Error getPalette()

[cschwem2er]

Hi,

I'm recently getting an error whyn trying to set a scheme:

brewscheme, scheme(set1) allst(set1) allc(5) allsat(80) replace
Directory exists and rebuild option not specified.  No further action
Directory exists and rebuild option not specified.  No further action
do "/tmp/SD29249.000000"

function getPalette() not declared in class brewcolors

Trying to use the scheme results in another error:

 marginsplot, legend(ring(0) position(12) bmargin(large)) title("") ///
  ytitle("Predicted number of Comments") scheme(set1)

option seriesid() not allowed

Do you have an idea what's the problem here? I'm using Stata14 and already tried a fresh install from the project page.

[wbuchanan]

Not sure why it is doing that. Could you rerun things but add:

set tracedepth 2
set trace on

Before the command? This would at least help me to figure out where things are breaking.

[cschwem2er]

Sure, but it is a loooooooooong output ;-)

Have you tried rebuilding the Mata library?

libbrewscheme, replace

It's really bizarre that one of the Mata methods would have disappeared, but this is the only thing i can think of at the moment. You could also check to make sure the libbrewscheme Mata library is on the path, but i assume it would have failed much earlier (e.g., when initializing rhe object). I'll try to see if I can replicate things this weekend from my wife's computer.

[cschwem2er]

Thanks for investigating. Trying your command from above results in another error:

cbtype() already in library

[wbuchanan]

That means the library is already there somewhere. How many copies of libbrewscheme.mlib are there on the ADOPATH? If there's more than one, delete both and then run the command from the previous comment to make sure there is only a single copy kf the library on the path.

[cschwem2er]

Theres only one copy of libbrewscheme.mlib in the path. I deleted it and ran the command again anyway, but this did not help.
Heres another traceplot:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- begin libbrewscheme ---
- version 13.1
- syntax[, DISplay Locpath REPlace SIze(passthru) ]
- mata: mata clear
- qui: findfile libbrewscheme.mata
- if `"`locpath'"' != "" {
= if `""' != "" {
  qui: do libbrewscheme.mata
  loc dir
  }
- else {
- qui: do `"`r(fn)'"'
= qui: do `"~/ado/plus/l/libbrewscheme.mata"'
- loc dir dir(`"`c(sysdir_plus)'l/"')
= loc dir dir(`"~/ado/plus/l/"')
- }
- qui: mata: mata mlib create libbrewscheme, `replace' `size' `dir'
= qui: mata: mata mlib create libbrewscheme, replace  dir(`"~/ado/plus/l/"')
- qui: mata: mata mlib add libbrewscheme cbtype() Protanopia() Deuteranopia() Tritanopia() colorblind() translateColor
> () brewcolors(), complete
cbtype() already in library

[snipped out the stack trace for the findfile call]

[wbuchanan]

Just got Stata licenses for my office so I should be able to check into things a bit more this week since I'll be using it (can test the install on OSX) and will have the people in my office installing it as well (Windows). This way I can at least have some kind of confidence regarding whether or not the install issue you are facing is strictly due to the OS or something else.

[de-barros]

Just to +1 that I'm experiencing the same problem.

I tried to rerun something from your paper:

brewscheme, scheme(onecolorex1) allsty(ggplot2)

and I get

function getPalette() not declared in class brewcolors

[wbuchanan]

@de-barros & @methodds have you run the libbrewscheme command? The getPalette() method is the last method defined in libbrewscheme.mata and is a member of the brewcolors class, so I'm not sure what is going on with things.

[wbuchanan]

@methodds & @de-barros I'm not sure what is causing the issue you ran into. I just installed on a work machine and didn't have any issues with either of the examples:

 ado, f(brewscheme)

. net inst brewscheme, from("http://wbuchanan.github.io/brewscheme")
checking brewscheme consistency and verifying not already installed...
installing into /Users/FCPS/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/plus/...
installation complete.

. brewcolordb, replace
This program needs to clear all data currently in memory. If this is ok hit enter, otherwise enter the letter 'n'
>  and hit enter to exit the program without clearing data from memory..

Can you confirm that you used the same installation commands as I did in this example?

[cschwem2er]

I reinstalled again using your commands and the problem still remains. I have no idea what's going on :/.

[brad-smith-mequilibrium]

I have this same issue, uninstalled and reinstalled. Install seems to be hung up on

. brewcolordb, replace
This program needs to clear all data currently in memory. If this is ok hit enter, otherwise enter the letter 'n' and hit enter to exit the program without clearing data from memory..
.

It appears to just hang there.

@rowen0718,

Can you try installing this on your machine? It seems like it might be a Windows specific issue and this is the only way I might be able to replicate this issue. This is basically the program we'll use to standardize some options in the data visualizations.

[rowen0718]

Installed it and I get an error at the command brewcolordb, replace. Stata returns an error stating that file c:\ado\personal/brewcolors/colordb.dta could not be opened

@rowen0718
Start up Stata and run:

mkdir C:\ado\personal\

Then try running the command again.

[wbuchanan]

@methodds & @de-barros I tried to replicate your issue from @rowen0718's desktop yesterday, but was not able to replicate it successfully. I'll continue trying to look into things, but I'm not sure what is leading to the error that you experienced.

[wbuchanan]

@brad-smith-mequilibrium did you hit enter and/or enter 'n' after that prompt on the screen? Depending on the speed of your computer/internet connection that command could take a while to execute since it is retrieving and parsing some files from the internet. In either case, it would probably be best to start a different issue for that if you did have a problem with it since it is not related to the issue in this thread.

[wbuchanan]

@brad-smith-mequilibrium I found the issue that you ran into and will try to patch that quickly today if I have time. As for the other issues on the page I just tested from a Windows based machine and it seems to be running without a problem.

[wbuchanan]

@brad-smith-mequilibrium, @de-barros, & @methods,

The errors you listed before should be fixed now. I just pushed a few changes up to the project page today and would definitely appreciate it if you could check to see if this takes care of things for you:

. ado, find(brewscheme)

. net inst brewscheme, from("http://wbuchanan.github.io/brewscheme/") force replace
checking brewscheme consistency and verifying not already installed...

the following files will be replaced:
    c:\ado\plus\jar\brewterpolate.jar
    c:\ado\plus\jar\filesys.jar

installing into c:\ado\plus\...
installation complete.

. brewcolordb, replace
This program needs to clear all data currently in memory. If this is ok hit enter, otherwise enter the letter 'n' and hit enter to exit the program without clearing data from memory.. 
(242 real changes made)

. brewscheme, scheme(set1) allst(set1) allc(5) allsat(80) replace
Directory exists and rebuild option not specified.  No further action
