Bug list for beta release 160037

Also, if you aborted an import,
I mean if you press the X button to abort a script in the middle of a long import, the subsequent import will generally fail in confusing ways.

When clicking empty trash, the trash empties but Pythonista also crashes.

iOS 9.0.2 - iPad 3

JonB

I could not reproduce this on ipad 3/ ios8

@georg.viehoever , where?if you look on the thread, you don't have an entry. So somehow, when you submitted it didn't work!

@georg-viehoever was referring to @techteej 's bug report on emptying the trash.

bug: View.touch_enabled cannot be changed.

JonB

inconsistency: View.present popover_location does not accept a ui.Point.

JonB

convert_point and convert_rect do not work properly with a None argument if the view is a sheet. not as bad as fullscreen, but there is an extra offset equal to the top left corner, as if that were being accounted for twice.

The files window ion an iPhone 6+ is not as wide as the screen. A stripe of the file screen shows on the right. I hope this is a bug. I'd rather have the full width of the screen to show longer file names.

@zencuke this is not a bug. It's more obvious on iPad, but it's a conscious UI choice.

Missing documentation. The current process for adding an icon to execute an extensions script directly doesn't seem to be documented. I think the current documentation refers to an earlier process. I looked in "Pythonista Modules/appex - Using the Pythonista Sharing Extension" doc and .extensions/_Readme.md and didn't see it in either place.

@Webmaster4o: Intentional or not I'm having difficulty understanding the value of this. The tiny view of the file on the right adds no useful functionality to the UI. It just takes away functionality from the file list window. The iPhone screen is small as it is. Squeezing it even more is a pain, especially for no benefit. It may mean something on the iPad but it looks like a bug on the iPhone. It is bad enough on the iPhone 6 plus. It must be even worse on smaller iPhones like the regular iPhone 6. The edit window gets a whole screen. The console and doc screens get to be full width but for some reason the file list has to be narrower? With no useful functionality in exchange? Makes no sense.

JonB

Not sure if this is a bug or just not well documented. in the latest beta, wait_modal seems to stop any ui.in_background from getting executed until after the view is closed.

@ccc said:

grab the name [ ... ] and navigate there in stash.

Means type the following into stash:
cd /var/mobile/Containers/Bundle/Application/C370CA19-1410-4DA3-975F-CBA563809E66/Pythonista.app/Frameworks/PythonistaKit.framework/pylib/site-packages/

I had no idea about this! Thx!

I love the the possibilities offered by obcj_util. While exploring these, I ran into an error.

I managed to end up with an ObjCInstanceMethod without method attribute, which (not surprisingly) makes Pythonista exit when called

>>> f = ObjCClass('UIDevice').currentDevice().batteryMonitoringEnabled
>>> f.encoding
'B0@0:0'
>>> f.method
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'ObjCInstanceMethod' object has no attribute 'method'
>>> f()
Bye bye

I believe this is causes by the final if statement in ObjCInstanceMethod._ _ init _ _ in objc_util, which neither assigns self.method nor raises an exception in case self.encoding is True-ish.
I guess this should be something like

if method:
	self.method = method
	if not self.encoding:
		self.encoding = method_getTypeEncoding(method)
else:
	raise AttributeError('No method found for selector "%s"' % (self.sel_name))

Alternatively, ObjCInstanceMethod._ _ call _ _ could check.

My details: iOS 9.1, iPad Air 2, Pythonista Beta 160036

@Olaf Thanks, looking into it now. The problem seems to be that batteryMonitoringEnabled is a property, and uses a custom selector name (isBatteryMonitoringEnabled).

Olaf

Yes, @omz, you're right on

...batteryMonitoringEnabled is a property, and uses a custom selector name (isBatteryMonitoringEnabled).

I found this isn't unique to battery. The same happens for property AVCaptureDevice.connected that needs translation into method isConnected. I noticed it happens to boolean properties, as e.g. AVCaptureDevice.localizedName works fine.
Hope this helps

/Users/ole/Development/xcode/Pythonista/python/Objects/tupleobject.c:54: bad argument to internal function

JonB

image_quad from arguments are incorrectly scaled. (workaround seems to be to multiply by 2, though i suspect this may depend on device)
ui editor does not save the view when switching focus to console. This leads to confusion when loading/presenting a view from the console( why the $!?& is the button action i added not getting called?). It does seem to save when switching to a different file tab. Seems like whenever console input gets focus, play is pushed, or an action run, any dirty files should be written to disk first.
