Doesn't work because of double slashes in URLs

[Martin Scharrer]

I installed it under Trac 0.11.2 and it seems not to work properly, at least not with Firefox 3.0.3 under Ubuntu Hardy.

The flash itself is starting but the Freemind viewer isn't loading. I checked the resulting source code (after the Javascript does it's work) with the Firebug plugin for Firefox and I found that all links start with a double slash '//', i.e. the SWF is linked to //chrome/freemind/swf/visorFreemind.swf, but also all other URLs like the one for the actual Freemind file, the CSS file, etc.

After removing the second slash with the Firebug edit function the visorFreemind is finally loading, but without loading the mindmap (which seems to be an other issue).

[Martin Scharrer]

Just to clarify:

After removing the second slash with the Firebug edit function the visorFreemind is finally loading, but without loading the mindmap (which seems to be an other issue).

I had a typo in the mindmap filename. With the correct filename the mindmap is loading after the double slashes are removed using Firebug edit.

Can you please svn up and give me debug ouput for your setup. Just add the parameter debug to your macro string like so:

[[Freemind(htdocs://site/filename.mm,debug)]]

Cut and paste me the output.

[Louis Cordier]

I just tested it on my (Ubunutu Hardy, Firefox 3.0.1) with Firebug 1.2.1 and [4523] and everything seems fine to me.

[Martin Scharrer]

I will test it as soon I find time.

One reason for this issue could be that you ask for two slashes in the URL, e.g.

attachment://.../filename.mm,

but the actual TracLinks syntax is without the slashes:

attachment:../filename.mm.

Only sources links can have one leading slash, e.g.

source:/trunk/../filename.mm.

Also in source:freemindmacro/0.11/freemind/macro.py​ you use double slashes htdocs://freemind/css/flashfreemind.css, just try it with htdocs:freemind/css/flashfreemind.css, etc.

[Louis Cordier]

My code didn't use TracLinks, instead it used proper URLs with different schemes:

htdocs://
source://
ticket://
wiki://

TracLinks htdocs: references the site's htdocs, I am not sure if it will properly reference the plugin's htdocs. Anyway I have now added [4544] TracLinks as to your request #3938. Hope this helps.

By the way, I would very much appreciate if you can give me some debug output. Just add the parameter 'debug' to your call.

Hi,

I have the same problem using trac 0.11.2:

Using the following macros:

[[Freemind(source://workbase/mindmaps/misc_map.mm)]]

[[Freemind(htdocs://site/misc_map.mm)]]

[[Freemind(source://workbase/mindmaps/misc_map.mm,debug)]]

[[Freemind(htdocs://site/misc_map.mm,debug)]]

The one from svn does not work, whereas the htdocs work.

I have set the freemind mime-type property on svn.

I removed most of the useful stuff from the debug info when I "fixed" this problem previously ;) Please check out the latest code and give me the debug output again. It should show me the generated URL to the file in source.

Ok,

The first debug with source:// prefix also does not work for freemind version source:/freemindmacro/0.11/@4890​

[[Freemind(source://workbase/mindmaps/misc_map.mm,debug)]]

Output:

with

[[Freemind(htdocs://site/misc_map.mm,debug)]]

works and gives this:

I forgot to ask could you also actually give me the full path to the mm file in your SVN via trac. Use the 'Browse Source' button in trac navigation, browse to your file, view it, then copy & paste the 'Original Format' link (at the bottom of the page).

Do you use a single/multiple project(s) trac installation?

[renzo]

The Trac Browser URL is:

https://myhost.org/x/trac/export/13/workbase/mindmaps/misc_map.mm

so the 13 is the actual revision number which makes the difference to the URL you are constructing...

And it is a single project installation.

Tnx for your efforts.

I have several people who would use the freemind macro, if it also can do it from versioned mindmaps.

[Louis Cordier]

If you removed the 13 from the URL is should access the HEAD revision. But if you deliberately want to access a specific version, you can as listed in the ​examples. Try:

[[Freemind(source://13/workbase/mindmaps/misc_map.mm)]]

That should access revision 13 of the file. My problem is why it is not is not working with the HEAD revision. First try that for now, then I can maybe later update the debug output to include more information.

Regards, Louis.

intersting for me was, that using source://path/to/file.mm did not work, but using a revison number worked. I also tried using HEAD instead of a number and it worked, too. At least this is a workaround.

My configuration:

Windows+Apache-2.2.9+SVN1.5.5+Python-2.5+TRAC-0.11.2.1

Yes! That works for me too. Thx.

It is also documented here. Still it would be better, if no specific source revision is specified, it would take the head revision automagically. Now, that there is a reasonable workaround we can decrease the Severity...

• return + '/'.join(parts)

+ return '/' + '/'.join(parts) seems to work for me.

The added line is already in the code. Did you do the diff the right way around? I think if I remove the first '/' it will not be an absolute URL anymore and break the code for other users.

Ooops formatting. Do you mean to remove the first '/'. That will most likely break it for other users.

If formatter.href.base is an empty string, the url will also have double slashes. The following will fix it:
