How to reset header buffer in Lucee? - unit-testing

I am trying to write a unit test for my ColdBox application running on Lucee 4.5 using testbox for a function that includes a cfhtmlhead() call.
Unfortunately, the string that would normally be appended to the <head> section of the HTML output using that function is appended to the output of the unit test instead, causing the test to fail.
The output of cfhtmlhead() is obviously written to a special buffer. According to a blog post it is possible to clear that buffer. The example function shown there looks like this:
function clearHeaderBuffer() {
local.out = getPageContext().getOut();
while (getMetaData(local.out).getName() is "coldfusion.runtime.NeoBodyContent") {
local.out = local.out.getEnclosingWriter();
}
local.method = local.out.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("initHeaderBuffer", arrayNew(1));
local.method.setAccessible(true);
local.method.invoke(local.out, arrayNew(1));
}
Though the blog post is written for Adobe ColdFusion and it obviously doesn't work the same way in Lucee.
By dumping local.out I saw that the object has a method resetHTMLHead(). But calling that method doesn't seem to work, either (even when the related getHTMLHead() method outputs the string from the cfhtmlhead() call).
So, how to reset the header buffer in Lucee?

I found the answer by checking the Lucee sources. There the buffer is accessed via getRootOut().getHTMLHead().
So the code to clear the header buffer boils down to this:
function clearHeaderBuffer() {
getPageContext().getRootOut().resetHTMLHead();
}

uwp: How download files when app is in suspended mode

There is queue with links of files to download. I'm trying find the way to continue downloading when application goes to suspend mode.
According to official microsoft documentation suitable class for this is BackgroundDownloader, but it's handles only one current downloading process. It looks wrong to call in loop CreateDownload() method for every link without waiting for the completion of previous links, isn't right?
More logical in my opinion is using in-process background task. I see it this way:
Implement Run(IBackgroundTaskInstance) method of interface IBackgroundTask (it should stay alive even when app is suspended, right?)
Using custom event transmit the queue to the implemented method
Inside Run(IBackgroundTaskInstance) method use BackgroundDownloader (by implementing the execution of one instance at a time)
But I'm stuck even with simple implementation for one file downloading. Bellow my Run(IBackgroundTaskInstance) method implementation:
void Task::DownloaderTask::Run(IBackgroundTaskInstance ^ taskInstance)
{
TaskDeferral = taskInstance->GetDeferral();
std::wstring filename = L"Pleiades_large.jpg";
Uri^ uri = ref new Uri(ref new Platform::String(L"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4e/Pleiades_large.jpg"));
Concurrency::create_task(KnownFolders::GetFolderForUserAsync(nullptr, KnownFolderId::PicturesLibrary))
.then([this, filename, uri](StorageFolder^ picturesLibrary)
{
return picturesLibrary->CreateFileAsync(ref new Platform::String(filename.c_str()), CreationCollisionOption::GenerateUniqueName);
}).then([this, filename, uri](StorageFile^ destinationFile) {
BackgroundDownloader^ downloader = ref new BackgroundDownloader();
DownloadOperation^ download = downloader->CreateDownload(uri, destinationFile);
download->StartAsync();
}).then([this](Concurrency::task<void> previousTask)
{
try
{
previousTask.get();
TaskDeferral->Complete();
}
catch (Platform::Exception^ ex)
{
wchar_t buffer[1024];
swprintf_s(buffer, L"Exception: %s", ex->Message);
OutputDebugString(buffer);
}
});
}
The code above only creates empty file, but using the same code without BackgroundTask it works correctly. I didn't find any restrictions for BackgroundDownloader inside BackgroundTask.
So, my questions are:
Is it right way of usage BackgroundTask?
Is there another approach to solving the problem?
Is this problem solvable at all?
I've found the cause of the unexpected behavior:
The line of code TaskDeferral->Complete(); was at the end of the method at first while it should be at the end of async call.
Therefore, initial implementation (published in question) is correct.
All that had to be done was to Rebuild project.

Compiling old C++ classes under Borland C++Builder XE

Currently, I'm working on compiling old .cpp classes under C++ Builder XE. Apart from many troubles, there is one which I have completely no idea how to solve.
My code:
String txt = "<Not so long sql query>";
int licz = some_function(txt, dzeFDS); //1
//assigning licz to somewhere
txt = "<much longer query>";
licz = some_function(txt, budFDS); //2
Problem is that during second call of some_function program is stopped and i have this alert:
First chance exception at $75A1C42D. Exception class EDatabaseError with message 'budFDS: Type mismatch for field 'Function', expecting: String actual: WideString'. Process Call.exe (1896)
It's strange form be, bacause first call of some_function works fine, but this second one (with arguments with the same type) doesn't.
some_function code:
int __fastcall some_function(String txt, TIBDataSet *firDS)
{
firDS->Close();
firDS->SelectSQL->Text = txt;
firDS->Open(); //during debugging, exception occurs in this line
int count = 0;
while(!firDS->Eof)
{ count++;
firDS->Next();
}
return count;
}
Any ideas what why it happens?
Thanks in advance
There is much pain in your future.
Anyway, the problem you're having is with the database connection. There's a field in your database called "Function" that holds a string. This field came across as a String with the ancient database driver that this program originally used. Your shiny, new database driver is telling VCL to expect such things as Unicode, and VCL doesn't like to shove such things into plain Strings, so it expects you to have a WideString ready in which to shove it.
Fortunately, there are ways of beating VCL into submission. What you want to do, since you surely don't want to rewrite half the application by changing TIBDataSet, is to tell the connection not to bother with Unicode. In order to do this, you have to set up the TSQLConnection object with UseUnicode=false, which I hope (I have no way of testing VCL code anymore) should look something like this:
connection->Params->Add("UseUnicode=false");
Where connection is the TSQLConnection object. I think you have to do this before connecting to the database.
If that doesn't work, see if you can configure the database driver to not use Unicode.
Problem solved - this one field Function has other type in C++ Builder design view - it was TStringField, and rest fields has TIBStringField...

Coldfusion and SVNKit Log

I am trying to use SVNKit to get a Log of the SVN Entries in Coldfusion. I downloaded the latest SVNKit jar files and threw them in the lib folder under WEB-INF/lib.
Here is my code that should return an Array Of Log Entries but this code is returning a Null Pointer exception in Coldfusion 9.0.2.
SVNURL = createObject('java','org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNURL').parseURIEncoded(svnurl);
drf = createObject("java","org.tmatesoft.svn.core.internal.io.dav.DAVRepositoryFactory");
drf.setup();
rf = drf.create(SVNURL);
SVNWCUtil = createObject("java","org.tmatesoft.svn.core.wc.SVNWCUtil");
authManager = SVNWCUtil.createDefaultAuthenticationManager(user,pass);
rf.setAuthenticationManager(authManager);
log = rf.log(JavaCast("String[]",[]),JavaCast("null",""),JavaCast("long",10),JavaCast("long",15),true,true);
rf.closeSession();
When running this code, I receive the following Error.
The system has attempted to use an undefined value, which usually indicates a programming error, either in your code or some system code.
Null Pointers are another name for undefined values.
Which points to this line..
log = rf.log(JavaCast("String[]",[]),JavaCast("null",""),JavaCast("long",10),JavaCast("long",15),true,true);
I moved this same code over to Railo, and everything is running fine. I just cannot see why ACF is choking on the log() method.
I was using the Printing Out Repository History example on the SVNKit Wiki to start me off.
Any suggestions on getting it to work in Adobe Coldfusion would be greatly appreciated. I did not test on CF10.
I wasn't using the JavaCast("boolean",true) for the last two arguments in the log() function. After that, everything worked fine.
Got to remember to check and use JavaCast()!
log = rf.log(JavaCast("String[]",[]),JavaCast("null",""),JavaCast("long",10),JavaCast("long",15),JavaCast("boolean",true),JavaCast("boolean",true));

How to test that a file is left unchanged?

I'm testing a function that may modify a file. How do i test that it is unchanged in the cases where I want it to?
I don't want to check the content, because the file may have been overwritten with the same content, changing the modification time.
I can't really check the modification time, either. Since I like tests to be self-contained, the original file would be written just before the (non-)modification test, rendering the modification time unreliable.
You can use DI to mock your filewriter. This way you do not need the file at all, only check if the write function is called and you know if the file was modified.
I would split the function into two separate functions; the first decides whether the modification should be made, the second makes the notification. The second is only called if necessary. In pretend language:
function bool IsModificationRequired()
{
// return true or false based on your actual code
}
function void WriteFile()
{
new File().Write("file");
}
function void WriteIfModified()
{
if (IsModificationRequired())
WriteFile();
}
And test
Assert.IsTrue(IsModificationRequired());
Well assuming you are using a text file and reasonable size. Just hash the file content, if before modify and after modidfy hashcode is same then - it means the file content is not changed.
Here is the link to Algorithim Design Manual - Steve Skiena (Google Book Result)
Section 3.8
How can i convicne you that a file isn't changed ?

WebClient in C++

I'm writing a program that needs to be able to read in HTML source code into a string.
I've read about WebClient for C# but I need to write my program in C++ and I'm not sure how to do that (I've never used WebClient before).
Can anyone give me a simple C++ example program showing me how to get HTML source code into a string using WebClient? (or any better method)
Thanks.
See this page, A Fully Featured Windows HTTP Wrapper in C++:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/66625/A-Fully-Featured-Windows-HTTP-Wrapper-in-C
Sample code from that page, looks like what you want:
void ProgressTest(void)
{
// Set URL and call back function.
WinHttpClient client(L"http://www.codeproject.com/", ProgressProc);
client.SendHttpRequest();
wstring httpResponseHeader = client.GetResponseHeader();
wstring httpResponseContent = client.GetResponseContent();
}
I don't know what webclient for c# is. To read a file into a string-:
std::ifstream ifs("webpage.html");
std::string str;
str.assign((std::istreambuf_iterator<char>(ifs)),
(std::istreambuf_iterator<char>()));
