Ah, thanks! I see that if it is trying to load the docs that are in /Applications then it runs the code below, which somehow magically drops the query argument by the time safari gets it. It's not because of the space, either; when I rename "Racket v6.1.1.5" to just "r", it also doesn't work. But if I change the path to one in my home directory (just like the one you write below), then I see it works.
Puzzling. It's almost like there is special handling for /Applications instead of /Users. #lang racket (define url "file:///Applications/Racket%20v6.1.1.5/doc/search/index.html?q=xyz") (define-values (stdout stdin pid stderr control) (apply values (process*/ports (open-output-nowhere) #f (current-error-port) (find-executable-path "osascript" #f) "-e" (format "open location \"~a\"" url)))) (close-output-port stdin) On Thu, Nov 20, 2014 at 4:02 PM, Stephen De Gabrielle <spdegabrie...@gmail.com> wrote: > Is it significant that on the non-working machine running 6.1.1.5 > (perform-search "xyz") returns > file:///Applications/Racket%20v6.1.1.5/doc/search/index.html > > But my working instance running 6.1.1.5 (it is a day later build) > running (perform-search "XYX") returns > file:///Users/spdegabrielle/Library/Racket/snapshot/doc/search/index.html?q=XYX > > Is anyone else getting the same behaviour? > > S. > > > On Thu Nov 20 2014 at 12:13:51 AM Stephen De Gabrielle > <spdegabrie...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> >> This: file:///Applications/Racket%20v6.1.1.5/doc/search/index.html >> it just shows the search screen as usual - just without the >> search text. >> >> s. >> >> >> On Wed Nov 19 2014 at 11:58:01 PM Robby Findler >> <ro...@eecs.northwestern.edu> wrote: >>> >>> If you navigate to the file in the file: url, is it empty? >>> >>> Robby >>> >>> On Wed, Nov 19, 2014 at 5:52 PM, Stephen De Gabrielle >>> <spdegabrie...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> > I'm such a doofus I forgot to put it on the bug report >>> > >>> > Safari, Version 8.0 (10600.1.25.1) >>> > file:///Applications/Racket%20v6.1.1.5/doc/search/index.html >>> > >>> > OS X 10.10.1 (14B25) >>> > all updates up-to-date >>> > >>> > Welcome to DrRacket, version 6.1.1.5--2014-11-19(6c9172f/a) [3m]. >>> > Language: racket/gui; memory limit: 128 MB. >>> > >>> > the top/right popup works fine FWIW. >>> > >>> > S. >>> > >>> > >>> > On Wed Nov 19 2014 at 11:26:05 PM Robby Findler >>> > <ro...@eecs.northwestern.edu> wrote: >>> >> >>> >> You won't be surprised to learn that my machine is one of the ones >>> >> where it works. :( >>> >> >>> >> If I understand correctly, you're getting to the browser, but not >>> >> seeing the right thing in the browser?
