luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)

bratmaxe · 2012-06-07 09:22:26

I don't use a dark theme, so I can not reproduce this, but there were similar reports earlier in this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p1020840
Maybe using a custom css file like the one in the post I linked above can solve this.

HI and thanks, yea I had seen similar to this but not with the ubuntu firefox cure, I through that code in the custom css and it helped with some "instances" of textboxes but not all and the other controls no at all. I also tried a script that was on the lua site for adding a method to my global domain properties. I think the code is old because it just pops the browser. I looked into the referenced lua file "webview" and those method were not there. I am using jit so possibly they may have changed the objects. The script it self is on the now deprecated lua help sectoin but they haven't built the new one yet. So I will play with the custom css but hopefully someone has the answer. If I find it I will post it/

thanks for your post and in advance for anyone who has the css that will do it.

it also seems to have effected some of the buttons, but not the radios, checks or selects

Hey Archers,

Long time no update but I've been working on something interesting I'd like to share.

In the `jquery-and-downloads` branch I've made the necessary modifications to allow users to pass JavaScript values (objects, arrays, numbers, bools, ...) to registered Lua functions and conversely the Lua functions can return values (tables, numbers, strings, bools, ...) to the JavaScript caller. It is also possible to catch Lua errors in JavaScript and catch JavaScript exceptions in Lua. Quite easy actually.

And with that I've also included a minified version of jQuery into luakit for use by our internal luakit:// pages. I've only started work on the luakit://downloads page so far but the plan is to leverage this new power to fix the problems with all of them (I.e. use of generic functions, one-way-communication, horrible looks).

But I would like some feedback, suggestions and some more eyes on the code before I merge the changes into develop (and the next release).

And here's a sneak peek of what I'm working on today http://i.imgur.com/Yr2py.png

Thanks, I'll be back in these forums, github and IRC if you've got ideas, suggestions, patches, etc.

Toodles.

P.S. I've also begun writing unit tests for the C-API using lunit. You can run these tests yourself with `make run-tests`.

I have to say: Very interesting. That looks sleek. It will be great that we can extend it with nice extensions since we can use javascript. But we hope luakit will always stay as it is meaned to be: lightweight and sexy

1. minor lag. when i load a page, loading pauses at 10% for a moment and then resumes. does anyone else have this problem?

2. some sites, e.g., grooveshark, are problematic, causing slowdowns.

3. sometimes i want to open a link in the current tab, but sometimes i want to open a link in a new tab in the background (essentially left-click vs. middle-click). is there a way to have two different hinting methods?

I expirience the same problem with lastest development build also luajit is enabled.

Are you using privoxy? Is the problem only in the latest version? (I haven't noticed it) and what webkit version are you using?

Asmir · 2012-06-10 17:24:11

Not privoxy, but squid with adzapper (ad filter). Which seems not to be the problem, since it's same with none proxy.
And no it's not only the last version, but I can't clearly remember when it started though, since it's not such a big problem so I didn't pay much attention.
I'm using libwebkit 1.8.1-1 form default Archlinux repo.

EDIT:
Here i made a short screen cast which describes it better.
As you see the CPU usage remains normal (now a little bigger because of screen recording), and there's fast no delay on lightweight sites like google.com.
I also use dns cache and I measured dns query time, which is about 2msec, so it'snot dns. And because google.com loads fast I asume it's not connection issue.

I have problem when working with google docs. Weird behaviour when editing. Anyone has the same problem ?

ri · 2012-06-10 20:02:52

Sometime when I try to scroll pages with space, PgUp/PgDn etc. I get a error.

Error: In bind call: /home/richard/.config/luakit/webview.lua:317: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'p' (a nil value)

I use a default webview.lua and here is the error section:

webview.scroll_parse_funcs = {
    -- Abs "100px"
    ["^(%d+)px$"] = function (_, _, px) return px end,

    -- Rel "+/-100px"
    ["^([-+]%d+)px$"] = function (s, axis, px) return s[axis] + px end,

    -- Abs "10%"
    ["^(%d+)%%$"] = function (s, axis, pc)
        return math.ceil(s[axis.."max"] * (pc / 100))
    end,

    -- Rel "+/-10%"
    ["^([-+]%d+)%%$"] = function (s, axis, pc)
        return s[axis] + math.ceil(s[axis.."max"] * (pc / 100))
    end,

    -- Abs "10p" (pages)
    ["^(%d+%.?%d*)p$"] = function (s, axis, p)
        return math.ceil(s[axis.."page_size"] * p)
    end,

    -- Rel "+10p" (pages)
    ["^([-+]%d+%.?%d*)p$"] = function (s, axis, p)
        return s[axis] + math.ceil(s[axis.."page_size"] * p)   <------------------------------------ line 317
    end,
}

Anyone who knows what's wrong?

nope, no privoxy. i've always had this problem (since 2011.07.22-3, i believe). i figured that it was just a luakit issue.

i have libwebkit 1.8.1-1 and qtwebkit 2.2.2-1 installed.

bratmaxe · 2012-06-17 15:27:40

hi @ mason

In the latest commit of the development-branch, you forgot to change the lines 87,88 in binds.lua (the mouse scroll binds) accordingly. I don't have an account on github, that's why I wrote it here No big issue anyway

Hey,

I just started playing around with this browser and whilst still learning and poking around, I bumped into an issue. I searched for the issue on Luakit's Github page but couldn't find it:

I can't login into my Hotmail account. When I type in my email and password (both are correct), it will just reload the login page (without entered data).

Thoughts? Should I open an issue for this @ Github?

Army · 2012-06-23 14:55:02

Looks like cookies aren't allowed. Do you have a custom rc.lua? If so, what changes did you make?

bratmaxe · 2012-06-23 14:58:56

In luakit-git (aka development-version) there has been an issue with cookies lately. But this was fixed (at least for me) with the most recent commit. So if you use luakit-git from AUR, then try to rebuild the package.

I haven't touched that file yet, I only copied it to ~/.config/luakit
I found this in that file:

-- Block all cookies by default (unless whitelisted)
--cookies.default_allow = false

Should I uncomment that and change it to true?

@Bratmaxe, I'm using the one from [community]

Army · 2012-06-23 15:32:27

Do you use a proxy?

Nope

Army · 2012-06-23 22:04:39

Ok, then I have no idea... Maybe try luakit-git and see if the behavior changes or not.

Unia · 2012-06-23 22:17:08

^ So I shouldn't have to uncomment the lines I posted above? AFAIK it's currently set to block all cookies?

Army · 2012-06-24 06:39:39

Afaik luakit allows all cookies by default, so if the cookie blocker isn't active then all cookies should be allowed. But of course you can try to set it to true! Just try it out!

Asmir · 2012-06-26 11:07:27

Hi,
Is there a way to have flash elements blocked but to be able to enable specific element by clicking on it?

Thanks.

Army · 2012-06-26 15:49:04

You can put this in your rc.lua

require "noscript"
noscript.enable_scripts = false
noscript.enable_plugins = false

and then you can enable scripts for the current website with ',ts' and plugins with ',tp'. There's no clickable activation afaik.

Asmir · 2012-06-26 16:57:32

I'll do it. Thanks Army.
