Only use this page to report bugs in the current version of the software. Update to the most recent version, check to make sure your bug has not been reported already on this page, and read the FAQ before posting a bug here. See How to Report Bugs Effectively for advice on how to write bug reports.

Before posting anything related to non-Wikimedia Foundation wikis, make sure that this site has a recent SVN version of MediaWiki with enabled Bot API. Older versions of MediaWiki or without the Bot API are not supported. Be sure to mention the exact URL of your wiki.

Could you elaborate what exactly did you do to encounter this bug? Can you reproduce it? MaxSem^{(Han shot first!)} 14:17, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd love to know what causes this. It happens now and again, randomly.. And theres a null check on the web browser, but its gotta be something in the Login() method —Reedy Boy 14:21, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea. I forgot to check back here about this error and it's long gone from my memory. Unfortunately, I can't follow the code in the link you referenced above. My programming knowledge is small and ancient. "There's this newfangled technique called modular programming!" "Can I use it with COBOL?" "I think so." 'nuff said.

Here are the errors that I get in order of appearance. 1) The interwiki list didn't load correctly. Please check your internet connection and then restart AWB. 2) I get the REGEX attention screen 3) Load from English wikipedia?: No list of typos was found. Would you like to use the list of typos from the enlish wikipedia? Only choose yes if this is english wiki. I select Yes 4) There was a problem loading the list of typos 5) Cannot load version checkpage from wikipedia. Please verify that youve connected to the internet.

Can you access Wikipedia from Internet Expolorer? Did something change in your network settings recently? MaxSem^{(Han shot first!)} 09:00, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I can access IE, No nothing changed. I found a workaround and that is if I open IE and login to Wikipedia AWB will work. If I logout or close IE then it will not work. Its only with the newest version of AWB also.--Kumioko (talk) 13:55, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I spoke to soon. I was able to access it for 1 day and now I can't access it again. Is it possible someone suspended my access accidentally or something?--Kumioko (talk) 13:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

These error messages mean that AWB is physically unable to connect to Wikipedia servers. Even if you are removed from the list of approved users or blocked, you should be able to connect to the wiki. Since the problem disappeared for a while without any changes to AWB and then resurfaced for no obvious reason, it looks like that you're facing some kind of technical failure on your side, unrelated to AWB. MaxSem^{(Han shot first!)} 14:51, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that really stinks, maybe the next version will fix it somehow. I have tried it at work and at home and neither works. Guess I was making too many edits too fast..Seems strange though that I can access the internet as long as I don't use AWB.:-)--Kumioko (talk) 19:58, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. Thought i'd addressed this before, but seems not. Cannot duplicate it (just tried on a 10mb export of cat:2008 deaths)... The CanRead i set, must still be returning true for your copy, but then when it tries to get the position (the inner if), its closed and tehrefore doesnt like it. —Ree dy 17:34, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

        }

I get this when I run AWB under my VMware Windows XP, where the database scanner seems to run about 7x more slowly than on my native Windows. Under native Windows this exception doesn't occur, so is it some speed issue that the file is taking too long to close? Rjwilmsi 07:20, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(Ru-Wikipedia)

Unusedimages still does not work. Gives 0.

But Contributions&namespace=6&limit=50&target=Alex+Spade has start to give out something - but its results are strange - it give out 102 pages, one of them is from Участник-space (User-space), more over I didn't edit the respective page. Alex Spade (talk) 21:28, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Special:Newpages is consistently returning around 85 pages, only 20 of which are mainspace, no matter what parameters I use. A random sampling of those pages show that none of them are new. For example, Woodland, California, a page created in 2002, is one of the mainspace pages returned just now. --Fabrictramp (talk) 22:06, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Version 4.3.2.0: Special:NewPages now returns a page list; however, if a series of parameters is supplied (for example, "NewPages&dir=prev&limit=50"), AWB doesn't always seem to recognize them. "NewPages&dir=prev&limit=50" returns 197 pages, but it should only return 50. Other parameters, such as "hidepatrolled=1", seem to work inconsistently or not at all. All these parameters ought to be passed unchanged into the URL. --Russ (talk) 14:22, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Make list confused by unpatrolled changes?

Status	Fixed in the next release
Description	When I try to make a list of the new pages on the Finnish Wikipedia (http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toiminnot:Uudet_sivut), the resulting list is incorrect. The correct list currently begins with "Østlandet", "Gustav Peter Blom" and "Anatoli Fomenko", but the AWB-generated list looks different: "Rahva Hääl", "Viron sosialistinen neuvostotasavalta", "Brian Joubert" etc. The AWB-generated list now seems to include only the patrolled changes and pages linked from their edit summaries (which is definitely a bug). This used to work correctly. Silvonen (talk) 05:50, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Max. It looks a bit crappy though so let's leave the bug report open for now please - I'll have a think about how we might improve it. We could, for example, allow language selection of custom wikis, or allow customisation of the AWB string. I know folks could just alter their edit summary, but my observations (especially now we have some log data allowing me to look at custom wikis where AWB is being used) say that they don't. --kingboyk (talk) 18:48, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Workaround	workaround creates a further issue: removing paragraph markup in Blockquotes. See below.
Fixed in version	Unknown

i've just been informed that a key problem a bot (User:SmackBot) has with typographically-significant unicode-representing html codes (specifically: replacing them with raw unicode chars and thereby, in some small but important areas of wikipedia, seriously and significantly reducing the ability of editors to use wikipedia usefully) is likely to recur due to AWB.

i hadn't heard of AWB before and frankly i'm not clear on its relationship with this bot (or vice versa) but the assertion by the bot's writer that "Be aware, however that the next AWB gen fixes to hit that page will probably remove those s you have put in the blockquotes" suggests that this devel community should be aware of the problem sooner rather than later.

rather than risk clouding the issue by trying to paraphrase the problem, i will simply re-post below my initial flagging of the problem to the bot's writer and his response: (emphasis added)

SmackBot: conversion of HTML char-codes to raw Unicode: issue & consequent suggestion

greetings rich. first off, although you've probably heard it many times before, congrats and thanks for smackbot. it does good work, with few errors.
but (you knew there was going to be a but, didn't you), there's an exception:
it passed through French spacing and mungled the examples of different-width spacing in the unicode section. see the 2nd mod block HERE -- note the html charcodes   and   have been converted to their raw unicode equivalents, and in the latter example user-content becomes effectively invisible. even given my own knowledge of what should have been there (i created this section (by the miracle of copy-paste)), i thought the code had been completely deleted until i went to replace it and discovered by accident that there was an invisible essentially-zero-width character still between the last word and the exclamation mark.
now i'm in 2 minds as to doing this sort of thing anyway.

PRO: it's technically slightly purer for those on perfectly updated systems using standards-aware (typically paid-for) tools.

CON: it makes the article uneditable offline for anyone without access to unicode-compliant tools, which are much less common than most people think.

CON: some of the unicode codes' characters are not directly creatable on our current keyboards/OSs —that is, they CAN NOT be manually entered, and in some cases can not even be clearly or even visibly observed–can YOU determine at a glance in an edit-window that a gap in the text is not a normal space but actually a non-breaking space?— and in some key cases are not even visible: once they've been forced from being display-time characters to also being edit-time characters, most people lose the ability to directly enter them, and in some cases (eg varying-width spaces) may lose the ability to even see they are there.

but clearly i need to keep SmackBot away from the typographic examples.
i looked at {nobots}, and was about to exclude poor ole smackbot despite his sterling service and well-meaning edits. then i stopped and thought.
i do NOT want to forever exclude smackbot from hoving to with dustpan and brush, monkeywrench and oilcan, tidying up and improving common errors that may be inserted in future by later editors (none of us will be here forever {existential angst} )
but i DO need him not to munge my spacing examples.

then a penny dropped.
SUGGESTION:
modify SmackBot to have a context-sensitive ruleset.
CASE: where an article is tagged Category:Typography, he does NOT execute the html-code-->unicode-char conversion rules.
"simple as that", he says, secure in the knowledge that it's not him that would have to be making them changes...
LESS ARCHITECTURALLY-ARDUOUS SUGGESTION (which in many ways is superior to the above) :
you the developer do one single personal manual pass through the code's config data for the unicode chars smackbot will seek to convert, and remove at devel-time any character with typographic significance (perhaps best defined as: invisible behaviour different from a typewriter font; in particular: spaces).
for now, i'm going to {nobotno,badbot,down!} the article. but it'd be nice not to have to.

i remain,

yours in mutual futile pursuit of perfection,

Sal

Saltation (talk) 11:46, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

OK, I have a solution, but it's not perfect.

First realise that SB is almost exclusively run on WP:AWB, so excluding SB's "general fixes" will likely only buy you time (as another AWB bot will arrive).

There is however an option to ignore nowiki'd text, and a bunch of other stuff. SB is supposed to have this turned on, but sometimes I turn it off to get to picture captions - and forget to turn it back on.

So I've nowiki'd the unicode, which will probably keep most AWB bots away from them, including SB, provided I don't forget an leave the switch off.

Be aware, however that the next AWB gen fixes to hit that page will probably remove those s you have put in the blockquotes.

Rich Farmbrough, 13:49 31 March 2008 (GMT). (tweaked 14:54)

It's not the workaround that "mangles" the paragraph tags, they should in theory go, but they are themselves a workaround to a browser problem, as I understand it. Rich Farmbrough, 19:21 31 March 2008 (GMT).

fair enough -- the need for raw html within blockquotes to mark paragraph breaks did always strike me as a workaround itself.

regardless: i have no problem with a bot or editor altering the markup syntax -- i DO care that multi-paragraph blockquotes continue to be presented to readers in their original (quoted) format: multi-paragraph

And even before that there was Category:Articles with an underscore in their title. Again the reasons for deleting this have gone with hidden cats and the removal of the underscore templates. Rich Farmbrough, 00:43 27 August 2008 (GMT).

Im sure it was {{underscore}} and another one (which then maybe had a category which it added). As the template changed the title name aswell on the page. —Ree dy 15:02, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

White space bug

Status	New
Description	AWB doesn't ignore white spaces [15]
To duplicate:	Run AWB with Skip:Only white space changes
Operating system	XP
.NET FW Version	Unknown
AWB version	4.3.2.0
Workaround
Fixed in version	Unknown

Change in capitalisation isnt a whitespace change. The skip if only whitespace changes literally does that - If whitespace has been added/removed... Suppose, seeing as i changed the code in rev 2486, i could change

        public bool OnlyWhiteSpaceChanged
        {
            get { return (string.Compare(Regex.Replace(mOriginalArticleText, @"\s+", ""), Regex.Replace(mArticleText, @"\s+", "")) == 0); }
        }

Into

        public bool OnlyWhiteSpaceChanged
        {
            get { return (string.Compare(Regex.Replace(mOriginalArticleText, @"\s+", ""), Regex.Replace(mArticleText, @"\s+", ""), true) == 0); }
        }

So it wouldnt be case sensitive (true means it ignores case), and would pickup the above change as only whitespace changed. Suppose that could make some sense... —Ree dy 21:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So if you make the change, surely then an edit with only the typo correction 'english' --> 'English' would be classed skippable as 'only whitespace changed', even though this would not be a whitespace change, as the result of the edit would be a visible change to the displayed article? Rjwilmsi (talk) 22:10, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, then its not actually doing what it should be. —Ree dy 08:25, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry bad examples have a look at[16] [17]

[18]Gnevin (talk) 23:24, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thats more evident of the bug (as literally there is only whitespace changed)... Hmm —Ree dy 08:25, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All of changes are only due to the linefeed, would enabling single line (?s) fix this. Also can we have an option to ignore case changing? Then we could order the dialog option as such

[ ] No changes made
    [ ] Only white space is changed
    [ ] Only casing is changed

That way we don't have Smackbot needlessly capitalizing templates. Make them suboption reduces the confusion of why you can check only white space changes while somehow ignoring that there's been no changes made. — Dispenser 23:06, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm.. Might be singleline related (sounds maybe right).. Will try tommorow (see if it fixes it). And the only casing changed is doable, as shown above, by making the comparison not case sensitive.... Sounds a good idea to me. —Ree dy 01:08, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notes for my self -

no change - (orig == current), already implemented
only whitespace (orig with whitespace removed == current with whitespace removed)
only casing changed (string compare of orig and current that is case-insensitive)
if only whitespace && only casing changed both checked (string compare of orig with whitespace removed and current with whitespace removed)

Presumably the lower 2 boxes enabled if no changes is checked? Or just visually sub-options?

—Ree dy 15:50, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

rev 2907 puts the properties onto into Article... Just need to know about the designer stuff and i'll get it sorted —Ree dy 17:19, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

rev 2912 - That adds the stuff to the designer, a savable setting, and allows for skip if only casing/whitespace changed... Now the bug just needs fixing... —Ree dy 17:53, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just tried one of the unskipped diff's above, and in the AWB sandbox it skipped fine.. (not sure how such a simple regex that matches any whitespace character, between 1 and unlimited times, can actually fail...) —Ree dy 18:05, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how its implemented in C sharp but it seems that combining the function into on would be better (python example again):

def hasChanged(ignorecase = False, whitespace = False):
    if(whitespace):
        # python "and" == C# "&& "and ''not'' binary "AND" of VB
        return (re.sub(r"\s+", "", mOriginalArticleText, (ignorecase and re.IGNORECASE)) == re.sub(r"\s+", "", mArticleText, (ignorecase and re.IGNORECASE)))
    else:
        # Slipping into C#
        return string.Compare(Regex.Replace(mOriginalArticleText, @"\s+", ""), Regex.Replace(mArticleText, @"\s+", ""), ignorecase) == 0

Again, I do not understand exactly how your implementing it in C#. And on the question of the interface since the options to the same they should be as a sub category of the no changes button. — Dispenser 10:07, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The booleans are done from the form, not from the article object, where the skip checks are. So this basically just does the same, and stops us having to pass the actual variables to the article to have that deal with it.. It works fine, other than the \s+ seemingly not always working and replacing whitespace, which is a bit strange. If you SVN update you can see the designer stuff... —Ree dy 11:41, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So they're properties, learned something new. My complaint above is really related to the logic, if only chkSkipWhitespace is checked then it will also act as if chkSkipNoChanges is also checked. So either a matrix will need to be made or chkSkipWhitespace and chkSkipCasing need to be nested inside chkSkipNoChanges condition. — Dispenser 17:00, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, if the first line of the block has a (), with or without parameters, thats a method. If it doesnt have the (), its a property, and this can be read and/or write. So you can effectively have 2 "methods" for the same thing, under the same name (NB, when compiled, it all goes down to very similar code anyway)

The logic is set out, that the skip if no changes takes priority (ie its checked first), then skip if whitespace, skip if casing, and if both of the latter are checked, it does a different property to do a case sensitive whitespace comparison. I cant really see a need to change it... —Ree dy 17:49, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if this is still there/needs keeping open... Can you try it in an up to date svn snapshot, and see if the problem is still occuring. —Ree dy 20:32, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Will try it tonight Gnevin (talk) 07:37, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This bug seems to still be occurring, I'm doing a large run and though I've got "Only whitespace is changed," it is definitely not skipping edits where AWB is only suggesting the removal of one or more extra blank lines. I thought maybe it was my error, something else checked or unchecked improperly, but ... In any case, I thought it a weird coincidence that the option itself isn't covered in the appropriate section of the user manual, as if it was newly-added function or had been removed because of the malfunction. Is it working for anyone? — TAnthony^Talk 20:35, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. 4.3.2.0 is the latest release version. Changes to this code (and loads of other stuff) have been done in the SVN. The snapshots are a build from the SVN, so have much updated code in them. —Ree dy 21:40, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have tried the latest SVN and 4.3.2.0 but none of them are highlighting the whitespaces in these revisions , [19] [20]
