codestriker-user — Discussion of any issue to do with Codestriker

[Codestriker-user] Sorted list of files in a topic.

[Vysotsky, V. <vvy...@av...>]

Just installed Codestriker 1.9.1 (FreeBSD 6.1, Apache 2.2, MySQL 4.1.14,
Subversion 1.1, worked right out the box) - great tool!
=20
I'm creating topics directly from Subversion. One problem I've noticed
immediately
is that file list in a topic is not sorted by filename. Instead, files
are listed in some
semi-sorted order defined by Subversion. I couldn't find any
configuration options
that would trigger file sorting. Did I miss something?

Patching the code to sort by filename was rather trivial: in
lib\Codestriker\FileParser\Parser.pm,
insert just before the first return:

    # Sort the diff chunks by filename, then old linenumber
    @diffs =3D sort { $a->{filename} cmp $b->{filename} ||
$a->{old_linenumber} <=3D> $b->{old_linenumber} } @diffs;
=20
Would it make sense to make this a configurable feature?

Re: [Codestriker-user] topics using diffs from subversion repositories

[Jason R. <jre...@ya...>]

Hi,

These are all legitimate uses. I don't think it would be that hard to add them in. You would need
to modify the code that checks the params, and them modify the Subversion.pm module. 

Now, if you are not up for that, you can always issue the svn diff command yourself from a local
working copy and upload the topic text. It will stick allow the use of the parallel view, so there
is nothing wrong with the "svn diff, topic upload" way of creating a topic.

In general the create topic text window is very confusing because codestriker needs to support a
bunch of different revision control systems. It forces us to force fit everything into cvs speak.
A further enhancement would be change the labels of the start,end,module to svn speak when a svn
repository is selected via some java script.

Lastly, your email is very nicely lays out all of the ways svn can be used. It would be good to
put a section in the manual like your email to show what can be done directly and what has to be
created with svn diff (like the --no-diff-deleted options). 

Thanks
Jason

Re: [Codestriker-user] topics using diffs from subversion repositories

[Giuseppe S. <giu...@an...>]

David,

Thanks for your reply.  I think the issue boils to allow the user to
specify two paths.  Since subversion allows the "@" notation to specify
versions to diff (see below), this could be easily achieved extending
the usage of the existing "Start tag" and "End tag" fields.


** Scenario 1: diffs from different revisions on the same path

Example: reviewing latest changes to the trunk.

Field usage is currently:

    Start tag: 56
    End tag:   HEAD
    Module:    /trunk/dir1

which translates into

    svn diff -r 56:HEAD --old=svn://my-repos  /trunk/dir1

An alternative usage could be added, which would also allow for scenario
2 below:

    Start tag: /trunk/dir1@56
    End tag:   /trunk/dir1@HEAD
    Module:    <empty>

This should translate into

    svn diff --old=svn://my-repos/trunk/dir1@56 \
        --new=svn://my-repos/trunk/dir1@HEAD

This same command syntax could also be used with the first field usage:
if field "Module" is empty, append the contents of "Start tag" and "End
tag" directly to the repository path, otherwise prepend them first with
the content of "Module" and an "@" character.


** Scenario 2: diffs from revisions on different paths

This is impossible in Codestriker 1.9.2, but a common situation in svn
repositories.

Example 1: review changes made in a branch before merging back to trunk.

    svn diff --old=svn://my-repos/branches/rel1/dir1@56 \
        --new=svn://my-repos/trunk/dir1@HEAD

    Using the second field usage from scenario 1, this could be achieved
    with:

    Start tag: /branches/rel1/dir1@56
    End tag:   /trunk/dir1@HEAD
    Module:    <empty>

Example 2: review changes made in a branch since branching off from trunk.

    svn diff --old=svn://my-repos/trunk/dir1@33 \
        --new=svn://my-repos/branches/rel1/dir1

    where rev. 33 is where the branch was created, and the HEAD of the
    branch is selected by default.

    Start tag: /trunk/dir1@33
    End tag:   /branches/rel1/dir1
    Module:    <empty>

Example 3: review all files in revision 66.

    (this is a bit of a hack, since it's a diff between two directories
    that have no files in common, but it works and it is useful when you
    want to review the lot, not just files that have changed)

    svn diff --old=svn://my-repos/@1 \
        --new=svn://my-repos/trunk/dir1@66

    Start tag: /@1
    End tag:   /trunk/dir1@66
    Module:    <empty>


HOWEVER, there are at least two downsides to my suggestion:

1. The names associated to entry fields would become even more
   misleading.  As it is now, when using a subversion reporitory "Start
   tag" should really be "Start revision".  With the above proposal it
   should become something like "Start path@rev", or better "Start peg",
   in svn talk.  But this would be incompatible with non-subversion
   repositories.

2. "svn diff" has some options that could be useful to users.  For
   example "--no-diff-deleted", that would skip files that are no longer
   present in the new revision.  A checkbox could be added for this, but
   it would only make sense for svn repositories.  Maybe a generic "diff
   options" field could be added, that would also work for CVS and
   others.

What do you think?

Re: [Codestriker-user] topics using diffs from subversion repositories

[David S. <si...@us...>]

Hi Giuseppe,

Yes, what you are asking for is currently only available for CVS 
repositories, partly because CVS makes it very easy to implement these 
different scenarios all via the cvs rdiff command, and using the special 
revision "1.0" which exists for all files.

What Codestriker needs at the end of the day is diff text to create the 
topic with.  If you can show me for each scenario below what the svn 
commands would be to create the unidiff file, I can put that into 
Codestriker.

I suspect this could be tricky... but hope I am wrong.  I don't know 
Subversion very well I'm afraid.

Jason can answer this far better than me.

Cheers,
David

Basically - the reviewers list could be an email alias for your whole 
engineering team, but the reviewers are those people who actually need 
to spend time reviewing the code.

Other people in the team could give the review a cursory glance - hence 
the use of the Cc field here.

[Codestriker-user] topics using diffs from subversion repositories

[Giuseppe S. <giu...@an...>]

Hello,

I am currently using CodeStriker 1.9.2.  Can anyone tell me if there is
currently a way to create a topic loading from a subversion repository a
/single revision/ of a file or directory?

The pop-up help it seems to indicate that leaving the "end tag" empty
should do the trick, but that doesn't seem to work, svn expects both
tags.  I tried many other combinations, but it seems to me that some
code surgery is needed.  The only thing I have been able to do was to
load a diff between two revisions belonging to the same path.

Is anyone aware of plans to fix this in a future release?  It would be
very useful to be able to load a single revision of a path, as well as
diffs between two different revisions of /two different paths/ (say diff
rev. 40 on a branch against rev. 30 on the trunk).

Cheers,

Giuseppe

David and Jason,

I went back and did what you two are suggested.

1. rerun ./install.pl
2. Then modify httpd.conf file as the instruction for cgi script on codestriker.

Things are ok now. It was apache piece that cause a problem.

Thank you for your help. Your codestriker is so cool.

Make sure after you have run install.pl, that all the files in the 
Codestriker directory are owned by the same user that runs httpd.  This 
sounds like it could be a permissions issue with the directories/files. 
  Check the apache access/error log, it should provide more information.

ie, you'll need to do something like (assuming user nobody runs httpd)

# cd /var/www/html/codestriker/bin
# ./install.pl
# cd ..
# chown -R nobody.nobody .
# /etc/init.d/httpd restart

Hi,

It sounds like a problem in the apache configuration file. Apache does not know it is supposed to
run the perl code as a cgi, so instead it is serving out the source code. Could you send us your
changes to the apache file. They should look like the examples in the install manual. 

Thanks

RE: [Codestriker-user] zoom with FF

After sending the message I tried this against the test Topic on the CS site
and it worked fine for me, also.  For some reason it is really slow from my
server.  Not sure what to look at...

I didn't know Firefox had this feature - how neat, I always used Control 
+/- to zoom in and out.

I just tried it myself and it worked fine.  This is really outside
Codestriker though - once the HTML is in Firefox, the manipulation of the
display is purely a browser function, there is no communication with the
server in this case.

I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.2 FWIW.

I didn't know Firefox had this feature - how neat, I always used Control 
+/- to zoom in and out.

I just tried it myself and it worked fine.  This is really outside 
Codestriker though - once the HTML is in Firefox, the manipulation of 
the display is purely a browser function, there is no communication with 
the server in this case.

I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.2 FWIW.

[Codestriker-user] zoom with FF

[Mark K. <Mar...@mo...>]

When using codestriker with Firefox and viewing the full source of the 
file by clicking on Parallel, the zoom out command (Cntrl + Scroll wheel 
up) temporarily freezes the pop up window and my browser too. Zooming in 
does not have this problem, nor does the normal browser.

Has anyone experienced this?  Not sure why this would be.

There must be some difference between the environment which has been 
setup when apache2 runs, and the shell for the apache user.  I can only 
suggest checking apache2's init scripts and config file for any clues..

I have had other people telling me they have had problems with MySQL

never had the chance to fully track down the root causes.  This may not

You probably did this already, but bear in mind if you recompile 
DBD:mysql, make sure the source distribution of MySQL it is compiling 
against is indeed version 5.0, and not an older version.

Strange - perhaps the user running apache has a difference environment 
setup such that it is picking up an older version of the DBD::mysql perl 
module compared to root?

Perhaps you could try running install.pl as the same user that runs 
apache as a test.

There is something along these lines: "batch comments together".  Feel

Has there ever been talk about daily digesting of topic emails?  It

Re: [Codestriker-user] CVS_RSH (cvs over :ext:/SSH), the state of states and selinux advice (while testing)

[Jason R. <jre...@ya...>]

Hi,

Also, for the record, you need a different Apache config directive to set an environment variable
in mod_perl

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_PerlSetEnv_

That is why SetEnv did not work.

Thanks
Jason

That is very strange indeed to see such a time difference... that is 
certaintly not my experience.

I keep finding strange things occurring with mod_perl, particularly when 
launching external programs, and how stdout/err is handled.

When in doubt - stick with CGI.

There was a fix to 1.9.1 re: javascript quoting which may be the culprit 
here.  Can you try downloading 1.9.2-alpha-3 to see if this fixes your 
problem?

If it doesn't, can you save the topic text screen as html, and send it 
to me as an attachment so I can have a closer look?  Thanks.

[Codestriker-user] Problem adding comments in 1.9.1

[Peter B. <Pet...@in...>]

I am not sure, if my last message has made it, because i can not see it in the 
list, so i try it again.

I am trying Codestriker 1.9.1 on Linux using Apache 2, mod_perl and/or cgi.

Everything seeems fine, until I try to add comments.
I created a new topic for a plain text file (a c program).
It shows up correctly with line numbers as hyperlinks. But neither clicking on 
one of the line number hyperlinks nor on the "Add gerneral comment .." or 
"add file comment..." does open a new window to add a comment.

The codestriker demo pages do work.

What can be wrong ??
(Browser allows new pop up windows, javascript enabled, no log information 
from apache2)

Thanks for any help,
Peter Biechele
