English Programming/Scripting

on my notebook i wanted to run A SCRIPT - i got errors over errors.

then i decided to install WWW-Mechanize-Firefox-0.68.tar.gz

but i run into troubles : see the following:

  Parse errors: No plan found in TAP output

From a previous post of yours I get that you need to install MozRepl in Firefox, the WWW:Mechanize:Firefox should be installed through cpan.

hello many thanks for answering

well if i want to run this script here:



#!/usr/bin/perl 
 
use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox; 
use strict; 
use warnings; 
#use Parallel::ForkManager; 
 
 
 
#my $fork = Parallel::ForkManager->new(2); 
 
#sites 
my @urls = qw(http://www.google.com http://www.yahoo.com http://www.cnn.com http://www.bing.com http://www.nbcnews.com/); 
#temp base dir 
my $temp = '/home/aaron/cgi-bin/'; 
 
for my $each (@urls){ 
    #$fork->start and next; 
    my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new(launch => 'firefox',create => 1,); 
     
    $each =~ /www\.(\w+)\.com/; 
    my $name = $1; 
    print "creating $name.png
"; 
     
     
    $mech->get($each); 
    my $png = $mech->content_as_png(undef, undef, {width => 240,height => 240}); 
     
    my $dir_name = "$temp/$name".".png"; 
    open my $file, ">", "$dir_name" or die "couldnt create $temp/$1.png"; 
    binmode $file; 
    print {$file} $png; 
     
    close $file; 
    sleep 5; # sleep some to give it a little time to make sure things compleated..... you'll need this more using fork 
     
    #$fork->finish; 
} 
print "Well All done!
"; 
#$fork->wait_all_children;

i get this error

revisited:

Installed WWW-Mechanize-Firefox and got very very bad response from terminal

guess one can refer this one here:

INSTALL - search.cpan.org

with troulbes and t-shooting.

but wait: see this: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/mozrepl/

**first review: **
This is a great addon but this version doesn’t work with firefox 8.0.
I know that they is a version that works with firefox 8.0 but i can’t find a xpi version of this version.
Is there anywhere this version in .xpi file in the Internet?
If there isn’t, can I make a .xpi version of this mozrepl version and give it into the Internet. I simply need use the mozrepl to one of my programm and I need to give it my clients in the most simply way.

**
second review**
Unfortunately I had to fall back to Version 1.1beta2. After upgrading to Version 1.1 on 12/15/2011 - Keeform (an addon to Keepass) was no longer autofilling form fields. Hey I know FF v3.6.25 is old - but comments indicate that it is still supported by MozRepl.
Updated 12/21/11 - Very Kind of the developer to respond here - and I too have re-checked/reinstalled using latest MozRepl - now under FFv.3.6.25 - with the same results. The V1.1beta2 version from GitHub works - but not the version available here. Not looking for a fix / just sharing my experience - so if someone else has the same problem - they can find a version that may works for them.

question: probably the mozrepl does not work with my version of Mozilla!?

have to check this later the day

right now i am not at home

greetings

I repacked the extension, since it wouldn’t install. Installed now, but still the same errors on RemoteObject.pm. I added the devel:perl repo, and installed some extra perl-HTML packages, but no luck.
IMHO there’s something wrong with the paths perl is searching through. Unfortunately there’s not much more I can do for you.
For example, running " perl Makefile.PL" returns


Can't locate MozRepl/RemoteObject.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.0 /usr/lib/perl5/5.16.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.16.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl . lib) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.0/Firefox/Application.pm line 4.

but when I do


/Test/WWW-Mechanize-Firefox-0.68> locate RemoteObject.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Net/DBus/RemoteObject.pm

so the needed file is there, but not in the places perl is looking for it.

Why do you think that Net/DBus/RemoteObject.pm (i.e.
Net::DBus::RemoteObject) is the same module as MozRepl/RemoteObject.pm
(i.e. MozRepl::RemoteObject)?

There’s nothing wrong with the paths perl is searching. In fact they’re
very sensible paths on opensuse as compared to some other distro.

What is wrong is either some module’s dependency list or the process
some wetware used when installing modules.

I already explained to dilbertone that the only thing I can do is think along and guess. :smiley:
