I'm trying around with the Javascript-based bindings to build an own Gnome-Shell-Extension which just embeds an webkitview.
But the following 3 lines let completely crash the gnome-shell (top panel disappears, need to re-login to start it again). therefore no way to look into the "Errors"-tab of LookingGlass to figure out, what was wrong.
WebKit = imports.gi.WebKit;
GtkClutter = imports.gi.GtkClutter;
Main.panel._rightBox.add(new GtkClutter.Actor({contents: new WebKit.WebView()}));
Is there any way to get some infos what's going wrong?
you cannot embed a WebKitGtk WebView inside gnome-shell, or any other GTK widget, include GtkClutterEmbed; this is actually a limitation of GTK.
if you want to embed a WebKitGtk WebView one option is to use a separate process, get the XID of the GtkWindow and use a ClutterX11TexturePixmap actor to display it inside an extension. you'll have to pass events from the Clutter actor to your application as well. you can use some form of IPC, like D-Bus, to pass the XID and the events.

I want to use an editor to display a log from a program, I just need a very basic text field:
With a vertical scrollbar
With a contextual menu for copy/paste
Prevent the user from changing the text
In order to activate the copy/paste menu, I use the class racket:text% from framework rather than the basic one.
How to prevent the user from changing the text?
I read the documentation, as far as I understand the closest thing I found is lock method:
https://docs.racket-lang.org/gui/editor___.html?q=lock#%28meth._%28%28%28lib._mred%2Fmain..rkt%29._editor~3c~25~3e%29._lock%29%29
But it is not convenient, as it also prevent my program to write the data.
I also find get-read-write? but cannot find set-read-write.
Use the lock method, and just unlock the editor around any modifications that you want to do. You may find it useful to write a call-with-unlock helper function or with-unlock macro.
If you do your updates from the eventspace's handler thread (and you probably should; use queue-callback if they originate from another thread), then as long as you re-lock the editor at the end of an update, the user will never be able to interact with the unlocked editor.
I'm using xcuitest framework to automate mac application. I get system dialogs when the app is opened again after it crashes. I want to handle the dialog programmatically. But the dialog appears under the process `UserNotificationCenter' instead of the application under test. How can I handle the alert in such case?
You have two options:
Use InterruptionMonitor (documentation, use-case). This
approach is however kinda old and I found, that it does not work for
all dialogs and situations.
Create a method, which will wait for some regular app's button. If the app's button (or tab bar or other such XCUIElement) is visible and hittable after your app started, you can proceed with your test and if it's not, you can wait for the UserNotificationCenter dialog's button and identify&tap it by its string/position.
I'm using the second approach and its working much better, than the InterruptionMonitor. But it really depends on your app layout and use-case.
You should be able to revent it from appearing in the first place. Something like:
defaults write com.apple.CrashReporter DialogType none
I'm trying to use a custom video player NPAPI plugin (view FireBreath) inside an tabbed ExtJS application. The plugin lives in one tab, and the others contain presentations of other non-video data.
When switching from tab to tab, the element that contains the plugin is destroyed, and all plugin state is lost. Is there any way to configure an ExtJS tabbed panel so that the html contained in it is not altered when switching to another tab (just hidden)? The alternative is to re-populate the plugin state when returning to the tab, but this would be associated with an unacceptable delay (mostly while waiting for video key frames).
Thanks,

I don't know about your ExtJS approach, if you can solve it on that side that would of course be preferrable.
However, if you can't, you can avoid the reinitialization by moving the stream handling to a helper application that is running in the background. The plugin would launch it as needed and receive the stream data from it after registering for it.
The helper would be told when to kill a stream and possibly kill it by itself after some timeout (to avoid session leaks in case of crashing plugins etc.).
I was about to consider a helper application as recommended above, or look into rewriting the plugin to be windowless. Both might be more robust solutions for other JS frameworks.
Fortunately, the solution ended up being simpler than this, at least for ExtJS. By default, ExtJS sets "display: none" on the tabbed view's div whenever it is undisplayed, which calls the plugin destructor. After doing a little more looking through their enormous API, ExtJS has a parameter hideMode as part of the Ext.panel.Panel base class:
'display' : The Component will be hidden using the display: none style.
'visibility' : The Component will be hidden using the visibility: hidden style.
'offsets' : The Component will be hidden by absolutely positioning it out of the visible area of the document. This is useful when a hidden Component must maintain measurable dimensions. Hiding using display results in a Component having zero dimensions.
Defaults to: "display"
Setting the parent Panel that contains the plugin to hideMode: 'offsets' fixed the problem perfectly.
We use MVP with custom EventBus to navigate across the views. One of our GWT module loads an ebook within a view. We have a button named "Expand", which upon clicked, loads the ebook in expanded mode thereby hiding the header, footer, etc.
Let us say the view (UiBinder) with "Expand" button is named as "ShowEbookView". Upon clicking "Expand" button, the ClickEvent is captured and fired to the EventBus. The logic onExpand(final ExpandEvent expandEvent) is written in the same "ShowExpandedMod" class.
Everything is okay, but we have a button named "Popout" in the expanded mode, which when clicked, should open the Ebook in a NEW page! We need to abstract the "ShowExpandedMod" class so that it can operate with the EbookId and can be used in the new page.
We have created a new Module with EntryPoint class, HTML page and UiBinder page for this new popout window. I am not sure how to proceed now with the abstraction and to use EventBus across different modules to load the same content ... (with re-usability ofcourse)
I've explained to my best, but perhaps not very clear! Please let me know if you want more details.
Thanks!
When you open a new window in browser you basically get a new instance of your GWT app. You can not use EventBus across different browser windows, i.e. across different GWT module instances.
What you can do is:
Add an argument to the Popout page URL. This is easies done via "history tokens" (fragment identifiers), like this http://yourdomain.com/popout.html#theIdOfTheDocument. Then you can retrieve the token via History.getToken()
Use DOM to communicate between browser windows: window.open() in javascript opens a new window and returns a reference to DOM of the new window. You can then access properties and functions of the new window. This is all javascript, in order to make this work in GWT you'll need to wrap it in JSNI.
Try and use MVP4G, in specific - take a look at their multi-modules feature (which utilizes GWT's code splitting capabilities).
This should make things like multiple EventBus's and cross-module event triggers a lot easier to handle.
I'm trying to setup automated unit tests for an iPhone application. I'm using a UIWebView and need to simulate clicks on different links. I've tried doing this with JavaScript, but it doesn't produce the same result as when I manually click on the links. The main problem is with links that have their target property set.
When you manually click on a standard "popup" link (e.g. <a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">), the UIWebView will ignore the click event and won't navigate to anything. If you then try clicking on this very same link automatically via the JavaScript dispatchEvent() method, the UIWebView will completely ignore the target attribute and will open up the link normally in the current page.
I need an my automatic unit testing to produce the exact same results as when you manually click a link.
I believe the only way for this automated unit test to work correctly is to simulate a mouse click at a specific x/y coordinate (i.e. where the link is located). Since the unit testing will only be used internally, private API calls are fine.
It seems like this should be possible since the iPhone app isimulate seems to do something similar.
Is there any way to do this in the framework?
I found a similar question titled Simulate mouse click to window instead of screen, however I'm guessing this method is only valid for OS X, and not for iPhone OS.
I suppose you could simulate the touches by calling the touchesBegan/touchesEnded methods directly on the UIView (check the UIResponder class).
The proper way to do this would be to construct your own UIEvent and then post this event to your UIApplication instance via its -sendEvent: method.
However, there doesn't appear to be a public API for constructing a UIEvent, so you might be out of luck.
Could you store the locations of the clicks in a data structure that you use in your tests and then simulate standard touch events as described here described here
--- Just spotted that you didn't have much luck with the example on this link. The only other options I can suggest would be to manipulate the html when running from a test to replace any _target links (you know that UIWebView handles these properly when clicking manually, so I think a small bodge is ok for the unit test?).
Nice walkthrough in this answer
For your specific case, it may be sufficient to test in the simulator and use a MacOS event generator to make the clicks.
The private calls for recording and sending events are part of GraphicServices/GSEvent.h with the standard use at your own risk disclaimers. Every UIEvent is really a UIInternalEvent that has a reference to a __GSEvent, so for recording you can use the _gsEvent property to get the underlying event.
#property (nonatomic,assign) struct __GSEvent *_gsEvent;
I have not used any of this stuff, but it looks like GSSendSystemEvent would be a good place to start.
