If the Assistant Command Isn't Available

Verify that the Rapid Turnaround Mode is active. Check the messages in the Launch panel. At the bottom, you'll see the following messages:

Sep 28 16:08:56 D2JCTutorial[679] Your application's URL is: http://localhost:8888/cgi-bin/WebObjects/D2JCTutorial Sep 28 16:08:56 D2JCTutorial[679] Waiting for requests...

Look just above the "Your application's URL is..." message. If you see a message such as the following:

Sep 28 15:54:29 D2JCTutorial[666] ***** PLEASE NOTE: Rapid turn-around is not active for your application. The configuration assistant will not be made available in the client application since it will not be able to modify your project's user.d2wmodel rule file. Your NSProjectSearchPath user default must be set to an array of paths where your project can be found, for example you can launch your application like this: MyApp -NSProjectSearchPath '(/some/path/theDirectoryWhereMyProjectIs)'. To completely disable the assistant use a -EOAssistantEnabled NO flag when you start the application.

then your NSProjectSearchPath is set incorrectly.

Quit the client and server applications. Change the launch arguments for your application to include an argument for NSProjectSearchPath. (Refer to step 2 in Building and Running the Application for help setting launch arguments.)

By default, NSProjectSearchPath is ../.., which is generally sufficient for running "out of the box." However, if you've customized your build environment, you might need a different setting.When the argument is set properly, you should see the following message:

Sep 28 16:14:30 D2JCTutorial[683] ***** PLEASE NOTE: The configuration assistant will be made available in the client application. To disable the assistant use a -EOAssistantEnabled NO flag when you start the application.
