ADG empty column regression issue with 4.11
Hi, Found a regression issue with 4.11 do to changes in ADG's itemToLabelWithoutFormatting. Code example here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34132 While it is a regression issue it's not a serious one IMO and has many workaround. You'll unlikely to run into this in a real application, as most ADC columns will have dataFields or via labelFuctions or item renderers. The changes made were probably what the function intended in the first place, as previously this code would return before falling though to the data.toString() call at the end of the method. What do other people think? It easy enough to change back to the slightly faulty implementation or we can document it as a difference. Thanks, Justin
ADG Bug of the day
Hi,
Anyone see anything wrong with this method (from the ADG)?
mx_internal function columnWordWrap(c:AdvancedDataGridColumn):Boolean
{
if (c.wordWrap == true)
return true;
if (c.wordWrap == false)
return false;
return wordWrap;
}
Turns out wordWrap is a * and should only have the values true, false and
undefined. Who would like to bet that it may be set to other values? :-)
Thanks,
Justin
Re: ADG empty column regression issue with 4.11
What is the practical purpose for not specifying dataField or labelFunction? If it were up to me, I'd wait until someone says it broke them before spending energy working on it. -Alex On 3/10/14 11:10 PM, Justin Mclean jus...@classsoftware.com wrote: Hi, Found a regression issue with 4.11 do to changes in ADG's itemToLabelWithoutFormatting.

Re: ADG Bug of the day
At Adobe, the policy was GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out). If you provide
values outside of the allowed values, we did not promise anything
reasonable would happen and we generally did no check the values assigned.
Do we want to switch to a policy to fatten and slow down the SDK with
input checking?

Re: ADG empty column regression issue with 4.11
Hi, What is the practical purpose for not specifying dataField or labelFunction? Not much, but I have see empty columns in ADG for cosmetic reasons (you want the ADG to take up all the space but not stretch other columns) and to get around ADG resizing issues (it tends to change the width of the last column when fixed column widths are specified). If it were up to me, I'd wait until someone says it broke them before spending energy working on it. Fair enough + that's my thoughts as well - but the fix if required is straight forward. Thanks, Justin
Re: ADG empty column regression issue with 4.11
Ah yes, the fake column on the right. I've suggested that to people in the past. If you've got a fix ready to go, might as well check it in. -Alex On 3/10/14 11:37 PM, Justin Mclean jus...@classsoftware.com wrote: Hi, What is the practical purpose for not specifying dataField or labelFunction?

If you provide values outside of the allowed values, we did not promise anything reasonable would happen and we generally did no check the values assigned. Do we want to switch to a policy to fatten and slow down the SDK with input checking? In this case doing a check against undefined is probable faster and IMO more clearly states what is going on. if (c.headerWordWrap == undefined) return headerWordWrap; else return c.headerWordWrap; That's one check and one property lookup if it's undefined or one check and two property lookups if not. if (c.wordWrap == true) return true; if (c.wordWrap == false) return false; return wordWrap; That's two checks and two property lookups if it's undefined or one or two checks and one or two property lookups if not. Thanks, Justin
Re: ADG empty column regression issue with 4.11
Hi, If you've got a fix ready to go, might as well check it in. The original behaviour was a little broken in that it wouldn't call toString at all, so I think the new 4.12 code is what was actually intended but it's hard to know. Thanks, Justin
Re: ADG Bug of the day
Hi, And give the default is undefined it make sense to make that the faster path IMO. Am I missing something? Do you think otherwise? Thanks, Justin
Re: ADG Bug of the day
There are plenty of places to improve SDK code. If that's your itch, start scratching. I don't know how much you'll actually save after the JIT, but hey, I won't veto it (unless you use == instead of ===). I think all undefined checks should use ===. Otherwise it would match null. -Alex On 3/10/14 11:51 PM, Justin Mclean jus...@classsoftware.com wrote: Hi, And give the default is undefined it make sense to make that the faster path IMO.

Re: ADG Bug of the day
Hi, I don't know how much you'll actually save after the JIT No idea either - plus it very likely this is not exactly a bottle neck in the ADG code. But the original code did offend me as it's meaning was IMO less than clear. Thanks, Justin
Re: ADG Bug of the day
Hi, I won't veto it (unless you use == instead of ===). I think all undefined checks should use ===. Otherwise it would match null. JFYI There probably 100+ places in the SDK were we use == undefined rather than == undefined. From a quick search it look like === undefined is used is a few more places. There's a simple patch if someone want to test and submit one :-) Thanks, Justin

RE: [DISCUSS] Discuss Release Apache Flex SDK Installer 3.0 - RC6
I think it should be enabled after exception, because when I get back my internet connection I could try to install Flex once again without restart installer. ALEX: That is way more work than I would like to take on. I think it's not clear to the users Installation aborted means you have to exit the installer and start over. So maybe the Installation aborted message in the log should be changed to something more explicit, such as: Installation aborted. Restart the installer to try again. That's a simple change. WDYT?

RE: [DISCUSS] Discuss Release Apache Flex SDK Installer 3.0 - RC7
About what to do when the installation aborts ( copied from RC6 thread) Piotr proposes to retry when the connection is recovered (or at least have a retry button). I understand and agree (dixit Alex) that's way more work that we want to put in the installer. IMO, the problem is that it's not clear to users, when the installation has aborted, that you have to *restart* the installer. So maybe the Installation aborted message in the log should be changed to something more explicit, such as: Installation aborted. Restart the installer to try again. That's a simple change. WDYT?

Flash Player extended support
Hi, Just saw this: http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2014/03/upcoming-changes-to-flash-players-extended-support-release.html Does anyone else think this is a little strange given FP 13.0 is still in beta? Thanks, Justin

Well if you're referring encourage IT organizations to thoroughly test our version 13 part. It would make me question what large changes they are concerned about.

Look at the 'new features' on Labs - basically none. And was v12.0 so much different to v11.whatever ? My guess is they've just stripped a ton of code out now they don't have to support Android or other Linux platforms. Tom

Re: ADG Bug of the day
Not surprising. The question is whether you truly care if null is supposed to be a separate value than undefined. On 3/11/14 12:17 AM, Justin Mclean jus...@classsoftware.com wrote: Hi, I won't veto it (unless you use == instead of ===). I think all undefined checks should use ===. Otherwise it would match null. JFYI There probably 100+ places in the SDK were we use == undefined rather than == undefined. From a quick search it look like === undefined is used is a few more places. There's a simple patch if someone want to test and submit one :-) Thanks, Justin
Re: ADG empty column regression issue with 4.11
Ah, the empty catch change. I didn't actually run the code, but I cannot figure out how it would return [object object]. If dataField is null, wouldn't it set data = null? BTW, I didn't think of this at the time, but sometimes, folks create proxy-based objects that don't implement property enumerators and then I think in might throw an exception, so there's some risk there. -Alex On 3/11/14 12:19 AM, Justin Mclean jus...@classsoftware.com wrote: Hi, What change was this?

Re: [DISCUSS] Discuss Release Apache Flex SDK Installer 3.0 - RC7
I see another serious problem (sorry) After caching is enabled, it seems like the nightly builds are being cached as well. For example, under the .../LocalStore/job/flex-falcon/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/out directory, there is a apache-flex-falconjx-0.0.1-bin.zip. If this gets built for every checkin, then we should not be caching this file. The config file should probably have a dont cache property that can be set.

Re: [DISCUSS] Discuss Release Apache Flex SDK Installer 3.0 - RC7
I can't figure out the tooltip thing. Could it be from an app underneath the installer? I can't reproduce getting stuck by unplugging during the download of the SDK. I've gotten it to partially download and then get stuck in the MD5 calculation on Windows 7 for VMWare. Right now, my sense is that, when the network is good, the installer is working fine. I think we've made things sufficient when there's no network at all at startup. But I'm beginning to question the value of spending more time on trying to make things better when you pull the plug during the install. Installer 2.7 and older have suffered from incomplete AIR SDK downloads that get stuck in the cache and I don't think it has been a detriment to the project.

RE: [DISCUSS] Discuss Release Apache Flex SDK Installer 3.0 - RC7
I can't figure out the tooltip thing. Could it be from an app underneath the installer? It's an icon on Windows desktop. Weird. The tooltip also appears when any other app is in the front, but the cursor is just above that desktop icon. Windows' bug? Anyway, it's not the installer ;-) Regarding the pull the plug, I didn't mean it as a realistic scenario, and obviously it's not. It was just an easy way for me to detect how connection errors are handled in various places in the code, without looking in the source code. The better way (as someone suggested) would be to install a reverse proxy that can simulate network latency, but I don't have enough time for putting that in place, sorry. My concern about this is that folks in some places with not so good, or intermittent network connections, won't be able to use the installer to install FLEX SDK, and that would eventually give a bad image of the product. But I don't have any evidence of this. So let's wait until folks complain (if ever they do). Anyway, I won't vote -1 on the installer for this.

I thought byte code from playerglobal did not actually get linked into any SWF. Actually, that's sort of important from a dependencies point of view. What are the other differences, if any, between these playerglobals? -Alex
Re: ADG empty column regression issue with 4.11
I would definitely wait. IIRC, we did make an attempt to not return [object Object] in these itemToLabel calls. -Alex On 3/11/14 9:18 PM, Justin Mclean jus...@classsoftware.com wrote: Hi, I know it's easy to fix - the question is was it broken in the first place and is the current behaviour more correct? (Despite it being a regression?) And if we do fix is it worth making a point release or waiting until 4.13? Thanks, Justin
Re: [DISCUSS] Discuss Release Apache Flex SDK Installer 3.0 - RC7
Hi, I thought byte code from playerglobal did not actually get linked into any SWF. Think there some code that does. Can't recall exactly what but the was a thread about it way back on this mailing list. Actually, that's sort of important from a dependencies point of view. What are the other differences, if any, between these playerglobals? In this case I sorted the swfdumps and did a diff and it only tells me that the debug password and build date had changed. Only Adobe would know (and they don't even announce when it changes as far as I know). I'd assume it would be security patch related. I usually pick up that it's changed as the MD5 hashes no longer match. Thanks, Justin
[FLEXJS} Musing about Mustella
Hi folks, I just checked in enough code to get the Button and CheckBox test from the SDK's checkintest to run under FlexJS. There's another half-dozen or so tests we should probably finish converting since we have those components in the FlexJS framework. Getting some sort of checkintest running is one of the last things I want to do before cutting an an initial official FlexJS release. This checkintest works like the SDK test. It compiles a SWF and runs it and examines the output. The next step is to run the same tests cross-compiled to JS. I'm about to start porting the Mustella classes to JS, but I'm wondering if that is the right strategy or not. I was looking at the Marmotinni stuff that Erik did a while back that uses Selenium to run tests in the browsers. The actual test seem to be written in Java. I think it would be nice to be able to repurpose the MXML mustella tests and get them to run as cross-compiled tests. I think some choices are: 1) See what happens when Mustella is cross-compiled. I'm pretty sure this won't work. It could be an early test of what it will be like to support other third-party AS frameworks, but Mustella is relying on some low-level Flash things like frame events, security sandboxes, etc, so I don't think it is a fair test. We could fork Mustella and strip some of that stuff out though, but I'd rather not have a fork of Mustella around to maintain. 2) Make parallel Mustella JS files. That's the direction I'm taking right now. That's a valid FlexJS way since FlexJS is mostly about parallel AS/JS frameworks. I still need a way to run the test in the browser and collect output. Hence the desire to see if Marmotinni could do that. 3) Write some test converter that converts a Mustella MXML script into Java code or maybe an XML representation that some Java code could interpret to execute the test. 4) Just re-write every test in Java. 5) Something I haven't thought of yet. Thoughts? -Alex
Re: [DISCUSS] Discuss Release Apache Flex SDK Installer 3.0 - RC7
When I looked back when we were in the incubator, no code from playerglobal was being linked in. That was important to being able to call it a build tool instead of a required dependency. Maybe Adobe just pushes the playerglobal.swc when they slipstream a player update. At least, that's my guess of what happened in this case. -Alex On 3/11/14 9:52 PM, Justin Mclean jus...@classsoftware.com wrote: Hi, I thought byte code from playerglobal did not actually get linked into any SWF.

Hi, I thought byte code from playerglobal did not actually get linked into any SWF. OT to this threadI know but may be useful to someone. After a little searching URLLoader, Vector, Rectangle, describeType and setTimeout are all in there, may be other classes and static methods. Justin

I don't doubt that, but aren't they stubs and not actual implementations? I think you have to mark playerglobal.swc as an external-library-path otherwise if any of that get linked in the SWF will not run. Also, IIRC, the APIs are marked as native which I think also prevents the linker from linking in that code. I generated a link-report for the Installer which uses URLLoader, and URLLoader is not linked into the SWF. -Alex
Re: [FLEXJS} Musing about Mustella
Doesn't Mustella need bitmap comparison? That would be almost impossible to get to work in HTML. Selenium probably is a better option for these kind of things. Another option is that perhaps we could build a runner in AIR that loads the html stuff in a HTML component. That we could reuse the bitmap comparison part as well. That would test only Webkit rendering, but that could be a good baseline. I was thinking of something like this for when we need to start testing the FXG/SVG skins.

Re: [DISCUSS] Discuss Release Apache Flex SDK Installer 3.0 - RC7
Hi, I don't doubt that, but aren't they stubs and not actual implementations? They are actually implemented in AS in the information I've found. Not eveything is marked native. You can add EventDispatcher to that short list. [1] I would have to actually decompile the player global swf to know for sure but I'm not going to do that for several reasons. Just do a google search for decompiled playergloble.swc. Justin 1. dispatchEvent and toString are AS methods but the rest are marked native. It also seems to include a rather interesting method private native function get listeners():Array;
