2010-01-24gitweb.js: Workaround for IE8 bugLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-1/+6
In Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) the 'blame_incremental' view, which uses JavaScript to generate blame info using AJAX, sometimes hang at the beginning (at 0%) of blaming, e.g. for larger files with long history like git's own gitweb/gitweb.perl. The error shown by JavaScript console is "Unspecified error" at char:2 of the following line in gitweb/gitweb.js: if (xhr.readyState === 3 && xhr.status !== 200) { Debugging it using IE8 JScript debuger shown that the error occurs when trying to access xhr.status (xhr is XMLHttpRequest object). Watch for xhr object shows 'Unspecified error.' as "value" of xhr.status, and trying to access xhr.status from console throws error. This bug is some intermittent bug, depending on XMLHttpRequest timing, as it doesn't occur in all cases. It is probably caused by the fact that handleResponse is called from timer (pollTimer), to work around the fact that some browsers call onreadystatechange handler only once for each state change, and not like required for 'blame_incremental' as soon as new data is available from server. It looks like xhr object is not properly initialized; still it is a bug to throw an error when accessing xhr.status (and not use 'null' or 'undefined' as value). Work around this bug in IE8 by using try-catch block when accessing xhr.status. Signed-off-by: Jakub Narebski <jnareb@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-11-25gitweb.js: fix padLeftStr() and its usageLibravatar Stephen Boyd1-5/+5
It seems that in Firefox-3.5 inserting &nbsp; with javascript inserts the literal &nbsp; instead of a space. Fix this by inserting the unicode representation for &nbsp; instead. Also fix the off-by-one error in the padding calculation that was causing one less space to be inserted than was requested by the caller.

2009-11-25gitweb.js: Harden setting blamed commit info in incremental blameLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-1/+6
Internet Explorer 8 stops at beginning of blame filling with the following bug: "firstChild is null or not an object" at this line: a_sha1.firstChild.data = commit.sha1.substr(0, 8); It is (probably) caused by the fact that while a_sha1 element, which looks like this: <a href=""> </a> It has a firstChild which is a text node containing only whitespace (single space character) in other web browsers (Firefox 3.5, Opera 10, Google Chrome 3.0), IE8 clobbers DOM, removing trailing/leading whitespace. Protect against this bug by creating text element if it does not exist.

2009-11-19gitweb.js: fix null object exception in initials calculationLibravatar Stephen Boyd1-2/+5
Currently handleLine() assumes that a commit author name will always start with a capital letter. It's possible that the author name is user@example.com and therefore calling a match() on the name will fail to return any matches. Subsequently joining these matches will cause an exception. Fix by checking that we have a match before trying to join the results into a set of initials for the author.

2009-09-01gitweb: Create links leading to 'blame_incremental' using JavaScriptLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-0/+34
The new 'blame_incremental' view requires JavaScript to run. Not all web browsers implement JavaScript (e.g. text browsers such as Lynx), and not all users have JavaScript enabled. Therefore instead of unconditionally linking to 'blame_incremental' view, we use JavaScript to convert those links to lead to view utilizing JavaScript, by adding 'js=1' to link. Currently the only action that takes 'js=1' into account is 'blame', which then acts as if it was called as 'blame_incremental' action. Possible enhancement would be to do JavaScript redirect by setting window.location instead of modifying $format and $action in git_blame_common() subroutine. The only JavaScript-aware/using view is currently 'blame_incremental'. While at it move reading JavaScript to git_footer_html() subroutine. Note that in this view we do not add 'js=1' currently (even though perhaps we should; note that for consistency we should also add 'js=1' in links added by JavaScript part of 'blame_incremental'). This idea was originally implemented by Petr Baudis in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/47614 but it added <script> element with fixBlameLinks() function in page header, to be added as onload event using 'onload' attribute of HTML 'body' element: <body onload="fixBlameLinks();">. This version adds script at then end of page (in the page footer), and uses JavaScript 'window.onload=fixLinks();'. Also in Petr version only links marked with 'blamelink' class were modified, and they were modified by replacing "a=blame" by "a=blame_incremental"... which doesn't work for path_info links, and might replace wrong part if there is "a=blame" in project name, ref name or file name. Slightly different solution was implemented by Martin Koegler in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/47902/focus=47905 Here GitAddLinks() function was in gitweb.js file, not as contents of <script> element. It was also included in page header (in <head> element) though, which means waiting for a script to load (and run). It was smarter in that to "fix" (modify) link, it split URL, modified value of 'a' parameter, and then recreated modified link. It avoids trouble with "a=blame" as substring in project name or file name, but it doesn't work with path_info URL/link in the way it was written.

2009-09-01gitweb: Colorize 'blame_incremental' view during processingLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-3/+105
This requires using 3 colors, not only two, to choose a color that is different from colors of up to 2 neighbors. gitweb.js selects the least used color, if more than one color is possible. Signed-off-by: Jakub Narebski <jnareb@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-09-01gitweb: Incremental blame (using JavaScript)Libravatar Jakub Narebski1-0/+726
Add 'blame_incremental' view, which uses "git blame --incremental" and JavaScript (Ajax), where 'blame' use "git blame --porcelain". * gitweb generates initial info by putting file contents (from "git cat-file") together with line numbers in blame table * then gitweb makes web browser JavaScript engine call startBlame() function from gitweb.js * startBlame() opens XMLHttpRequest connection to 'blame_data' view, which in turn calls "git blame --incremental" for a file, and streams output of git-blame to JavaScript (gitweb.js) * XMLHttpRequest event handler updates line info in blame view as soon as it gets data from 'blame_data' (from server), and it also updates progress info * when 'blame_data' ends, and gitweb.js finishes updating line info, it fixes colors to match (as far as possible) ordinary 'blame' view, and updates information about how long it took to generate page. Gitweb deals with streamed 'blame_data' server errors by displaying them in the progress info area (just in case). The 'blame_incremental' view tries to be equivalent to 'blame' action; there are however a few differences in output between 'blame' and 'blame_incremental' view: * 'blame_incremental' always used query form for this part of link(s) which is generated by JavaScript code. The difference is visible if we use path_info link (pass some or all arguments in path_info). Changing this would require implementing something akin to href() subroutine from gitweb.perl in JavaScript (in gitweb.js). * 'blame_incremental' always uses "rowspan" attribute, even if rowspan="1". This simplifies code, and is not visible to user. * The progress bar and progress info are still there even after JavaScript part of 'blame_incremental' finishes work. Note that currently no link generated by gitweb leads to this new view. This code is based on patch by Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> patch, which in turn was tweaked up version of Fredrik Kuivinen <frekui@gmail.com>'s proof of concept patch. This patch adds GITWEB_JS compile configuration option, and modifies git-instaweb.sh to take gitweb.js into account. The code for git-instaweb.sh was taken from Pasky's patch.
