External Processing: "path's format is not supported"

Status Fixed in the next release
Description When attempting to use "External Program Processing" an exception is thrown by StreamWriter ctor. Note in the debugger callstack below that ProcessArticle() hands an absolute path to WriteTextFile(), which then prepends AWB's working directory to create a bad file path.
  • WikiFunctions.dll!WikiFunctions.Tools.WriteTextFileAbsolutePath(string message, string file = "D:\\src\\awb\\AWB\\AWB\\bin\\Release\\C:\\Windows\\TestArticle.txt", bool append = false) Line 1173 C#
  • WikiFunctions.dll!WikiFunctions.Tools.WriteTextFile(string message, string file = "C:\\Windows\\TestArticle.txt", bool append = false) Line 1200 C#

To duplicate: # Open "External Program Processing" dialog (Ctrl-E) and enable it.
  1. Click "Select program/script" and choose notepad.exe (e.g., C:\Windows\notepad.exe). Note that it sets the "Working directory:" field as well.
  2. Give an Input/Output file name. I chose "TestArticle.txt".
  3. Close the dialog box and attempt to run AWB on an article (e.g., Wikipedia:Sandbox).
  4. Message box appears, title: "External processing error", text: "The given path's format is not supported." (Expected result: Notepad would open.)

.NET FW Version Unknown
AWB version 4.9.0.3, svn co revision 5652 (Nov 20 c. 01:00 UTC)
Workaround You can get the desired behavior in this case by emptying the working directory field in the external processing dialog and using the X button to exit the dialog (which is a minor bug, the Close button objects to an empty working directory). The input/output file will then appear in AWB's working directory.

I still investigate problem. But, you can be right - system reboot or AWB restart can help sometimes.

Status Fixed in the next release
Description Using AWB, I attempted to replace one category with another. I ended the edit summary with a piped link to the CfD log page and with "CfD 2009 Nov 6" as the intended visible text; the actual outcome preserved the link to the CfD log page, but displayed "AWB" as the visible text.
To duplicate: In AWB, I specified the following edit summary:

replaced category 'Actual event ballads' → 'Songs based on actual events' per [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 November 6|CfD 2009 Nov 6]]

This code should have produced the following text:

replaced category 'Actual event ballads' → 'Songs based on actual events' per CfD 2009 Nov 6

However, it produced the following text:

replaced category 'Actual event ballads' → 'Songs based on actual events' per AWB

See diff-1 diff-2. Note that the link points to the specified page, but that the visible text is incorrect.

I have seen this semi-prot skip as well, although I hadn't connected the two problems. Unfortunately I dumped my bugged version (in favor of 4.6) so I can't do any testing. Rich Farmbrough, 16:00, 7 August 2009 (UTC).
Max has made some changes to improve that... But thats after 5112... Which isnt currently out... —Reedy 15:47, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Depending on the task, the diff usually changes the page entirely, so it's fairly easy to notice. –xenotalk 16:01, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Not knowingly fixed, at least. And if Rjwilmsi is right (which i've got no doubt in), its gonna be harder to try and fix/reproduce. Its seemingly quite a low error rate, which is good, but doesnt help with fixing it.. Its presumably when a certain thing happens, ie a certain path through the AWB code that does it. Its certainly a show stopper for releasing 4.9/5 in any form other than svn snapshots. —Reedy 06:29, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Does this thing happen only in API version?
Any idea where it found the other code? I checked and in Rjwilmsi's example the other article (Crete, Indiana) is neither recently created nor edited at the same time. Was it probably in Rjwilmsi's edit list as well? -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:26, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
No one has reported it in the Web Browser version, so i would suspect so. From previous reports, it was the article before it in the list, which was skipped, i believe.. Rob/someone else should hopefully be able to confirm (fingers crossed). —Reedy 11:09, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
My best guess is that it's a previously skipped article that's getting picked up. Rjwilmsi 17:29, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Yes, it's almost exclusively an article that was skipped, but I think, didn't meet the skip criteria. For example, Xenobot was working through this list. It skipped #1217 claiming it did not contain the word "article" (it did), and then saved the code meant for 1217 to #1218. 1216 did meet the skip criteria. –xenotalk 17:43, 17 August 2009 (UTC)


Right, as of the 5263 snapshot up, this *should* (although unconfirmed, due to difficulty to replicate), be fixed.. Might be a few other skipping bugs or similar introduced. —Reedy 06:30, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Just curious, why was it happening? –xenotalk 13:49, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Dunno. Hence we couldnt fix it easily. MaxSem reworked the code to hopefully prevent all the fun and games. —Reedy 15:15, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

We are hopeful that this bug is now fixed in the latest snapshots. We would be grateful of any reports of the bug still occurring in newer revisions of AWB 4.9.x i.e. SVN revision > 5438. Thanks Rjwilmsi 14:43, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

AWB messes up the new "list-defined references"

Status Fixed in the next release
Description See [17]. AWB messes up list-defined references, that is, where all references are in the references section, and are pointed to in the main text by <ref name="xxxx" />

AWB needs to be altered to take account of the new feature, and – where it is used – should refrain from altering the order of the refs (in the case above they are ordered alphabetically by ref name, but other editors might choose a different system).

Not many such articles at the moment, but their number is bound to increase, as it makes for much cleaner editing of article text. NSH001 (talk) 13:18, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

To duplicate: Make a rule in the advanced replace. Click once on the rule in the left-hand column to make the name of the rule editable. Type in a new name and click somewhere else to remove the focus from the name. Click on the name; the name will reset to "Rule".

Also: Make a rule in the advanced replace. Click once on the rule in the left-hand column to make the name of the rule editable. Type in a new name and click somewhere else to remove the focus from the name. Save the settings and check the resulting XML file. All of the advanced replace rules are saved with a name of "Rule", regardless of what name was entered in AWB.

Operating system Win7
.NET FW Version
AWB version 4.9.0.3 rev5636; the first part of the issue (the name resetting) seems to be resolved in rev5899 but the second half (saving the name in the XML settings file) isn't
Workaround
Fixed in version rev 5922


I've just tried this, and its saved fine with a rule Name of "Lol" (granted, i just did make some minor changes, but that was just removing some unneeded crap). I do agree, that if you change the name in the left hand side list view, it doesn't affect that of the Rule on the right hand side.. (I'll put a newer snapshot up with these minor changes) —Reedy 00:24, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
Upgraded to the latest snapshot (5918), here's what I saw: the resetting issue I mentioned above is still there, duplicated by 1) making a rule 2) naming that rule in the left side 3) making another rule and 4) clicking back to the first rule whose name was changed. The name resets to "Rule" upon clicking it. Now that I know I can change the name on the right side (somehow I didn't realize that before), this isn't as major of an issue as I thought it was; however, it would still be nice if it was resolved. – TMF 09:37, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

rev 5922 - I've made changes to allow the changing of the label to propogate back to the control. Though, from a quick test, seems slightly buggy on the update. I've therefore also disabled label edit on the tree view. Changing it in the rule propogates it back to the tree view. I'll look at fixing it properly both ways later, though, it doesn't seem so major if it can be done one way or another. I think, this resolves the issue for the moment? —Reedy 10:56, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, that's good enough for me for now since the issue doesn't exist if you can't change it in the left pane in the first place. =) – TMF 12:41, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Awesome. —Reedy 12:50, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Did you have the 'highlight unbalanced brackets if found' option set – on that article an unbalanced bracket is found, so a search begins at that point in the article. After finding all those matches and returning to the top, the new search starts from the top of the article. Rjwilmsi 21:29, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
To be honest I don't know. I went through and tried to make it screw up again without the 'highlight unbalanced brackets if found'. I would expect that the find function would always start the search at the top and go from there, no matter what options I have selected, so can we fix that? Perhaps that was the problem from the beginning. Wizard191 (talk) 22:40, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
I would expect that the find function would always start the search at the top: We'd better keep the option to allow the user to start the search some way through the text. Rjwilmsi 23:07, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Really? I always assumed that it started at the top until I accidentally hit the search button one too many times and found that it went to the top and I found more hits than I saw the first time around. That's just my take on it...if others think it's reasonable to start in the middle then this bug can be closed. Wizard191 (talk) 13:45, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

ArgumentOutOfRangeException in AsyncApiEdit.CallEvent and ArgumentOutOfRangeException in Tools.TrimEditSummary

Going through unreferenced articles, I came to The Essence of Bobby Vinton and came up with this bug. I have find and replace enabled with 20 approx items in normal settings. The second bug seems to come at random times (sometimes straight after) after the first bug has occurred. Mattg82 (talk) 01:44, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Both have been reported but your report confirms by suspicions that these 2 bugs are related. -- Magioladitis (talk) 01:46, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Looking into this further, turning off Add replacements to edit summary stops the bugs from happening. When it is turned on the second bug occurs every time I hover the mouse over the summary drop down box. Also both bugs only occur when an 9th unique edit & replace has taken place. I hope this helps. Mattg82 (talk) 02:34, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Is it really the 9th or it depends on the size of the edit summary? -- Magioladitis (talk) 02:47, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
After further playing the 9th edit doesn't seem important but rather my particular edits. My find and replace edits added a | (a pipe?) to the beginning of every line of the infobox parameters. Mattg82 (talk) 03:17, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Could you post your settings file somewhere? (Rapidshare for example). -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:50, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
If it helps, I was getting what appears to be the same error on 541st Parachute Infantry Regiment (United States). I manually corrected 4 typos, then AWB was able to fix 15 more without error. I've copied the state of the page which produces the error to User:Mandarax/AWB Sandbox 2. I don't think there's a need to post settings for this. A minimalist configuration with everything disabled except RegexTypoFix produces the error. (I'm using SVN 5918.) MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 10:47, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Ofcourse, using {{Test}}, it should just match {{Test in the capture... Whats the problem here? —Reedy 18:30, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
The problem is that you have set up the regex to ignore external links. And AWB thinks that the whole http://www.ihrc.umn.edu/research/vitrage/all/ko/ihrc2999.html}} is an external link, so it ignores it and your regex doesn't find the braces. Svick (talk) 22:28, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

An example? -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:08, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

If I make another change to AWB's defaultsort capitalisation logic it will be to remove it entirely, and only correct spacing and diacritics errors in the defaultsort. There are 101 different policies in Wikipedia on the defaultsort and AWB cannot meet all of them, let alone most of them. Do we think that is the best way forward? Rjwilmsi 23:54, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
I would expect that anyone doing defaultsort would just type the article name 'as it exists' and not alter it. What reason would there be for alteration? It is the 'default' after all. Hmains (talk) 00:12, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
It's the default for sorting. So it should have not diacritics and not capitals in the middle because these things change the expected order. For more information check WP:SORTKEY. -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:15, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
So what is the resolution? Continue to have AWB capitalize the first letter of each word in the name and lower case all other letters even if they are an initialism of some kind? If so, it is not a resolution, just a perpetuation of error Hmains (talk) 06:16, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
This is not for AWB to decide. Read the rules in WP:SORTKEY please.
    • Do not begin a sort key with a lower case letter unless you want the article to appear on the category page separate from articles sorted with an upper case letter, under a lower case letter heading.
  • A case-insensitive sort can be achieved by following the convention that initial letters of words are capitalized in the sort key, but other letters are lower case. For example, use "Dubois" in sort keys rather than "DuBois".
If you disagree please start a discussion there. -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:02, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
  • You misunderstand. If the name of the article is 'Infantry divisions in WWII by country', AWB creates a defaultsort template with 'Infantry Divisions In Wwii By Country'. It is AWB that is in wrong; there is nothing wrong or in question with WP:SORTKEY. Hmains (talk) 22:16, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

It's not a bug. Accounts with bot status should be bots. The previous feature was a bug. It seems someone fixed the code, probably Reedy.-- Magioladitis (talk) 21:54, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
It's definitely a bug, and having talked with Reedy, I'm not sure he was the one to break this feature. Admins can be trusted to do things like remove the nasty AWB spam from their edit summaries. Not to mention this would prevent even "legitimate" adminbots from operating properly. The CheckPage lists the user as a bot. The software should recognize this, regardless of other flags. --MZMcBride (talk) 18:41, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
I should also note that it appears that AWB half-recognizes the bot status by allowing access to the bot-only tab, but the login bar lists Admin=True Bot=False and the features of the bot-only tab do not appear to work. --MZMcBride (talk) 18:45, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Indeed, this is very peculiar. When putting a flagged bot in "users", it says "Bot=true" but no bot tab. Per MZM, it looks like it's doing it half and half. I would also like to vote for regressing to the days of 'ole whereby a rouge admin could list themself as a bot for auto-saving and non-"Project:AWB" goodness. (On a side note, if we have to advertise, I much preferred the piped "using AWB" note to the one being displayed now). With the current implementation, bots that have been granted approval to run without a flag (so users can scrutinize their changes) won't be able to operate. –xenotalk 18:48, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

If the edits are automatic and not overviewed by the editor doing them, this should be visible. Semi-automatic edits with AWB should be stated as those. Admins are trusted to use the extra tools. Xeno, I think, has proposed the creation of a new group of rights called AWBaccount. Editors who are allowed to use AWB. This would probably solve a lot of problems. -- Magioladitis (talk) 01:00, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

I think I made an off-hand remark that a userright might be preferable to a checkpage - but it wasn't discussed in depth and I didn't bother filing a bugzilla on it. –xenotalk 13:44, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
Requiring the use of edit summary spam is my main issue here. There used to be a way to disable it. Now there isn't. There's absolutely no reason at all to announce every script or program you're using when making an edit, esp. one that's not automated. While it could be an issue everyone didn't announce their AWB usage, allowing admins to turn off the annoyance seems completely reasonable. --MZMcBride (talk) 18:38, 16 December 2009 (UTC), using Safari, Mac OS X, my two hands, and some love
To decide the bot flga AWB checks the actual bot flag of the user account rather than the bot section of the CheckPage. I expect if we changed the first line of UpdateBotStatus() in Main.cs from "bool bot = TheSession.IsBot;" to "bool bot = (TheSession.IsBot || TheSession.IsSysop);" then admins would be treated as bots again, though I can't personally test this. However, I'm not sure that's appropriate as that would potentially subvert WP:BAG? I think this requires a discussion there to see if it's acceptable to the BAG. Rjwilmsi 18:30, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Project:AWB is used in order ot save characters in the edit summary. We lose 4 characters to pipe it. It's good that editors are not allowed to remove the label anymore because this enables reviewers to check whether the edit was semi-automated. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:30, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Should allow option to pipe it, "using Project:AWB" looks ghastly. –xenotalk 19:31, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Why don't we use [[WP:AWB|AWB]]? It's one character shorter than [[Project:AWB]]. Svick (talk) 19:40, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Because "Project" works for projects that don't use a "WP:" prefix. –xenotalk 19:41, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Probably we have to make a centralised discussion about bot assisted edits. In a recent ArbCom (about date delinking) they almost ban semi-automated edits completely.
