Bugs from/fixed in Version 4.1 of AWB

Category (recursive) doesn't work

Status	Fixed in the next release
Description	It doesn't recurse, acting equivalently to "category". NE2 03:22, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
To duplicate:	Put "Provincial highways in Canada" in the box and choose category (recursive).
Operating system	XP
.NET FW Version	Unknown
AWB version	4.1.0.0
Workaround
Fixed in version	Unknown

That's probably my fault; I updated the category content fetcher to use api.php instead of query.php, and I probably broke that. I'm extraordinarily busy, so if someone can fix that up that would be great. —METS501 (talk) 03:33, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Does the normal one work? Reedy Boy 11:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Fixed - rev 1665. Mets must've accidentally removed a bit of code. No biggy :) Reedy Boy 18:38, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Database dump open exceptions

Status	Fixed in the next release
Description	AWB does not handle exceptions when the database dump file is opened. Exception: Exception Message: The process cannot access the file '...\enwiki-20070802-pages-articles.xml' because it is being used by another process. Call stack: at WikiFunctions.DatabaseScanner.MainProcess.Start() at WikiFunctions.DatabaseScanner.DatabaseScanner.Start() at WikiFunctions.DatabaseScanner.DatabaseScanner.StartButton() -- intgr [talk] 14:05, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
To duplicate:	Follow steps: Create an empty file named c:\a.xml From '(1) Make list' choose 'Database dump' From the database scanner window, choose File → Open, type c:\a.xml Delete the c:\a.xml file Press the database scanner 'Start' button and witness the unhandled exception
Operating system	Windows
.NET FW Version	Unknown
AWB version	4.1.0.0
Workaround	Ignore the error and make sure the database dump is readable.
Fixed in version	Unknown

Are you definately sure that it isnt in use? Reedy Boy 18:25, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

rev 1666 - Error handling added... I presume that is what you are meaning, not that it had an error? Reedy Boy 18:42, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

No longer able to copy preview text

Status	Fixed in the next release
Description	The facility to copy text in the preview pane by selecting it then right-clicking and choosing 'Copy' from the right-click menu has disappeared (i.e. there is no right-click menu any more in the preview pane). Colonies Chris 07:18, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
To duplicate:	Select text in the preview pane; right click. No right-click menu appears.
Operating system	Windows XP
.NET FW Version	Unknown
AWB version	4.1.0.0
Workaround
Fixed in version	Unknown

What do you mean by the preview pane? Ive just tried it on the diff, the preview and such, and they are all showing menu's... Reedy Boy 08:50, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I mean the top pane, the one that displays the article as it will be seen. I'll try it again at home tonight - I don't have AWB installed here at work. Colonies Chris 11:48, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Works fine for me... Maybe it didnt initialise correctlyReedy Boy 12:16, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I've just checked it again. If I select any text in the preview pane, then right click, no menu appears (there used to be a single-item menu, Copy). I've also tried doing the Copy with Ctrl+Ins, but that doesn't work either (when I try to paste, there's nothing saved to paste). Colonies Chris 16:44, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I removed/changed that menu over due to it not working for me. It should open the standard IE right click menu when you right click... Does for me.. Reedy Boy 16:46, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I had this same problem, no menu is showing up when I right click in the preview pane. --CapitalR 17:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Fixed rev 1671 - It was one of the very few differences running in "debug" - It was being enabled by the debug code, but disabled by the designer code. Hence it "seeming" fine for me. Fixed for next release - Which may not be too far away due to other bugs and such. Thanks! Reedy Boy 18:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I dont think this one is major - It was just unable to connect to the server at that point. Reedy Boy 08:35, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

The code is fine. It would unpipe it if the displayed text was exactly the same as the title of the article to which the text links. In this case capitalization differs. Jogers (talk) 21:27, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Database dump search utility regex error

Why are you using the 3 blocks in teh brackets? "\b([a-z]*) \1\b" surely would do the same? Can you tell me where you are putting what? Whats the exception you are being given? Reedy Boy 22:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

No matter where you put it the following exception is thrown:

Status	Fixed in the next release

Seems that the regex is simply invalid. Jogers (talk) 22:11, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

The message should be probably more user-friendly :-) The same applies to special filter. Jogers (talk) 22:13, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Double back slash any better? "\\b([a-z][a-z][a-z]*) \\1\\b". As a regex tester i have, says the regex is fine - and it does fine duplicate words. So im wondering if its related to the escape characters.

Also, "\b([a-z][a-z]*) \1\b" works the same as "\b([a-z][a-z][a-z]*) \1\b" Reedy Boy 22:15, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

"Message: parsing "\b([a-z][a-z][a-z]*) \1\b" - Reference to undefined group number 1" - Its the regex in some form, or the way AWB is parsing it - Its telling us it doesnt have a defined group 1. Reedy Boy 22:16, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

You are right. The regex is OK and it works both in regex tester and special filter but not in database scanner for some reason. Jogers (talk) 22:26, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

It was because of ExplicitCapture regex option. Fixed in rev 1692. Jogers (talk) 23:34, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Fixed - rev 1688. The logic for the visible was the wrong way round for some reason. Also added it to enable "show" if the window is minimised. Reedy Boy 19:02, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

This came up before... I dont use vista, so even attempting to create a workaround would be hard.. Mets!! Im sure there was a work around... I'd just turn of UAC, seen as it isnt a "security feature", or so MS say... Reedy Boy 18:38, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Dupe - Wikipedia_talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Bugs/Archive_1#AWB_Updater_needs_permission Reedy Boy 18:43, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[4] - We could maybe get AWBUpdater to ask for administrator permissions... But its a bit OTT...? Reedy Boy 18:45, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Yeah, UAC is a pain in the ass. Here's how to get around it (this should work, if you test it out and it does we can add it to the FAQ).

1. Right click on the folder that contains AutoWikiBrowser.exe and select "Properties"
2. Click on the "Security" tab
3. Click the "Edit" button
4. Select "TrustedInstaller", check the "Full control" "allow" checkbox, and press OK twice.

Try that. Let me know. —METS501 (talk) 18:46, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Could you provide us with the settings file you used? We won't be able to recreate this error without it. Jogers (talk) 12:35, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

So far as I know, I've been using the default settings. The only thing I changed is that the default project is now en.wb. If you meant what was I trying to do with it... I was trying to turn every level 3 heading into a link to a subpage by the same name. It was my first time trying to use regexs, so I probably screwed it up. But the program shouldn't throw an error, even if it's my fault. – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 16:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Your regex was probably invalid. If you post it I could help you fix it. The error message should definitely be more user-friendly. Jogers (talk) 16:56, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

The message should be more user-friendly since rev 1707. Jogers (talk) 19:50, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I seem to have been having some problems because I'm using the WikEd editor. This is for no.wiki.x.io. I could complete the recategorization once I disabled (commented) the WikEd editor in monobook.js. galar71 14:23, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

The above bug has been fixed for the next version.

For the wikied thing, wrap your monobook.js in

Its because its still trying to download from a blank link. rev 1712 should prevent it trying to download if the optional upgrade is declined.

I cant duplicate this behaviour. But i did notice it didnt take the correct route through the code - My fault, inverse logic on a null/empty check. Even with how it was before, it would skip through the code, but would incorrectly tell you that it had updated AWB successfully (a lie!)... But it would exit after that. You probably cant close it with the X button, but if you let it run through, it will close itself after asking if you want to start AWB. rev 1724 fixes the incorrect logic. Reedy Boy 16:02, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

OK, steps to reproduce (fingers crossed_

1. Be up to date...
2. open AWB

5. now get asked to close AWB.

If I hit continue, it will let me edit, but it won't let me save the edit(s). If I hit Ctrl+S (the shortcut key), it simply repeats the error and I lose the changes I make. --WillMcC 19:26, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

If you select General, then change the "On load: Show changes" to "On load: Show preview" and see if you can save. As it would seem that its related to the get diff... But im not sure why on that bit - as DiffHead() is one of the simplest parts... Reedy Boy 19:35, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean by "the search algorithm"? Jogers (talk) 19:35, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Changing to "Show preview" seems to fix the problem. As for the search algorithm, I'm referring to when I "start the process" --WillMcC 19:42, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Your not trying to use a custom sytle sheet with the diff are you? Reedy Boy 19:44, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I just made a change for another reason - adding the check for the the file existing, this threw the error as customstyle was null, and it is looking for a size.. Reedy Boy 20:55, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Filling in the blanks here, this happened after doing a database scan to regenerate the DEP project. I sorted alphabetically (and noticed the first line appeared blank), then I went to filter and checked "keep main space" and "remove duplicates". I don't know if there's a work around -- I'm going to skip that step, as they should all be main space with no duplicates anyway.--Fabrictramp 15:48, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

inappropriate DEFAULTSORT values

Status	Not a bug/currently unresolvable
Description	When AWB detects that every category entry has the same sort key, it strips that sort key out and puts it into a DEFAULTSORT: instead. This is not always appropriate. An example can be seen at Banksia grandis.[8] The only appropriate default sort key for this article is "Banksia grandis". However it just so happens that the article is currently only in categories restricted to Banksia species, for which it is desirable to sort by specific epithet. The sort key used for the current category entries is thus "Grandis", but this is a grossly inappropriate choice for a default sort key. If someone comes along and puts that article into Category:Trees or Category:Plants published in 1798 or Category:Plants published by Carl von Willdenow or Category:Flora of the Swan Coastal Plain or just about any other category imaginable, then having a DEFAULTSORT of "Grandis" will be just plain wrong, and embarrassingly so. I've had to revert inappropriate DEFAULTSORT keys quite a few times lately. I realise that this strategy is right 95% of the time, but getting it wrong 5% or even 1% of the time isn't really good enough. "First do no harm" and all that guff. Please turn this functionality off. Hesperian 12:55, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

• I noticed this also and have had to turn off 'Apply general fixes' to avoid the trouble this causes. What AWB should do is that when it inserts DEFAULTSORT, it should add a '|xxxx' sort key to each category link that originally had no sort key and was sorting based on the article/category name itself. This is a do no harm fix to get closer to what the category link was originally. Hmains 21:44, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
  • where "xxxx" is the title, I assume. This would be appropriate bahaviour for cases where there are already categories that use the title as sort key by default, and therefore an improvement. But it wouldn't address the problem of articles whose most appropriate default sort key is the title, but which just happens to be only in categories that overrule that default. Hesperian 04:08, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Yes, 'xxxx' is the title. The current behavior is fine for bio articles, but terrible for others. Yesterday (before I turned it off), I had to stop and type in alternative sort keys in every category that I was processing with AWB. This involved geography articles where the name of the country became the defaultsort key--which was fine for categories above the country level (such as 'Lakes by country', but I had to type in the geographic feature (like 'Lake') as the sort key in all the categories at the country level--otherwise in the 'geography of foo' category, all the articles on lakes, rivers, mountains, etc were sorted as 'foo' in instead of 'lake', 'river' 'mountain', etc as they should be. Hmains 17:32, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
• I don't see a problem here. With the article's current content all changes were correct. If someone will need to add another category to the article, it will be their responsibility to make the article sort properly within it. AWB cannot make crystal-ball assumptions. MaxSem 10:27, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately crystal-ball assumptions are just what is needed in order for AWB to do correctly what it is currently doing wrongly. It is not possible to guess an appropriate default sort key based on a set of actual sort keys. But you seem to be saying that since there is no solution, there must not be a problem either. Hesperian 11:15, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I would like to AGF, but it seems as though you are mis-characterizing things here. Obviously, if there was a problem, there would be a solution; if necessary, the devs would just remove the functionality. It's not that the code is deficient or that the developers are not clever, it is just that they have a difference of opinion with you regarding that this is a problem. If all that exists is a single sort key, then it makes sense for that to be the defaultsort. You have the option to override it and any subsequent editor has the ability to change it later. Anytime that 2 keys exist, it will not create the defaultsort. This is a sound algorithm that does no harm and saves time and future errors potentially caused by typographical errors. --After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 02:18, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

The difference in opinion appears to be this:

You guys think that where a DEFAULTSORT value has not been provided, it is safe to assume that no-one has given any thought to what an appropriate default sort key would be, and so it is appropriate for AWB to provide a sensible one.

I thinkknow from personal experience that sometimes people do think about what an appropriate default sort key would be, decide that the article title is the most appropriate default sort key, and therefore make an active, informed decision to omit a DEFAULTSORT value, on the grounds that the default default doesn't need to be over-ruled. In such cases, AWB's intervention is simply incorrect.

Shall I assume the dev's response to this bug report is a WONTFIX? Hesperian 02:46, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

How about this: if the DEFAULTSORT value would have a comma (indicating it is most likely a name), then AWB will keep doing what it's doing. If it doesn't have a comma, we can set the threshold to 3 incidences of the key. For example, assuming there is no comma, if you have only 2 categories in the article, AWB will do nothing (no DEFAULSORT), and if you have 4 categories (for example) with two having no sort keys and two having a sort key, it won't do anything either. It will need to find the sort key in 3 categories to make it the DEFAULTSORT key. This (I think) should eliminate basically all of the problems. —METS501 (talk) 03:04, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I am now wondering whether it wouldn't be better to add to the Wikipedia documentation on category sort keys / DEFAULTSORT values, suggesting that a DEFAULTSORT value should always be provided, even when the default sort key is the article title. If the community approved this as a "social" solution to this problem, then what you're doing would cease to be a bug. Can you keep this bug open for a few days while I look into it? Hesperian 03:12, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

No problem :-) —METS501 (talk) 03:27, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

My changes to Wikipedia:Categories#Setting a default sort key remain unchallenged after more than a week. I won't object to this bug being closed. For the sake of consistency with this closure, you guys might consider updating AWB to always provide a DEFAULTSORT value, even when it matches the title. Hesperian 00:33, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

• why not this: if the DEFAULTSORT key would have a comma, keep doing what AWB is doing, as this is mostly likely a biography article; otherwise, if the a sort key was not previously coded for the article/category (no |xxxx]] ) then insert the article name as a coded |xxxx]] on the article/category name while at the same time adding a DEFAULTSORT key in the way that AWB is currently doing. This would create the least harm to WP sort sequences and not expect again that editors would have to wade through and manually change countless sort keys of article and categories to fix this problem that new version of AWB is currently creating. Hmains 04:53, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Note

There are two separate issues, one addressed by this bug, and unfixable, one addressed by another bug and eminently fixable (possibly even fixed).

1. Sometimes all existing cats use the same sort order, but future cats might not. This is a reasonable WONTFIX, as remarked above.
2. Sometimes some existing cats have a blank sort order - they get given the new default which is distinct from pagename. Here we can fix.

A third class of problem is when a transclusion includes categories. Here it is up to the transclusion to specify pagename where appropriate, and if it matters (for example, in many cleanup cats, the sort key is not terribly relevant (especially if we move from cats)).

Rich Farmbrough, 14:28 23 September 2007 (GMT).

Interestingly the example article was a Banksia-stub for a while, where only a good deafultsort would sort it properly.

The second one is already fixed. AWB will now change to DEFAULTSORT only when all sort keys are the same. Can we mark it as "wontfix" then? Jogers (talk) 15:48, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Note: I realise I have posted the same bug before, but I still have this error everytime I try to update to the latest version (i.e., the optional update, which is the only thing that I lack, since if I choose not to download that I get the message "nothing to update"); also, the diff engine always returns an error. Maybe this has to do with the optional update? And finally, when I try to download the optional update, after I get this bug message, the uploader always gets stuck in the middle of the process...

Its because this new version is still in the SVN, and hasnt been released yet. Should be released soon! Reedy Boy 21:16, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

So, that optional means "beta", or something? Anyway, I'm curious, why showing an option to download it if it can't be downloaded? Waldir 22:10, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

No. Optional are just bugfix releases - No need to force users to download them, and hence, are "optional". It can be downloaded, just the updater is having a wobbly - You can download it manually if you want. Reedy Boy 22:50, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I have the version 4.0.0.0, I can't download anything else since the updater says there's only an optional update and even if I accept it it gets stuck.. I'm going to try the manual download. On the other hand, shouldn't that "wobbly" that the updater is having be fixed? Waldir 23:29, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I updated AWB manually, and the updater now says "nothing to update". The diff engine now doesnt return an error, but looks strange -- Do you have a style.css that makes it look like before? Waldir 23:47, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm. How much RAM do you have? You can check by right clicking on My Computer -> Properties, and then a window should pop up with a "Memory: xxxx MB" or "RAM: xxxx MB" or something similar. —METS501 (talk) 00:12, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

512MB. Programs running: AutoWikiBrowser (VM size 116MB), Firefox (VM size 116MB), Outlook 2003 (VM size 47MB), about 160MB of rubbish required for our VPN (don't think any of this uses .NET), various other cruft ... Commit Charge 612M/1248M. It's a Dell Latitude D600. Aaand it just did it again! This happens every startup, then the program works fine - David Gerard 09:51, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I should probably note that I'm doing a run on Category:Living people, which is 220,000 articles to go, and so default.xml is 19.5 megabytes! Maybe that has something to do with it ;-) If you want to duplicate this, just load that category, save, shutdown and restart and see if it happens for you in 512MB RAM ... - David Gerard 12:35, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Just out of intrest, make a copy of that file, then create a new default.xml (or open AWB without one there), see if you get the error then. I'd suspect not, based on that... You could always use the listsplitter to cut it down into smaller chunks ;) Reedy Boy 18:45, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

This bug is being appeared, when I am starting second copy of AWB. Alex Spade 22:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

It is because you are running 2 copies of the Debug version from teh same location. They are both trying to write to the same text file, but cannot, as one has the file open. Copy to another directory, or run a release version. Reedy Boy 23:02, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Edit toolbar setting doesn't save

Status	Fixed in the next release
Description	The bug brought up earlier (where the edit toolbar was checked as shown yet it wasn't shown) was fixed; however, now the setting for the edit toolbar (whether it shows or not) isn't read on startup. My default settings (made with v4.1.4.0) show <EditToolbarEnabled>true</EditToolbarEnabled>; however, on startup, the toolbar disappears (as does the checkmark in the General menu). To me, if the edit toolbar is enabled in the settings by default, it should appear and stay there upon startup. TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 07:58, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Most likely related to something with the edit toolbar. Could you try loading it with a new settings file/loading AWB with no settings file there. Reedy Boy 10:45, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Chiming in here... This problem also happened to me on upgrading to 4.1.3.0 (using XP Pro), and happened on all of my old settings files. Restarting AWB with just the default settings eliminated the problem. --Fabrictramp 15:22, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

However, when I checked "show edit tool bar" in my new settings, it floats over the top of the edit box and won't let me edit the first two lines of text. --Fabrictramp 15:32, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I have the same behaviour. --Silvonen 15:30, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I've noticed the exact behavior described above in Vista as well. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 21:32, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Quite probably... Its as the way that the expand/shrink is done, isnt the most robust. Try a new settings file and then re-enable/disable it. If it says its enabled, but its actually disabled after a new settings file, or vice versa, could someone let us know? As i cant check now as im about to go to bed. I suspect it will be something like that Reedy Boy 21:56, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Here's a log of what I did, just now: I renamed my old default settings from v4.1.2 and earlier to "Default1.xml" so that AWB would use all-new settings. Upon opening AWB, the edit toolbar was there, shown as enabled in the "General" menu, and did not interfere with the edit box. I also disabled and re-enabled the bar, with and without text in the edit box, and the bar behaved as intended. Makes me wonder what line was altered in the settings... --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 23:17, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

rev 1740 - It was added to the settings in that revision, and therefore for the 4.1.3.0 release... I wonder if AWB's just got a bit confused..? Reedy Boy 09:00, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Further update: I went back and renamed my default settings file so that AWB would pick it up upon loading. With the old settings from 4.1.2.0 and older in place, the edit toolbar briefly appears on startup (while the AWB splash screen is up) before disappearing. Although the bar is gone, "Show edit toolbar" is still checked in the "General" menu. Upon dechecking the option, the edit box "expands", adding two lines above the area of the box that is visible that cannot be scrolled to - essentially identical to Silvonen's screenshot above. After reenabling the edit toolbar, the extra two lines go away and the toolbar appears, but now, the toolbar hovers over the first two lines of the edit box. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 18:27, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

I think its probably the way the enabling/disabling and the settings are handled. Due to the lack of the entry in the settings file, its probably just taking the default, hence showing it and then it disappearing. rev 1776 - That makes sure the checked-ness is set. Reedy Boy 18:40, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Another update: I renamed my settings again so that I could load AWB with no settings. I then saved the fresh settings from 4.1.3.0 as the new default settings. However, after closing and re-opening AWB with the new settings, the results were the same as the 4.1.2.0 settings - briefly shows then disappears, even though the setting for the toolbar is present and saved (<EditToolbarEnabled>true</EditToolbarEnabled>). Since I'm not familiar at all with how AWB is coded, I dunno if this was fixed in the revision linked above or not. But I'll post this for reference either way. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 19:07, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

The above would only make a difference if you were using the SVN Version... Reedy Boy 19:22, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Nowhere I did imply that I thought it was instantly fixed. I understand what revisions are; what I said was I don't know if you fixed the bug I just described (re the 4.1.3.0 settings not making a difference) in that revision. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 19:37, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry. I'm tired. Reedy Boy 19:50, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Any chance of enlightening us to how you got the error? Reedy Boy 13:05, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Sure. When I start IRCMonitor, I get "Method not found:'Void Wiki functions.Updater..ctor()'. Button Details gives:'See the end of this message for details on invoking

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Button Continue enters IRCMonitor. From its menu File, Profiles, button "Login as selected" gives the first message formatted as an email with subject and content. Lantonov 13:36, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Removed bits of it - Not needed. Just the method =) Reedy Boy 16:18, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

The way to supress the Just In Time debugger messages:

In Internet Explorer, go to Tools --> Options --> Advanced. Make sure 'Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)' and

 'Disable Script Debugging (Other)' Are both checked. Press apply and close. 

The other error, i'll look into. If you could let us know if the above sorts one part of your error

Reedy Boy 16:22, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

The two debugging boxes in IE were checked already. The JIT error persists with boxes checked. Lantonov 06:12, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

And you have got the .NET framework installed? Reedy Boy 12:08, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Installed .NET framework before using AWB. It didn't want to start without it. I suspect something is wrong in my settings file: Default.xml. If I have a good settings file, maybe the problem will disappear. Lantonov 12:45, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

We are investigating this. You can use AWB, but you cant do any diff's atm. If you select the general menu, and then change "On load: Show changes" to one of the other options.. You can edit, just not see any diff's Reedy Boy 22:09, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Just FYI - I get this personally too. Just its going to teh wikidiff module.. Reedy Boy 23:06, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Thing is, I'm trying to append text, a Newsletter for a Wikiproject I'm part of, and it just shows up when I try to edit at all. ✗iℎi✗(talk) 01:40, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Adding a heart-felt plea for a quick fix to this one. AWB forced me to update from 4.1.2.0 this morning. Without being able to see the changes, I can't use any of the auto cleanup stuff (because I don't know what it's changing). This eliminates about 80% of the usefulness of AWB to me. :(--Fabrictramp 17:21, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Strong agree - without being able to see the diffs, this has knocked out my main use for AWB of skimming through new accounts' contributions & tagging/typo fixing/wikifying to try to prevent their good faith contribs being prodded. Even if it means going back to an earlier version of the software I'd urge a quick fix to this. — iridescent 17:35, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

The forced upgrade was to fix this ² issue... The cause of the problem relates to teh C++ Wikidiff Module... Nothings changed with it, so why its started this, we're not sure Reedy Boy 18:29, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Can we go back to the old version, at least temporary, until there's a fix? This pretty much broke AWB for me. Rocket000 22:43, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

We could try.. Whats anyone else think? The reason for the forced upgrade was to fix this ² issue causing quite a lot of problems. Nothings changed with the related code to teh wikidiff, so why this is an issue, is quite weird. Reedy Boy 11:54, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I would say yes. I don't appear to be able to use AWB for disambiguation at all in its current state. -- SteinbDJ · talk · contributions 14:58, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Please use the older version until this issue is fixed. Jogers (talk) 15:26, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, 4.1.2.0 isn't enabled and 4.1.3.0 isn't usable (for me) because of edit box problems. Any chance 4.1.2.0 can be re-enabled?--Fabrictramp 16:12, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Anyone with this issue, whoes gone back to an older version, has this solved it for you? Reedy Boy 19:40, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes! 4.1.3.0 works for me. Thanks for re-enabling it and good luck with fixing teh other bugs :) Rocket000 22:13, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Excuse the newbie questions, but (1) how do I get the previous version?, (2) How do I replace the current version with the previous version?, and (3) How do I stop the updater from automagically trying to update the previous version to the current version? Regards—G716 <^T·_C> 21:19, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

1) Downloads - [14] 2), Unzip and paste, 3) Remove the updater? Its a known/fixed bug in the older versions, just manually close it Reedy Boy 21:47, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Seems so... Same on the AWB Sandbox. "Reparsing" after the showing of the diff does fix it.. Maybe its the code order Reedy Boy 13:14, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Really if I could disable this check it would be a major step forward. Rich Farmbrough, 14:58 1 November 2007 (GMT).

I suppose the workaround would be to tell the user that it really needs monoboox, rather than because AWB doesnt think its monobook, stopping them doing anything. As you are using monobook arent you? Reedy Boy 14:26, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, somewhat surprisingly... –MDCollins (talk) 23:36, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Won;t add a category

Status	Fixed in the next release
Description	Add category doesn't work if 1st part of category name is already there as an existing category. —Moondyne 13:42, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
To duplicate:	Take Geoff Prosser for example. I want to add Category:Members of the Australian House of Representatives to his categories using the 'add category' facility. It seems that as Category:Members of the Australian House of Representatives for Forrest is already there, AWB skips article. If I change to add a category thats completely different, say Category:aaaa it doesn't skip. —Moondyne 13:42, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Was this caused by clicking login without having anything selected...? Reedy Boy 11:28, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

No... I created a list before logging in, then went File>Profiles>account>login and it gave me this (I'm pretty sure). – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 01:08, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

It doesnt seem duplicatable just by clicking on the form - If nothings selected, most of them aint enabled.. Its got to be from something such as the log uploading. If you could play around and try and duplicate it, then come back and tell us what you exactly did to duplicate it, it'd be mucho appreciado Reedy Boy 21:16, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

This seems to have disappeared. Whether an update did it, I can only guess; it was a one-time error. I'll certainly let you know if this/something similar happens again, and I'll pay more attention to exactly what caused it. – Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 02:55, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, if you could. Its easier to debug if something goes wrong processing articles, but when its like this, and hard to duplicate, its hard to fix... Marking as wontfix. Do let us know if you get it again! —Reedy Boy 12:39, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Double End of line

Status	Not a bug in AWB, has been referred
Description	If in single line mode if there is a new line after the end of the main contents. Occurred when tagging template with {{uncategorized}}. Dispenser 20:21, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
To duplicate:	Rule 1: replace="[^\r\n]*" with="" regex="true" Rule 2: replace="$" with="<noinclude>{{Uncategorized template|{{subst:DATE}}}}</noinclude>" regex="true" singlline="true"
Operating system	Windows XP
.NET FW Version	Unknown

Fixed in version	Unknown

Is it still there in 3.9.3, taking in account absence of \r's? MaxSem 10:56, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, and I've come up with a better method of duplication, two rules both advanced regex in singleline mode, replace 1: $ → \n\n\n, replace 2: $ → EoF (tested on Template:DOClink). Another work around is to remove trailing white space with \s*$ → [empty] —Dispenser 18:04, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

According to some forum conversations, this is a known .NET bug, and can be easily reproduced with Console.WriteLine(System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace("\n\n", "$", "EOF")); Changing AWB code to bypass this may be possible, but undesirable due to side effects.

unwanted orphan tag on List articles.

Status	Not a bug/currently unresolvable
Description	when performing other work on articles (using 'More...' to replace one category with another), the {{orphan|date= }} is added to articles. No criteria for this addition is explained in the Help for AWB; furthermore, adding the orphan tag to List articles (i.e., articles named 'List ...') is pretty pointless as most lists by their nature will have few links to them.
To duplicate:	check 'autotag' when using AWB on articles with few links to them.
Operating system	Windows XP
.NET FW Version	Unknown
AWB version	4.1.4.2
Workaround	turn off autotag when using AWB on list articles (and maybe lose some valid tag being added); manually delete the orphan tag when edit reviewing such articles prior to saving them (takes time)
Fixed in version	Unknown

Suppose we can check if the title includes "List", and not add the tag? —Reedy Boy 23:32, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Lists still must have at least one link to them. The tag is added only if the mainspace is empty. Therefore, this is not a bug :) -- Magioladitis (talk) 01:48, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Not auto-tagging Lists with this tag would be fine with me. Is there some rule somewhere that all articles must have a link or something bad will/should happen to them? (There are many lists that only have links from user pages--no value there.) Something else peculiar I saw is that when using AWB to replace one category with another most of the Category:Birds by country lists got tagged as orphans, but when using AWB to change some text in the same articles, only a dozen or so articles got tagged as orphans! This minimum tagging would make more sense, but not as good as no tagging, in my opinion. Thanks Hmains (talk) 04:06, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry but I really have to insist that this tag stays in AWB. When reviewing a news article I always check if it orphan or not. Tagging an article as an orphan means that someone will try find articles to link to it. Something good will happen to it :) (No article will be deleted only because it's orphan if this worries you). Moreover, if the tagged article needs no links the tag can be removed. Lists are very difficult to find if there is no link to them. Linking from user pages really is not enough. Lists are usually parts of articles or they should be. Like for example a list of Jazz musicians rally must be found via Jazz music.

The second think you mention really sound like a problem and I hope it's fixed. Friendly, --- Magioladitis (talk) 15:16, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, thanks anyway. I understand. Hmains (talk) 04:13, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

It is preferable that all articles should have links from other pages in main namespace (see Wikipedia:Orphan, Wikipedia:Build the web and Wikipedia:WikiProject Orphanage). I see no reason to make an exception for lists. If any page got incorrectly tagged please let us know. Jogers (talk) 16:59, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

\r bug in regex mode

Status	Resolved

Operating system	XP
.NET FW Version	Unknown

AWB now use Unix line ends for F&R, therefore you don't need to use \r anywhere anymore.

PS: should we filter \r out then? MaxSem 20:32, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

It should work like the diffs in Wikipedia, probably. So \r\n becomes \n and \r\r\n becomes \n\n. —Dispenser 02:35, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Filtering isn't a good idea if your sending it to the server, since \r by its self is interpreted as a newline, so ideally properly converting for the diff view. —Dispenser 18:10, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

SVN 1399 seem to break wikidiff if there is a new line added. 1396 works fine. —Dispenser 19:04, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

as I now discovered is has sth to do with "case sensitive" unchecked - that's a bug I think, look like then it assumes the \n as a string, but don't know why "case sensitive" applies to regex anyway --84.234.42.68 20:11, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Its incase you dont want to have to do all the things in upper and lower case - ie Category: [Cc][Aa][Tt][Ee][Gg][Oo][Rr][Yy], you do it however, and case insensitive will match them all Reedy Boy 20:13, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

but "CaseSensitive" affect \n somehow and I think that's the main problem, look at the regex I posted and the ABW behavior in the screen --84.234.42.68 20:43, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

why does that put the string "\n" in the article? find: ([^=]) +\n replace: $1\n --84.234.42.68 20:14, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

please agree or disagree, am I doing something wrong in that regex for removing redundant spaces from the end of the line?, because I had to stop editing for that reason --84.234.42.68 23:33, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
