Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)
Would anyone know why I can place
webview.init_funcs.window_decision = function (view, w) [...]in rc.lua and have it work just fine, but it won't work in mine.lua (required from rc.lua)?
What all do you have in mine.lua? And what do you mean by it won't work? Is it a silent error?

It doesn't seem to fail, or produce an error. It simply... doesn't work. It's meant to force all links that request new windows to open in a new tab instead. It works just fine if I place it in rc.lua, but rien de rien when I place it in mine.lua, which is required at the bottom of rc.lua. Just for the record, everything else in mine.lua works fine. Mysterious stuff.
Below, my entire mine.lua:
-- Global config
globals.check_filepath = false
globals.homepage = "about:blank"
search_engines.yubnub = "http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?command=%s"
search_engines.default = search_engines.yubnub
-- Lefty follow hints
local s = follow.styles
follow.style = s.sort(s.reverse(s.charset("asdfqwerzxcv")))
-- Always save browsing session, no matter what.
local close_win = window.methods.close_win
window.methods.close_win = function (w, ...)
session.save{w}
close_win(w, ...)
end
-- Open all new window requests in new tabs
webview.init_funcs.window_decision = function (view, w)
view:add_signal("new-window-decision", function (v, uri, reason)
w:new_tab(uri)
return true
end)
end
webview.init_funcs.set_win_trans = function (view, w) -- show GTK the background color
view.transparent = true
end
-- Download location configuration
downloads.default_dir = os.getenv("HOME") .. "/Downloads"
downloads.add_signal("download-location", function (uri, file)
if not file or file == "" then
file = (string.match(uri, "/([^/]+)$")
or string.match(uri, "^%w+://(.+)")
or string.gsub(uri, "/", "_")
or "untitled")
end
-- Add filetype specific handlers here
if file:find(".*%.torrent$") then
return os.getenv("HOME") .. "/.torrent/watch/" .. file
end
return downloads.default_dir .. "/" .. file
end)
print("mine.lua correctly loaded, it seems.")Fear me! I have root! Sometimes...

I tested your mine.lua with the same approach of requiring it at the bottom, and it didn't work. At least, it didn't work for the first tab. If I used the second tab, it loaded the new window link into a tab. If I moved the require line above the two default functions in rc.lua with the other require lines, it worked fine anytime. I don't know if it is a scoping issue or what (I haven't used Lua enough to know), but it seems the require line has to be in that location.

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)
Using luakit-git (although stable version is the same), I notice that history tab-completion is slow and that, after the results are shown, navigating through them is also very slow (hitting tab to select other options). Also sites with lot's of java like facebook work very slowly, but that's most likely a java issue no? How can I provide more detailed info?

I can't really see anything to justify a scoping issue, but I'm no LUA wizard either. Moving the require line fixed the issue, for whatever reason. Thanks for finding it, this had been bugging me for weeks.

I've also noticed some sluggishness recently. Also, Java =/= Javascript. The stuff on web sites is generally Javascript.

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)
I've been using Luakit for about 2 days, and I think it's generally pretty awesome, except it's quite unstable for me. Does anyone else experience any instability? Luakit for me, crashes at least 3-4 times a day.

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)
The crashes are caused by the latest libwebkit. The previous version was much more stable. Today I tried epiphany, because it uses libwebkit3. I wanted to see, if this is as unstable as libwebkit. It's not, it's much better! Libwebkit for Gtk2 is gonna be unmaintained in future releases, so this is the best timing for Luakit to switch to libwebkit3. Are there plans for this?

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)
I think moving to libwebkit3 is a great idea. In the mean time, how old of a release of libwebkit should I find+install for stability?
Edit: I've got it compiling + running with libwebkit3, gtk3 and unique-3.0, if anyone is interested. A few problems though! I'm not a C/Gtk guy so I've no doubt introduced a few bugs. Most notably, there are no scrollbars, and the command field at the bottom doesn't come up.
I haven't looked into fixing those problems too much, my main intent was to get luakit compiling with libwebkit3 etc, to see if the stability improved for me. I can still get my segfault happening, so libwebkit3 still has the same bug I'm encountering, which obviously sucks. But still, I think libwebkit3 is worth looking into for the future.

I am certainly interested, shoot me an email or fork on github and I'll set up a branch for the move to libwebkit3, gtk3 and unique-3.0 (which may actually be un-needed as it's included in gtk3 as the GtkApplication class though I haven't looked into that much yet).

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)
I was hoping that libwebkit3 is more stable, because there's one action which always causes a crash: Go on facebook, search for a person / group (whatever) and then click on one of the search results in the dropdown menu => crash. This doesn't happen with epiphany, which uses libwebkit3. @Hiram, on what sites does your browser crash?
Also, with the latest libwebkit the follow hints function got a LOT slower! I used to have a 1,7GHz single core laptop (32bit installation), now I have a 2x 2,3GHz core2duo laptop (64bit installation). On the new laptop I don't see the slowdown, I guess that's why most of you guys also don't see it, because those old weak computers aren't around that much anymore.
I'd be happy to try the branch with all the v3 dependencies.

This seems to be a luakit bug, i can reproduce it with luakit but cannot reproduce it with the gtk2 version of dwb.
But libwebkit3 is more stable since it doesn't support flash and many crashes are caused by flash.

For me it works (most time) to open in new tab. When dropdown menu appears I use dubbletap on my touchpad then wait a couple of second before changing tab.
I got two questions while I'm at it:
1) Am I the only one experience rather slow respons while tabbing through history? You know :open bbs.arch[tab][tab]... I've tried delete history and cookies without result.
2) What's the result of private browsing with luakit? The only result I'm experience is that titles is not present when :open [tab]. But visitet urls are shown both there and in :history. Is this how it's supposed to be?
At last: keep up the good work. Luakit is my favorite browser of all time, and belive me I've tried many

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)
I can reproduce this in surf, which I use for facebook (facebook is completely blocked in luakit), so I guess it's not caused by luakit. Also, this didn't happen with the version of libwebkit before the current one (v1.3.4 iirc)

That's not slow here, but what's slow is :open bbs.arch[tab][backspace] (to e.g. replace .org with .de or something like that)

It seems to be caused by webkit, but the same segfault occurs with libwebkit3. I just tested it with a minimal webkit browser and it both crashed with the gtk2 and gtk3 version. I don't why this doesn't happen with epiphany and dwb.
Edit: it seems to be webkits builtin cookie handling, if i compile dwb without cookie support it also crashes.

I've got it up here: https://github.com/nathan-hoad/luakit/tree/webkit3. I've seen, at least once, output on the terminal saying that G_IS_OBJECT returned false for a particular object, but I didn't look into it too much. I imagine it's to do with this line. Sorry I can't be of more help, I've never worked with Gtk in C!
I know for sure I've broken an event callback, which I've marked with a XXX. (line 194 in widgets/entry.c). I've noted a few things in the commit message as well. Hopefully what I've done is of help!

That's actually what my browser is crashing on! It's quite nice having a reliably reproducible bug. I guess, haha.

Yep, that's really slow too.

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)
Luakit returns "notrust" on all secure pages I visit, even though these certificates are accepted by other applications. A similar problem was reported on this thread six months ago (#585) and at luakit.org (Bug #110) but I haven't seen anything since.
Since no one else is complaining, I think I must have configured something wrong. I looked at the luakit.log but didn't see anything helpful. On this page it shows:

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)
Is anyone experiencing problems with facebook? my cpu usage spikes whenever a facebook tab is selected and it gets very slow and unresponsive. I'm using verynice, but that would affect all sites right?
Also: www.8tracks.com doesn't play any music. It works with chromium and midori.

My problem with "notrust" (comment #747) was solved by installing libgnome-keyring. I had neglected to do it. It took me a while to figure it out.

Is luakit still developed? Just wondering, since there hasn't been any action in the last weeks / months.
