WebDialog encoding bug found!

driven

... Further, it believes this string and the one from get_element_value (that prints as Ãlan) are equal. This makes no sense to me...

I create this confusion... I don't check for equality it's a 'puts', it should be

    @dlg2.execute_script("translation3.textContent='#{param_val}' + ' == ' + '#{elm_val}' + ' is ' + '#{param_val == elm_val}'")

which returns
√©lan == élan is false

sorry I'll get my coat...

Sorry, I didn't update my profile.
In Windows SketchUp 2013 p(params) returns
"lid1,élan"
so works fine. (I think in SU8 also)
Problem is in Windows SU2014 that returns non utf string.

I suspected that...

which locale do you use Sketchup.get_locale en-US?, it may have a bearing?

john

Juantxo

Yes, en-Us.

Nah, I should know enough to check your code . With a real test, equality fails in all cases (as it should!).

it's the tangents that count...

now you can write a proper test...

The text that displays in your test, says UFT-8 in many places. It is UTF-8.
(The word format is at the end, of Unicode Transformation Format.)

But in 2014, the original 5-byte UTF-8 string is somehow transmuted into the 8-byte string \xE2\x88\x9A\xC2\xA9lan. ... It's as if the callback processing code has an incorrect implementation of the transcoding.

YES, agree.

To me it looks like it IS UTF-8, but Ruby thinks it is some other encoding, and doubly transcodes* it into UTF-8 AGAIN.

P.S. - isn't transmute a math term ?

except, get_element_value fails pre v2013 and get_element_value works.

? It does? Are you sure?

That's a similar problem we have with FILE $LOAD_PATH, $LOADED_FEATURES and ENV. UTF-8 byte sequences isn't labeled with the correct encoding.

a CLUE perhaps...

Using js codepoints for my input, 'get_element_value' has switched all the separators...

return using add_action_callback "lid1,/uD83D/uDC7D/u20AC/u00A3/u0061/u0009"
return using get_element_value => \uD83D\uDC7D\u20AC\u00A3\u0061\u0009

so I modified my code

  @dlg2.add_action_callback("trans_L8") {|dialog, params|

    param_id = params.split(',')[0].to_s
    param_val = params.split(',')[1].to_s
    param_val_sub = params.split(',')[1].gsub('/','\\').to_s
p param_val_sub
    callback = 'return using add_action_callback ' # + param_id.to_s + ' = ' + param_val.to_s # commented out to avoid the error
    puts callback
    p(params)

    elm_val = (@dlg2.get_element_value(param_id)).to_s
    element_value = 'return using get_element_value => ' + elm_val
    puts element_value

    @dlg2.execute_script("translation1.textContent='#{elm_val}'")

    @dlg2.execute_script("translation2.textContent='#{param_val}'")

    @dlg2.execute_script("translation3.textContent='#{param_val_sub}'")
}

and this is the result
using js codepoints

So it seems there are in-fact two issues...

1: return having separators reversed

2: encoding being mis-read

I added the .gsub('/','\\') to both types of return, so it works on v8 or v13/v14

I added js to convert the string to UNICODE on keydown, before it retrieved by SU...

and the full workaround... v8 fixed get_element_value and encoding v14 fixed action_callback and encoding

# encoding; UTF-8

  @lang_hash = {'lid1'=> %Q(élan  ümlet)}  # I'm using a hash because it's what I use in my plugin...

BIG question is will this work on other PC's, or would I need a platform conditional?

In review,
I think the http header has the incorrect encoding and as SU is the server it must come from there...
The internal 'separator' variations is still a mystery...

Get the default system Encoding:
Encoding::find("filesystem")
or
Encoding::find("locale")

(On my machine it returns the #<Encoding:Windows-1252> object reference.)

If you want the Windows version:
%x[ver]

On my machine it returns: "Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]"
XP is 5.1
Vista is 6.0
Win7 is 6.1

What else do you want to know ?

does my last script run on your PC?

a more complex input...

  @lang_hash = {'lid1'=> %Q(élan 勢い Schwung импульс)}  # I'm using a hash because it's what I use in my plugin...

and the widows versioning...

    <p>Tested on #{RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /(darwin)/ ? ((%x(sw_vers).sub(/ProductName;/,'').sub(/ProductVersion;/,'').sub(/BuildVersion;/,'_'))) ; %x[ver]}</p>

also, did you try it without the fix? did you get both returns on v2014?

john

Dan Rathbun

I had not actually run the code at all, before.
Here goes:

@driven said:

..., did you try it without the fix? did you get both returns on v2014?

On SU2014, without the fix:

load "test/WebDialog_param_encoding_bug.rb" %(#004000)[true return using add_action_callback lid1 = élan return using get_element_value => élan]

After hitting return the elements are NOT replaced in the WebDialog because %(#8000BF)[element.textContent=] does not work on MSIE.
You need a platform code branch and use %(#8000BF)[element.innerText=] on PC.

On SU2014, WITH the fix, AFTER hitting return:

load "test/WebDialog_param_encoding_fix.rb" %(#004000)[true return using add_action_callback "lid1,\\u00E9lan \\uF8FF \\u00FCmlet" return using get_element_value => \u00E9lan \uF8FF \u00FCmlet]

First setting:
Encoding::default_internal="UTF-8" %(#404000)[UTF-8]
.. has not effect (no difference.)

Dan Rathbun

With the two changes on SU2014.

Before hitting ENTER:

.. but when I click in the text control, and hit the END key, the ruby console shows:
%(#004000)[return using add_action_callback "lid1,\xC3\xA9lan \xE5\x8B\xA2\xE3\x81\x84 Schwung \xD0\xB8\xD0\xBC\xD0\xBF\xD1\x83\xD0\xBB\xD1\x8C\xD1\x81" return using get_element_value => élan 勢い Schwung импульс]

After hitting ENTER:

.. and then the Ruby console shows:
%(#004000)[return using add_action_callback "lid1,\\u00E9lan \\u52E2\\u3044 Schwung \\u0438\\u043C\\u043F\\u0443\\u043B\\u044C\\u0441" return using get_element_value => \u00E9lan \u52E2\u3044 Schwung \u0438\u043C\u043F\u0443\u043B\u044C\u0441]

thanks dan

innerText works on mac, so I'll just change that...

can you run with the tweak...
and see if they show in the dialog...

the extra // in your console return confuses me. I had to add more to escape ruby escaping javascript...

john

Dan Rathbun

OK, that latest tweek, after hitting enter:

And the console, after hitting enter:
%(#004000)[load "test/show_encoding_issue.rb" true return using add_action_callback "lid1,\\u00E9lan \\u52E2\\u3044 Schwung \\u0438\\u043C\\u043F\\u0443\\u043B\\u044C\\u0441" return using get_element_value => \u00E9lan \u52E2\u3044 Schwung \u0438\u043C\u043F\u0443\u043B\u044C\u0441]

BTW.. if the WebDialog has focus after hitting ENTER, and I need to use the ALT key (for ALT+PrintScreen to copy the active window image to the clipboard, so I can save it from Paint.NET,) there is a whole bunch of repeated console output, like 15 times while I held the ALT key down.
