10:02:36 <chris> perhaps I can help by designing a null-stylesheet.scm, copying defaults from plain-stylesheet.scm and presenting NO options. then someone else will remove the UI associated, and the default stylesheet selector in options.
10:03:19 *** fekepp has quit IRC
10:04:22 <chris> (also will remove default 'attributes and design from CSS instead)

13:45:22 <jralls> gjanssens: I'm looking at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796484. The problem is that his file has LF line endings. If I change them to CRLF it doesn't throw.

13:58:35 <gjanssens> jralls: that's ugly :( So boost::tokenizer is sensitive to line endings...
13:59:41 *** fabior has quit IRC
13:59:46 <jralls> Is that from boost::tokenizer? The exception looks like it's from iostreams.
13:59:50 <gjanssens> Or at least our file parser is. Don't know if it's really in the tokenizing step
14:00:20 <gjanssens> Crossed your reply...
14:00:34 <gjanssens> Do you have a stack trace of the throw ?
14:00:45 <gjanssens> To know exactly which line throws
14:01:26 <gjanssens> If not, I can run it myself...
14:01:27 <jralls> Not yet, but I can make one. I was headed towards setting up a bundle with symbols.
14:01:51 <jralls> But I have an open debug session, give me a moment...
14:02:00 <gjanssens> Ok.
14:02:32 <gjanssens> Didn't we change the defaults on Windows to build with debug symbols for the gnucash-git module ?
14:07:15 <jralls> Dammit, gdb won't intercept the frigging throw.
14:09:11 <jralls> Don't remember, but that's not what I have installed in Program Files (x86) atm. Gdb works much better in Powershell, but that means that it only works on the installed GC. Hmm... Maybe...
14:11:20 <gjanssens> Yeah, and obviously it works fine on linux, so it really has to be debugged on Windows
14:11:51 <gjanssens> Unfortunately I don't have my Windows box available for some time to come.
14:12:54 <gjanssens> It has been retrofitted to temporarily serve as freepbx server as our old pbx died two weeks back (trixbox based)
14:13:22 <gjanssens> While I'm waiting for new hardware to arrive it won't be available for gnucash dev work
14:13:50 <jralls> Bummer. Isn't your regular dev box hefty enough to run VMs?
14:16:46 *** hoijui has quit IRC
14:17:41 <gjanssens> It probably is, but I'm used having my vm's on a server so I never took time to set my dev box up for VMs
14:18:04 <gjanssens> The SSD may be a little tight to add them.
14:19:01 <gjanssens> And for Gnucash on Win I salvaged a PC with a real Win7 Pro licence. Saved me from buying a licence for the VM
14:19:31 <jralls> ;-)
14:21:54 * gjanssens has had several hardware issues in a row :(
14:22:16 <gjanssens> I spent the better part of yesterday and today recovering from a failing pfSense firewall
14:22:38 <gjanssens> The hardware seems to have died.
14:22:46 <jralls> That's a pain. Is the hardware getting old?
14:22:51 <gjanssens> Luckily I have backed up the configuration.
14:23:00 <jralls> In general, that is, not just the firewall.
14:23:06 <gjanssens> No IMO this was premature. It was barely two years old
14:23:44 <gjanssens> The PBX on the other hand was due for replacement: that server had run for 15 years!
14:24:12 <gjanssens> Unfortunately it went a few weeks too soon. I was in the process of looking for new hardware :(
14:24:19 *** ncv_ has joined #gnucash
14:25:23 <gjanssens> And I think my main server is up next to be replaced as well, but that's less urgent.
14:25:31 *** ncv has quit IRC
14:25:52 <jralls> At least you hope it is. :-/
14:26:07 <gjanssens> :D
14:26:40 <gjanssens> Yeah, it's been going for 10 years now. But most harddrives have been replaced several times already and I have good backups.
14:27:29 <gjanssens> I plan this for the end of the summer.
14:27:37 <jralls> OK, I got gdb to do my bidding, just needed to set some enviroment variables.
14:27:54 <gjanssens> Good
14:28:59 <jralls> The exception is in the third try to run GncTokenizer::load_file, at line 49, ```in.open(m_imp_file_str.c_str(), std::ios::in | std::ios::binary);```
14:32:28 *** harshitaneja has joined #gnucash
14:33:28 <gjanssens> Hmm, no idea
14:33:40 <gjanssens> Let's figure out what the error means exactly
14:34:01 <warlord> Third try's the charm?
14:36:38 <jralls> warlord: Turns out the first two are calls with an empty path string so they just return.
14:37:34 <warlord> Ah. Lol. Okay.
14:37:41 <warlord> And third has a non-empty path?
14:39:27 <jralls> Yes, though asking to see it in the debugger produces garbage.
14:39:48 <gjanssens> Perhaps we shouldn't try to read in binary mode ?
14:41:23 <jralls> I'd think that would be safer.
14:41:42 <jralls> It should turn off text interpretation, right?
14:42:05 <gjanssens> That's how I understand it.
14:42:30 <gjanssens> Though the interpretation is mostly to do with line endings, exactly the bit that's biting us now
14:42:33 *** User__ has joined #gnucash
14:44:26 <warlord> Reading as binary is going to not translate.. REading as text will allow "getline()" to work.
14:44:33 <warlord> (or readline() -- or whatever it is)
14:45:35 <jralls> warlord: This is C++ iostreams. std::ios::binary turns off interpretation of LF/CRLF in the file.
14:45:52 <warlord> jralls: right,isn't that what I said?
14:45:56 <gjanssens> Well, the code is reading the full csv file in memory in one go
14:46:25 <gjanssens> Using a "read"
14:46:39 <gjanssens> However the failure happens when *opening* the file which I find odd
14:46:49 <gjanssens> In binary mode that is
14:46:54 <jralls> Right.
14:47:44 *** shymega has left #gnucash
14:48:46 *** User__ has quit IRC
14:50:05 <jralls> Oh, snap, I think maybe it's not the line endings but the file name. Hang on...
14:50:35 <gjanssens> That would be more in line with previous issues we had to fix...
14:52:50 <jralls> Yup. The filename is CSVfürGNU.csv. If I change that to CSVFuerGNU.csv it works.
14:53:16 <warlord> Oooh, Filename encoding issue...
14:54:09 <gjanssens> Yay :-(
14:55:17 <jralls> No, I think Yay :-). It's an easy fix and an easy workaround in the meantime.
14:56:00 <jralls> But it also suggests a need to look at every place where we get a string from Windows. That will be a bit of work.

15:01:30 *** Sebastian has joined #gnucash
15:03:27 *** Sebastian has quit IRC
15:04:20 *** Sebastian has joined #gnucash
15:07:14 <gjanssens> Yeah that part was what I meant with :-(
15:08:18 <gjanssens> Could we centralize this somehow such that there's only one place in the source we have to deal with encoding conversions ?
15:08:29 <gjanssens> Just dreaming...
15:08:49 *** Sebastian has quit IRC
15:09:25 *** Sebastian has joined #gnucash
15:10:15 <jralls> Two, I think: anything involving file paths and anything involving environment variables.
15:11:48 <jralls> We should probably have a single gnome_utils/gnc_filechooser rather than directly calling GtkFileChooser from every place we use one.
15:12:49 <gjanssens> Ok, reasonable
15:13:16 <jralls> Environment variables are probably a non-problem, I think in general we load them from etc/gnucash/environment rather than asking Windows for them.
15:15:23 <gjanssens> Not exactly. The mechanism is we *set* Windows environment variables as defined in etc/gnucash/environment
15:15:38 <gjanssens> Other parts of gnucash will the read the environment is it sees fit
15:16:01 <gjanssens> But users can equally set global environment variables in Windows to the same effect.
15:16:12 <gjanssens> So there may be enconding issues there as well
15:17:20 <jralls> OK. I think as long as we always use g_getenv() and g_setenv() GLib will take care of us, but we should test that to make sure.
15:17:35 <gjanssens> True
15:20:26 <jralls> Heh, we've already got the common filechooser: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/maint/gnucash/gnome-utils/dialog-file-access.c.
15:24:20 *** redarrow has quit IRC
15:24:28 <gjanssens> Right. The csv importer is kind of an odd case in that it embeds the file chooser in the assistant. I'm not sure what the HIG says about the proper way to combine an assistant with a file chooser...
15:25:01 <gjanssens> Whether the assistant should pop up the file chooser or whether embedding is better.
15:26:00 *** hoijui has joined #gnucash
15:27:35 <warlord> I always thought it was another popup -- because the user *could* theoretically type in the file name directly.
15:31:53 <jralls> Not in the CSV assistant.
