AWB Developers
Reedy Kingboyk Rjwilmsi AWB was created by: Bluemoose (retired)

This page is for AWB developers to discuss the development of AWB.

Please do not post bugs, feature requests, and similar on here, unless it is extremely urgent, but in that case it would probably be better to use #autowikibrowser on IRC if possible.

[edit] Migrate to API?

I spoke to VasilievVV, he said that soon Bot API will be enhanced with action=render, and thus we will be able to do everything using the API, needing not to parse HTML at all. Sure, it will take several months to make sure that all these new API features work satisfiably, and bug 11604 needs to be fixed too. MaxSem^{(Han shot first!)} 07:55, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, that will certainly help speed up AWB operations! And with the internal Diff's... It would only be like previews that would need actually doing via the servers... Interesting... —Reedy Boy 15:59, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

If that means ditching IE, it may also bring AWB a step closer to being portable to mono? --kingboyk (talk) 22:08, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

We'd need a control for the Diff browser... And the History.. And then only the edit one if they want to see the formatted page.. —Reedy Boy 23:21, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

• Sam have already seen it, but others may not: Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/API migration, that's the masterplan. Please participate. MaxSem^{(Han shot first!)} 15:01, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lowercase and Underscore

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2008_May_7#Template:Lowercase_and_underscore

Needs dealing with in AWB

—Reedy 13:49, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

rev 3020 (Code commented out for time being). [1] removes it from the checkpage, preventing users AWB copies from trying to load it —Reedy 21:25, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] If User is Admin || Bot

Pull API query results in larger numbers. For most avaliable queries, admins and/or bots are allowed to get larger numbers of results in one go

—Reedy 14:46, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Redundant now, using max for amount to pull —Reedy 16:04, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Usage stats - unique users per site

I'm looking at [2] and wondering if it would be possible to have the number of unique users listed per site under the Sessions & saves per site section. Penguin (talk) 09:31, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, should be. Will have a look at doing so later on. —Reedy 18:33, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Well overdue, rev 4058/rev 4059. Probably needs the cols changing round... —Reedy 23:15, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] AWB v5

• Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/API migration N
• Migrate to .NET FW 3/3.5 (? would possibly cause problems towards mono integration) N

—Reedy 14:22, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] task list

• Switch to editing via the API
• Add all currently failing unit tests into a separate unit test category so that actual regressions due to future code changes can be identified more easily Y Done rev 3842
• Include some of the feature requests around changes to the tag a module (particularly combining article issues tags, sorting tags appropriately and adding dates to tags were needed)
  • rev 3846 splits up the Tag Adding/Removing in the code, doesn't do anything gui wise though —Reedy 14:25, 27 January 2009 (UTC) Reverted
  • rev 3848, add and remove now booleanised in the same function. Tags added if Auto Tag enabled, removed if general fixes enabled. Code still needs overhauling —Reedy 16:31, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
• Include the feature request to differentiate between trivial and visible general fixes Y Done rev 3857
  • Expand the range of general fixes to include outstanding feature requests etc.
  • (Now that it is possible to hide all the quotes) include general fixes to remove ordinals from dates (per feature request) and "of" between months and years Y Done rev 3874

[edit] recent change has broken my access to unit tests project

A recent change under rev 4057 has broken my ability to use the unittests project as VS 2008 express claims not to support 'solution folders'. My access is restored locally by reverting the change to the unit tests solution file. Rjwilmsi 21:36, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 2005/2008?

I'm a bit confused if 2005 or 2008 is required. I just grabbed the source code yesterday with the goal of starting a plug-in. I have VS 2005 Pro on my main machine, but can install 2008 if necessary. I was able to load the project, but am getting build errors on 'wikifunctions' - is this another issue, or is 2008 required? Cander0000 (talk) 03:36, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Just VS being noddy. If you close and restart VS those errors normally go away. Rjwilmsi 11:10, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

2010 beta is out.. Hopefully that'll fix some of the stupid errors!! —Reedy 11:41, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah. Also, try loading some Wikifunctions stuff before attempting Main.cs - worked for me I think. (I had a similar error in 2008) - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 11:46, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
