[13:41:46] happy day everyone! [13:42:28] I have few doubts about the offline compilation feature of the app for which I would like to get a little clarification. [13:43:53] First, is there app going to supporting "aall" zim files found in the wild. i.e., those that I could get from kiwix? Or is it restricted to only a few. [13:46:05] hi, kaartic! we're still discussing some of the finer points here. in the current alpha build, any ZIM file containing wikipedia articles should work. [13:48:12] ok. I did note that the app supported any zim file. There was a little issue with one of the zim files. So, I wanted to be sure, if it's a bug or not. [13:48:41] (It's hard to say what's a bug when you use the alpha and with offline compilations in particular!) [13:49:16] kaartic: oh, which ZIM file seems to be working incorrectly? [14:10:50] (Sorry network interruptions) [14:10:53] It's the one found at https://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia_en_ray_charles.zim [14:11:09] It is working but in some cases behaving oddly. [14:11:15] To state a few. The app clearly identifies it and shows in the 'Offline Library' menu. When I tap on that item I get a "An unknown error occured" snackbar. [14:11:40] Another issue is with the search. [14:11:45] (checking) [14:13:09] When I try to search for articles starting with the alphabet "a" I get a few results. When I tap on any of them it loads a completely different result. [14:13:14] That was odd, too. [14:16:03] kaartic: hmm, i don't get an error when i click on the entry for the 'ray charles' zim in the Offline Compilations screen. would you mind creating a phabricator ticket with a stack trace, if possible? [14:16:16] i'll try on another device, too... [14:26:20] Sure, if I'm able to reproduce it for sure. [14:26:48] mdholloway: Are you able to reproduce the search issue that I stated? [14:26:55] kaartic: thanks! [14:27:11] kaartic: i haven't been able to reproduce the search issue, either [14:27:52] kaartic: is the ray charles zim the only one you have downloaded, or are there others? [14:29:37] The only other one was the 'Medical wiki/ta' with which I faced yet another issue. [14:30:46] BTW, when you say you weren't able to reproduce do you mean that you were able to get the results correctly i.e., you were able to see the correct page getting loaded. [14:31:25] kaartic1: yes, the correct page loads [14:31:27] for me [14:32:58] Let me check that too. [14:34:05] Let me come to the issue with the 'Medical wiki' pack that I downloaded from the app [14:34:28] kaartic1: sure, what issue did you find there? [14:35:08] First, when I click on the 'Main page' from the detail screen for it, I get a "Article cannot be loaded while offline" error [14:35:30] which seems to go against the notion of an OFFLINE compilation [14:36:33] Second, I am unable to find what pages are available offline to me through that compilation! [14:36:47] kaartic1: yes... "main page" behavior is something that's still very WIP. tracked here: T174462 [14:36:48] T174462: Clicking on 'Main page' on a compilation detail screen while online doesn't load the main page from the compilation - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T174462 [14:37:20] (which i see that you filed!) [14:39:05] kaartic1: and i see your point about being unable to see all available articles in a compilation. the current theory is that the user should be able to use the app as though it were online, and therefore an index page or the like would be unnecessary [14:39:17] but i can see an argument that it would be expected [14:40:21] I haven't completed my point, yet! I get NO results for any search at all! [14:40:39] kaartic1: hmm... :[ [14:40:49] I tried english and tamil with same results. [14:40:54] for 'Medical wiki/ta', right? [14:41:02] Yes [14:41:14] That made me wonder what pages it had in the first place. [14:44:31] BTW, in case you're using T174462 to track the work of 'Main page' you should possibly rename it, I guess [14:44:32] T174462: Clicking on 'Main page' on a compilation detail screen while online doesn't load the main page from the compilation - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T174462 [14:47:15] mdholloway: I was misspoken back there about the 'ray charles' zim. I get the "An unknown error occured" when I tap on the 'Main page' button on the detail screen. [14:48:09] kaartic1: aha! yes, i get that as well. [14:52:14] mdholloway: Also, what do you get when you tap on the "A fool for you" result in the search results for "a" in the 'ray charles' zim [14:55:01] kaartic: 'article cannot be loaded while offline'... [14:55:48] Why is that happening even though I get a search result when offline? [14:56:09] Does it mean the 'zim' file isn't correctly created? [14:56:42] kaartic: i'm not sure; we'll have to investigate. i can write up tickets for both of these. (i see the underlying issue in the main page problem.) [14:57:06] +1 [14:57:27] Any hopes with the 'Medical wiki/ta'? [14:59:41] kaartic: i'll have a look at that next [15:00:07] Take your own time. [15:01:02] There's no hurry. I wouldn't like to take away your time for this a lot. [16:17:05] mdholloway: ok. got to leave, for now. I'll file a ticket on phab regarding the 'Medical wiki/ta' where I could follow up. [16:17:11] Have a great day. [16:17:22] kaartic: i'm about to file it -- just confirmed it here [16:17:25] thanks for the reports! [16:17:51] hope you have a great day as well. [16:19:04] you're welcome. and thanks for filing the issue on my behalf. [16:19:47] I guess I should just file a ticket on phab for these issues if that's not an issue. It seems to save time! [16:20:28] To be clear, ... for issues like these in the furture ... [17:41:21] mdholloway Hi Michael, I have checked this ticket, and the issue seems no longer exists in the current release. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T104526 [17:43:52] Hmm, that's a pretty old issue, and it's entirely possible that it was a bug on the server end that is now resolved. [17:44:32] got it. should I change the task status? [17:45:39] let me just check real quick... [17:46:03] sure :D [17:47:37] cooltey: actually, I'm able to reproduce it. In step 2, make sure you're clicking the "article language" picker, which is the button in the bottom toolbar. [17:48:25] nevertheless, it might still be a server-side issue, and not something we can fix in the client. [17:52:20] Thank you. I think I clicked the wrong button. Did you mean the middle article language picker button in the article page? [17:52:35] yep [17:59:31] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/JmZIqTDb/1.png [18:00:00] I would like to make sure we are talking about the same thing (sorry) [18:00:55] the Afrikaans language can be searched in this article [18:13:52] cooltey: the task refers to the Main Page of English wikipedia. [18:14:23] make sure to go to the Main Page, and try selecting the language again. [18:20:49] dbrant: heya! was wondering if you had a minute to check for the issue i emailed you about - weird tables appearing in MCS content... [18:21:22] I finally see it. thank you dbrant! [18:22:33] mhurd: ah yes; I actually don't think I see what you were referring to... at least on the Obama article... [19:07:56] dbrant: thanks for checking! i may have tracked down what's happening. i sent quick reply to that email with a screenshot [19:08:35] ah ok, makes sense
