TextMate: Preview in Firefox without having to save document first? - refresh

Using TextMate:
Is it possible to assign a shortcut to preview/refresh the currently edited HTML document in, say, Firefox, without having to first hit Save?
I'm looking for the same functionality as TextMate's built-in Web Preview window, but I'd prefer an external browser instead of TextMate's. (Mainly in order to use a JavaScript console such as Firebug for instance).
Would it be possible to pipe the currently unsaved document through the shell and then preview in Firefox. And if so, is there anyone having a TextMate command for this, willing to share it?

Not trivially. The easiest way would be to write the current file to the temp dir, then launch that file.. but, this would break any relative links (images, scripts, CSS files)
Add a bundle:
Input: Entire Document
Output: Discard
Scope Selector: source.html
And the script:
#!/usr/bin/env python2.5
import os
import sys
import random
import tempfile
import subprocess
fname = os.environ.get("TM_FILEPATH", "Untitled %s.html" % random.randint(100, 1000))
fcontent = sys.stdin.read()
fd, name = tempfile.mkstemp()
print name
open(name, "w+").write(fcontent)
print subprocess.Popen(["open", "-a", "Firefox", name]).communicate()
As I said, that wont work with relative resource links, which is probably a big problem.. Another option is to modify the following line of code, from the exiting "Refresh Browsers" command:
osascript <<'APPLESCRIPT'
tell app "Firefox" to Get URL "JavaScript:window.location.reload();" inside window 1
APPLESCRIPT
Instead of having the javascript reload the page, it could clear it, and write the current document using a series of document.write() calls. The problem with this is you can't guarantee the current document is the one you want to replace.. Windows 1 could have changed to another site etc, especially with tabbed browsing..
Finally, an option that doesn't have a huge drawback: Use version control, particularly one of the "distributed" ones, where you don't have to send your changes to a remote server - git, mercurial, darcs, bazaar etc (all have TextMate integration also)
If your code is in version control, it doesn't matter if you save before previewing, you can also always go back to your last-commited version if you break something and lose the undo buffer.

Here's something that you can use and just replace "Safari" with "Firefox":
http://wiki.macromates.com/Main/Howtos#SafariPreview

Open the Bundle Editor (control + option + command + B)
Scroll to the HTML Bundle and expand the tree
Select "Open Document in Running Browser(s)"
Assign Activation Key Equivalent (shortcut)
Close the bundle editor

I don't think this is possible. You can however enable the 'atomic saves' option so every time you alt tab to Firefox your project is saved.
If you ever find a solution to have a proper Firefox live preview, let us know.

Navigate to the file from output in the terminal - WebStorm

Is it possible to tune WebStorm so that when I have something like this in my terminal window, then I just click on the filename and jump to it.
Not possible using built-in terminal (please vote for IDEA-118566 and IDEA-154439).
Awesome Console plugin might be a solution; but it doesn't support built-in terminal (https://github.com/anthraxx/intellij-awesome-console/issues/23)
there is also Output Link Filter plugin that provides similar functionality, but it looks outdated and (also) doesn't work in built-in terminal
Update (2022): IDEA-118566 is already fixed, links should work. Please note that providing links for particular output needs adding specific logic handing such output. Thus, if you encounter missing links in a particular output, please file a separate issue request describing link output format and steps to reproduce such output.
Webstorm does in fact now have this functionality.
Note that the bug about this functionality being missing (linked in another answer) has been marked as fixed: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-118566.
It's not quite a single click solution, but what I do, is double click the text so that it auto selects and copies the path, including line and char numbers to clipboard. Then use the shortcut for Goto File.... Hit paste (cmd+v) then Enter and it will take you to the exact location.
For me, the shortcut for Goto File... is cmd+shift+O - you can check your shortcut in the menu Navigate -> File...
You can use the following format to output text in the terminal via console.log and the path will be clickable:
at ($FILE_FULL_PATH:$LINE_NUMBER:$SYMBOL_NUMBER)
Example with the full path to the file:
at (/home/ubuntu/project/index.js:12:55)
However, if you're running WebStorm with exact file path's project's folder, you can use the following format:
at (./project/index.js:12:55)
I installed Awesome Console plugin and with this plugin, all files and links in the console and terminal will be highlighted and can be clicked. Source code files will be opened in the IDE, other links with the default viewer/browser for this type.
You can jump to files from the terminal with left click
Just select file path (dblclick) & press "shift" twice (search everywhere) & press "enter"...

How to undo move files from filezilla

I have one problem about filezilla. I accidentally move one folder to wrong directory, so it shows the errors when I view my website.
How can I solve it? Please help me.
Many thanks in advance for your answer.
You cannot undo, but you should understand why that happened and how to prevent that from happening again in the future.
This happened because Filezilla allows Drag-and-drop move functionality on both folders (directories) and files, very dangerous on production servers.
There is actually a feature-request for 11 years now, please add your vote to the list to get this done: https://trac.filezilla-project.org/ticket/2191
In the mean time, please consider using another software that allows the user to set this behavior as an option:
WinSCP: http://winscp.net/eng/docs/screenshots
WS-FTP Pro: https://trac.filezilla-project.org/attachment/ticket/2191/ws_ftp-professional-options.gif
EDIT: Filezilla team responded (sort of) to the feature request and you can block drag and drop in the xml config file. It's better than nothing.
You cannot undo ftp moves. The only way to rectify the problem is to manually move the folder to it's original location.
I suggest you be more careful from next time.
If you don't know where the folder belongs, download the x-cart script package and check where the directory belongs.
Sorry for late, but I am up to date. I get logs from filezilla of moved files.
Status: Renaming '/var/www/html/brb/abc.js' to '/var/www/html/brb/node_modules/abc.js'
Status: /var/www/html/brb/abc.js -> /var/www/html/brb/node_modules/abc.js
Status: Renaming '/var/www/html/brb/xyz.html' to '/var/www/html/brb/node_modules/xyz.html'
Status: /var/www/html/brb/xyz.html -> /var/www/html/brb/node_modules/xyz.html
I write script in js to build command
let x = ['/var/www/html/brb/abc.js -> /var/www/html/brb/node_modules/abc.js',
'/var/www/html/brb/xyz.html -> /var/www/html/brb/node_modules/xyz.html'];
let cmd = [];
x.forEach(p => {
let path = p.split('->');
cmd.push(`mv ${path[1]} ${path[0]}`);
})
console.log(cmd);
Output:
['mv /var/www/html/brb/node_modules/abc.js /var/www/html/brb/abc.js'
'mv /var/www/html/brb/node_modules/xyz.html /var/www/html/brb/xyz.html']
Use any editor like vscode etc and remove string quotes and execute command in server terminal etc
mv /var/www/html/brb/node_modules/abc.js /var/www/html/brb/abc.js
mv /var/www/html/brb/node_modules/xyz.html /var/www/html/brb/xyz.html
A simple answer is,
Copy the folder into the desired location and then delete from the current location where you moved it mistakenly.
Now, what if you overwrite a file.
I just edited a file in local, then downloaded the file from my server into the local, and my all the local updated data is gone. There seems no solution of this, but there may be one possibility, I may be the lucky enough that this is my case.
If you were working on that local file, so most probably it is opened in your browser. Do not refresh it. Copy the content one by one, and update the file again. You can also open developers tools of both old and new page. Compare them line by line and do the job.
I had the same issue and resolved it manually.
The log panel was helpful in this. It is the large panel below the connection form in the top menu.
From that log panel, I was able to figure out all the files which were moved with their current and previous location.
I copied those all log lines and paste them somewhere in notepad and then manually selected all files and move those all at once to their original directory.

How do I create text file for Confluence and then import it as a Confluence wiki page?

Here is what I want to accomplish:
I am writing a script which will parse some source code, extract some comments that I want it to extract and I will store this text in a text file.
I want to write another script that uses the content of this text file to be programatically transformed into a Confluence wiki-page.
Please tell me the best way to do this. I already saw this
I felt that I could change the input in the above example to take input from text file and update contents of Confluence page. But, I am not sure how it will be formatted. If I have to format it, what do I need to do?
Thanks in advance!
As an alternative to XML-RPC you can use the integrated WebDAV plugin.
Write a script that creates a directory in the selected space.
The directory name will be the page name. After creating the directory a text-file with the same name (with .txt extension) will be created in the directory which holds the content of the page
let your script edit this file in insert the content of your text-file.
Information about the usage of the plugin:
Configuring a WebDAV client for Confluence
Confluence WebDAV Plugin
Troubleshooting WebDAV
I Also saw the code you are referring to. I tweaked it a bit a produced the following code that me help you for the second part of your question.
My code creates a new space and also a new page from a text file that is inserted in the previously created space.
import sys
import xmlrpc.client
import os
import re
# Connects to confluence server with username and password
site_URL = "YOUR_URL"
server = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy(site_URL + "/rpc/xmlrpc")
username = "YOUR_USERNAME"
pwd = "YOUR_PASSWORD"
token = server.confluence2.login(username, pwd)
# The space you want to add a page to
spacekey = "YOUR_SPACENAME"
# Retrives text from a file
f = open('FileName.txt', 'r')
content = f.read()
f.close()
# Creates a new page to insert in the new space from text file content
newpage = {"title":"NEW_PAGENAME", "space":spacekey, "content":content}
server.confluence2.storePage(token, newpage)
server.confluence2.logout(token)
For your formatting issues, html is supported, but I have not quite figured out how to use CSS styles other than inline (everthing else does not seem to work).
These styles work when you write them with the HTML macro inside Confluence, but from the remote API, it does not seem to behave the same way.
UPDATE :
You can use the {html} macro to include your html by using :
content = server.confluence2.convertWikiToStorageFormat(token, content)
You can also specify your CSS in your global CSS stylesheet.
Another option is to develop a plugin to include a CSS resource :
https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Creating+a+Stylesheet+Theme
I have tried this way and works petty well for me:
I used a Java program to created a programmatic client to create the dynamic content. This created a HTML document out of my plain text.
I used a RPC client connected to Confluence to uploaded it as a new page.
Your html will be preserved. But if you want to add CSS or JS/JQuery etc on top of your html you will need to create a Macro and enable it for the Particular page. This feature is not available in Confluence OnDemand.

Basics of writing plugins for Jedit

Can anyone direct me to a tutorial on writing plugins for Jedit? I have a pipedream of using Jedit as an editor for SAS. Currently, it does syntax highlighting, but I feel it is or could be made better by fleshing out the ideas better.
A couple questions:
Can you enable tab completion in Jedit?
Can you specify "environments" that begin and end with certain syntax? (For instance, the word "keep" makes sense between the lines data xxx; and run; but not between proc sort data=xxx; and run; So highlighting it there would be counter-instructive to inexperienced coders.
Can you store variables in a work place and reference them from a drop down menu (such as variable names in a dataset)
Can you execute code from the shell/terminal and pipe .log files back into the Jedit message window?
Are you talking about something like Microsoft's Intellisense or autocomplete? If so, a poor-man's approximation to auto-complete is to use the keyboard shortcut ctrl+b after typing in part of the word. It will complete the word based on all the words from all buffers that are open. See this questions for more on autocomplete.
In your syntax highlighting, you can create delegate syntax for different chunks of code so that it will be highlighted according to different rules. grep in your jedit's mode directory for "delegate".
Not exactly sure what you want, but jedit does keep track of a bunch of your latest copies from the text. Emacs calls this a "kill ring". For my jedit setup, I have Paste Previous... bound to ctrl+e ctrl+v. I believe that is the default shortcut binding. This will show you your last ~20 copies of text chunks and you can select which copy text chunk you want to use.
Yes, you can execute tasks in the shell and pipe them back into jedit. See this question. The following is how I do bk edit and reload a buffer. It doesn't get output from the shell, but it does execute a shell command:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import java.io.File;
File f = new File(buffer.getPath());
String SCCS_path = f.getParent()+"/SCCS";
String bk_path = "/usr/local/bin/bk";
if ( !new File(SCCS_path).exists()) {
bk_path = "/usr/bin/bk";
}
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
bk_path+ " edit "+
buffer.getPath());
Thread.currentThread().sleep(2000);
buffer.reload(view);
Btw, macros are very powerful in jedit. You can record what you are doing in jedit with Macros->Record Macro...and it will generate the equivalent script.

How set a website as homepage in IE, Firefox, Chrome and Safari with C++?

Is there a way to set a website like google.com as homepage through C++ or C ? How ?
Not sure what your motive is, but I don't think of this as something I want any code on my system to be setting out from under me. It sounds like the kind of thing adware/malware would do to your grandparents (who wouldn't know how to fix it once it's set). Note the negative comments when the question was asked of how to do it from JavaScript:
How can I set default homepage in FF and Chrome via javascript?
It's better to point people at instructions for doing it themselves. Remind with a banner which says "Make us your homepage!", and link to something along these lines:
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-change-your-homepage-in-5-browsers/
If not for the aesthetic reasons, there are technical reasons not to try and write code for it. Each browser stores this information in its own place. In IE's case, there appears to be a registry setting:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page
So you'd use calls to the Windows Registry API to query it and set it. But Firefox doesn't save this in the registry, it saves it in something called prefs.js and you'll be looking for:
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", .... );
Then there's Opera, Safari, Chrome, etc. All told, better to just give people directions and put them in control of their experience!
Imports Microsft.Win32
...
Module Util
Sub SetHomePage(Dim theUrl As String)
Registry.SetValue("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main", "Start Page", theUrl)
End Sub
End Module
Yes.
Find the way each browser saves its configuration to disk and edit that (*). It may be a file, or records in a database, or some data in a central registry, or some other scheme --- the browser documentation should tell you.
To open/read/write/save/close a file, the C functions declared in the header <stdio.h> may be helpful.
(*) for Firefox it's a file named "prefs.ini" in a directory somewhere under the users home path; there may be more than 1 such file if the user has more than 1 profile.
