Re: [Catalyst] Where is the form field lost?
From: Charlie Garrison garri...@zeta.org.au Can you tell about those problems? I hope I won't create them in the inflator I want to create. I don't recall exactly, but IC::File had problems with multiple 'file' columns. I remember, the delete part was completely broken if all files were not in the same directory. I was trying to patch IC::File so that deleting would work; I was advised to use IC::FS rather than trying to fix IC::File. (I don't recall who said that, sorry.) If I remember well, the algorithm for deletion made a single deletion and then did a last() thinking that if one file was deleted, all the files were deleted. I think there was a little comment there that tells that. Although I didn't need to store the files in different dirs, I've noticed that that piece of code won't work in case of more directories used, however I don't think it is so hard to patch it for solving that issue. Thank you for the code you sent. I will analyse it better to see if I can use another way, but what I would like to avoid is exactly to need writing too much code like this in order to use the module, so I don't want to need writing those wrappers for each file column nor a separate subroutine that provides the file name. But maybe I will be able to create one in the inflator... However I am not sure the way InflateColumn::FS works is compatible with HTML::FormFu. I think a better way would be the style used by InflateColumn::File eventually with a more flexible storage, or InflateColumn::FS should be changed so it should get the ID of the row after it is stored in the DB. But in the second case, I don't know how I could store the real file name and the random path to the file without using more fields in the table. Anyway, back to the main issue, the biggest problem is HTTP::Body steals the file upload fields if no files were attached.

I hope I won't create them in the inflator I want to create. Not only did InflateColumn::FS resolve my main issue; it also fixed a couple of frustrating niggles. I found InflateColumn::FS to be more robust all around. I have also tried InflateColumn::FS but the thing I don't like is that it creates random directories and this is good from a security point of view, but for ease of use I like the way InflateColumn::File create the target dirs. With InflateColumn::File the original file name is also used when it is stored on the disk, and I just need to put a link to that static file, without needing to create a column for storing the MIME type of the file and without needing to use code for getting the file and giving it to those that request it. If it is possible to do that with InflateColumn::FS, please tell me. If you're going to upload an HTML::FF inflator module tp CPAN, I suggest making it work with InflateColumn::FS instead (or at least in addition to InflateColumn::File). I have tried that with InflateColumn::File, but without success, but in any case, the most important changes were to make it work with HTML::FormFu and to be able to do all the operations to the file (add/modify/delete), and for beeing able to also do the delete, I need to be able to get the file upload field even if it is empty.

[Catalyst] Getting the file upload fields
Hi, I have seen that after a form that contains a file upload field is submitted, I can't access the name of that field if it was sent empty (no file was submitted). I have tried to override more Catalyst methods like prepare_body_parameters, prepare_uploads, finalize_uploads, and even finalize_body and in each of them I tried to get the list of parameters using $c-req-params and $c-req-uploads. I've seen that the field is submitted to the server even if it is empty and it looks like: Content-Disposition: form-data; name=file; filename= Content-Type: application/octet-stream In the application I need to know which are the file upload fields that were sent, even if they are empty. Does anyone know how I can find this? Thank you.

Re: [Catalyst] Building complex layouts
From: Pavel O. Karoukin pa...@yepcorp.com
Hello,
I wonder what is a best practice to build complex layouts (sidebars, forms
in 'em, list of latest news in sidebar, etc)?
Right now I see it in chaining several actions and each one adding content
into stash. Is there any other dry approaches?
May be there is a way to separate each element of layout into it's own
action + template and call this from base template?
You can do:
sub main_action : Path {
my ($self, $c) = @_;
$c-forward('action1');
$c-forward('action2', ['arg1', 'arg2']);
#...
}
sub action1 : Private {
my ($self, $c) = @_;
#Get the content, eventually get/put it in/from the cache, and stuff it in
the stash
$c-stash(first_component = $content);
}
sub action2 : Private {
my ($self, $c, $arg1, $arg2) = @_;
# Same as previous
}
The template of the main_action will be able to use
$c-stash-{first_component} or other variables you will put in the stash.
The results of the private subroutines can be used in more public actions,
can be cached individually and their content can be created using their own
templates, with a code like:
my $body_of_the_action = $c-view('TT')-render($c, 'path/to/template.tt');

[Catalyst] Accessing $self in a plugin?
Hi,
I use Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu but in some actions I don't want to
use the FormConfig attribute because it would automaticly generate and
process a form, which takes much time. I want to do that only if the already
generated template and data was not found in the cache.
But instead of writing each time
my $form = $self-form;
$form-load_config_filestem('path/to/config_file');
$form-process;
$c-stash-{form} = $form;
I would prefer to write a plugin, and write only something like:
$c-ff('path/to/config_file');
First, is this correct? (or it might appear some issues). I know that the
plugins are not recommended, but it is not a Catalyst plugin for public use,
but only one for my app.
And if it is ok, is it possible to get $self in the plugin in order to do
$self-form?
Or I will need to send it explicitly using:
$ff($self, 'path/to/config_file');
Thanks.

[Catalyst] Conflict between C::TraitFor::Model::DBIC::Schema::Caching and C::P::I18N::DBI
Hello,
I've installed Catalyst::TraitFor::Model::DBIC::Schema::Caching and it seems
to work fine, but it conflicts with Catalyst::Plugin::I18N::DBI.
I made the following settings in order to be able to use C::TraitFor::...
'Model::DB' = {
traits = ['Caching'],
schema_class = 'BRK::Schema',
connect_info = {
dsn = 'dbi:mysql:database=brk',
user = 'root',
password = ,
quote_char = '`',
name_sep = '.',
},
},
'Plugin::Cache' = {
backend = {
class = 'Cache::FileCache',
cache_root = '__path_to(temp,cache)__',
},
},
Each time I access a page that contains a string which was not translated,
instead of replacing the key with ? $key and inserting that key in the
database, MyApp just prints the key and it doesn't insert it into the DB.
And the follow error message is printed to STDERR:
[error] Failed within fail_with(): Can't use string (BRK) as a HASH ref
while strict refs in use at E:/perl510/site/lib/Class/Accessor/Fast.pm
line 10.
This error is printed in the module
Catalyst::Plugin::I18N::DBI
at line 255.
If I comment the line
traits = ['Caching'],
in the Model::DB settings above, then Catalyst::Plugin::I18N::DBI works fine
again.
I've seen that the program seems to end in Catalyst::Plugin::I18N::DBI at
line 240, and this line is:
my $res = $c-model($cfg-{lex_class})-search({ key
= $key, lang = $lang, lex = $default_lex })-first;
I've seen that the program ends there no matter what search I made using
DBIC.
That line is enclosed in a eval {} block, but no matter it is enclosed in
eval {} or not, the program doesn't break, although when it is enclosed in
eval it fails and sets that error in $...@.
If I take that line outside the eval {} block and put a $c-log-error line
above it and another $c-log-error line below it, the error put above it
prints to the error log, but the line below it it doesn't.
(And it is the same if I do this in the eval {} block. That's why I said
that the program seems to end on that line.)
I don't know what's Catalyst::TraitFor::Model::DBIC::Schema::Caching doing
that it doesn't allow C::P::I18N::DBI work correctly, but I have no idea how
to solve this issue.
Help!
Thank you.

Re: [Catalyst] Deployment in practice
From: Bill Moseley mose...@hank.org 2009/10/9 Octavian Râşniţă orasn...@gmail.com Hi, I've recently started to use Mercurial for revision control and the pages regarding the deployment of a Catalyst app from the Catalyst wiki also help me very much, but I still don't know what would be the best method for uploading the files to the server. How do you do it? Archive the entire app an dupload to the server then change the permissions of the files and folders there? Or upload the modified files one by one? Or generate a tarball on each revision and unarchive and make, make test it on the server? I have a script on a build server that does an svn export of a specific branch and version (or latest trunk if no version specified). The script then runs the test suite, runs the build scripts that generate minified css, javascript, and anything else that prepares the package such as create a meta file with build info, and then builds a tarball named after the reversion. Also, a symlink is created as latest on the build server. Then on target machines (testing, staging, and production) I have a push script that fetches the tarball (based on a specific version or latest), untars it on the machine. It's untarred into a directory named after the revision it came from. Tests are run that verify that it can talk to whatever it needs (database, services). Then do a graceful stop of the existing server, move symbolic links, start the server back up and then use wget to validate a number of test URLs. Depending on the update some servers may get pulled out of the balancer before upgrading to do it in stages. Pushing a previous version will just update the symlinks if they revesion exists. Not perfect but seems to work ok for now. Thank you all for your answers. It was very helpful. What about the database? If starting from a certain revision you need to make some database changes (adding tables, adding/deleting some table fields) how can we automate this? I mean, I think that we could run a script that add some tables and remove the unneeded fields from other tables, but if something goes wrong and we need to go back to the previous version, we would need the records from those fields. What can we do in these situations? Do the database update and the tests manually? Or back-up the entire database and then test the latest version of the app? Thanks.

[Catalyst] add_columns()
Hi,
In DBIx::Class::ResultSource.pm's POD documentation I read:
add_columns
...
Adds columns to the result source. If supplied key = hashref pairs,
uses the hashref as the column_info for that column. Repeated calls of
this method will add more columns, not replace them.
But in Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial::04_BasicCRUD.pod I read:
__PACKAGE__-add_columns(
created,
{ data_type = 'datetime', set_on_create = 1 },
updated,
{ data_type = 'datetime', set_on_create = 1, set_on_update =
1 },
);
This will override the definition for these fields that Schema::Loader
placed at the top of the file.
What's the truth? Repeating calls of this method adds more columns and not
replace them, or the columns are overriden?
I tend to believe the Catalyst tutorial, but I am not very sure.
Thanks.
Octavian

[Catalyst] Catalyst tutorial
In Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial::04_BasicCRUD.pod I read that we need to
specify the ResultSet classes we want to use with:

I've seen that it works even without it. Is this line really needed?

Bootstrap local::lib (see the docs), then, from inside your MyApp directory: eval $(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib--self-containted,local_lib) make installdeps And you'll then have all the dependencies for your app (given you listed them in Makefile.PL) built for you, inside your app directory, where you can add them to revision control.

Re: [Catalyst] how do you distribute a catalyst app
From: Stuart Watt Why would you do that? If the module you're installing fails its tests, you should file a bug report. What kind of error? IME you shouldn't ever want to or need to force install a module. This should be a *colossal* red flag to you. ... /joel It is very possible that the tests fail because the tests are wrong, not the module. I use a Perl that does not have fork emulation on Windows, partly for performance. Many tests assume fork, even where the modules they are testing do not depend on it. Yes, these modules should be reported, but you don't need to wait for a new release, nor is the module necessarily compromised. Authors cannot always test on a wide range of platforms. I find a good few modules fail tests for system/platform reasons rather than because of bugs in the code. Modules I know fail on Windows without fork but generally don't care include: DBD::mysql, Test::NoWarnings, WWW::Mechanize, HTTP::Server::Simple, Cache::Cache, and DBD::SQLite. Most of these have tests that assume fork. Some get caught by file system differences and permissions differences. You might have a wider concern if you are using a standard build (if such a thing exists) but it is at least sometimes justifiable to look through the tests that fail and make a judgment call. --S -- Stuart Watt ARM Product Developer Information Balance Hi, Sometimes I see that I can't install some perl modules, but then I found a ppm package that can be installed, and that module has the same version as the ones I couldn't install using the cpan shell. So probably the tests are done wrong. Some tests (like the one for DBD::SQLite) also crash the perl interpreter, not only that the tests don't succeed. And as you said, most of the tests use fork and then I know why they are not working under Windows. If we need to deploy a Catalyst app under Linux, is not so hard to install modules from CPAN using the cpan shell, but it might be very hard to install some modules under Windows, so it would be very good if we could use local::lib to pre-install the necessary modules. And regarding my question, in local::lib's POD, I read that: From the shell - perl -MCPAN -Mlocal::lib=my_lwp -e 'CPAN::install(LWP)' Where in this command line can I add the force parameter, or is there another way of installing perl modules in the local directory? And, another question: Can we deploy an app that uses local::lib without having shell access but only ftp access if local::lib is not installed? (It would be interesting to know, although I never needed it until now.) Thanks.

[Catalyst] Why it is better to use an ORM like DBIx::Class
Hi,
I corrected (re-written) that message in which I tried to show why it is
better to use DBIC, because it doesn't affect the efficiency. Here it is. I
hope it could be helpful. Please tell me if you think it needs improvements:
Why it is better to use an ORM like DBIx::Class
There are many advantages of using an ORM, but I won't remember all of them
here.
I just want to show how clean it could be a code that uses DBIx::Class
instead of manually adding parts for creating SQL queries.
And I would also like to show that this doesn't affect the efficiency.
DBIx::Class works the same in all apps, but I will show an example using the
Catalyst framework.
# 1. Create the application named OurApp:
catalyst.pl OurApp
# 2. Go to the application's home dir:
cd OurApp
#3. Create the tables in the ourapp database using the definitions shown
below:
create table continent(
id int unsigned not null auto_increment primary key,
name varchar(20),
hemisphere varchar(10)
) engine=InnoDB;
create table country(
id int unsigned not null auto_increment primary key,
id_continent int unsigned not null,
name varchar(30),
national_day date,
foreign key(id_continent) references continent(id)
) engine=InnoDB;
create table city(
id int unsigned not null auto_increment primary key,
id_country int unsigned not null,
name varchar(30),
population int unsigned,
foreign key(id_country) references country(id)
) engine=InnoDB;
# 4. Generate the DBIx::Class result classes:
perl script/ourapp_create.pl model DB DBIC::Schema OurApp::Schema
create=static dbi:mysql:database=ourapp root
# 5. Create a Template-Toolkit view, named TT
perl script/ourapp_create.pl view TT TT
# 6. Create a controller named Continent, and change its content:
perl script/ourapp_create.pl controller Continent
package OurApp::Controller::Continent;
use strict;
use warnings;
use parent 'Catalyst::Controller';
sub index :Path :Args(0) {
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
#Get a variable from a submitted form:
my $continent_name = $c-req-params-{continent_name};
#Select the continents from the Northern hemisphere:
my $continents = $c-model(DB::Continent)-search({
hemisphere = 'North',
});
#Until this point, no query is sent to the database.
#If the user asked for a certain continent in this hemisphere, add it as a
filter:
$continents = $continents-search({name = $continent_name}) if
$continent_name;
#Until this point, no query is sent to the DB yet and more such filters
may be applied.
#Add the $continents object to the stash, for printing data from it in the
templates
$c-stash-{continents} = $continents;
#This last line of the subroutine also didn't send anything to the
database.
}
#And here the action subroutine ended, without sending anything to the
database.
#The default TT template root/continent/index.tt is processed by the TT view
at this point.
1;
# 7. Create the content of the template file (root/continent/index.tt):
htmlheadtitleContinents/title/headbody
form
Continent: input type=text name=continent_name
input type=submitbrbr
/form
h1Print the information for the selected continents:/h1
[% FOREACH continent IN continents.all %]
Continent name: [% continent.name %]br
Continent hemisphere: [% continent.hemisphere %]brbr
h2Print the information for the countries from [% continent.name
%]:/h2
[% FOREACH country IN continent.countries %]
Country name: [% country.name %]br
Country national day localized: [%
country.national_day.set_locale('fr').strftime('%e %b %Y') %]brbr
h3Print here information for the cities from [% country.name %]:/h3
[% FOREACH city IN country.cities %]
City name: [% city.name %]br
city population: [% city.population %]brbr
[% END %]
[% END %]
[% END %]
/body/html
# 8. Start the application using the development server:
perl script/ourapp_server.pl -p 80
# 9. And access the controller at the URL:
http://localhost/continent
By default, it will show the whole list of continents from the northern
emisphere that were inserted in the database, their countries and their
cities.
If you will filter the results and add the name of a certain continent in
the form field, it will display only that continent, its countries and their
cities.
Before starting the development server, set the environment variable
DBIC_TRACE to 1, for printing the SQL queries that are generated on each
request.
If you will type the name of the continent NonExistent in the text field
of the form, the single SQL query that will be generated would be:
SELECT me.id, me.name, me.hemisphere FROM continent me WHERE ( ( name = ?
AND hemisphere = ? ) ):
'NonExistent', 'North'
It won't find this continent, and it won't send the other SQL queries to the
DB for getting information about countries and cities.
If the continent Asia is inserted in the DB, but no countries are inserted
for it, the generated SQL queries will be:
SELECT me.id, me.name, me.hemisphere FROM

[Catalyst] nmake catalyst_par
Hi, With Catalyst 5.8 I've tried: E:\web\T2 perl Makefile.PL ... E:\web\T2 nmake ... E:\web\T2 nmake catalyst_par ... Writing PAR t2.par # Until here is good, because with the previous version it gave an error and didn't want to create the par archive.

[Catalyst] ModPerl::Registry
Hi, I know that if possible the mod_perl handlers are recommended and not ModPerl::PerlRun and neither ModPerl::Registry, but these options could be used to run Catalyst applications in less privileged servers because the server doesn't need to be restarted in order to start the application. I read C::Engine::Apache2::MP20's POD documentation saying that: While this method is not recommended, you can also run your Catalyst application via a ModPerl::Registry script. httpd.conf: PerlModule ModPerl::Registry Alias / /var/www/MyApp/script/myapp_registry.pl/ Directory /var/www/MyApp/script Options +ExecCGI /Directory Location / SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry /Location script/myapp_registry.pl (you will need to create this): #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use MyApp; MyApp-handle_request( Apache2::RequestUtil-request ); Does anyone know why this method is not recommended? Shouldn't it work? I've tried it and the applications run well the main page (the / URI) but if I create another controller and try to access it, it gives a 404 Not Found error. I tried with a pre-made app and with a new MyApp.pm with the same results. Thanks.

[Catalyst] Building a PAR file
Hello, I've tried to create a PAR archive from a Catalyst app and I've done: 1. Put catalyst_par(); in Makefile.PL. 2. Run perl Makefile.PL 3. Run nmake catalyst_par But it gave the following error: Writing PAR acces.par NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'E:\perl510\bin\perl.exe' : return code '0x2' Stop. Do you have any idea what could be the problem? PAR? Catalyst? Can't a PAR archive of a Catalyst app be built under Windows? Thanks.

Re: [Catalyst] Re: decoding in core
From: Peter Karman pe...@peknet.com Neo [GC] wrote on 02/23/2009 09:41 AM: Does anyone know a _safe_ method to convert _any_ string-scalar to utf8? Something like anything_to_utf8($s) , regardless if $s contains ascii, latin1, utf8, tasty hodgepodge or hot fn0rd, utf8-flag is set or not and is neither affected by full moon nor my horrorscope, _without_ doing double-encoding (there MUST be some way to determine if it already is utf8... my silly java editor can do it and perl makes difficult things at least possible). I would greatly appreciate this philosophers stone and will send my hero a bottle of finest bavarian (munich!) beer called Edelstoff (precious stuff - tasty). Search::Tools::UTF8::to_utf8() comes close. It won't handle mixed encoding in a single string (which would be garbage anyway) but it does try to prevent double-encoding and uses the Encode goodness under the hood. -- Peter Karman . pe...@peknet.com . http://peknet.com/ I understand that there are reasons for not transforming all the encodings to UTF-8 in core, even though it seems to be not very complicated, because maybe there are some tables that contain ISO-8859-2 chars and other tables that contain ISO-8859-1 chars, and when the data need to be saved, it should keep its original encoding. But if somebody wants to create a new Catalyst app, with a new database, new templates, controllers, etc, I think it could be very helpful if the programmer would only need to specify only once that he wants to use UTF-8 everywhere - in the database, in the templates, in the configuration files of HTML::FormFu, in the controllers, and not in more places in the configuration file, or specify UTF8Columns in DBIC classes... It could be a kind of default.

[Catalyst] Requirements for Catalyst
Hello, It is very clear that a Catalyst app can't run on a shared host, but it requires either a dedicated server or a VPS. I am searching for web space providers that offer VPS and I've seen that they use to set their tariff plans mainly on the guaranteed memory, but I don't know which would be the necessary memory for a VPS that runs an OS like Fedora or CentOS, Apache, Perl and Catalyst. Could be 256 MB of memory enough? Or 512? Or I would need 1 GB or more if I would like to run a Catalyst app? That Catalyst app would use a MySQL database, and it would have around 100 tables, and 20 - 30 Catalyst controllers. Can I find this type of information somewhere? Thanks.

Re: [Catalyst] RFC: The paradox of choice in web development
From: Dan Dascalescu ddascalescu+catal...@gmail.com I've just discovered Data::Dump but it appears to beat the crap out of Data::Dumper. Yet does it say anywhere Hey, if you're getting started with Perl and need to dump variables, use Data::Dump, and don't waste your time investigating other modules? If I were the author of Data::Dumper, I'd somehow retire the module, or plaster a note in the POD redirecting people to Data::Dump. Imagine a programmer new to Perl picks up an example that uses Data::Dumper. Will they find out about Data::Dump? No. Someone picks up the Catbook and learns about FormBuilder. Does http://www.formbuilder.org/ mention FormFu anywhere? No. It mentions its last update, March 2007. I also agree, but unfortunately I don't know what should be the solution for this kind of problems. One of the biggest issues for the perl programmers, Catalyst users or not, is to choose the right module for sending email, because I guess there are tens of modules for this task. And to increase the confusion, I have also added one more (Mail::Builder::Simple) and a helper for Catalyst (Catalyst::Helper::Model::Email) that helps using it in a Catalyst app. This is because I wanted to have a perl module that can send email which automaticly encodes the body and headers to UTF-8, in order to be able to include special chars in them, to be able to add attachments, inline images, to create a multipart with a text and html version without needing to create those parts manually, to be able to create the body of the message and the attachments by using templates, and I couldn't find a perl module that can do this. So a Catalyst beginner will hear that he can send email from Catalyst by using a View, then he will find that he can also send email by using a model, and after a few experiences like these, he won't be sure that he uses the right tool. I would be very glad to hear that there is a better module for sending email than the one I wrote, that would be higher level, that would require less code, that would be able to send email using more types of servers, and when I'd find it, I would surely specify in the POD documentation of that module that I recommend the other, and I will surely start using it myself.
