Which is the latest PartDesign&Assembly branch?

[swat_01]

Hi!
I want to work on the new PartDesign work workbench. I've tried clone codes from https://github.com/blobfish/FreeCAD_sf_master.git. But There're lots of crash on "assemblyMergeMaster1" branch and I can not even draw a sketch on "rebaseMaster" branch. So how do i start, which branch I should use?
Edit:By the way, when i build and run, I can not find any features or functions in the assembly workbench.

you won't find any branch with usefull assembly features. The rebaseMaster is pretty new and the current part design head, I have only a few commits more here on my machine. I don't want to push them now as they are not really stable, but maybe end of the week.

Why can't you draw a sketch? A little explanation would be helpful, maybe it's a bug, maybe something we should enhance usability wise.

Hi ickby!
I find out that the PartDesignGui::WorkflowManager is used before init() was called, that case a lots of problem, including unable to draw sketch.
Reappear this should be simple: just open the freecad.exe then switch to PartDesign workbench.

Ok, I have PartDesign as default workbench, so this may be the reason why I don't see this. I will have a look later today. The whole migration workflow is something I need to have a deep look at anyway

I do not have any issues with this. Works flawless here. Please make sure you did a full recompile when checkout this branch, not only an incremental build, and if the error persists I need a more detailed step by step description what happens.

[swat_01]

I'm pretty sure that i did a full recompile on the whole branch, and here's the detail step:
1.launch freecad, and start with startpage workbench;
2.create a new empty document;
3.switch to the partDesign workbench;
then there comes a crash, and the call stack is following:

Hm tested it exactly like described an no problem appears for me. Sorry, I suppose you need to debug this yourself for the time being. If you checked out that branch in a folder with a previous master build I still recommend to delete all build files and recompile, just to ensure that no issue is coming from that (we have seen this often enough)

[swat_01]

before PartDesignGui::WorkflowManager::instance() was invoked, PartDesignGui::WorkflowManager::init() must be called first. So there comes the exception:"Trying to instance the WorkflowManager manager before init() was called."
And I fix it by replacing the throwing line with init().
The implementation explain itself:
WorkflowManager *WorkflowManager::instance() {
if (!_instance) {
throw Base::Exception( "Trying to instance the WorkflowManager manager before init() was called." );//crashed by this line
}
return _instance;
}

Ok, nice work! It would be cool if you could test if the migration of a simple old part design file still works and than provide a pull request on github.

Thanks for reporting. I'm not positive why the bug doesn't triggers for us.. may be some dark magic around QApplication::notify working a bit different on windows and linux...
Pushed to git...
