Makecat failure: no members found - windows

I am trying to modify existing input cdf file to use SHA256 instead of SHA1 by adding following two lines under [CatalogHeader] section:
CatalogVersion=2
HashAlgorithms=SHA256
Executing makecat.exe now gives me following failure message even though nothing under [CatalogFiles] has changed:
Failed: CryptCATCDFEnumMembersByCDFTagEx. Last Error: 0x00000057
Failed: No members found. Last Error: 0x00000057
Failed 0x00000057 (87)
Makecat does find and hash all files if I take out two lines I added.
Can anybody give me an idea what might be going wrong here?
Here is an example cdf file for MCVE:
[CatalogHeader]
Name=MCVE.cat
CatalogVersion=2
HashAlgorithms=SHA256
[CatalogFiles]
MCVE.xml=MCVE.xml
MCVE.xml is any old xml file you can find.

I encountered the same problem but was able to get it to work by putting '< HASH >' (without spaces) in front of each file entry. Example:
[CatalogFiles]
<HASH>manifest.json=.\manifest.json
<HASH>bsi.json=.\bsi.json
However, this causes the catalog file's entries to be tagged by their hash, instead of their filename, when viewing the .cat file in Windows Explorer. You can somewhat work around this by adding a custom attribute to display the filename in the catalog entry's details, as follows:
[CatalogFiles]
<HASH>manifest.json=.\manifest.json
<HASH>manifest.jsonATTR1=0x11010001:File:manifest.json
<HASH>bsi.json=.\bsi.json
<HASH>bsi.jsonATTR1=0x11010001:File:bsi.json
The attribute type is composed of (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/seccrypto/makecat):
0x10000000: attribute is included in the catalog's hash
0x01000000: don't create a duplicated attribute with SHA1 hash (when using SHA256 and catalog version 2)
0x00010000: attribute is in plaintext, not base64
0x00000001: attribute is a keyvalue pair (e.g. File=bsi.json)
I discovered this workaround after running into the same problem as you when I found this example here: https://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~heha/viewzip.cgi/basteln/PC/USB2LPT/usb2lpt.zip/src/Makefile?auto=MAK
Hope this helps.

Can't add comments yet ---
Just wanted to say Jonathan's example with the 0x11010001 attribute works great, but PowerShell's Test-FileCatalog will still say it fails to parse the file. Using FilePath instead of File fixed this. Not sure if this is in the spec or just a powershell quirk or what, but it's what PowerShell does with New-FileCatalog.
Bonus points for not including the SHA1 hash, thanks!

Cypress file upload for negative test

I have a form that accepts a file and using cypress-file-upload, I made it to work correctly. But I also have a scenario where I need to verify an error when no file is uploaded. The package itself is validating the file is exist or not. How we can test in such case?
cy.get('input[type="file"]').attachFile();// Cannot read property 'filePath' of undefined
cy.get('input[type="file"]').attachFile(""); //missing "filePath" or "fileName".
Please make sure you are passing either "filePath" or "fileName"
cy.get('input[type="file"]').attachFile("expense1.json")//Works for the positive case
cy.get(".alert").should('be.visible').and('contain', "You poor guy did not upload a file...")
It's not clear from the question how a user would do the wrong thing and cause the alert, this is what you'd want to replicate in test.
Maybe there is no such user path, if it's just for checking some internal error occurred.
You should find out exactly what triggers the alert and test accordingly.
In this case, here's some ideas
option allowEmpty: true and cy.get('input[type="file"]').attachFile("")
make expense1.json a binary file, or an empty file, or a badly formed json (remove a bracket)
give an invalid encoding in options, encoding: 'binary' and use valid expense1.json`
give an invalid mimeType in options

Automate downloading of multiple xml files from web service with power query

I want to download multiple xml files from web service API. I have a query that gets a JSON document:
= Json.Document(Web.Contents("http://reports.sem-o.com/api/v1/documents/static-reports?DPuG_ID=BM-086&page_size=100"))
and manipulates it to get list of file names such as: PUB_DailyMeterDataD1_201812041627.xml in a column on an excel spreadsheet.
I hoped to get a function to run against this list of names to get all the data, so first I worked on one file: PUB_DailyMeterDataD1_201812041627
= Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://reports.sem-o.com/documents/PUB_DailyMeterDataD1_201812041627.xml"))
This gets an xml table which I manipulate to get the data I want (the half hourly metered MWh for generator GU_401970
Now I want to change the query into a function to automate the process across all xml files avaiable from the service. The function requires a variable to be substituted for the filename. I try this as preparation for the function:
let
Filename="PUB_DailyMeterDataD1_201812041627.xml",
Source = (Web.Contents("https://reports.sem-o.com/documents/Filename")),
(followed by the manipulating Mcode)
This doesnt work.
then this:
let
Filename="PUB_DailyMeterDataD1_201812041627.xml",
Source = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://reports.sem-o.com/documents/[Filename]")),
I get:
DataFormat.Error: Xml processing failed. Either the input is invalid or it isn't supported. (Internal error: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.)
Details:
Binary
So stuck here. Can you help.
thanks

You append strings with the "&" symbol in Power Query. [Somename] is the format for referencing a field within a table, a normal variable is just referenced with it's name. So in your example
let Filename="PUB_DailyMeterDataD1_201812041627.xml",
Source = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://reports.sem-o.com/documents/" & Filename)),
Would work.
It sounds like you have an existing query that drills down to a list of filenames and you are trying to use that to import them from the url though, so assuming that the column you have gotten the filenames from is called "Filename" then you could add a custom column with this in it
Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://reports.sem-o.com/documents/" & [Filename]))
And it will load the table onto the row of each of the filenames.

Kamailio 4.4 seturi Only Accepts Explicit Strings?

I've been working at implementing a simple serial forking described in the TM module's documentation (the Q values are stored as a priority weight in a mysql table) where my proxy is querying a database to determine to what domain to forward to.
I've verified through extensive use of xlog that a variable I'm using to build the new URI to use with seturi is getting everything correctly. I use an append_branch call in a subsequent while loop iterating over my sql query results, which doesn't have any problems with taking a very similarly formatted parameter. However, when I go to restart Kamailio it simply gripes at me that a string is expected. The line it corresponds to from console is just the seturi call. I've tried casting as a string, but that doesn't seem to be part of 4.4 (or my syntax is wrong).
I've thought about building the URI strings and storing into avp, but I suspect I'd have the same problem.
For reference, this is what I'm doing:
$var(basedest) = "sip:" + $var(number) + "#" + $(dbr(destination=>[0,0]))+ ":" + $var(port);
seturi($var(basedest));
And what it's outputting when trying to load the config:
<core> [cfg.y:3368]: yyerror_at(): parse error in config file //etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg, line 570, column 9-22: syntax error
<core> [cfg.y:3371]: yyerror_at(): parse error in config file //etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg, line 570, column 23: bad argument, string expected
Naturally, when I put $var(basedest) in double quotes, it's literally interpreted as a string. Single quotes behave similarly. Is there something I can do to work around this? When I feed it an explicit hardcoded string, it's happy as a can be and the routing works fine. When I try to do something very simple like the above, it gets upset. If possible, I'd like to avoid updating as I initially grabbed Kamailio from the yum repo.
Thanks in advance - this has been bugging me a good while.
Apparently, not a new problem. I ended up finding out what I can do to work around it.
For reference, seturi and $ru pseudo variable refer to the same thing. So basically you'd just do:
$var(mynewru) = "sip:user#domain:5060";
$ru = $var(mynewru);
This would achieve the same thing I was originally attempting to do before based on the TM module's documentation. For serial forking, issuing some number of append_branch calls is fine.

Getting multiple Configuration Values into a Command Line script

Using TeamCity 9.1.4.
I'm trying to get some server hostnames into a Command Line script with Configuration Parameters. I want each option to contain multiple hostnames.
My configuration:
vanmain => rad-ecr1,rad-ecr2,rad-ecr3,rad-myecr,rad-balancer
tor => rad2-bal,rad2-ecr1,rad2-ecr2,rad2-myecr
fvcdc => rad-fvcdc,rad-balancer
bccfa => rad-bccfa
When I select fvcdc in a build, I receive the following error message:
One of entered values 'rad-fvcdc' is not one of valid select item values: rad-ecr1,rad-ecr2,rad-ecr3,rad-myecr,rad-balancer,rad2-bal,rad2-ecr1,rad2-ecr2,rad2-myecr,rad-fvcdc,rad-balancer,rad-bccfa
How do I get the values into my script?
Dunkan,
I successfully reproduced your issue and was able to find out the root cause of it.
On my virtual installation I created a build with select type parameter, let's name it HostValue. Next, in Items field I copy/pasted values from your initial post and tried to reproduce the problem -- but executing the build was successful. Then I decided to reconfigure parameter and toggled Allow multiple checkbox, and viola, same error message as you got!
If you read small text below Value separator field, you will see, that default value is comma: , and as your values contain this symbol you got an error.
So, to solve this problem I can suggest you these variants:
If you don't need multiple choices, you can just turn off this feature and everything should work.
Replace default Value separator with custom one, for example <SEP>. Then whenever you will select multiple values for this parameter you will get something like:
"rad-ecr1,rad-ecr2,rad-ecr3,rad-myecr,rad-balancer"<SEP>"rad2-bal,rad2-ecr1,rad2-ecr2,rad2-myecr"<SEP>"rad-fvcdc,rad-balancer"
Replace comma in your values with some other separator, for example | or :. In this case it would look like:
"rad-ecr1:rad-ecr2:rad-ecr3:rad-myecr:rad-balancer","rad-fvcdc:rad-balancer"
After that you can use the value of this parameter as usual %HostValue% and parse depending on which variant you choose.
Maybe the error message from server could be a little bit clearer. Hope it will help you.
Also I would like to recommend you my plugin teamcity-web-parameters. It will allow you to create dynamic select values from external web service.
Take a look at this thread: https://teamcity-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/206843785-How-to-specify-empty-value-for-Typed-Parameter -- looks very similar to your question.

TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'pygame.Surface' objects

I am currently teaching myself game programming, and I've started nice and easy with pygame. I went through a tutorial that showed me how to build a simple game, and now that I am finished with it, I am in the process of trying to reorganize the code in a manner that makes sense to me, and also to edit it and add to it.
Part of what I tried to change is that instead of loading one '.png' file for a character, I load a list of them that will be iterated through in a 'move()' function I designed to make the characters look like they are moving. However I keep running into an error and I don't know why. Near the beginning of my code (all I've done is imported necessary modules and initialized pygame and some necessary variables) I tried to do the following code:
badguyimgs = ['badguy.png', 'badguy2.png', 'badguy3.png', 'badguy4.png']
for img in badguyimgs:
badguyimgs.append(pygame.image.load("resources/images/" + img))
badguyimgs.remove(img)
I keep getting the following error:
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'pygame.Surface' objects
So far I have tried to initialize a new variable (resource = "resources/images/" + img) and place that at the beginning of the "for" loop and then insert that into the pygame.image.load(). I've also tried using os.path.join("resource/images/" + img). I've tried using the full path name ("c:\\Users\\ . . . \\resources\\images\\" +img). But any time I try to concatenate the pathname with the file name in the list, I get the above error code. I tried looking in the pygame documentation, but didn't see anything that helped in this situation. I've tried googling the error, but get nothing in reference to this. (a lot of issues with people tring to concatenate int types to strings though. . . ) I would appreciate any help anyone could give in pointing out why I am experiencing this, and what could fix it. Thanks.
It looks like what you're doing is appending the pygame.surface object (that you loaded from a png file) to the list while you're iterating through it. You are loading the images successfully. However after your function adds the first image and removes the string, your list looks like this:
badguyimgs = ['badguy2.png', 'badguy3.png', 'badguy4.png', pygame.image]
You are still iterating through the list, so your function starts trying to concatenate the string and the pygame.surface object. I would recommend creating an empty list, and add your loaded images to that list without adding or removing anything from the original. Hope this helped!
Here's an example to go with PlatypusVenom's explanation:
file_names = ['badguy.png', 'badguy2.png', 'badguy3.png', 'badguy4.png']
images = []
for file_name in file_names:
images.append(pygame.image.load("resources/images/" + file_name))
Now the pygame.Surface objects are in images, and the variable names for the lists are less confusing. Another option is to use a list comprehension:
images = [pygame.image.load("resources/images/" + file_name) for file_name in \
("badguy.png", "badguy2.png", "badguy3.png", "badguy4.png")]
This is similar to what you were going for in the code posted. The list of strings will be removed from memory, leaving only pygame.Surface objects in the images list.
