Ignoring attempts to close x with y - html

Ruby on Rails sometimes gives you annoying "Ignoring attempts to close x with y" warnings arising from assert_select. Often these warnings are the result of invalid HTML, but sometimes they appear even if the HTML is valid. The error in my case looks like this while running ruby test/functional/my_controller_test.rb :
..ignoring attempt to close div with h2
opened at byte 8551, line 207
closed at byte 9554, line 243
attributes at open: {"class"=>"my_css_class", "id"=>"object_1"}
text around open: " \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n\r\n <div class=\"my_css_class"
text around close: "</a>\r\n </h2>\r\n\r\n <span"
But there is no attempt to close a div with a h2 tag. I tried a HTML validator, but without success. The -W0 parameter mentioned by Giles seems to help - ruby -W0 test/functional/my_controller_test.rb gives no longer a warning, but this does not work for rake test:whatever. What does -W0 do, and how can you avoid using it?

In test helper:
class ActionController::TestCase
include Devise::TestHelpers
Paperclip.options[:log] = false
Mocha::Deprecation.mode = :disabled
#
# kill verbsity
#
verbosity = $-v
$-v = nil
end

There are various command line options for Ruby unit tests. -W does not belong to them, it is a command line option for pure Ruby. As ruby --help says, the ruby -W[level] command line option sets the warning level for Ruby; 0=silence, 1=medium, 2=verbose (default). ruby -W0 sets the warning level to silence.
$ ruby --help
[...]
-w turn warnings on for your script
-W[level] set warning level; 0=silence, 1=medium, 2=verbose (default)
The -W flag also activates the "verbose" mode of Ruby. Mislav has a good explanation of the verbose mode. From within Ruby code, verbosity can be set and tested with the value of the $VERBOSE global variable, which can have 3 states: nil ("0"), false ("1"), and true ("2"). So you can suppress warning for your Test::Unit test by setting
$VERBOSE = nil
in your test_helper.rb. For running RSpecs test you can suppress ruby warning similarly.

Tcl - Reading characters from stdin without having to press enter in Tcl

I would like to read from stdin on a per character basis without the stdin being flushed. I could not find how to do that after tweaking for hours. Tcl always seems to wait for the channel to be flushed even in fconfigure stdin -blocking 0 -buffering none. Is that true? How would I otherwise approach this?
More explanation:
Imagine a Tcl program that makes its own prompt with some threads running code in the background. I would like this prompt to react to single keystrokes, for example: when you press 'p' (without pressing enter) the prompt reads that character and pauses the threads, when you press 'q' the prompt kills the threads and stops the program. The cleanest and closest solution is shortly demonstrated in the following code snippet.
proc readPrompt { } {
set in [ read stdin 1 ]
if { $in eq "q" } {
puts "Quitting..."
set ::x 1
} {
puts "Given unknown command $in"
}
}
fconfigure stdin -blocking 0 -buffering none
fileevent stdin readable { readPrompt }
vwait x
The result from running this is:
a
Given unknown command a
Given unknown command
After pressing the 'a', nothing happens. My guess is that the stdin is not flushed or something. Pressing enter or CTRL-d triggers the fileevent and the prompt then reads both the characters 'a' and 'enter'.
Ideally, I want the enter-press not to be needed. How could I accomplish this?
EDIT: I found this question and solution about a related use in Python: Determine the terminal cursor position with an ANSI sequence in Python 3 This is approximately the behaviour I'm looking for, but in Tcl.
If you have 8.7 (currently in alpha) then this is “trivial”:
fconfigure stdin -inputmode raw
That delivers all characters to you, without echoing them. (There's also modes normal and password, both of which preprocess the data before delivery and only one of which echoes.) You'll have to look after giving visual feedback to the user yourself, and be aware that all includes all characters usually only used for line editing purposes.
Otherwise, on Unixes (Linux, macOS) you do:
exec stty raw -echo <#stdin >#stdout
to switch the mode to the same config, and:
exec stty -raw echo <#stdin >#stdout
to switch back. (Not all Unixes need the input and output redirects, but some definitely do.)
Windows consoles have something similar in 8.7, but not in previous versions; a workaround might be possible using the TWAPI console support but that's a very low level API (and I don't know the details).

ns: 217: invalid command name "217" while executing "217"

I am simulating Wireless Sensor Network using NS2.35 and I get an error saying
ns: 217: invalid command name "217"
while executing
"217"
I have no where used such command throughput my tcl file. Can any one help why I get this error?
You've probably used a variable containing a numeric value as a command name, perhaps by putting it at the start of a line or by placing [brackets] around it (because brackets do command substitution). The brackets can be even embedded in a string:
This example demonstrates what I mean:
set xyz 217
puts "This is [$xyz] in brackets"
If you want to print some literal brackets out around a variable, you have to add some backslashes:
set xyz 217
puts "This is \[$xyz\] in brackets"
The problem could also be if you've got a command that returns 217 and you've put brackets around it at the start of a line (or in other places where a command is expected):
proc xyz {} {
return 217
}
[xyz]
You've not shown us your code so which exact possibility it is… we can't tell. But I bet it'll be one of these problems. Tcl cares about its syntax characters, and is very exacting about making sure they do what they say they do.
invalid command name "217" :
"217" is an internal command in your 'ns' executable.
Please tell which changes you made to ns-2.35/, if any. (WSN ?)
And please upload your "wsn.tcl" file to e.g. 'Google Docs'.

Perl issues regarding mysql:Can't locate object method "connect" and Can't use string ("") as a HASH

I'm currently trying to run NERVE a vaccine development program that is made up of Perl scripts and have trouble getting it to run properly. I've downloaded and installed all prerequisites but every time I reach the mysql step of the code, it crashes, and an error message says: Can't locate object method "connect" via package "Mysql" (perhaps you forgot to load "Mysql"?) at ./NERVE line 340, line 5. I took a look at the code and changed "use mysql" to "use DBI" and "use DBD:mysql" but then I get the error: Can't use string ("") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2/DBI.pm line 604, line 5.
I would appreciate if anyone could look the code over for the mysql section and give me advice on how to fix it so I can run the program properly. I tried emailing the developers but no response so I'm hoping you guys can help me.
Below is the perl code for NERVE for the mysql section.
use mysql;
$db=Mysql->connect("$host","$database","$user","$password");
if(!$db || (!$host || !$database || !$user || !$password)){
print "\nAttention: mysql connection parameters are missing or not correct!\n";
print "I need you to specify: host, database, user, password;\n";
print "You can do it now typing them right in that order and separeted only by comma;\n";
print "For example:localhost,Pathogens,sandro,xvzhs\n";
print "So, your Mysql connection settings are (type q to quit):";
while (!($db && $mysql =~ /,/) & $mysql ne "q"){
chomp($mysql = <STDIN>);
die "Ok,let's quit this work! Call me when your mind is clearer about Mysql parameters! Bye :-)\n" if $mysql eq "q";
($host,$database,$user,$password) = split (',',$mysql);
$db=Mysql->connect("$host","$database","$user","$password");
last if($db && $mysql =~ /,/);
print "\nMysql connection settings still not correct!\n";
print "Remember: host, database, user, password, separeted only by comma.\n";
print "For example:localhost,Pathogens,sandro,xvzhs\n";
print "Please, try again:";
}
print "Ok, Mysql connection to \"$database\" database was successful!\n";
}
The error message is correct. You are attempting to use a module named , but you never loaded it. Change
use mysql;
to
use Mysql;
to use that module. In the comments, you mention that results in
Can't locate Mysql.pm in #INC
Unless you have reason to believe the module is installed, that indicates it needs to be installed[1]
That module used to be part of the DBD-mysql distribution, but it's obsolete. It's so ancient it was removed from DBD some years ago. To obtain it, you will need to downgrade your DBD-mysql distribution to version 3.0008.
That's pretty awful thing to do. The script should have DBI instead.
cjm points
since the Mysql.pm in 3.0008 is just a compatibility layer using DBI under the hood, you should be able to install Mysql.pm & Mysql/Statement.pm from that old dist along with a current DBD-mysql.
So if you extract Mysql.pm from the distro I linked above as /usr/lib/perl5/Mysql.pm and Mysql/Statement.pm as /usr/lib/perl5/Mysql/Statement.pm, you should have an easy pain-free solution.
In newer versions of Perl, the error message has been improved. It now reads as follows:
Can't locate Mysql.pm in #INC (you may need to install the Mysql module)

printing the output of shell command from python subprocess

I am running a shell script which emits lots of line while executing...they are just status output rather than the actual output....
I want them to be displayed on a JTextArea. I am working on jython. The piece of my code looks like:
self.console=JTextArea(20,80)
cmd = "/Users/name/galaxy-dist/run.sh"
p = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
self.console.append(p.stdout.read())
This will wait until the command finishes and prints the output. But I want to show the realtime out put to mimic the console. Anybody have the idea ?
You're making things more complicated than they need to be. The Popen docs state the following about the stream arguments:
With the default settings of None, no redirection will occur; the child’s file handles will be inherited from the parent. [my emphasis]
Therefore, if you want the subprocess' output to go to your stdout, simply leave those arguments blank:
subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=True)
In fact, you aren't using any of the more advanced features of the Popen constructor, and this particular example doesn't need any parsing by the shell, so you can simplify it further with the subprocess.call() function:
subprocess.call(cmd)
If you still want the return code, simply set a variable equal to this call:
return_code = subprocess.call(cmd)

IF and ! = ns2 error

I have a problem with path in a tcl file. I tried to use
source " /tmp/mob.tcl "
and this path in bash file :
/opt/ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35/indep-utils/cmu-scen-gen/setdest/setdest -v 1 -n $n -p 10 -M 64 -t 100 -x 250 -y 250 >> /tmp/mob.tcl
The terminal give me this output:
..."
(procedure "source" line 8)
invoked from within
"source "/tmp/mob.tcl" "
(file "mobilita_source.tcl" line 125)
How I can do this?
Firstly, this:
source " /tmp/mob.tcl "
is very unlikely to be correct. The spaces around the filename inside the quotes will confuse the source command. (It could be correct, but only if you have a directory in your current directory whose name is a single space. That's really unlikely, unless you're a great deal more evil than I am.)
It really helps a lot if you stop making this error.
Secondly, the error message is both
Incomplete, with just an ellipsis instead of a full error on the first line
Really worrying, with source claimed to be a procedure (second line of that short trace).
It's legal to make a procedure called source, and sometimes the right thing to do, but if you're doing it then you have to be ever so careful to duplicate the semantics of the standard Tcl command or odd things will happen.
Thirdly, you've got a file of what is apparently generated code, and you're hitting a problem in it, and you're not telling us what is on/around line 125 of the file (the error trace is pretty clear on that front) or in the contents of the source procedure (which is non-standard; the standard source is implemented in C) and you're expecting us to guess what's going wrong for you??? Seriously?
Tcl error traces are usually quite clear enough for you to figure out what went wrong and where. If there's an unclear error, and it didn't come from user code (by calling error or return -code error) then let us know; we'll help (or possibly even change Tcl to make things clearer in the future). But right now, there's a complete shortage of information.
Here's an example of what a normal source error looks like:
% source /tmp/foo/bar/boo
couldn't read file "/tmp/foo/bar/boo": no such file or directory
% puts $errorInfo
couldn't read file "/tmp/foo/bar/boo": no such file or directory
while executing
"source /tmp/foo/bar/boo"
If a script generates an error directly, it's encouraged to be as clear as that, but we cannot enforce it. Sometimes you have to be a bit of a detective yourself…
