It's certainly helpful that y2-gtk now handles this situation gracefully and prevents the whole thing from crashing, but - `item cell and the least of all, the entire`item content should *never ever* become nil. If it does, it is a bug in YCP code - think about substituting an empty string if the value is undefined or eliminate nil's from the term list before passing it to UI. The bug (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=567505) should now be reassigned to y2-firewall maintainer (with lower priority and/or severity) to solve the YCP part. fB. > =========================================================================== >=== --- branches/SuSE-Code-11-Branch/gtk/tests/Firewall_bnc567505.ycp > (added) +++ branches/SuSE-Code-11-Branch/gtk/tests/Firewall_bnc567505.ycp > Thu Feb 18 18:22:11 2010 @@ -0,0 +1,21 @@ > +// bug 567505 > +// GTK UI crashes when cell not set > + > +{ > + UI::OpenDialog( > + `VBox( > + `Table( > + `header("Name", "Price"), > + [ > + `item(`id(1), "Chili", 6), > + `item(`id(2), "Salami Baguette", nil), > + `item(nil), // crash > + `item(`id(4), "Steak Sandwich", 12) > + ] > + ), > + `PushButton("&OK") > + ) > + ); > + UI::UserInput(); > + UI::CloseDialog(); > +} -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] WebYaST: users and groups
by Michal Zugec 18 Feb '10

18 Feb '10

Hi webyast hackers! Today I submited groups selection / deselection implementation into git, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=580455 There are 3 issues I'd like to ask you for help: 1 - it doesn't work with Internet Explorer 8 (which is supported browser). Could anyone experienced find where the problem is? 2 - when one of the lists is too long it looks very bad. Any idea how to solve it? (scrollbars, align into more columns, ...) 3 - also some visible distinction between "all groups" and "selected groups" would be nice. I'll add labels there of course ;-) Thank you, Michal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] YaST dns-server module silently failing
by Nicholas Tung 13 Feb '10

Hi all, I have a machine on which the YaST dns-server module is silently failing (no command line output is produced). Fortunately, the server seems to be working, I just can't configure it. I don't want to edit the DNS entries by hand, if possible. Any assistance would be much appreciated. The output on /var/log/messages when restarting named is here [1].

[yast-devel] How to avoid sending nil to dbus
by Josef Reidinger 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Hi, few bugs in last few days contain problem with sending nil to DBus which crash. Easy way to solve it is to use validations. In restService is BaseModel[1] which povides validation. Usage is same as for ActiveRecord validations [2]. For inspiration how it could look like you can look at time model [3] (I allow nil in validation but then handle it, but if sending empty value doesn't make sense you can force non-nil). Feel free to ask questions.

[yast-devel] Reminder: Watch out on what you test
by Klaus Kaempf 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Just a reminder, since I just stumbled over it: When writing test cases, focus on testing _your_ model (resp. controller) implementation. Do _not_ try to test e.g. the YaPI, D-Bus, PackageKit itself ! Such tests belong to the package providing the used functions (e.g. YaST for YaPI). Thanks !

[yast-devel] WebYaST: Improved routing - dot is allowed in path :id now
by Ladislav Slezak 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Hi, I have slightly changed routing in WebYaST (in the both components). The problem was that e.g. repositories/show/openSUSE-11.2.xml request was parsed to :id => "openSUSE-11", :format => "2". That obviously could not work properly. It was fixed by specifying requirements for :id parsing: In the service: :requirements => {:id => /[^\/]*(?=\.html|\.xml|\.json)|.+/ } In the client: :requirements => {:id => /[^\/]*(?=\.html|\.js)|.+/ } Now whole string is used for :id, if there is a predefined suffix it is excluded from the :id. The regexps have to be modified if we need to support a new format in the future. (For more details about routing see: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Routing.html http://zargony.com/2009/05/05/routing-parameters-with-a-dot ) -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: lslezak(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Version information added in Bugzilla
by Klaus Kaempf 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Hi, the 'WebYaST' product in bugzilla.novell.com now has versions to choose from. This means that a bug now has a "version" in which the bug first appeared and a "target milestone", when the bug should be fixed. This is probably much more useful to plan sprints and to flag where/when a bug is to be fixed. I.e. maintenance updates to the 1.0 release have "ApToolkit 1.0 Update" as their target milestones. Additional version can be added freely (20 char limit) at any time. Thoughts ?

[yast-devel] Repackage check-create-certificate.pl?
by Tim Serong 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Hi All, I have a need for check-create-certificate.pl outside of WebYaST. Now, I can just grab a copy from the git repo and package it up separately as part of the project I'm working on (but *not* installed to /usr/sbin, to avoid conflicts in case WebYaST is also installed)... But it'd be nice to avoid this duplication if possible. Is there any scope for moving this script to some common base package? In particular, to some common base package that's available on SLES, in addition to openSUSE?

[yast-devel] user module and basic ui proposal
by Martin Schmidkunz 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Hi, please find a proposal for users dialog on: http://home.arcor.de/martin.schmidkunz/users5.html As I could not figure out, how to give the link in the list a different format via css I had to skip the link adding :-( Can anyone give me a hint? If that is solved, than of course you would click on edit and then you would get the following page: http://home.arcor.de/martin.schmidkunz/users_edit.html * Login settings: show basic settings for a user * Groups: what is missing is an overview of groups the user is already a member. This overview should be a list similar to the users overview. When the user hovers over a group he is shown the following: video Leave group | Group ID: 123 | Show group members Unfortunately I lack the technical skills to implement this. Can anyone help me with that? Is there a way to display a description of the group (at least I find it hard to image what is behind the group "video")? * Advanced settings: advanced stuff like login shell, home directory. What would be a non-technical description for these terms? Groups management: not really included in the mock up. One idea for group management would be to split the overview vertically into a users overview and a group overview. Permissions: I think that it would make sense to include user permissions in the users module. The users proposal also shows a kind of general proposal for overviews: * "Add" should be shown as a button on top of the overview * The overview items are shown as short entries. On hover some basic actions are revealed: Edit/Delete or in case of services Start/Stop, Refresh. * Edit: settings are shown on the next page with Save/Cancel as buttons. * Delete: shows a confirmation pop up Tabs: Instead of tabs sliders are used to make the layout more consistent. On hover settings are shown. Filter: Filter is shown between the add button and the overview aligned on the left. Is it technical possible to filter the list entries as used in users overview? If something is typed in which is not in the list, would it be possible to include this entry and add a "This entry does not exist. Would you like to create it?")

[yast-devel] yast documentation
by stefan.eisenwiener＠freenet.de 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Hallo everybody, I have tried to renew the greman webappearance of YaST (because it was the oldest layout). Now I am needing some help. I'm getting to the developers documentation, and somethings don't make sense. -- basic YCP questions 1. Why do we need YCP. (an other scripting language would have done the same trick) 2. Why is YCP type based. 3. What is the use of Symbol and Trem Datatypes in YCP. (not the format) 4. What is the use of Byteblock Datatype. -- Modul design question Why is the SCR concept not used like it was defined in the documentation, to be the system IO. According to the Tutorial one should write a global API of the Modul to access data the Modul works with. This HACK would be redundant if SCR like described in the documentation, would provide the data. OK this would meen the SCR tree would be something like the Registry from the evil Empire of Redmond, founded by Darth Gates. :-) If anyone could help me, it would meen much to me, thanks. best regards Stefan Eisenwiener Unbegrenzter Speicher, Top-Spamschutz, 120 SMS und eigene E-MailDomain inkl. http://office.freenet.de/dienste/emailoffice/produktuebersicht/power/mail/i…
