First installation feedback: unexpected keyword argument 'scope'

Hi Brett,

first and foremost, thanks for opensourcing Contextualise!

I am giving it a try, and I incurred in an error when trying to open my first map. Here’s how to reproduce it:

• logged in as admin@ as per readme
• created new map with title, description and image (form won’t save without an image)
• went to http://127.0.0.1:5000/topics/view/1/home and I got the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Any idea of what might have gone wrong?

Thank you very much again!

@fradeve The problem is related to a recent refactoring in which I added a scope property to the BaseName class. However, I forgot to update the accompanying Contextualise/TopicDB database (SQL) creation script: https://gist.github.com/brettkromkamp/87aaa99b056578ff1dc23a43a49aca89

So, there is a basename table in the contextualise schema/database that requires the addition of the scope field. I’ll provide a fix for this issue, sometime tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience.

@fradeve @charlestondance I think I know what is causing the error: I have made some changes to TopicDB (https://github.com/brettkromkamp/topic-db), the topic map engine that Contextualise uses. Nonetheless, I haven’t pushed the latest version to PyPI (and updated Contextualise’s dependencies accordingly), yet. A temporary work-around would be to uninstall TopicDB (version 1.0) with pip uninstall topic-db followed by cloning TopicDB and doing a pip install -e . inside TopicDB’s top-level directory. Please let me know if this work-around fixes things. In the meantime, I will publish the latest version of TopicDB to PyPI.
