Error trying to perform "Analysis/Fourier Model.." running VStar 2.25.0 (git rev. c19cba7) under linux

I get an error:

NoSuchMethodError:void org.aavso.tools.vstar.util.model.PeriodAnalysisDerivedMultiPeriodicModel.(java.util.List, org.aavso.tools.vstar.util.period.IPeriodAnalysisAlgorithm)

You very likely need to update the Fourier Analysis plug-in via Tool → Plug-in Manager…

I tried re-installing all the plugins via “Tool/Plug-in Manager”, and in ~/vstar_plugins directory all the files seem to be newly installed, whether they are latest version I don’t know. There is a FourierModelCreator.jar file there - is that what you mean? I stll get the same error.

Odd. Could you try deleting all plugins via the Plugin Manager then re-installing please?

You appear to have the latest version of VStar.

David

No luck. No sign of “fourier” anything in plugin-manager after deleting all and reinstalling all. There is a FourierModelCreator.jar in ~/vstar_plugins.

(reply sublect to a couple of glasses of wine)

I was wrong - I missed “Create a Fourier Model …” which I have tried un-installing and re-installing, without luck.

I have downloaded the git and when I run “ant run” I get the same error, and during compilation I get a warning:
.
.
compile_src:
[copy] Copying 1 file to /home/noname/Downloads/VStar/src/org/aavso/tools/vstar/ui/resources
[javac] Compiling 7 source files to /home/noname/Downloads/VStar/src/build
[javac] warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 8

maybe (or maybe not) relevant?

The error you first reported indicates a mismatch between core VStar classes and what the plugin is expecting there.

I’m wondering whether your Plug-in Preferences are pointing to an older version of the plugins. To test that idea, could you please go to Preferences → Plug-ins and tell me what the Plug-in location base URL is? It should be:

https://archive.aavso.org/sites/default/files/vstar-plugins/vstar-plugins-2.25.0

but may not be. If not, you can click the Set Defaults button.

Note that the above is not a complete URL, but is used by VStar as the base for the plug-in store.

Victory!

The plugin default location was pointing to 2.23.0 version. Changing it to 2.25.0, setting defaults, then deleting all in Plugin manager, and adding all in Plugin manager has fixed the problem.
