Running Products.Gloworm on Plone 4

cookbook, Plone

For some reason, the TTW developer tools tend to get neglected in the Plone world. A valuable tools such as Clouseau has fallen out of favour and now Gloworm, the @@manage-viewlets replacement/complement won't run in Plone 4 (at least at version 1.0, which is the latest right now on PyPI).

Fortunately, Gloworm has been updated in svn trunk. To get the latest version you need to add it to sources (in buildout.cfg or develop.cfg):

[buildout]
eggs +=
     Products.Gloworm

[sources]
Products.Gloworm = svn https://weblion.psu.edu/svn/weblion/weblion/Products.Gloworm/trunk/

Next, run in the shell:

#bin/develop co Products.Gloworm
#bin/develop rb
