Re: Running Node (or any unix cmd line program) from Shell from a LC Stack
I've been avoiding el capitan so far, but on my system, /etc/paths contains
the bare minimum paths. /etc/profile adds /opt/local/bin and
/opt/local/sbin, then ~/.bash_profile tacks on a few more (like the path to
mysql and inferno, plus some adjustments made by macports (which appear to
be duplicates of the /opt paths)
Also just discovered "path_helper" which looks for files in /etc/paths.d
and adds paths from any files in there. (there's one for X11 (Quartz)
another for git, and com.apple.server for the mac server app on my system.)
Nothin like spreading things around a bit..path_helper fires off from
/etc/profile

Re: Running Node (or any unix cmd line program) from Shell from a LC Stack
But on El Capitan you don't have a .bash_profile or .profile by default I
think? And put shell ("echo $PATH") does not fetch the users shell? Any
suggestions?

Re: Running Node (or any unix cmd line program) from Shell from a LC Stack
Ah, I see. And thank you! I now have a plugin that does a shell (source
blah blah echo $PATH) so that I always have my full terminal path available
to lc shell. No extra/custom paths added yet, but it'll be nice to always
have the full path so I don't have to mess with absolute pathing (or
building the path in the shell every time)
Thanks for sharing!

You are right, of course. For one's own machine this is the
simplest. One could even vice versa write a full (temporary)
shell-profile before using shell.
But if you wish to know if a user has installed a 'default'
binary you wish to use at the 'default' place or elsewhere,
then this could fail.
I am for example nearly always working as root (that's the
only way to avoid silly errors) but never would allow others
to use my root shell.

Why not set $PATH or $PATH-additions in the preferences?

Re: Running Node (or any unix cmd line program) from Shell from a LC Stack
Try this:
set the shellcommand to "/bin/bash"
get shell("source ~/.bash_profile ; ")
This should do all the environment setting that is done when you open a
terminal so that hopefully paths will match.
To check it out, first echo $PATH without sourcing the .bash_profile and
you'll most likely get a teensy little path.
Then do it with get shell("source ~/.bash_profile; echo $PATH") and it
should match (hopefully) the path in the terminal. (don't forget to set the
shellcommand, though /bin/sh and bash are similar, so maybe it will work
fine without?)
Is there any way to get lc to process .bash_profile by default? If not,
what shell startup script is run (if any?) by lc when using the default
shellcommand /bin/sh

Re: Running Node (or any unix cmd line program) from Shell from a LC Stack
Yes - the way i see this is a combination of tools that help, and manual. So we have some scripts which check common places and find / suggest things to add. Then we have the ability to customise and add our own by hand. We save these to a preference file, and load them when we start Livecode. That way it should sort of just work for most use cases, but you can always add things by hand. It's also a nice way to teach people where to find these things. The interface can offer the option to open folders, and / or peak at files.

Clever script. But who knows to which file Apple's launchctl writes environments vars? And who knows which 'path-file' LC uses at startup for it's $PATH? So I would like to propose *moreover* to ensure that /usr/local/bin is added to $PATH ( I have here the paths: /usr/local/bin/brew and /usr/local/bin/npm ) -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Running-Node-or-any-unix-cmd-line-program-from-Shell-from-a-LC-Stack-tp4704464p4704487.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

You want to use the above script on startup to automatically configure your $PATH in Livecode for things like "brew" and npm.

Re: Running Node (or any unix cmd line program) from Shell from a LC Stack
Yes - I think a 'login' type shell option would help here. (Which, if I recall correctly, causes the standard terminal setup scripts to run). The reason the action of shell is to not use a login shell is because otherwise env vars you might want to pass to your new process might get clobbered by user settings which is (in general) probably not what you want. For example if you set PATH temporarily to a specific folder to control the environment of your new process, it might be overridden by user settings causing breakage the other way. (Particularly if you need to use your own env vars which happened to also be set - for other reasons - in a user's shell environment).

Re: Running Node (or any unix cmd line program) from Shell from a LC Stack
LiveCode will inherit the path env variable given to it by the environment
which launched it.
If you have access to exes from Terminal in something like /usr/local/bin but
not from apps launched from the desktop then this suggests the local bin path
is only configured in your bashrc rather than truly globally.
I'm pretty sure there is a way to configure global env vars on Mac although not
sure where it would be these days...

Re: Webinar
Thanks, Mark! That actually was helpful. The popup was covering up a bar at the top that essentially said, click here if you are having trouble. I did and it was smooth sailing after that.

Webinar
I've been trying to connect to the LiveCode 8 Webinar but I'm having trouble. I keep getting a popup about not being able to open some document with a long random-looking name.

Re: IPv6 for iOS??
Now that the weekend is over, I’ve had a chance to look at IPv6 support for iOS. The good news is that if you are using the URL syntax to access HTTP or HTTPS URLs, IPv6 support already exists. For example, see the screenshot here: http://downloads.livecode.com/fraser/ios_ipv6.png (the http://ipv6.google.com/ URL can only be accessed over IPv6). (Please forgive the lack of exciting UI design; it’s the stack we use for basic sanity checks of the iOS engine!). You can even use IPv6 literals in the URL (e.g. http://[2a00:1450:4009:809::200e]/ - the IP of ipv6.google.com). The bad news is that (on all platforms) our raw sockets code only currently supports IPv4. This means that you won’t be able to open a socket to an IPv6 address nor will you be able to open a socket to a hostname via an IPv6-only network. If you are using revDB to connect to a database, connecting via hostname should work over IPv6 networks. However, revDB does not support connecting to an IPv6 address directly (i.e connecting to “db.example.com” would work over an IPv6 network but you couldn’t connect to “[2001:41d0:8:cc68::]”) due to the way parsing of the host strings works (the first “:” is treated as the beginning of a port number). As URL syntax also works, connecting via an intermediate web service should be fine as well. I don’t have a time-scale at the moment for adding IPv6 support for raw sockets but it is a fairly substantial job. Changing the low-level networking code to support IPv6 is relatively simple but there is a bigger challenge in terms of changing the LiveCode Script commands and functions for sockets to support IPv6 transparently and in a backwards-compatible manner. I’ll keep you posted on what’s going on. As an aside, I found a lot of the reporting on news sites of Apple’s announcement to be misleading - there were implications of support for IPv4 being dropped. Reading Apple’s announcement (https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=05042016a), what they’re doing is requiring apps to support IPv6-only networks. Because a huge number of networks are still IPv4-only, this is essentially requiring apps to support both IPv4 and IPv6 rather than just IPv4.

browser and line graph widgets...
Well, I have to admit that the browser widget in LC8 is quick... It would be nice if there was an 'auto-fit' property for showing the web pages... The line graph too, is a little gem... Though it would be nice to alter the line thickness of the plotted lines and perhaps be able to set the colour of the values and the colour of the lines independantly of each other John Dixon ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
