zenity 3.4 broken?

bnb2235 · 2012-04-29 21:41:47

Hello,
Is zenity 3.4 broken? I use audio-convert 0.3.1 from community and an image resize script. I use both of them as Nautilus scripts. Both of these are not working with zenity 3.4. When I downgrade to zenity 3.2, both scripts work again. Anyone else have trouble? I wish I could say better where things fail, but I can't. I guess it is not interpreting an argument from the script...

The zenity calls in the image resize script all work fine for me. Perhaps it's due to Nautilus and not Zenity?

bnb2235 · 2012-04-30 09:35:09

I considered that, but if I run them from the command line, they don't work there either with zenity 3.4. With 3.2. they work fine.

Not working in what way?
What do you get if you just run those zenity commands on there own?

Another thing you can do is put

set -o xtrace

at the start of your script, which should tell you where the failure is.
If you set PS4 to '$LINENO : ' it will tell you each line no that gets executed.

I had a small problem with Zenity upgrade : It was displaying white text on a white background. It was due to the theme I was using...

It seems to not be able to detect whether or not cancel was pressed. I select a size or type and press OK. With zenity 3.4, I have to comment out the cancel check to make the scripts run.

The resize script is exiting from this code:

#if $? != 0, user click on cancel button, so exit
if [ "$?" != 0 ] ; then
	exit
fi

The output of:

+ imgsize=320x240
+ '[' 139 '!=' 0 ']'
+ exit

The audio convert script is exiting from this code:

       formatout=`zenity --title "$title" --list --column="Format" $depformat --text "$choix"`
        ###### Choix -> Sortie boucle ######
        if  [ $? != 0 ]; then
                exit 1
        fi
       [ $? -ne 0 ] && exit 2 # Annulation

Or let me phrase it another way. With the audio script, at the first dialog, I press cancel. With zenity 3.4 I get:
+ '[' 139 '!=' 0 ']'

with zenity 3.2 I get:
+ '[' 1 '!=' 0 ']'

Cancel should output the same value regarless of the zenity version (at least I would think so)

With zenity 3.4 "OK", $? returns 139
With zenity 3.2 "OK", $? returns 0

Hey bnb2235,

The cancel button in a script where I use Zenity works ok here with version 3.4. In my case I know that it's returning a "1" because my script checks for a "1" to exit.

  if [ $? = 1 ]; then
                exit
            fi

bnb2235 · 2012-04-30 22:48:58

I guess I have a very fascinating problem then, don't I? On two different computers nonetheless. I even tried getting zenity 3.4 package from a differnet repo. Same results.

skanky · 2012-05-01 08:57:59

Okay, it looks to me like it might be a zenity bug in lists.

When I try this:

zenity --title 'audio convert 0.3.1' --list --column=Format mp3 ogg flac wav --text 'extension of output file:'

I get a segmentation fault and $? = 139

If I remove the list items - mp3, ogg, etc. then I don't get the segmentation fault. I also get one when I try this from the examples section of the manual:

zenity --list --checklist --column "Buy" --column "Item" TRUE Apples TRUE Oranges FALSE Pears FALSE Toothpaste

Thank you skanky,
I thought I had a unique system here...

skanky · 2012-05-01 09:47:35

If the user clicks on OK then the selected result is returned (though it still seg faults), so the workaround (aside from downgrading) looks to me to check for a returned value, rather than $?.

I couldn't see a bug report on the zenity tracker that matched this, so I'd report it there.

Yes there is a bug - the exit code returned is 139 for cancel or ok grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - downgrading to 3.2.0-1 does solve the issue !!

Sorry, I know this thread is old, but I too am using audio-convert (love it), and the newest Zenity doesn't work. But I upgraded to 3.2.0-1 so it's ok.

Actually, i think audio-convert is like 7 years old? Maybe I should search a new program/script..
