[annotator-dev] Annotation uri empty in openshakespeare example.

[Ewald Zietsman]

OK so it looks like something is wrong with my annotator.


I've changed the dev.html to include the local store I'm running.

 <script>
      var devAnnotator
      jQuery(function ($) {
        var elem = document.getElementById('airlock');


        this.options = {

            user: { },


            store: { prefix: 'http://localhost:5000/api' }

         }


        devAnnotator = new Annotator(elem)

          .addPlugin('Auth')

          .addPlugin('Tags')

          .addPlugin('User')
          .addPlugin('Store', this.options.store);



devAnnotator.plugins['User'].setUser('alice');
      });
    </script>



I've also changed the store backend to print out the annotation for me every
time I create a new one. I get the following:

127.0.0.1 - - [05/Aug/2011 14:07:37] "POST /api/annotations HTTP/1.1" 200 -
Annotation sent to Roundup module
---------------------------------
account_id    :    None
tags    :    [u'']
text    :    tst3
_rev    :    1-6d881fc51f0ae696bae49cbc878a587b
created    :    2011-08-05T14:07:54.580436
uri    :    None
ranges    :    [{u'start': u'/p', u'end': u'/ol/li', u'startOffset': 427,
u'endOffset': 11}]
annotator_schema_version    :    v1.0
user    :    {'id': u'alice'}
quote    :    None
_id    :    bafa68b0a94965f0c7eff1c637008729
type    :    Annotation
id    :    bafa68b0a94965f0c7eff1c637008729
permissions    :    {'read': [], 'admin': [], 'update': [], 'delete': []}


It seems that everything is going through but for some reason the actual
quote field containing the text portion of the highlighted area is not.
