Re: [racket-dev] DrRacket PF1 Search Bug?

2014-11-24 Thread Robby Findler
I've pushed a fix for the mac os x problem using materialize-user-docs
because it seems to me to reduce rather than enlarge the number of
different configurations are users are in. It may not actually turn
out to be the conservative change and we can always revisit it when we
have more concrete data.

Ah, that's much better.  But like I said, there's a point in doing this
abstraction anyway since it's needed for the linux `xdg-open' thing.  I
made a PR for that, it includes wrapping the mac thing, but that can be

Oh, *that*'s the other solution?  That sounds pretty bad not only
because it complicates file installation which is already very complex,
but also because it's a significant weight.  (For example, the current
size I see is about 180M, multiply that for a department with a thousand

I think you meant to say "former" (ie, the trampoline) -- yes, having a
very different setup for end users is also pretty bad.  IMO, it falls
under the complication point above: installation layout is not only
complex in itself, it's also a point that introduces many different
options which are almost all never tested, and worse -- they can easily
lead to very bad bugs.

Oh, absolutely. The two candidates are the trampoline approach and the
"just move the documentation files over into the user space as if a
package had been installed".

I guess the latter is better because it means there will be more
homogeneity in the sets of files and whatnot, such that these kinds of
bugs will be less likely to be unnoticed by in house folk. That is, I
never noticed this problem because my documentation is already in the
user-specific place because I build from source. The other option will
make our users operate more like how my drracket operates.

[Bear in mind that I don't really know what the issue with the file
permissions is (looks more like some security attributes):]

I think that playing with such attributes is a worse option -- it's
something that I'm not sure would work in all settings (but see above),
and if there is a way to make it work now, it might not be possible in
the future.  The trampoline approach is relatively robust and well
behaved.  There is a minor price of these temporary files, but they do
get cleaned out (whenever `send-url/contents' is called), so it should
settle on a small number that will not grow indefinitely[*], so this is
not a problem.

Also, on the "it's already there" side -- this trampoline approach is
already there for the windows version, and it's needed for the
`xdg-open' thing anyway, so abstracting it into a new (internal)
function makes sense already, so in terms of additional code there's no
cost for doing the mac version too.

No that doesn't work. You can see why if you follow the technical details

Matthew is adding something to the setup collection and drr will use it and

That is exactly what that trampoline is: a page with just a immediate
redirection to the search file with the query.

That (the first thing) sounds like a very bad idea, and one that will
most likely fail in a case of a non-private machine.  The second is also
pretty bad since you'd be exluding a central setup in such a situation.
(Not that I see any reason to have a lab of Macs...)

And this is why I said that it's not really relevant -- AFAICT, the fact
that things are setup in a way that prevents passing queries and
fragments means that you just have to deal with it rather than try to
play games with the filesystem.

But of course there's another question of whether the trampoline will
work -- the browser might itself detect the different owner and refuse
to do the requested hop.  Hopefully it doesn't.


[And if it does, then I can only see ugly solutions like open a page
with a known weird title, wait for it to come up and then send it a
command to go to the real target...  Or running a tiny web server at
some known high port, and using an http://localhost:port/, and that web
server will wait for a single request and spit out the forwarding line,
dealing with multiple processes somehow (eg, some random number as a
private identifying cookie).]

Not that it matters, but did you try to see if it's the file
permissions?

Another thing: I googled "osascript open url drops query" and got a
bunch of racket results, and dropping "osascript" make the results more
sensible.  So perhaps "osascript" is outdated?  Some more searching
makes it look like you can just run the open command directly, and that
might make a difference.


In any case, if it just doesn't work, then doing the trampoline thing
should be easy -- it should do the same thing that `send-url/win' does:
if the URL has a query or a fragment, then use `send-url/contents' with
the same contents as the windows case.

And since there's the linux case too, then it's worth an abstraction,
something like the simple shuffle in the attached patch.  (Completely
untested, and wrapping xdg-open in the linux function since it looks
like it's still as broken as I remember it to be.)

Re: [racket-dev] DrRacket PF1 Search Bug?

No, the browser isn't hiding the query part.

Here are the content of two script files:

$  cat a.scrpt
open location "file:///Applications/r/doc/search/index.html?q=xyz"
$  cat b.scrpt
open location 
"file:///Users/robby/Library/Racket/development/doc/search/index.html?q=xyz"

Running "osascript a.scrpt" doesn't work, but running "osascript
b.scrpt" does work. And by "work" I mean that in both cases the
corresponding webpage is visited in Safari, but in the first case, the
q parameter disappears.

I tried fiddling with various things, but I don't understand what
exactly is considered to be the important difference between those
paths.

This is weird.  To debug it, the text thing I'd do is make that
/Applications/hello.html show the location string -- perhaps the browser

the files -- maybe it descides to drop the query bit on a file that you

It shouldn't be `open' -- it's something with osascript.  (I don't
remember it now, but Robby had it in the other email.)

Should be something like

(send-url/file "/Some/file.html" #:query "123")

but it's probably won't help to try it, since it uses the same
functionality as the above.

Something that might be relevant here: on Windows, the query (?...) or
fragment (#...)  bits of a URL are dropped when you run them.  That's
why I made it use a "trampoline" file: it creates a small HTML file
which can open fine, and that file redirects to the full URL.

At some point, Linux joined this with "xdg-open" not passing along these
things also, and needed a similar hack (which IIRC, wasn't done).  So it
might be that OSX is doing something similar now.

Ah, thanks! I see that if it is trying to load the docs that are in
/Applications then it runs the code below, which somehow magically
drops the query argument by the time safari gets it. It's not because
of the space, either; when I rename "Racket v6.1.1.5" to just "r", it
also doesn't work. But if I change the path to one in my home
directory (just like the one you write below), then I see it works.

Puzzling. It's almost like there is special handling for /Applications
instead of /Users.

#lang racket

Is it significant that on the non-working machine running 6.1.1.5
(perform-search "xyz") returns
file:///Applications/Racket%20v6.1.1.5/doc/search/index.html

But my working instance running 6.1.1.5 (it is a day later build)
running (perform-search "XYX") returns
file:///Users/spdegabrielle/Library/Racket/snapshot/doc/search/index.html?q=XYX

Is anyone else getting the same behaviour?

You won't be surprised to learn that my machine is one of the ones

If I understand correctly, you're getting to the browser, but not
seeing the right thing in the browser? Is that right? If so, what is
the url in the url bar? And which browser? Does it work if you switch

Hmm.  I typed cond, highlighted cond, pressed F1, help on cond came up in 
browser.  But I built my own Racket from git sources, on 2014-11-06.

Yes. Interesting. Looks like we’re running the same OS. F5 runs the program for 
me, F1 does nothing. Are you using any “meta” keys? I’m using option as meta.

right-clicked it
browser came up with:

I tried F1 on my Racket 6.1.1 on OSX 10.10.1 and the browser came up with

[racket-dev] DrRacket PF1 Search Bug?

2014-11-19 Thread Kevin Forchione
I’m not sure if this has been reported yet, but it seems the PF1 “search in 
help desk for …” feature no longer functions with 6.1.1 for Mac OS X 64 bit. 
(I’ve not tried other platforms). Is this a setting in preferences that is no 
longer on?
