svn XML parse error after upgrade to latest.

by Bakki Kudva

Hi all, I have been using subversion on a Debian Sarge server where I commit from both TextMate on Mac and Emacs on Linux workstation. Everyting worked great and I was upto revision 13 (this sounds spooky around halloween :) and yesterday when I firedup Textmate it upgraded to 1.5.4(1311). I commtied at the end of the day to rev 13 with no errors. However when I tried svn update on my Linux ws I got svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/zstaff/!svn/vcc/default' svn: The REPORT request returned invalid XML in the response: XML parse error at line 126: Extra content at the end of the document . (/svn/zstaff/!svn/vcc/default) I am using web-dav with Apache2 on the server with digest auth. Now my repo is borked I cannot do anything with it. Posted to the subversion list and haven't gotten any answers. First of all does this have something to do with the TextMate update? That is the ONLY thing that changed. I am no subversin expert and would appreciate any help in troubleshooting and fixing this problem. Is there any way to recover the repo? Googling for it hasn't helped. I think the first line of the msg can happen to a variety of conditions. But I couldn't find anything on how to fix the problem due to XML parse error in . /svn/zstaff/!svn/vcc/default thank you very much, bakki

odd pymate output bug

by Bill Bumgarner

I have a simple testing harness written in Python. Internally, it uses the Python unittest module. When I hit cmd-r to run the testing scripting, pymate is eating the output from the test run *unless* I "print" at least a single newline prior to the TestCases' invocation. Anyone seen this before? The workaround is trivial -- add a bare 'print' statement prior to passing control to the tests. b.bum

Bundle Editor : Changed data are lost after crash?

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, if I'm writing a new command or whatever with the bundle editor and I did a mistake it could happen that TM crashes immediately after executing what I did. After reopen TM I have the problem that all changes I made within the bundle editor are gone. I realized that TM only saves all changes if I quit TM. Is this right? And if yes, is there a way to save what I did in the bundle editor explicitly? An other thing is that if change something in a command I have to click at an other command for instance in order to save my changes. Is this also correct? Maybe it would be useful to have a button within the bundle editor for saving?? Cheers, Hans

MUSHCode Bundle

by Stephen Hansen

Soo, I saw this tm_dialog thing, and it inspired me to do some fancy stuff and figure out how to actually make TextMate bundles. And since I code for MUSHes periodically, and its a royal PITA, I thought I'd fix it to be not painful anymore. If anyone's interested in it, you can grab it from http://ixokai.net/MUSHCode >From the readme I stuck in the .zip, if anyone's curious :) ..... The MUSHCode TextMate Bundle ---------------------------- 1. The Language The language specification is currently very simple, but really, MUSHCode isn't too complicated of a "language" :) Notably, it adds attribute setting commands to the symbol list as long as they are the first thing to show up on a line, and are in the format of: &(header)(separator)(footer). The header must be alphanumeric. The separator must either a period, a dash or an underscore. The footer can contain any alphanumeric or separator characters. 2. Integrated Unformatter (Command+Shift+U) This will run the selected text or the entire document through the unformatter included with the bundle and compress the MUSHcode. The following rules are used by the unformatter process: * Any lines beginning with a # are considered comments, and will be omitted from the file. * All insignificant whitespace (including newlines) will be compressed. * If a line begins with a -, a newline will be inserted into the output. This does not have to be the only character on the line, but can be. * If a line begins with a ", the line will be processed as raw text. All whitespace (including newlines) will be preserved and converted into %b substitutions, unless it is more then 5 characters in a row in which case the space() function will be used instead. The following characters will also be escaped: % [ ] ( ) { } * Comments can contain 'directives', which contain instructions or options for other parts of the Bundle. These are in the format of: # directive: value The following directives are currently in use: site -- This indicates the site that this code is for. Example: # site: yourgame.com 4201 user -- This indicates the wizard/user that will contain your code. Example: # user: Potrzebie object -- This maps a dbref to an alias. Example: # user: spelldb = #1234 At present, the above directives are only used by the Grab Text function, although other features will take advantage of them in the future. 3. Grab Text (Command+Shift+G) This is mostly a proof-of-concept more then it is a feature people will want to use, but it was fun and taught me how to do some things :) NOTE: This requires you to install Python 2.4 and PyObjC 1.7 (the only build that has Universal support) The purpose of the Grab Text function is to connect to a game, obtain an attribute (or attributes), and display it to you (to copy into your current document). When you invoke the function, it will prompt you with a dialog box that asks for the site, port, username, object and attribute. The site, port and username will be read from the directives in the current file if present, but they can be overridden. In the object field, you can specify objects you have defined in the object directives above instead of remembering the dbrefs. Next, the system will prompt your password to this account. It will only do this the first time you connect to the specified site with this username. After you provide the password for the first time, it will be stored in your Keychain and automatically obtained for any future invocations. If you ever change your password, you'll have to modify it with the Keychain Access application in the future. Once it has all the connection information it needs, it will connect to the MUSH and 'grab' the specified attributes. The 'attribute' field can contain wildcards to obtain more then one. This isn't the fastest operation in the world, depending on your internet access-- be patient! Once it has all the data, it will display it to you in a window. You can copy/paste from here and then work on the code in your document. The display window also has a 'Reformat' button that will run the MUSHcode through a -very- simple 'prettifier'-- although its not very pretty. I'm really how to best go about 'formatting' MUSHcode in a pretty way right... Ideas/implementations? :) --------- This is just the module so far. I have a lot of ideas, and sorta want to turn TextMate into a neat little MUSHCode IDE. I have a couple *really* big coding projects I maintain and.. its all a bit of a pain. So, I'm wanting to make my life easier :) Some features I am thinking of implementing: * A 'quote' or 'put text' feature to take the selected text (or the entire document), run it through the unformatter and deliver it onto the game directly. This would make use of the 'object' directives, so you can include things like: &cmd.xp/vote #VoteSystem=$cmd.+xp/vote *:... and it will automatically replace "#VoteSystem" with the specified dbrefs. * The ability to split up a large project into multiple files in a single project, and have it "install" or "quote" the entire project at once. Perhaps with a specified order; directives to make one file depend on another and thus affect ordering of the installation/quoting would be fairly easy. * At this point, the combination of Grab and Put gives me some very interesting possibilities: a 'compare' function to connect to the game and compare what is online to what is offline and show me what's missing. Perhaps with pretty HTML diffs even. Any other ideas? :)

Documentation for Package (TeXLive and TeTeX) ??

by Alain Matthes

Hello On the list OS X TEX , the tests of installation of TeXLive are increasingly numerous, and I think that in little time, TeXLive will be the only distribution available. Also I have a first question: 1) If a user installed two distributions: tetex and texlive for example, TM can it work with both? Is there a variable to indicate which distribution to him used? 2) Documentation is planned only for tetex “/usr/local/teTeX/share/ texmf.tetex/”}. It is possible to envisage the same thing for texlive ? 3) Often, the most recent packages are not in the current distributions. We install them in “~/Library/texmf/” or in “/usr/ local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/”. Is there a possibility of having access to new documentations? 4) If, I want to do all that myself, which is the good method : a) for the choice of the distribution? b) for documentation in “~/Library/texmf/”? Thanks and Greetings Alain Matthes

New version breaks LaTeX templates?

by Paul Starr

Hi. Love the app, changed my life, can't wait for multibyte character support, etc. :-) I went to create a new LaTeX document yesterday and began, as I always do, by typing "temp" and tabbing it to drop me into my template selection menu, only instead of that happening, it throws back a single, cryptic error: /tmp/temp_textmate.1K8O1q:8: undefined method The characters after "temp_textmate." are always different, for whatever that's worth. I have no idea how to approach this problem, and a quick search of the archives doesn't turn up much. Are LaTeX templates still working for other people? --p. P.

global (project-)command questions [... how to make a command to restart apache and reload a test page in the browser]

by Dirk van Oosterbosch, IR labs

Hi, the subject of this mail might not be very clear, but I'd like to make a project command (like Charilaos proposed here: http:// lists.macromates.com/pipermail/textmate/2005-October/006283.html ) that restarts apache in a complicated way (because all the easy ways do not work for me) and then loads (or reloads) a given test url in the browser (in my case that's Safari atm). I've come a long way, but still have some small questions: 1. How can a shell variable be used in a osascript oneliner? Currently I have osascript <<APPLESCRIPT tell app "Safari" to open location "$MY_TEST_URL" APPLESCRIPT which is working, beautifully. It opens the url in $MY_TEST_URL in Safari (in the background = without losing the focus in TextMate), and when this page is already opened in a window or a tab it just refreshes that window or tab. But if I try to make it into a oneliner the variable replacement fails: osascript -e 'tell app "Safari" to open location "$IR_LABSITE_TESTURL"' 2. Can a command in one bundle access the support folder of a different bundle? Or can a command from a different bundle be triggered from the current? I'd like to use the apachectlUsingKeychain.sh shell script that comes with the Apache bundle, but is there a way to access that bundle's support folder? Or do I have to copy the script to the support folder of my own bundle? 3. What does the '-ne' in 'if [[ $(ps -xp $PPID|wc -l) -ne 2 ]]; then' do? Inspired and guided by the Relaunch TextMate command in the TextMate bundle, I made the following which works: echo "$PWD" | sudo -S apachectl stop for (( i = 0; i < 50 && $(echo $(ps -ax | grep [h]ttpd | wc -l)) > 0; i++ )); do sleep .2; done echo Apache has stopped echo "$PWD" | sudo -S apachectl start for (( i = 0; i < 50 && $(echo $(ps -ax | grep [h]ttpd | wc -l)) < 4; i++ )); do sleep .2; done echo Apache has started again It works in my few tests, but I'm afraid it will fail when it is taking apache too long to stop (or too long to start), so I trying to built in a test, just like in the Relaunch TextMate command. But what does that '-ne 2' stands for? Thanks, dirk

tm_dialog: NSSearchField's recentSearches array

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, I'm using tm_dialog with a NSSearchField for my Hypersearch bundle. With NSSearchField I can provide the user with a history list of recent searches. Is there any way to bind an array to 'recentSearches' parameter? I tried it with NSArrayController but I had no success. I would be pleased for any hints!! Many thanks in advance Hans

Custom Changes

by Dave Grijalva

Is it true that if I make changes to any of my bundles, they will no longer be updated by TextMate updates? Is it possible to make a separate bundle that just encompases my changes and have them apply to another bundle? If I've missed this in the manual, can you point me at where I can find it? -dave
