[Lazarus] LazarusDir and FPCSourceDirectory not saved to environmentoptions.xml

[leledumbo]

I have no idea since when, but the latest I've tried is r43866. Lazarus keeps
asking for FPC source directory and it can't even find its own directory.
Even so, after choosing the correct values, upon restarting these are asked
again. So, I inspect environmentoptions.xml and indeed these values are
missing. Could anyone confirm before I file a bug report? Or link to the
bugtracker if it's been reported?

If Lazarus is on Linux, one problem is due to file permissions.  Your
.lazarus directory was somehow changed to read only or owner so you
can't save env variables on it, if not, the file must be corrupt?
If on Ubuntu in your home directory, you can try 'sudo chown
yourusername.yourusername -R .lazarus' then launch lazarus, change to
correct settings, exit then run again.

I've noticed in the past that if the IDE fails during startup (e.g. an 
obscure bug in Synedit which raises an exception dialogue) the setup 
information isn't saved. So the actual problem can be quite a way from 
the configuration file handling.

Yes, I'm on linux. The file is not read only, because I can rename it
normally (no sudo required) and when I start Lazarus with
environmentoptions.xml renamed, after I close the IDE it creates a new
environmentoptions.xml. Still, in the new file, LazarusDirectory and
FPCSourceDirectory don't exist.

Re: [Lazarus] LazarusDir and FPCSourceDirectory not saved to environmentoptions.xml

[leledumbo]

After some experiments, it looks like there's a bug in handling MY
environmentoptions.xml.

Running the IDE from terminal shows up:

[TEnvironmentOptions.Save]  error writing
"/home/leledumbo/.lazarus/environmentoptions.xml": EDOMError in
DOMDocument.CreateElement

when I change certain value. but when I rename my .lazarus to .lazarusold,
the IDE creates a new .lazarus folder and when I change the same certain
value, the file can be saved. Moving the new environmentoptions.xml to
.lazarusold and rename it back to .lazarus shows that the IDE can save
modified values. Since the permissions of both files are the same, I simply
copy-paste the contents of my old environmentoptions.xml to the new one.
Guess what? The error message above comes again.

Here I attach the environmentoptions.xml that breaks the saving routine.
Please run lazarus from terminal, try changing a value (e.g. single button
on taskbar) and see the debug log. If it could reveal the same error message
in your installation, I'll file a bug report.
environmentoptions.xml

This probably means that somewhere an invalid xml path is used.

Please load the IDE in the debugger and set a breakpoint at
FPC_RAISEEXCEPTION.
Then run, reproduce the error and create a backtrace.

Done, but gdb doesn't seem to catch the exception. Here's the log:

(gdb) b FPC_RAISEEXCEPTION

During startup program exited normally.

However, I've managed to get the exception source (line 2656 of laz2_dom) by
removing try-except in the respective code block. Extending the exception
message a bit, I guess I know the problem. Here's the log:

[TEnvironmentOptions.Save]  error writing
"/home/leledumbo/.lazarus/environmentoptions.xml": EDOMError in
DOMDocument.CreateElement PackageEditor_
NiceChartD7 FXML11=0

As you can see, I have PackageEditor_NiceChartD7 in FormIdList
tag. The line ending seems to be the cause. I've removed the whole
FormIdList tag and everything seems well now.

I have no idea now whether this should be reported as bug or not. I have no
idea where that LineEnding comes from, because I never touch
environmentoptions.xml before this (unless when there's a problem).

Ah, you debugged startlazarus.

Please start /media/LinuxShared/lazarus/lazarus in gdb.
