Can't run shell commands
by Daniel Clemente-2

Rate this Message:
Hi, since some days ago, my Conkeror can't run external commands. That means for instance that PDF files don't open in evince, or that M-x shell-command RET /usr/bin/beep RET doesn't beep. In the output I get each time: [xpconnect wrapped nsILocalFile]: No such file or directory I think this is caused by the upgrade to xulrunner 1.9.0.14-1 (Debian), since older revisions of Conkeror are also showing the same bug on my computer. But since the download manager has been changed recently, I wonder if it is related. conkeror-spawn-helper is in $PATH. -- Daniel _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list Conkeror@... https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror |

As far as I can see conkeror-spawn-helper doesn't depend on any Mozilla code, so I would expect that a recompilation against (more) current libraries shouldn't change anything.

This is because it isn't even run. I tried to replace both /usr/lib/conkeror/conkeror-spawn-helper and /usr/local/bin/conkeror-spawn-helper with a shell script that beeps, and «M-x shell-command RET gedit RET» doesn't beep. However, C-i on a text field correctly opens an external editor. It doesn't beep. Looking at the code: When I execute (M-x shell-command) beep, function spawn-process() at spawn-process.js gets called with program_name="bash" and args=",-c,beep" and working_dir="[xpconnect wrapped nsILocalFile]" (these are string representations). Note that already «M-x shell-command RET» produces a prompt which asks: «Shell command [[xpconnect wrapped nsILocalFile]]: ». Either it's not very friendly or something is wrong. Debian changed the default shell from bash to dash. But I tried repointing /bin/sh to /bin/bash and it happens the same. -- Daniel _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list Conkeror@... https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror |

And spawn_process_internal enters with - program=[xpconnect wrapped nsIFile] - get_file_in_path(program)=[xpconnect wrapped nsIFile] - their path refer to the conkeror-spawn-helper inside Conkeror's tree - args=/tmp/spawn_process_key-11.dat,57849 - process.run(!!blocking, args, args.length) is executed correctly and it is only after that that I get the error _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list Conkeror@... https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror |

However, C-i on > a text field correctly opens an external editor. It doesn't beep. The reason for the non-working beep thing could be because beep needs a terminal to beep while conkeror doesn't need to open the shell in a terminal IIRC. Calling xterm via M-x shell-command though doesn't work either -- neither with 1.9.0.13 nor 1.9.0.14 nor 1.9.1.3. > Looking at the code: > When I execute (M-x shell-command) beep, function spawn-process() at > spawn-process.js gets called with program_name="bash" and > args=",-c,beep" and working_dir="[xpconnect wrapped nsILocalFile]" > (these are string representations). > > Note that already «M-x shell-command RET» produces a prompt which > asks: «Shell command [[xpconnect wrapped nsILocalFile]]: ». Either > it's not very friendly or something is wrong. Especially working_dir="[xpconnect wrapped nsILocalFile]" looks very bad, yes. > Debian changed the default shell from bash to dash.

Although I do wonder why bash gets called and not sh.

The "local variables rewrite" patch of June 4 had tendrils reaching into so many parts of conkeror that I failed to test everything I should have. I just pushed another fix, so please try it and test it.

I have tested that the following works now: - M-x shell-command RET beep RET - M-x shell-command RET gedit RET - C-i in a text field - follow a link, select to open it in evince - follow a link, select to open it in beep :-) Thanks _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list Conkeror@... https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror |
