I've tried to do all the process from scratch. These are the results:
WiaB modification and compile: ---------------------------------------------- I had to do an extra step to get WiaB to compile with the provided modifications:: Edit the wave-in-a-box/src/org/waveprotocol/box/server/ImportServlet.java file, and modify the package line to this: "package org.waveprotocol.box.server.waveserver;" Otherwise WiaB will fail to compile (at lest in my host). Wave exporting (from Google Wave to disk): --------------------------------------------------------------- On wave export, about 2k waves gave some sort of error, and about 1.5k were succesful (I lost the console message on the window scroll, sorry). History is exported, each diff to a separate file on disk. This is the most time-consuming step, took it more than an hour to process all 3.5k waves I seemed to have on my Google Wave account. If you want to see the progress, you can run this on a different console: ====================== wavesPath="./exported"; watch -n 1 -d --color 'ls -t '$wavesPath' |sed "s/#.*//g;s=^=https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:wave:=g";|uniq -c' ====================== Where "./exported" should be changed to the path you chose for wave exporting. Wave importing (from disk to WaveInABox): --------------------------------------------------------------- On wave import, the reported counts were: ====================== Imported count 29 Not imported count 3507 Skipped count 0 ====================== Not sure whether history is imported in this step, or rather everything is condensed into a final state. I'd guess the former, but I don't know. Accessing WiaB: ------------------------- Then I try to access WiaB for the first time since its installation. First I try to create my user, then login to see which waves are effectively available. However I have troubles creating the user, which is something that hasn't happened to me other times when I've installed default WiaB: ====================== HTTP ERROR 500 Problem accessing /auth/register. Reason: Message missing required fields: account_type, account_id Caused by: com.google.protobuf.UninitializedMessageException: Message missing required fields: account_type, account_id at com.google.protobuf.AbstractMessage$Builder.newUninitializedMessageException(AbstractMessage.java:550) at org.waveprotocol.box.server.persistence.protos.ProtoAccountStoreData$ProtoAccountData$Builder.build(ProtoAccountStoreData.java:313) [...] ====================== Conclussions: --------------------- Unfortunately, it's a FAIL. Does anyone know about the last error when trying to register a user in WiaB? Should I revert the changes from WaveImport, in order to get a default WiaB installation? Thanks for any help!
