MozRepl installation errors on opensuse 12.2 - with mozilla firefox version 16.01
gentlemen,
I want to install mozrepl on OpenSUSE version 12.2. It gets pretty tricky - note Mozrepl is a additional part that is needed by the WWW::Mechanize::Firefox::
I had a bunch of troubles with mozRepl - and I tried to follow the first 3-4 steps from CPAN. I tried to install it with zypper in or with the repo: https://github.com/bard/mozrepl.github
See many good links and ressources regarding Mechanize - Firefox - Troubleshooting https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q=mozrepl https://github.com/bard/mozrepl.github
see the issues that were reported:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mozrepl/
note: does the firefox version 16.01 on opensuse 12.2 cause any issues
note: mozrepl is listening on port 4242
note: see the testscript:
PHP Code:
use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new(
tab => 'current',
);
$mech->get('http://google.com',
':content_file' => 'google_com.html' );
and the issues
PHP Code:
martin@linux-wyee:~/perl> perl moz_test3.pl

Run that script under your own user and check the paths are the same ...

That's a very specific error message.
When you install that module from CPAN, take note of where it installs. There will be a message telling you if the install was successful, and which directory the module was moved to. If multiple versions of perl are causing the problem, that will be an important clue.

hello again dear keath
hmmm probably i have two instances of perl.
i have various issues with installing and running WWW::Mechanize::FireFox on my machine.
-well: Mechanize FireFox lets you use FireFox with the Same behaviour as Perl Mechanize itself. You can do many
good things -and this lets so save time. A great perl-option to overcome obstacles i enveryday live.
i have had a closer look at the many things
Q:
do i have two instances of Perl on the machine?!
did i manage to install Mecha::FireFox correctly
is FireFox running with JavaScript enabled.
One of the key items on my CPAN configuration is 'prerequisite_policy [follow]';
Well to be frank that is the most sensible choice.
If a prerequisite module is missing, it will be installed automatically. Well i have looked at many things - my trace shows this happening; some of the modules needed are probably missing,
so it tries to install them before installing WWW::Mechanize::Firefox.
I do note that my config contains several strange things ...
PHP Code:
use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new(
tab => 'current',
);
$mech->get('http://google.com',
':content_file' => 'google_com.html' );
see this

Having prerequisite_policy set to follow is a sensible choice, but it's not really relevant to your problem.
The question I asked was, where did cpan install the module? Try it again, and take note of the directory it's loading into. Maybe it never was installed at all. Perhaps the installation failed.

There's little I can do. I am not running the same OS as you, so it's going to mean very little if I can get the module to build.
I can only point out that the one error is repeated over and over: "Can't locate MozRepl/RemoteObject.pm in @INC"
You've said in other posts that you have the pre-requisites policy for CPAN set to 'follow', which should have caused the build process to install that module first. For some reason it failed to, so you should attempt to build that module directly, by installing it specifically from CPAN.
Quote: | install MozRepl::RemoteObject |
If it fails to install, which it might, note the specific errors related to that module.

hello dear Keath
many many thanks - i appreciate every posting from you. and i will do as adviced.
i will do all you advice.
as for now: here some more insights: see the folliwing
i ve set up another notebook with opensuse - and as i have had various errors with the make - i installed gcc this time. And with this i got more propper results:
PHP Code:
cpan[4]> install WWW::Mechanize::Firefox
WWW::Mechanize::Firefox is up to date (0.68).
After the installation i used several scripts from the Mechanize-Examples (see here
http://search.cpan.org/~corion/WWW-Mechanize-Firefox-0.68/lib/WWW/Mechanize/Firefox/Examples.pm )
And i would say that those results were really a bit better than all i got untill now. See the terminal-results - and the corresponding code below...

It seems likely that many of your errors are cut and paste errors. For example, in the example3 script, you have bareword error messages for things like --current.
The reason appears to be because you have space in front of the perldoc directives such as =head1
Code:
=head1 NAME
bcat.pl - cat HTML to browser
=head1 SYNOPSIS
bcat.pl <index.html
Options:
--tab title of tab to reuse (regex)
--current reuse current tab
--title title of the page
--mozrepl connection string to Firefox
--close automatically close the tab at the end of input
--type TYPE Fix the type to 'html' or 'text'
=head1 OPTIONS
The equal sign has to be the first thing on the line. No space in front. If you use a good text editor that color codes perl syntax, you would see the error. All of that text is basically just comments, but because of the extra spaces, the perl interpreter doesn't realize it is documentation and is trying to execute it.
Same thing with example5. The error is saying that the end of your HEREDOC can not be found.
Code:
my $prefs = $ff->repl->expr(<<'JS');
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefBranch);
JS
JS is supposed to indicate the end of the HEREDOC. There can't be space in front of that terminator.
There error of example6 may be more serious. There is still a complaint about a module failing to load. Does that script work for you on another machine?

hello dear Keath 
many many thanks for the quick reply. And for all the valuable hints.
BTW: You deserve a monster congratulation. Your help is very very valuable.
regarding the mentioned errors. I took two of the three code examples from the above mentioned site at CPAN: Code example three and five. I took all those examples by cutting and paste.
Number six comes from another source. And yes: it does not work on another machine [yet]. Does it work for you!? That would be very very interesting.
Again: the last posting with the mentioned examples reports the new situation that is reached with a fresh installation.
As mentioned above it seems to me that
WWW::Mechanize::FireFox (version 068) is in place
But anyway - as you mention in your posting - i guess that there are still some errors left.
i will have a closer look in the next few days.
I come back and report all my findings...
Again many many thanks for the great help so far.
greetings

OK, I've tested your script using Firefox version 16.0.2 on Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
I've changed it just slightly, out of habit I suppose. I didn't see any big errors.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;
my @urls = qw(
http://www.google.com
http://www.yahoo.com
http://www.cnn.com
http://www.bing.com
http://www.nbcnews.com
);
my $temp = '/tmp';
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new('create');
foreach my $url (@urls){
my ($name) = $url =~ /www\.(\w+)\.com/;
print "creating $name.png\n";
$mech->get($url);
sleep(5);
my $png = $mech->content_as_png(undef, undef, {width => 240, height => 240});
my $file = "$temp/$name".".png";
open my $fh, ">", $file or die "couldnt create $file";
binmode $fh;
print $fh $png;
close $fh;
}
print "done!\n";
It works for me. This error that you mentioned earlier seems like a build error:
Quote: Failed to connect to , Couldn't load "MozRepl::Plugin::Base", "Attempt to reload MozRepl/Plugin/Base.pm aborted.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.0/Module/Pluggable/Fast.pm line 82.
" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.0/Module/Pluggable/Fast.pm line 84. |
So I'll just describe what I did to get things running.
I already had Firefox installed. I didn't compile it myself, I just downloaded a binary.
I got Mozrepl through the Firefox addons menu. Installed the latest version and restarted Firefox. It's then necessary to go to the Tools menu and turn in on manually. It won't come on automatically after restart.
Then I left Firefox running, and downloaded the latest version of WWW::Mechanize::Firefox from CPAN. The instructions were on the INSTALL link. Rather than installing from the CPAN shell, I downloaded using the DOWNLOAD link, unzipping that file on my hard drive, and then opened a terminal and navigated into the unzipped directory. From there, I ran
and the installation began. I allowed any additional modules to be installed. Some tests were skipped because I didn't have some testing modules, but everything that ran passed.
And that's it. I ran the script and it created thumbnails in my temp directory.
I moved your sleep command up higher, after the get. It was necessary, because Firefox wasn't waiting for the full page to render before creating images, so the more complex pages like Yahoo and MSNBC were rendered as simpler preceding pages like Google before the delay was added.
I didn't like that solution. I'm sure there is a better way of waiting for an event which shows the page load is complete, but that's all the time I can put into it today. I'm sure the sleep can be shortened though.

hi keath,
many many thanks yor the help - all your help is appreciated.
it is great to see that you got the script workin on your machine.
i will digg into all the hints and try to solve the build-issues here.
i come back the next days and report all the findings
greetings

btw: sometimes i muse bout a LIVE DVD or CD with all the necessary parts on it. Dont you think that this could be a way to go round the nasty issues with the installation of mozrepl and www:mechanize:firefox
what do you say? guess that this modules were the most tricky ones i ever tried to install and get to run...!?
by the way: the interesting thing is that we have a significant change:
....now on the new installation i have a different error report - compared with the dozenz of resluts saying another thing - see the error report number 2
see error report number 1
Code:
Failed to connect to , Couldn't load "MozRepl::Plugin::Base", "Attempt to reload MozRepl/Plugin/Base.pm aborted.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.0/Module/Pluggable/Fast.pm line 82.
" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.0/Module/Pluggable/Fast.pm line 84.
some additional ideas regarding the failure of loading the
see error report number 2
Code:

wyee:~/perl>
what do you say - i guess that there are really different things . that lead to the above mentioned reports... i will dig deeper into all the things and come back...
and yes - i also try to build a remastered linux-live cd with all the necessary stuff..
btw see the error report that i have Can't locate MozRepl.pm
Code:
Can't locate MozRepl.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1
/usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .)
at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/MozRepl/RemoteObject.pm line 402
Well, i guess that this happens when MozRepl::RemoteObject cannot be loaded.
hmm - some ideas: well guess that i have to install MozRepl for the system, not a single user only.
btw see here - is this normal!? see the mozrepl-starting process:
https://github.com/bard/mozrepl/wiki/Starting-the-REPL
Code:
martin@linux-wyee:~>
martin@linux-wyee:~> telnet localhost 4242
