[racket-dev] overwrite

2011-02-26 Thread Matthias Felleisen

When I use drracket, I frequently get a warning that my file has been modified 
on disk and the question of whether I want to save the file or revert. Is 
anyone else suffering from this problem?

It's from git touching the files and giving them a new timestamp. It
probably didn't really change.

The files I have been editing this morning are not under Git control. 
(And yes, I have on one occasion checked the file via Emacs and didn't
see any difference.)

I also see this quite frequently (for files not under Git control). I was 
thinking at one point it might be related to when I run check syntax, but I 
haven't confirmed a repeatable pattern.

Well it just occurred for a file under Git but WITHOUT check syntax.

I get this a lot, using just the binary installer version downloaded
from racket-lang.org. And it happens even when I'm not using
check-syntax, though it might happen more frequently when I do use
check-syntax; hard to tell.

Are any of you, by any chance:

  - using a teaching language (via the language menu, not #lang
2htdp/bsl or similar)

  - hitting run and then save right *after* run

when you get this message?

Re: [racket-dev] overwrite

2011-02-26 Thread Robby Findler
Looking at the code, I don't see anything suspicious (assuming that
after-save-file and file-or-directory-modify-seconds work properly,
that is).

If you find a way to make it happen (even if it only works 1 in 10
tries or something), that would help.

Or if you had the energy to instrument the after-save-file method in
the framework to tell what it is doing and watched those printsouts
and compared them with reality that would be a lot of help.

Re: [racket-dev] overwrite

2011-02-26 Thread Neil Van Dyke

Dunno whether this helps...

I haven't looked at the pertinent Racket code, but errors like this 
often happen in Unix applications because the mtime of the file is in 
the future relative to the current time clock.  Less commonly, because 
the mtime changed since the file was read by the app or since the app 
last checked.


The most common case can happen because a VC/CM system is updating the 
times (someone mentioned Git, and some other systems do this), because 
it's a network filesystem and the server and workstation clocks aren't 
synced sufficiently, or because NTP or some other mechanism dangerously 
jumped the current time clock in reverse (usually a good NTP daemon will 
slow the clock rather than jump in reverse).

The code compares the date of the file when it was last saved to the
date of the file when "run" is clicked.

I've seen this for ~ 6 months; I believe I've reported it before, but never 
followed up on it adequately. At least one of my students has also seen it.

To add a few details: It usually happens on a "run", asking if I want to revert 
the file.  The message occurs on every subsequent run, until I save. When I 
save, DrRacket indicates that the file has changed on disk, and do I want to 
overwrite (yes). Then things are fine again.

Is this the kind of annotation you were thinking of?

One other note; if it's NTP, it would probably happen only on computers whose 
clocks tended to run a little fast or a little slow; this could explain why 
some of us have never seen this, and others see it all the time.

Add'l data point: I tried messing up the clock manually, by turning off NTP, 
but I was unable to duplicate the bug this way.

I haven't followed this discussion closely, nor looked at the relevant code.

However :)

I doubt it's the culprit.

(When NTP determines that your clock is later than it should be, it
merely slows it down a bit until the true time "catches up" with it.)

NTP is unlikely to be the problem, since the times are saved on the
filesystem, independently of the system time (or clock).  And since
Robby says that DrR compares only the time value regardless of being
in the future, then there shouldn't be any problem with that.

(It might, however, lead to problems if there's something that can
change the file's time when it's in the future -- for example, if
compiling the file tries to guarantee that it is not in the future for
the compiled file to be further in time, and if DrR causes this by the
automatic compilation.  (This is not a guess about the problem, just
an example of how it could break.))

As for git, it shouldn't lead to times in the future, since unlike
other systems (like svn), it does not have a time stamp for each
file.  Instead, the idea is that it only changes files that it touches
and uses the current time.  This is why a rebase operation can lead to
a lot of time changes -- since it will undo your commit(s), then
fast-forward the repository, then replay the commits, so you end up
with many files that have the same contents, but a different time.

(And as an unrelated reminder -- if this bothers anyone, I have a
wrapper that properly restores the time for such operations.)

Is this happening on network-mounted drives?

One strange thing I've run into in the past is that on SMB-mounted
filesystems, the timestamp is rounded off to a multiple of 2 seconds.
It seems like that could cause this problem.

rsync has a --modify-window parameter to accommodate this.

e.g. see here: http://www.goodjobsucking.com/?p=16

If NTP or clock drift was the reason then makefiles would not work and

I do not use network mounts or git and I too get this message almost all

I got my first hit using these patches.  I tried to save the file, and was
informed that it had changed on disk since my last save from DrRacket, and
did I want to overwrite it.  Here's what I got

last-saved-file-time: 1299611826
file-modified-time: 1299611832

These times are both quite close to when I tried to save.  In retrospect, I
should have added the output of (current-seconds) to the log output.  I
don't recall a six-second delay while trying to save.

Hm. Yeah, I'm not seeing any clues in those numbers.

How about also putting the filename into the log (the one that's being
passed to file-or-directory-modify-seconds) and recording if it is the
after-load-file or the after-save-file method that's updating the
last-saved-file-time field?
