kikospiv, BradB: ping?12:32
BradByo12:44
kikoBradB, apart from twisted, what options do we have for good scalable xmlrpc servers in python?12:44
kikoBradB, or is the question really "why anything but twisted?" :)12:44
BradBi know nothing about xml rpc. maybe the standard lib one is useful, maybe Twisted's the most supported one out there though.12:44
kikoI reckon spiv knows but won't tell us.12:44
spivHello.12:52
stubkiko: The one that ships with the stanard Python library scales pretty well too (but not as well as twisted).12:52
spivI've no idea about good non-Twisted options for XML-RPC :)12:52
kikospiv, stub: so it would be twisted, zope and the PSL server?12:52
spivThose are the ones I know of, yeah.12:52
BradBZope 3 supports XML-RPC.12:52
kikoyeah, I just don't know how good it is. but thanks!12:52
BradBit's all about zope 312:52
stubkiko: I think you will find most of the other toolkits (webware, quixote, albatross etc.) support it all since it is pretty trivial to add if you can do http.12:52
stubskunkweb..12:52
kikohmmm12:52
stubAhhh... I thought it was just my working branch that had the batch problem - how did that get past pqm???12:52
stubhmm.... need to debug the test runner... all tests should be running.... :-P12:52
BradBi think my next checkin will spam root@localhost on chinstrap. oh well.12:52
stubBradB: Might be worth setting that to nobody@example.com or something so elmo doesn't beat you up ;)12:53
BradBi wouldn't have thought it'd be a good idea to spam example.com, but i could be wrong12:54
stubspiv: You want I do the db thing now, or in 14 or 15 hours?12:54
stubBradB: example.com is in the rfc's as an example domain. You are allowed to use it (unlike nowhere.com, somebody.com, somewhere.com all of which get huge amounts of unwanted mail ;) )12:55
BradByeah, i know12:56
BradBbut i wouldn't have thought delivering mail there was a good idea12:56
BradBeeeg, this mail'll add up though,12:56
stubOohh... would be fine except our errors-to is still hardcoded to nobody@example.com :-P12:57
stubelmo: ping12:57
BradBin any case, shit, got a failed test12:58

=== BradB greps
stubThat isn't actually a failing test - I suspect that is a succeeding test that happens to be triggering a warning.01:00
=== stub has been beating his head against unit tests for the last few days
BradB6 failures, 1 error, aiieee01:00
=== BradB star-merges
=== BradB was semi-beating his head against page tests today, but once this lands, malone will be indestructable
stubMake a fresh database instance too - some of the tests are still connecting to launchpad_dev, so might fail if the database has been modified too much or tests run in the wrong order.01:02
BradBi've got them ordered01:02
stubNot the page tests - all the other functional and unit tests gumph. Some very fragile bits in there - fix one and break others ;-(01:02
BradBthe test runner makes a fresh db instance automatically, i thought (e.g. if i do 'python test.py -f' i expect it to reset)01:03
BradBah01:03
stubPage tests should be fine now. Even have stories so they don't tread on each others toes :-)01:03
BradBi made a new "story" called malone01:04
stubSo we need any more work to write sane tests for event notifications? At the moment we can just interrogate canonical.launchpad.mail.stub.test_emails, which I suspect is all we need01:10
spivstub: Hmm, now is fine, but not much later or I'll be asleep :)01:13
stubspiv: ok. Just killing the server now. Will be down for 5/10 mins tops.01:16

stubspiv, lifeless: back up01:27
spivGar.01:28
stubjustdave: Morning.01:28
spivNot fixed :(01:28
spivOh well, at least I can restart it manually in this case.01:28
spivDamn.01:28
elmostub: ?01:28
spivstub: Thanks.01:29
stubspiv: We might want to wrap psycopg with something that handles this gracefully. non-twisted we can just block until the db comes back up, but I don't know the best way of handling it in twisted.01:29
stubelmo: We need an email address to send bounces of malone email notifications to, which just throws them away until we get a bounce processor. We also need an email address that just throws emails away to use as a 'from' address which may be used in the dogfood environment or testing stuff.01:31
stubbounces@canonical.com and nobody@canonical.com?01:31
spivstub: Well, Twisted's db access all runs in threads anyway, so it's blocking too.01:33
spiv(because DB-API 2.0 doesn't give you any other choice...)01:33
spivstub: The part that intrigues me is that there's already code in Twisted's adbapi module to cope with this, or so I thought, so I'd like to figure out why it's not working.01:34
stubspiv: ok. Sounds like a better option. I don't know what lifeless is doing with the importd processes. Its difficult to see if they have all reconnected due to all the 'missing FROM clause' spam in the logs :-/01:37
spivHeh.01:37
spivgrep -v is your friend ;)01:38
stubthat would be the authserver trying to join with the EmailAddress table...01:38
spivHeh.  I suppose that's a hint ;)01:39
elmostub: mm, ok01:40
stubOhh... need to check if the authserver is querying on lower(emailaddress.email) instead of emailaddress.email, since that is what the index is built on and it should be caseinsensitive anyway01:41
elmoerr, WTF01:42
elmobradb?01:42
spivI don't think it is, but I can fix that while I'm fixing the join warning.01:42
BradBelmo: sorry about the spam dude.01:42
BradBit would have been worth it if my changes actually landed though.01:42
elmoBradB: no, not that, please read your mail - I just sent you something01:43
BradBelmo: odds are about 99% that it's operator error (or operator-not-understanding), but i'll double-check now, just to be sure.01:45
elmoI would have written it off, but the guys a DD01:45
elmostill very happy for it to be anything but what he claims...01:45
BradBit'd be nice if he gave his username01:50
BradBanyway, i just signed up as a new user and i don't have mgr rights. the site just permits normal members to do quite a bit, which is why i created the "locked" state for lu, so that she could added pages to the site that were published, and yet not modifiable by non-managers (because just about everything else is)01:53

=== BradB is now known as BradB|away
spivstub: I'll update the authserver with that tomorrow, when I'm actually awake :)02:10
stubyup. its not urgent.02:10
stubspiv: Something is leaking bad names too (which will now generate an SQL error instead of polluting the db). I don't know if this is the authserver or not - possibly it is the code that generates a username from an email address? We can confirm a valid name using canonical/validators/name.py (which is now being used despite the warnings in the comments)02:14
spivHmm.  You mean creating bad Person.names?02:15
stubYup02:15
stubWhich I don't think anything is using yet, apart from traversal stuff, so I suspect the 'generate name from email address' code wherever that lives now.02:16
spivHave there been recent changes to the nickname generation code?  The authserver might have an old version.02:16
spiv(The deployed authserver, I mean)02:16
spivThe authserver uses canonical.foaf.nickname to generate names from email addresses.02:17
stubThere have been no updates as far as I'm aware - if that is the problem it has always been there. The name constraints did not exist when it was implemented, so I suspect it was just designed to be a bit more flexible than the database allows.02:18
spivAh.02:18

BradBstub: I would have thought it's because tearDown doesn't disconnect properly.04:50
stubThe tear down is probably failing (I think it does it silently - had that fixed in a branch), because there are other connections open so it can't drop the db.04:51
BradBThis is the only process talking to the db, and, of course, the first story gets setup fine it appears; it's only the second one that causes the (horribly-named) ProgrammingError.04:52
=== Kinnison decides that he needs a brain-break
=== Kinnison goes to dismantle and bathe his new keyboard
stubI think it is because the z3 functional test stuff doesn't really tear everything down that it should, so database connections are not being dropped. Not quite sure. Hmm..04:53
=== BradB looks into it
stubBradB: Yer - tearDown silently fails. You want me to fix it in canonical/ftests/pgsql.py ?04:56
BradBI think it's in PgTestCase04:58
BradBit does: con = psycopg.connect('dbname=%s' % self.template)04:58
BradBinstead of using self.connect, which keeps track of connections in self._cons.04:59
stubyes, but it is explicitly closing the connection at the end (I hope)04:59
BradBI'll fix it, because it's what I'm working on anyway (i.e. being able to land my Malone forcefield.)04:59
BradBstub: It closes down all the self._cons in tearDown :)05:00
BradBwhich i expect is empty, due to the reason above.05:00
stubok. Just need to detect if an exception is raised during the last attempt and not to suppress it.05:00
stubBradB: Check the finally clause - it is explicitly being closed. No need to keep it around and close it laster.05:01
BradBstub: that's if an error occurrs during setup though.05:02
BradBI want an error to *not* *occurr* during setup. :)05:02

BradB(Pdb) self._cons05:03
BradB[] 05:03
BradBself._cons should contain the connections to close, but it's empty, because setUp isn't calling self.connect (but instead calling psycopg directly, and thus not tracking open cons in self._cons.)05:04
stubyes, but there is no need to store it in self._cons because setUp is closing it already.05:04
BradBstub: only if an error occurred.05:05
stubThe finally: clause will always be called, no matter what happens.05:05
BradBer, yeah, wait05:05
BradBi guess self._cons is a dead chicken then05:06
stubThe issue I am aware of that needs to be fixed in the trunk is if an exception is raised in the 100th attempt at creating or dropping the database, it silently fails. Needs an 'if i == 99: raise' added.05:07
stubred herring :)05:07
BradBhow does a functional test connect to the db?05:09
stubI want to get all the connections spawned from the Z3 machinery in self._cons, which works, but causes other problems. Wasted way too much time on that :-(05:09
stubstandard Z3 mechanisms - zapi.getUtility(IZopeDatabaseAdapter, 'launchpad'), sqlos magic to set _connection attributes on the SQLOS classes.05:10
stubSome of them seem to be using initZopeless too, which might cause issues.05:10

BradBthat's what locked prevents. you can't "retract" locked pages.05:19
BradBlulu: correct, and then you can edit it.05:19
lulubut in visible state - you still can't edit.05:19
luluit a bug :o)05:19
BradBoh, you were referring to a published doc above, but if you can't edit visible then yeah, that's a problem05:19
BradBwhich "visible" doc can't you edit?05:19
luluyup! that's what I'm saying :o)05:20
luluany published to visible state docs05:20
luluDocumentation area is fine - the Plone Help Centre workflow.05:20
lulusomething must've changed in the Ubuntu workflow.05:21
BradBi can't see anything wrong so far, do you have a link/05:21
BradBthe page you're looking at would be fine, if it isn't working the way you expect.05:22
luluhttps://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/local05:22
BradBwhat's not working there? :)05:23
luluwhen you retract it, it goes to visible, but doesn't allow u to edit it, and it should05:23
luluyou are logged in as a member, not a manager right?05:23
BradBas a member yep...just verifying something quickly05:24
lulutab options are contents, view and sharing.05:24
lulumissing the vital edit tab! :o)05:24
BradBhm, that's mildly frightening, particularly since it's been ages since i touched that workflow05:26
=== BradB checks the security settings
BradBoh, well, either this wasn't tested thoroughly enough, or somebody changed ubuntu_workflow recently, because it's indeed config'd here to not allow normal members to edit on visible05:31
BradBlulu: has anyone done anything whatsoever to ubuntu_workflow at all in the last few weeks?05:31
luluBradB: not as far as I know, but we have had plone work done on cacheing - I can get hold of Vika and see if she changed anything. Shouldn't have.05:32
luluBradB: we did test that exact option thoroughly when we made the change.05:33
BradBthat's what i thought; i'm confused as to why i'm seeing here that it's explicitly turned off.05:33
=== BradB turns it back on
lulummmm - ok - I'll ask Vika05:34

BradBno prob ;)05:38
BradBstub: do you have a quick idea for how to not-raise that ProgrammingError?05:38
BradBstub: It seems to me that setUp isn't smart enough to close all connections opened by instances of classes that derive from it, but it probably should be that smart.05:41
spivHmm.  https://launchpad.ubuntu.com/malone/bugs/+new doesn't seem to sort the source package drop-down box?05:42
BradBspiv: Perhaps not. File the bug! :P05:42
spivOk :)05:42
BradBIn Malone, of course. ;) thanks.05:42
spivOf course ):05:42

BradBheh05:42
spivHmm.  I'm a little confused/overwhelmed by the Title/Summary/Description fields in Malone.05:44
BradBspiv: They're too much, I know.05:44
spivIt seems to be asking me to enter the same information three times :)05:44
stubBradB: It seems to be the connections created by the Z3 machinery that are the issue. In a branch I was working on, I'd actually overridden psycopg.connect to keep track of all connections being created so I could tear them down. 05:44
BradBIt sound just be title and desc, of course, but Mark seemed to like all three. I don't know how long that'll last :)05:44

BradBspiv: It probably be worth reporting a bug on the title/summary/desc thing too, IMHO.05:46
spivWhee! Ok.05:46
spivHmm.  Apparently I'm the "owner" of that bug I just submitted.05:47
BradByeah, you would be. I just fixed the code to make it that way.05:48
BradBThere are screens which then allow you to look at all the bugs you reported.05:48
stubspiv: owner != assignee05:48
spivstub: Sure.  But what is it? :)05:50
BradBspiv: the owner created the bug. the assignee will fix it.05:50
spivAnd why is it worth advertising on the summary page.05:51
BradBheh05:51
spivWhy not call the a "creator" or "submitter" then?05:51
BradBsubmitter would be the best name, perhaps.05:51
spivIf I "own" something, particularly so publically (i.e. on the main summary), I feel like I'm apparently responsible to do something for it.05:52
spivWhen in my ideal world I submit a bug and forget about it ;)05:52
BradBhehe05:52
stubThe column in the database is 'owner', since that has a meaning similar to all the other owner columns. Should probably be displayed as something a little more user friendly ;)05:53
BradBthe things you own end up owning you!05:53
spivstub: Agreed!  Shall I file another bug? :)05:53
=== spiv does
BradBstub: By the way, I guess the reason why checkins are being allowed to happen in spite of this ProgrammingError, is because *I'm* the one who rebelliously created a new "story".05:54
BradBAnd it's only by having more than one story that this bug becomes apparent.05:54
stubBradB: You happy playing with the test suite? I'm off to bed. If you want, mirror your branch to chinstrap and I can play with it tomorrow.05:54
stubBradB: Yup.05:54
stubActually - nope.05:55
BradBstub: I might as well do so. I need to grok, fix, and land.05:55
BradBstub: !?05:55
stubI get the same problem with a single story05:55
BradBeeek05:55
stubWhich is stoopid, because the tests should be passing or else the checkins fail.05:55
BradBand they do....05:55
BradBi just got a failure email yesterday from test failures05:55
BradBwhich is why i couldn't land the malone forcefield05:56

KinnisonCan I put a vote in for not naming views VFoo06:19
Kinnisonplease?06:19
spivddaa: A recent beauty: http://thedailywtf.com/archive/2004/10/25/2882.aspx06:19
kikoKinnison, sure, as long as you have a rationale and a suggestion.06:19
Kinnisonkiko: rationale: Polish notation sucks; it's clear from usage what is a view and what isn't. Suggestion: Call it Foo instead06:20
Kinnisons/Polish/Hungarian/06:20
kikoKinnison, no, it's not clear from the usage.06:20
spivKinnison: I'm not sure about "it's clear from usage what is a view and what isn't."06:20
KinnisonI am tired :-)06:20
kikoit's *not* at all.06:20
spivThe point of views is that they're used the same.06:20
kikoit's actually *very* easy to confuse with a real table given SQLObject's transparency06:20
=== Kinnison hands you the docstring :-)
spivThat might be an argument in favour of naming them the same, though :)06:21
kikolook06:21
KinnisonGiven the FooTable -> IFooTable mapping for the interface, are you doing VFoo -> IVFoo? 06:21
kikothe only place the view name appears is in the _table attribute of the SQLObject class06:21
kikoit's a little hint06:21
kikothere is no IVFoo06:22
kikono Python code deals with VFoo06:22
KinnisonYou don't need to give sqlobject an _table attribute if you name your view sensibly :-)06:22
spivThere's two different issues here... the name in SQL and the name in Python.06:22
kikoright.06:22
Kinnisonat the sql level they're a view and \d foo can tell you this06:22
ddaaapparently, sql best practise is to use stupidlylongwindedandabusivelyverbosenames06:23
Kinnisonddaa: Yep :-)06:23
spivI don't feel strongly either way, but I'm leaning slightly towards kiko's position.06:23
Kinnisonddaa: PublishedSourcePackageRelease.sourcepackagerelease.sourcepackage.sourcepackagename.name06:23
kikobut at the SQLObject level there is no indication06:23
=== ddaa sighs
kikoand a view is *not* a table, so it would be nice to have that clearly indicated in the SQLObject class06:24
KinnisonIf you remove the indication once you've wrapped it in what programmers deal with from day-to-day; then there's no gain whatsoever in putting it into the database06:24
kikohuh?06:24
kikoanyway06:24
kikomy suggestion is06:24
KinnisonIf you call it 'Foo' in python, then there's no more gain in calling it 'VFoo' in psql than calling it 'Foo' and putting a comment in the class06:24
spivMaybe there should be some SQLObject support.  After all, UDPATE doesn't work on views, so SQLObject ideally would disallow assignments to columns on views.06:24
kikoanyway06:25
kikoI don't want to be arguing about a single letter for a week06:25
KinnisonI'm just putting my $0.02 in. Hungarian notation scares and irritates me :-)06:25
kikoI think it's a nice way to indicate this in a simple way06:25
ddaaspiv: that wtf is just a public display of what insane lengths VB programmers must go to do stupidly simple things.06:25
spivSo let's call it FooView, so we're at least arguing about *four* letters ;)06:25
spivddaa: Um, no :)06:26
kikowe cam06:26
spivddaa: VB has a Round builtin :)06:26
kikowe can't, spiv, because we already have FooView in our codebase.06:26
spivAh, good point.06:26
kikoanyway06:26
kikoas I was saying06:26
=== Kinnison shrugs. it's your code at the end of the day
=== Kinnison goes back to poking gina with very very thin very very hot wires
kikoI don't want to argue over a single letter; my suggestion is let it go in and if we decide it is horrible horrible oh my god, a V! then we can remove it. it's two lines.06:27

ddaaAnyone knows a terminal emulator that's not a painstaking cpu hog, but has tabs and 11:08
ddaashiny antialiased fonts?11:08
salgadoddaa: have you tried konsole?11:11
ddaasalgado: used to work with kde, before I switched to ubuntu, back in July...11:12
ddaaI was very much annoyed at konsole too, though I do not remember why.11:12
ddaaBut the general feeling was that gnome-terminal actually was an improvement.11:13
salgadoback in the 2.4 days, it was almost impossible to use the mouse scroll in vim. now it's possible but uses a lot of cpu11:14
salgadoI say, in gnome-terminal11:15
ddaaWell, I think I'm going to stick with xterm for the few things that need fast scrolling, and gnome-terminal for everything else.11:16
kikognome-terminal takes years to start up :-(11:16
salgadokiko: but you only need one or two instances of it. each with multiple tabs (wich starts very fast)11:17
kikowell, you are an ion user..11:18
kikobut the multiple tabs, gah, I dunno11:18
ddaasalgado: actually you need only one instance of it.11:18

lifelessddaa: I only use one.11:25
lifelesswhich disproves that theory immediately.11:26
lifelesswhat I meant was, if you use screen, then when (not if) gnome-terminal crashes, you don't lose anything.11:26
ddaalifeless: regarding the taxi weirdness, do you think it would be better keep the current database data for later diagnostic, or would it be better to clean everything and start from a known-sane situation?11:26
ddaaha...11:26
ddaaGood point.11:26
spivWell, I've only ever had it crash twice, both the same way, and seb's just reproduced it in a debug build, so I expect upstream will fix it.11:27
lifelesserm if the logs don't tell you what went on, you won't have much lug diagnosing.11:27
=== ddaa never had ubuntu's gnome-terminal crash on him. Could not say the same of Konsole.
spivBut yeah, I do use screen for some stuff, which makes the crash a little less painful :)11:27
