Does the ActionLinkForAreas link extension work with parameters + custom routes?
I have a route that exists matching my action which is:
routes.MapRoute("Profile", "profile/{artist}/{action}", new {controller="Profile", action="Index"});
But when I call ActionLinkForAreas like this:
<%= Html.ActionLinkForAreas<ProfileController>(x => x.Index("DJ"), "DJ") %>
It returns /profile/?artist=DJ where as I would like it to return /profile/DJ as my route is setup.
If i call ActionLink it returns the correct URL, i have tested this in the Northwind sample project and I get the same result.
Am I missing something?
Paul,
You might be correct that this is a bug. There are no unit tests to test this either. Right now we are in the middle of a re-write for S#arp Architecture and the areas support we currently have in 1.5.2 will not be in 2.0. We have decided to use the built-in areas 100% completely. If we have to add a custom view engine, it will be due to the need to override the area locations.
Since we are working on 2.0 and this feature is going away, I have to be honest and say that we most likely will not jump on this one to fix it. I would however welcome a patch as I am sure others would be grateful as well.

I have been researching about this term for so many hours, but I found anything useful yet.
Hope you can help us building this redmine plugin, or provide us some research links to help us find the correct key.
What we want to build
The thing is we want to update one custom field in redmine (let's name it 'Target_CF') whenever another one is created or updated.
We are looking for incrementing possible values of Target_CF, so we can have all custom field's names available to select.
Of course, we want to achieve this without directly editing Redmine's Core, so we thought developing a plugin would be the best approach.
Our plugin also creates and configures a new custom field (the one mentioned above), but I will let this out of the question, because I think it is not relevant for this.
Where we are right now
We have identified some hooks that could be useful for us, as the following:
:controller_custom_fields_new_after_save
:controller_custom_fields_edit_after_save
We have the following directories/files structure so far:
plugins/
custom_plugin/
init.rb
lib/
hooks.rb
The code we have written
init.rb
require_dependency 'hooks'
Redmine::Plugin.register :custom_plugin do
name 'custom_plugin'
author 'author name'
description 'description text'
version '1.0.0'
end
hooks.rb
class Hooks < Redmine::Hook::ViewListener
def controller_custom_fields_edit_after_save(context={ })
#target_custom_field_name = "Target_CF"
CustomField.find_by_name(#target_custom_field_name).possible_values.push(context[:custom_field].name)
end
end
The result of this code is none. I mean, no erros, no updates, nothing at all. There is no change in our possible values after editing/creating another custom field. We are sure there is something we don't know, some concept or workflow, and due to this we are doing something so badly.
Please, help us understeand what we are missing.
Previously we have succesfully developed another plugin that overwrites certain views. So we have kind of little skills in views related plugins, but zero experience at all at controllers ones.
We are using a Redmine 3.2.0 stack by Bitnami and a mysql database.
Well, finally we found out how to extend base controller's methods. I will post it here so hopefully this can be useful to anyone who finds the same doubts we had.
After some more researching, we conclude that it is mandatory to extend base controllers, in order to not directly modify core methods.
This is our final directories/files structures:
plugins/
custom_plugin/
init.rb
lib/
custom_plugin/
issue_custom_field_patch.rb
We previously stated that we could use some hooks to inject our desired functionality, but it seems not to work that way with controllers. On the other hand, we built a patch which will extend target class functionality.
Our final working code
Init.rb
require 'redmine'
ActionDispatch::Callbacks.to_prepare do
require_dependency 'issue_custom_field'
unless IssueCustomField.included_modules.include? CustomPlugin::IssueCustomFieldPatch
IssueCustomField.send(:include, CustomPlugin::IssueCustomFieldPatch)
end
end
Redmine::Plugin.register :custom_plugin do
name 'custom_plugin'
author 'author name'
description 'description text'
version '1.0.0'
end
issue_custom_field_patch.rb
module CustomPlugin
module IssueCustomFieldPatch
def self.included(base) # :nodoc:
base.extend(ClassMethods)
base.send(:include, InstanceMethods)
base.class_eval do
unloadable
after_save :update_possible_values
end
end
end
module ClassMethods
end
module InstanceMethods
def update_possible_values
self.reload
updatedPossibleValues unless self.name == "Target_CF"
end
private
def updatedPossibleValues
#safe_attrs = ['project', 'description', 'due_date', 'category', 'status', 'assigned_to', 'priority', 'fixed_version', 'author', 'lock_version', 'created_on', 'updated_on', 'start_date', 'done_ratio', 'estimated_hours', 'is_private', 'closed_on']
#custom_fields = IssueCustomField.all.select {|cf| !cf[:position].nil?}.collect {|cf| cf.name}
#possible_values = #safe_attrs + #custom_fields
CustomField.find_by_name("Target_CF").update possible_values: #possible_values
end
end
CustomField.send(:include, IssueCustomFieldPatch)
end
Functionality explained
As we stated in the question, we needed to update Target_CF possible values each time the users create/modify/removes a custom field from Redmine.
We extended IssueCustomField's class's instance methods, triggering our new function 'updatedPossibleValues' after each save. This includes creating new custom fields, and of course, updating existing ones and removing them. Because we reload our list of possible values each time, we had to control if its position were nil. If it is, this means that custom field has been removed.
Because of the ultimate action of this patch, which is the updating of another custom field, this also triggered our function, causing an infinite loop. To prevent this, we linked our functionality to every other custom field which name was not 'Target_CF'. A bit rusty fix, but we couldn't find a better approach.
I hope this can be useful to somebody in the future, as they could invest a fraction of time that we spent on this.
Comments, fixes and improvements are very welcome.
Based on: https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Plugin_Internals which is a bit outdated, but finally could complete the code with help of another resources and forums.
I have application in Angularjs2, and developers have not been using ids into it. Now I have to implement the Protractor on same application. Is there anyway to implement the Protractor without using "absolute XPath"?
Thanks in advance!
Please find a huge range of locator-possibilities on the official Protractortest API Page
Every element on a page needs to be uniquely identifiable... else the page wouldn't work, no matter which technology. Therefore with the help of any of the above provided locator-possibilities you'll always find the element you're looking for.
And there is never a need for XPath, except for this only one. (though there is an parentElementArrayFinder introduced in the meantime, so not even that one exception is valid anymore)
UDPATE
If you could use XPath, you can for sure use CSS-Locators.
Here some examples for locators:
$('div.class#id[anyAttribute="anyValue"] div.child.somewhere-below-div-point-class')
element(by.cssContainingText('div[data-index="2"]', 'select this option'))
Or as a specific example the "Learn More" of the "Tree List" section of https://js.devexpress.com/ :
treeListSection = element(by.cssContainingText('div.tab-content h2', 'Tree List')).getDriver();
learnMoreBtn = treeListSection.element(by.cssContainingText('a.tab-button','Learn More'));
learnMoreBtn.click();
Those are just examples, but there is always a way to do it.
If you provide some example-HTML in your Question, I can direct you towards a solution.
UPDATE 2
For getting the Parent Web Element, one could use getDriver() as well
I'm pretty sure about the answer to this, but I'm trying a variety of things to get a very stubborn project to work. One idea was to try to run code through a control without defining it on a form.
So, for example, my original code looked like this:
frmProcess.MyViewer.MaxPageSize = 100
frmProcess.MyViewer.ResetPages
frmProcess.MyViewer.AddPageToView "C:\TestPage1.txt"
I've changed it to:
Dim objViewer As MyViewer
objViewer.MaxPageSize = 100
objViewer.ResetPages
objViewer.AddPageToView "C:\TestPage1.txt"
I get an error window with "Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set".
But there doesn't seem to be a way to 'set' this control. Is this just impossible, or is there another way to do it that doesn't require a form?
EDIT: I ended up abandoning this entire path of activity, as an alternate solution was found that got around the problem I was having with this form freezing. I don't want to delete this question in case someone else comes along and can benefit from the answers, which are potentially useful.
Try this on a form.
Dim objViewer As MyViewer
Set objViewer = Controls.Add("MyViewer", "MyViewer1")
objViewer.MaxPageSize = 100
objViewer.ResetPages
objViewer.AddPageToView "C:\TestPage1.txt"
I've had similar situations in the past. If all else fails and you have to use a form you can do something crude like
1) Set the .Left property of the control to a negative number (like -10000) so the control doesn't appear on the form, the user can not see it
2) Make the entire form not visible..
ActiveX controls normally expect a number of services from their containers, for example persistence. They are also "packaged and marked" in ways that set the kinds of instantiation they support.
See Introduction to ActiveX Controls.
While it is perfectly possible for a control to be created in such a way as to make many of the available services optional, most controls are created from template code that requires a number of them. And most controls that are "visible at runtime" are going to require container services.
However that doesn't mean a control can't be designed to support containerless instantiation. A well known example of such a control is Microsoft Script Control 1.0 (MSScriptControl.ScriptControl) which can be used either way.
I'm increasingly using cfscript, and like it where appropriately used.
One problem is that there doesn't appear to be any code assist for cfscript in CF Builder, so I find myself writing the tag of a function to leverage the code Assist, then converting to cfscript (which is silly).
For example:
addParam() is the cfscript equivalent of <cfqueryparam >. I get code assist when writing the the tag version, but not the script equivalent.
Does anyone know if there is a code assist library available for cfscript in cfBuilder? Or is this just a downside of working with cfscript?
Many Thanks in advance!
Jason
Your example is not using native CFScript, it's using the hack-solution Adobe provided for some shortcomings of CFScript's coverage of CF tags, which are implemented as a bunch of CFCs in the custom tags dir of your install. This stuff is not representative of CFML & its CFScript support as a whole.
I find that CFB gives hinting for most native functionality... is this not the case for you? What if you try listAppend() for example? Do you get code-assist for that?
UPDATE
I wonder if you get a warning in CFB on your line equivalent to this:
o = new Query();
? I do, by default. I have to make a link to the CustomTags/com dir, and then use this syntax:
o = new com.adobe.Query();
Then I don't get a warning, and indeed I get the code assist you're expecting. I cannot get it to give me hinting on just the non-qualified path to Query.cfc though.
Not ideal. Or maybe I'm missing something, too.
I am sending myself WebApp error reports from Pylons when users hit critical errors and I would love to be able to get the full output of session[] in the reports and customize it to my liking, but I've got no idea how to do that, or where the report is actually created / put together.
Anyone know how I can accomplish that?
The short answer is that you will have to roll your own for this functionality. WebError is the package used to handle this, and it doesn't provide any extension points. Your best bet may be to use a fork of it with your changes, although even then the code is not pretty.
I thank Michael for answering me, without really giving me anything to build on. That meant I had to figure it out myself, and that's always a good thing :)
What I did was, I looked at /config/middleware.py in my Pylons project and found this line:
app = ErrorHandler(app, global_conf, **config['pylons.errorware'])
I made my own ErrorHandler def and my own ErrorMiddleware class at the top of the middleware.py file:
class ClaraErrorMiddleware(ErrorMiddleware):
def exception_handler(self, exc_info, environ):
# do what ever you want with the exc_info or environ vars
super(ClaraErrorMiddleware, self).exception_handler(exc_info, environ) # call parent
pass
def ClaraErrorHandler(app, global_conf, **errorware):
if asbool(global_conf.get('debug')):
return ErrorHandler(app, global_conf, **errorware)
else:
return ClaraErrorMiddleware(app, global_conf, **errorware)
So now, I can throw in some extra variables I want to be sent with my error emails. Simple enough ...
