How to make GtkModelButton emit a clicked signal instead of GAction? - go

I'm trying to make a button in GtkPopover like that in Nautilus, and Nautilus uses GtkModelButton for that. The problem is GtkModelButton forces the GAction API, which I think is ugly, and I much prefer using callbacks.
I've tried using GtkButton, but it just looks completely different from GtkModelButton.
My question is, how do I make it so that GtkModelButton works with mb.Connect("clicked", ...)? If that doesn't work, what about making GtkButton to look like GtkModelButton? button.SetRelief(None) didn't really do the job.
ModelButton
ModelButton vs Relief(None) Button

It seems like this is easier than I thought. All I needed to do was to connect the handler to button-release-event!
btn, _ := gtk.ModelButtonNew()
btn.SetLabel("Click Me!")
btn.Connect("button-release-event", func() bool {
log.Println("Button pressed.")
return true
})

Wrap GoRoutine Creation to also contain pprof label

In my code there are various types of functions with a lot of user defined parameters and return types. Most of them run in parallel as go routines. In order to be able to efficiently debug them, I want to add labels.
I went through this link on using profile labels, find go routines during debugging.
However, if I do it the way they've mentioned, ie. call the desired function inside pprof.Do, then this would mean that I would have to add this redundant piece of code everywhere.
Old code:
go executeMeAsGoRoutine(arg1 sometype, arg2 sometype)
New Code based on the links above:
go func(args1 type1, args2 type2, args3 type3, args4, type4) {
labels := pprof.Labels("some label", "some more label", "args1",strconv.Itoa(int(100)))
pprof.Do(context.Background(), labels, func(_ context.Context) {
//function that was to be called.
executeMeAsGoRoutine(arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4)// Use args1 or args2
})
}(page, i)
However most of my functions have different arguments and custom return types. If I were to enhance each go routine I will have to repeat the above code everywhere. Wherever, I am calling go runThisFunctionInGoRoutine(), I'll also have to add outer anonymous go routine, followed by pprof.Labels, followed by pprof.Do everywhere. This will lead to a lot of unnecessary code repetiton. There are already so many places where there are different go routines created.
I was hoping if I could make a generic function that would WRAP the go routine creation call as well as label creation and then does pprof.Do for me.
Can someone suggest how to do that? The source of problem is that the functions that should run as go routines are different and have different arguments.
I envision some api like:
makeGoRoutineWithLabel(labels string, functionToRun, argumentsToSupply).
NOTE: functionToRun is different each time with argumentsToSupply being different as well.
Can anyone suggest how to do this without repeating the code? A generic go routine creation wrapper which also provides a provision to add labels along.
Instead of go createGoRoutine, its something like createAGoRoutineWithLabels.

Cypress: Switching from cy.route() to cy.intercept()

It seems that most people I read about experence zero trouble with this. I, on the other hand, have a test suite which someone else wrote, in which I'm trying to replace route() with intercept(). The API intercepts are done to handle button clicks etc., and about 99.9% percent of them fails if I just replace it. So, there's obviously some syntax in/use of intercept() I've not found a description for.
Example:
This works:
cy.route('POST', getApiPrefix() + '/prosjektfinansiering/'+ pfId +'/eiendom', result);
This does not work. The button click is not executed:
cy.intercept('POST', getApiPrefix() + '/prosjektfinansiering/'+ pfId +'/eiendom', result);
I've tried adding '**' in front of "/prosjekt...", and I've tried removing 'POST', with no luck.
Any ideas? I'll gladly post more info if necessary.
UPDATE:
Futher attempts:
Getting some hints here and there, it seems that this is a more correct way of using intercept():
return cy.intercept('POST', getApiPrefix() + '/prosjektfinansiering/'+ pfId +'/eiendom', {
body: result
});
This doesn't work, either.
The variables result in these examples is an object describing what is sent back to the frontend of the POST-request in the route matches the api path.
For troubleshooting, I can see that when using intercept(), there is ONE route that is not working when using intercept (the bottom one in the picture). However, I cannot for the life of me see why, and how the route match can be written differently?
Most likely, you're mixing the old use of cy.route() and cy.server(). In my experience, those two won't work well together. It's easier when you're starting fresh with just cy.intercept().
Your update is correct too; You have to encapsulate the return value you want mocked in {body: value}.
from what I am seeing in your circled screenshot, the API is not called after you try to intercept it. (the count under # column is -)
You need to track when the API is to be called and ensure you intercept before the call is made. Cypres can help you with this. You can go through the run steps in the cypress window.
You could also share this if you don't mind.
If you are 100% certain the button makes the call. Steps should be:
cy.intercept()
cy.get('button').click()
In the cypress window, right after the click, you should see the API being called.

Golang: Passing channels through empty interfaces

I'm trying to do something that seems like it should be trivial until I read up and now it seems like it should be really complex. ;-)
I've knocked up a test pattern to illustrate:
http://play.golang.org/p/Re88vJZvPT
At the most basic I'm trying to have a function that can read data from a channel and spit it out on another one. Easy. The test does this as long as you use the pusher function shown.
However the problem with this is that doing it this way I would need a different pusher function for each type of data I want to push through it.
Now I've done similar things in the past with an empty interface as nothing in the pusher code cares about what's in the data structure. What I can't figure out is when I'm dealing with channels of an un-cared-about data structure.
To illustrate the concept of what I'm trying to achieve please see the function pusher_naive_generic.
However that doesn't work either so more reading up implied the way to do it was making use of reflection and finally you see my pusher_reflect_generic function(obviously this won't achieve the same intended function as the others it's showing where I got to before getting stuck).
Which still fails because I can't get from an interface that contains a chan to the structure read from that chan.
Hopefully the code makes more sense of what I'm trying to achieve than my words actually do. I can make all of this work by explicitly coding for every type, but what I can't figure out how to do is code it for any future type.
If I have understood your question correctly, then this might be the solution:
http://play.golang.org/p/xiDO7xkoW4
func forwardChannel(i interface{}, o interface{}) {
it, ot := reflect.TypeOf(i), reflect.TypeOf(o)
if it != ot {
panic("forwardChannel: both arguments must be of the same type")
}
iv, ov := reflect.ValueOf(i), reflect.ValueOf(o)
for {
v, k := iv.Recv()
if !k {
break
}
ov.Send(v)
}
ov.Close()
}
Note that Recv, Send and Close panic if i and o are not channels.

Adding custom code to mootools addEvent

Even though I've been using mootools for a while now, I haven't really gotten into playing with the natives yet. Currently I'm trying to extend events by adding a custom addEvent method beside the original. I did that using the following code(copied from mootools core)
Native.implement([Element, Window, Document], {
addMyEvent:function(){/* code here */}
}
Now the problem is that I can't seem to figure out, how to properly overwrite the existing fireEvent method in a way that I can still call the orignal method after executing my own logic.
I could probably get the desired results with some ugly hacks but I'd prefer learning the elegant way :)
Update: Tried a couple of ugly hacks. None of them worked. Either I don't understand closures or I'm tweaking the wrong place. I tried saving Element.fireEvent to a temporary variable(with and without using closures), which I would then call from the overwritten fireEvent function(overwritten using Native.implement - the same as above). The result is an endless loop with fireEvent calling itself over and over again.
Update 2:
I followed the execution using firebug and it lead me to Native.genericize, which seems to act as a kind of proxy for the methods of native classes. So instead of referencing the actual fireEvent method, I referenced the proxy and that caused the infinite loop. Google didn't find any useful documentation about this and I'm a little wary about poking around under the hood when I don't completely understand how it works, so any help is much appreciated.
Update 3 - Original problem solved:
As I replied to Dimitar's comment below, I managed to solve the original problem by myself. I was trying to make a method for adding events that destroy themselves after a certain amount of executions. Although the original problem is solved, my question about extending natives remain.
Here's the finished code:
Native.implement([Element, Window, Document], {
addVolatileEvent:function(type,fn,counter,internal){
if(!counter)
counter=1;
var volatileFn=function(){
fn.run(arguments);
counter-=1;
if(counter<1)
{
this.removeEvent(type,volatileFn);
}
}
this.addEvent(type,volatileFn,internal);
}
});
is the name right? That's the best I could come up with my limited vocabulary.
document.id("clicker").addEvents({
"boobies": function() {
console.info("nipple police");
this.store("boobies", (this.retrieve("boobies")) ? this.retrieve("boobies") + 1 : 1);
if (this.retrieve("boobies") == 5)
this.removeEvents("boobies");
},
"click": function() {
// original function can callback boobies "even"
this.fireEvent("boobies");
// do usual stuff.
}
});
adding a simple event handler that counts the number of iterations it has gone through and then self-destroys.
think of events as simple callbacks under a particular key, some of which are bound to particular events that get fired up.
using element storage is always advisable if possible - it allows you to share data on the same element between different scopes w/o complex punctures or global variables.
Natives should not be modded like so, just do:
Element.implement({
newMethod: function() {
// this being the element
return this;
}
});
document.id("clicker").newMethod();
unless, of course, you need to define something that applies to window or document as well.

Programatically moving through a ListView in Qt (Ruby)

I'm making a small file-browser for my own use, in Ruby, and using Qt for the view. The idea is that it'll end up on my TV, where I can use the remote to move up and down and launch files.
Everything works fine, until I'm going to move the selection using the remote. I managed to set up a D-Bus service, so I'll just call the methods using LIRC.
The code I'm using for setting up the view looks like this:
#dm = Qt::DirModel.new
#sm = Qt::ItemSelectionModel.new(#dm)
#lv = Qt::ListView.new
#lv.model = #dm
#lv.selectionModel = #sm
cwd = #dm.index(#dir)
#lv.rootIndex = cwd
And then I'm unsure how to change the selection. Think I must have tried about every setIndex, setSelection and every method sounding similar, on the DirModel, ItemSelectionModel and ListView, without any luck. I've been googling and reading through the API without finding anything.
Ideally, I would have something like "moveSelectionDown" and "moveSelectionUp" that takes care of it, and making sure it wraps around correctly. But I can't seem to find anything.
Managed to fix it through the ItemSelectionModel every view apparently has.
moving up:
curIndex = #lv.currentIndex
#lv.selectionModel.setCurrentIndex(curIndex.sibling(curIndex.row-1, 0), Qt::ItemSelectionModel::ClearAndSelect)
or adding one to move down
I think you're forgetting that you have to create the ModelIndex through your model:
#dm.index(3, 0, None)
I'd try this method (Though I'm not really sure, this deselects the other cells.)
#lv.setCurrentIndex(#dm.index(3, 0, None))
I haven't used Ruby for ages, so I'm not exactly sure there's None.
