2008-04-29T08:43:58  * dbs muses about cmake instead of autotools for build system
2008-04-29T08:49:07  <phasefx_> who uses it now?
2008-04-29T08:49:52  <dbs> phasefx_: KDE was the first project I experienced with it
2008-04-29T08:50:11  <phasefx_> cool
2008-04-29T08:50:36  <dbs> http://www.cmake.org/HTML/About.html
2008-04-29T08:53:09  <dbs> phasefx_: do you have any suggestions for narrowing down where the client is blowing up with xulrunner 1.8.1.14?
2008-04-29T08:53:27  <dbs> (re: http://paste.lisp.org/display/59806 )
2008-04-29T08:54:58  <dbs> register patron (ue.xhtml) seems to be afflicted; I was wondering whether it's an XHTML vs. XUL thing. Flailing a bit.
2008-04-29T08:55:23  <phasefx_> hrmm.. that sucks.  I was wondering if it was a JSAN/eval thing, but ue.xhtml doesn't use JSAN
2008-04-29T08:55:25  <dbs> new marc record fails for a different reason
2008-04-29T08:58:31  <dbs> I'm thinking of just adding debugging statements everywhere until I narrow down exactly where the exception is being thrown
2008-04-29T08:59:56  <phasefx_> well, according to that paste, it's in chrome/content/util/browser.js, in 'get_content' : function() {
2008-04-29T09:00:04  <miker_> phasefx_: and I have more bugs for you, with a known cause and possible wide distribution
2008-04-29T09:00:10  <phasefx_> probably thrown when trying to access .contentWindow
2008-04-29T09:00:44  <phasefx_> miker_: k
2008-04-29T09:02:26  <dbs> phasefx_: well geez, that narrowed things down considerably :)
2008-04-29T09:04:01  <phasefx_> we need to make unexpected errors more fatal, I think, instead of trying to recover
2008-04-29T09:07:43  <phasefx_> good news is that there are only a few places in the mozilla source that throw NS_ERROR_XPC_SECURITY_MANAGER_VETO
2008-04-29T09:08:06  <dbs> good, because I'm stupid enough to consider just inserting universalxpconnect privilege granting everywhere
2008-04-29T09:08:18  <phasefx_> try it
2008-04-29T09:08:22  <dbs> :)
2008-04-29T09:08:26  <phasefx_> that's what I do :D
2008-04-29T09:09:04  * dbs spins up "Cargo Cult" from magnatunes.com
2008-04-29T09:13:18  <agJohn> miker_: Any possibility of getting a bit of your time on the tuning issue today?
2008-04-29T09:13:22  <phasefx_> hey, I have that :)
2008-04-29T09:15:32  <atheos> dbs, thanks for the magnatunes.com link. never seen that site before, and it looks interesting.
2008-04-29T09:15:48  * atheos listening to Lara St. John - Bach Violin Concertos 
2008-04-29T09:16:11  <dbs> it kinda-sorta looks like there's some variable scoping issues going on, too - xulG isn't defined in ue.js - sigh
2008-04-29T09:16:39  <dbs> atheos: hey, my pleasure! btw, I saw Lara St. John at a recital a few years back
2008-04-29T09:16:59  *** gmcharlt has joined #OpenILS-Evergreen
2008-04-29T09:17:10  <phasefx_> dbs: if the get_content stuff in browser.js isn't working, then ue.js will not have access to xulG.  browser pushes xulG into the frame/window holding those interfaces
2008-04-29T09:18:13  <phasefx_> which is something that's not normally allowed (reaching into an iframe, for example), and is even more difficult to do with remote xul (reaching into something)
2008-04-29T09:20:08  <miker_> agJohn: sure thing, just let me get into the office
2008-04-29T09:20:10  <dbs> ah, and as register patron uses an iframe, maybe that got tightened up in xulrunner 1.8.1.14? but that wouldn't explain why 1.2.1.4 still apparently works. grr.
2008-04-29T09:20:24  * dbs is straining his tiny brain
2008-04-29T09:20:47  <agJohn> No problem, miker_. Thanks.
2008-04-29T09:21:09  <phasefx_> dbs: that is true, hrmm
2008-04-29T09:21:09  <dbs> things start off with a bang in the javascript console; after logging in, the very first error is that _l is not defined in org_utils.js
2008-04-29T09:22:14  <phasefx_> when the OPAC uses org_utils.js, I wonder where _l is defined
2008-04-29T09:22:25  <dbs> OrgTree.js
2008-04-29T09:22:36  <dbs> and it's there, in opac/common/js/OrgTree.js
2008-04-29T09:29:16  <miker_> dbs: you recently changed the autogen sub-scripts IIRC ... maybe a subtle syntax error?
2008-04-29T09:29:51  <dbs> miker_: recently changed them to add "var" to the _l definition
2008-04-29T09:30:01  <dbs> but that was in response to this problem
2008-04-29T09:30:24  <miker_> ahh
2008-04-29T09:31:15  <dbs> basically - just trying to quiet down the noise in javascript console (all those frickin' warnings!) to focus on the real problem
2008-04-29T09:32:00  * miker_ really drives now
2008-04-29T09:32:01  <miker_> biab
2008-04-29T09:32:05  <phasefx_> in prefs.js, set javascript.options.strict to false :)
2008-04-29T09:32:40  *** kdbdk has joined #openils-evergreen
2008-04-29T09:34:23  <phasefx_> false will just show javascript errors
2008-04-29T09:39:25  <dbs> phasefx_: yeah, or click on the "Errors" button
2008-04-29T09:39:58  <dbs> but warnings sometimes indicate that something actually is wrong...
2008-04-29T09:40:44  <phasefx_> true
2008-04-29T09:40:50  <dbs> hmm, like Warning: assignment to undeclared variable util
2008-04-29T09:40:50  <dbs> Source File: chrome://open_ils_staff_client/content/main/JSAN.js
2008-04-29T09:40:50  <dbs> Line: 208
2008-04-29T09:41:28  <dbs> that's the fourth warning in, followed by "reference to undefined property util.window"
2008-04-29T09:41:57  <dbs> they wouldn't have started forcing var declaration would they?
2008-04-29T09:42:03  <phasefx_> so all the JSAN libraries in chrome/content/util (or server/util) live in an object named util
2008-04-29T09:43:22  <phasefx_> at the top of each, it should do var util if util is undefined (though the syntax/structure weirds me out.. that  if (typeof util == 'undefined') var util = {};  is supposed to work
2008-04-29T09:43:44  <dbs> sorry, I feel like my IQ has slipped below 100 in the past couple of days
2008-04-29T09:44:19  <phasefx_> maybe they fixed it so that syntax does what I would actually expect it to do (ie. nothing)
2008-04-29T09:44:45  <phasefx_> if (foo) { var blah; }  blah shouldn't been outside of the block, but it can be
2008-04-29T09:44:50  <dbs> right, so the typeof operator is probably triggering the first warning, and then once it's declared the warnings should go away
2008-04-29T09:48:47  <phasefx_> might also trying <script> tagging a JSAN library rather than letting JSAN ajax/eval it.. don't know if that would make a difference, except, it would make it easier to pin-point line numbers for errors in those files
2008-04-29T09:49:53  <dbs> damn straight
2008-04-29T09:50:25  <phasefx_> I'm in the habit of running the command-line js against all JSAN-library .js files
2008-04-29T09:50:31  <phasefx_> to catch syntax errors, at least
2008-04-29T09:53:53  <dbs> yeah, jslint chokes hard on trailing commas - you have to remove the trailing commas just to get to the next section of the report
2008-04-29T09:54:51  <phasefx_> reminds me of pascal with trailing semicolons
2008-04-29T09:56:06  <dbs> I guess the Javascript way of making it easy to add items to an array would be preceding commas
2008-04-29T09:56:17  <dbs> <tab><tab>, "another item"
2008-04-29T09:56:22  <dbs> bleh
2008-04-29T09:57:40  *** Mark__T has left #openils-evergreen
2008-04-29T09:58:20  <phasefx_> I wonder if komodo has syntax-completion
2008-04-29T09:58:22  <dbs> heh, running js doesn't get past line 1 of most files (due to dump() not being defined)
2008-04-29T09:58:33  <dbs> phasefx_: probably - I have it installed here...
2008-04-29T09:58:37  <phasefx_> I just get warnings for dump
2008-04-29T09:58:43  *** Karen_ has joined #OpenILS-Evergreen
2008-04-29T09:58:58  <phasefx_> personally, I think we should get rid of dumps
2008-04-29T09:59:27  <phasefx_> just use them for quick debugging.. but everything else needs to be logged through util.error
2008-04-29T10:00:19  <dbs> barcode.js:1: ReferenceError: dump is not defined
2008-04-29T10:01:49  <phasefx_> hrm, I stand corrected
2008-04-29T10:02:01  <dbs> hmm - given what you were saying about reaching into iframes for content, would UniversalBrowserWrite / UniversalBrowserRead be relevant privileges
2008-04-29T10:02:19  <phasefx_> no, I'm right.  js will catch the syntax errors first
2008-04-29T10:02:30  <dbs> XUL seems to be a pretty miserably documented technology :(
2008-04-29T10:02:32  <phasefx_> then do ReferenceErrors
2008-04-29T10:03:00  <dbs> weird - I put a random garbage string right after the dump statement and it didn't complain at all
2008-04-29T10:03:13  <phasefx_> yeah, I want to either use a different technology stack or simplify the use of xul (do nothing fancy)
2008-04-29T10:03:30  <dbs> js -v == "JavaScript-C 1.7.0 2007-10-03"
2008-04-29T10:03:42  <phasefx_> maybe it stops on the first ReferenceError.. a random string is just another undefined function
2008-04-29T10:03:52  <phasefx_> I removed a bracket and it caught it
2008-04-29T10:04:59  <dbs> ahhh - correctamundo

2008-04-29T10:06:38  <phasefx_> I did want to jump into dojo and give it a shot, but that seems kind of persnickety too
2008-04-29T10:07:55  <dbs> yep - komodo edit 4.3 does javascript syntax completion
2008-04-29T10:08:02  <phasefx_> cool
2008-04-29T10:09:31  <dbs> also has vi bindings
2008-04-29T10:10:03  <phasefx_> and can it edit a file on a remote server through sftp or something?
2008-04-29T10:12:15  <dbs> yep
2008-04-29T10:13:00  <phasefx_> excellent
2008-04-29T10:41:01  <dbs> geez, there has been a flurry of security updates in mozilla and it's pretty damned hard to figure out what it means for a remote XUL developer
2008-04-29T10:42:17  <phasefx_> we could go forward with the jar deployer idea and have all local xul with remote updates
2008-04-29T10:43:51  <dbs> hey - and then we could use stringbundles! :)
2008-04-29T10:44:28  <phasefx_> and dtd files
2008-04-29T10:44:43  <phasefx_> without xmlent
2008-04-29T10:44:55  <dbs> yeah baby
2008-04-29T10:45:20  <phasefx_> do messagecats do anything that stringbundles don't?  I thought there were was different syntax options or something
2008-04-29T10:45:25  <dbs> then we would just need to rewrite the opac so that it didn't need xmlent
2008-04-29T10:45:54  <dbs> yep, messagecats have the option of using java-style {1} placeholders instead of $1 IIRC

2008-04-29T10:47:55  <phasefx_> have had
2008-04-29T10:49:03  <dbs> phasefx_: yeah, understandable
2008-04-29T10:49:19  <phasefx_> and I do wish we had one unified technology stack for GUI all across Evergreen
2008-04-29T11:10:23  <dbs> ubuntu packaging lesson is going on in #ubuntu-classroom at the moment - I pointed kevin at that

2008-04-29T20:46:07  <djfiander> bad news: only for the first fund I fetch.
2008-04-29T21:02:53  <djfiander> ok, wierd shtuff is going on
2008-04-29T21:03:26  <djfiander> all these line items have odd fundIDs attached to them, but only "Videos" is a real fund?
2008-04-29T21:03:42  <djfiander> I'm seeing fund ids like 34, 35, and 36
2008-04-29T21:03:55  <djfiander> hmm... no.
2008-04-29T21:04:36  <djfiander> never mind
2008-04-29T21:05:14  <djfiander> <- mind numbingly stupid

2008-04-29T21:22:12  <miker_> dbs: if berick shows up we should ask him to update acq.open-ils.org ... should be painless
2008-04-29T21:23:31  <dbs> last i chatted with him it was running on paster
2008-04-29T21:23:54  <dbs> but I've fallen out of touch
2008-04-29T21:24:15  <dbs> gah - ff3b5 won't start now. maybe that hardy upgrade wasn't such a good idea after all.
2008-04-29T21:27:16  <miker_> it should work through mod_python, right?  I thought paster was just a built-in dev server deally
2008-04-29T21:27:21  <miker_> also
2008-04-29T21:27:24  <miker_> dan_wells++
2008-04-29T21:29:03  <djfiander> last I heard, berick was still talking about getting it to run with apache. wasn't that part of the whole reorg?
2008-04-29T21:29:26  <djfiander> of course, "spending money" = "editing grid".
2008-04-29T21:29:29  <djfiander> v. scary
2008-04-29T21:29:39  <dbs> yeah, good to have dan_wells back
2008-04-29T21:30:23  <dbs> I hope he'll consider adopting the Makefile.install for his next iteration of the ubuntu install docs
2008-04-29T21:36:35  <djfiander> miker_: is there some simple way for me to translate locations into their names?
2008-04-29T21:36:45  <miker_> locations
2008-04-29T21:37:08  <miker_> actor.org_unit.id?
2008-04-29T21:37:09  <djfiander> yes, that's what I said. Locations.
2008-04-29T21:37:13  <miker_> haha
2008-04-29T21:37:18  <djfiander> probably
2008-04-29T21:37:21  <djfiander> hang on
2008-04-29T21:37:22  <miker_> you mean library IDs
2008-04-29T21:37:28  <miker_> if so, yes
2008-04-29T21:37:50  <miker_> dojo.require('fieldmapper.OrgUtils');
2008-04-29T21:37:56  <miker_> then
2008-04-29T21:37:58  <djfiander> yup, that's it
2008-04-29T21:38:00  <djfiander> aou.
2008-04-29T21:38:04  <miker_> yeah
2008-04-29T21:38:08  <miker_> there's a handy function
2008-04-29T21:38:11  <miker_> lemme find it
2008-04-29T21:38:57  <miker_> you want the real name, or the shortname
2008-04-29T21:39:01  <miker_> ?
2008-04-29T21:39:09  <djfiander> this is a staff tool, so short name should be file
2008-04-29T21:39:11  <djfiander> fine
2008-04-29T21:39:30  <miker_> well, shortname requires a fetch, but that's OK
2008-04-29T21:39:42  <miker_> if you can use the name, it's loaded with OrgUtils
2008-04-29T21:39:56  <djfiander> then the name will be fine. there's lots of room in the UI
2008-04-29T21:39:59  <miker_> fieldmapper.aou.findOrgUnit( org_id, true );
2008-04-29T21:40:05  <miker_> fieldmapper.aou.findOrgUnit( org_id, true ).name();
2008-04-29T21:40:42  <miker_> remove the true (a "slim version is ok" flag) and then you'll get the whole object
2008-04-29T21:41:07  <djfiander> just need the name
2008-04-29T21:41:18  <miker_> k
2008-04-29T21:41:47  <djfiander> actually, long run, I'm going to want to build selectors for Funds and OrgUnits, so I'll probably need an entire store or something.
2008-04-29T21:41:51  <miker_> you have id, ou_type, name, parent_ou and opac_visible with the slim version
2008-04-29T21:41:53  * djfiander takes baby steps
2008-04-29T21:42:15  <djfiander> that should cover everything I'll need. If you want to know the balance, you can go somewhere else
2008-04-29T21:42:28  <miker_> heh
2008-04-29T21:46:38  <djfiander> hmmm
2008-04-29T21:47:00  <djfiander> an acqlid has an "owning_lib" (aou) and a "location" (acpl)?
2008-04-29T21:47:31  <djfiander> ah, ok.
2008-04-29T21:47:59  <djfiander> I suspect that none of our test records actually have aou's assigned to them yet
2008-04-29T21:50:06  <miker_> asset.copy_location
2008-04-29T21:50:28  <miker_> well, marc records don't have aou's
2008-04-29T21:50:58  <miker_> the acqlid is a "item-thingy"
2008-04-29T21:51:05  <miker_> IIRC
2008-04-29T21:51:34  <djfiander> heh. checking the aou is slowing it down. not set = no cache, maybe?
2008-04-29T21:52:44  <miker_> hrm... passing true to findOrgUnit should make it use the in-memory version
2008-04-29T21:53:13  <djfiander> but I might be passing null as the org unit id
2008-04-29T21:53:41  * djfiander adds test
2008-04-29T21:54:09  <djfiander> that's it.
2008-04-29T21:54:28  <miker_> what the hail ...
2008-04-29T21:54:35  <djfiander> so, if the grid row isn't initialized yet, or if there's no owning_lib on the row, then just return
2008-04-29T21:54:59  <miker_> oh ... nevermind
2008-04-29T21:55:19  <djfiander> nice to see I'm not alone with then "nevermind"s ;-)
2008-04-29T21:55:22  <miker_> I was trying to figure out the purpose of the following code:
2008-04-29T21:55:47  <miker_> for (var i in fieldmapper.aout.OrgTypeCache) { return; }
2008-04-29T21:55:57  <djfiander> ew
2008-04-29T21:56:22  <djfiander> if OrgTypeCache has any fields, return?
2008-04-29T21:56:23  <miker_> well, it's a failing of JS... no keys function on Objects
2008-04-29T21:56:29  <miker_> yep
2008-04-29T21:56:30  <djfiander> ew
2008-04-29T21:56:39  <djfiander> get a real language :P
2008-04-29T21:56:43  <miker_> hah
2008-04-29T21:56:53  * djfiander adds data check to fund name check
2008-04-29T21:57:14  <djfiander> of course, you are writing a lot of lisp in javascript, except badly ;-)
2008-04-29T21:57:24  <miker_> :)
2008-04-29T21:57:51  <djfiander> of course, that's mostly because functions are the only way to create namespaces in JS (also kinda true in lisp)
2008-04-29T21:58:43  <djfiander> yeah, that test speeds stuff up nicely.
2008-04-29T21:58:54  <miker_> gooo
2008-04-29T21:58:54  <miker_> d
2008-04-29T22:00:09  <djfiander> and another baby step is committed.
2008-04-29T22:00:45  <djfiander> I think it's time for me to stop for tonight. grid editing will require my full concentration...
