Those would cover almost everything I think. Also I had messed up the redirect links. Eg. Had missed the the 3rd param, which decides where to redirect. Could we please deploy again to check if it is working now ?

[jdorweiler]

@cskksc you will need to join the redirect entries by tabs just like the normal abstract entries.

[ckoparkar]

Yeah, that also was wrong. Have fixed it.

[jdorweiler]

@cskksc looks good now, thanks.

[ckoparkar]

@jdorweiler Looks cool. When are we planning to deploy into production ? Are there some fixed release cycles, or more tests ?

[jdorweiler]

@cskksc we're actually working on a new way for deploying fatheads so it might be another week or two. Could be earlier but I'll ping you when it's ready to go.

[ckoparkar]

@jdorweiler hey, when is this planned to be in production.

[jdorweiler]

@cskksc sorry for the delay. Looks like we will be ready for it next week.

[ckoparkar]

Its okay. Just curious. PS. its my first contribution. 😃

[jdorweiler]

@cskksc I'll ping you when it's live but we're ready to go now! 🍰

[jdorweiler]

@cskksc https://duckduckgo.com/?q=julia+aws&ia=about
Sorry it took so long!

[ckoparkar]

@jdorweiler Not at all. It looks nice. Thanks a lot. :)

[ckoparkar]

@jdorweiler Hey, I've started a thread on julia mailing list. Can you please help by sharing some information there ? Here's an interesting one.

[jdorweiler]

@cskksc thanks! Sounds like people like the IA 😄
The query with "images" is going to be tricky since it's generally a strong indication that someone is looking for actual images.

@cskksc congrats! It's live: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=julia+arduino&ia=about
