First time trying Vicreo and not able to send simple two or three parameter button pushes from Companion or CentralControl. I'm getting a message:
When you want to use modifiers, use the combination or trio syntax please.
I've tried Combination and three key and both get that message on various combinations of Windows 10 systems. The Vicreo log shows that the message parameters are correct.
Any suggestions?
Running the latest Companion beta solved the issue with current Vicreo version 3.0.3

I'm trying to automate the mmc (snap in console) type desktop app. Where I need to expand the tree.
Try 1 -
But when I do use expand() function it generates error popup which says that "the child nodes does not exists". After this script simply stops with no error message on console unless ok button is clicked on error popup. This I suspect because when tree node expanded it triggers some event which brings child nodes under it and somehow pywinauto is not getting Childs of this node. Please note that this error popup does not come up when the step is done manually.
Try 2 -
When I tried with select() then too same behavior observed as above. It generated same error popup.
Try 3 -
I tried click() and click_input() functions and it clicks on random tree node but not on the tree node on which it is called.
The all above trials are of my application which is not public.
For reproducing this issue I have tried it on common application available on windows OS. And we can see that the 3rd is still reproducible.
Reference code -
import time
from pywinauto.application import Application
from pywinauto import Desktop
app = Application().start(r'cmd.exe /c "C:\Windows\system32\perfmon.msc"', wait_for_idle=False)
app = Application(backend="win32").connect(title='Performance Monitor', timeout=10)
main_wind = app.window(best_match='MMCMainFrame', top_level_only=False)
console_wind = main_wind.child_window(best_match="MDIClients").child_window(best_match='MMCChildFrm').child_window(class_name="MMCViewWindow")
tree = console_wind.TreeView # print_control_identifiers()
children = tree.get_item(["Performance","Data Collector Sets"]).expand().get_child("System").expand().get_child('System Diagnostics')
print(children.text())
# below line will select the System Diagnostics
children.select()
time.sleep(4)
# Below line should click on System Diagnostics but it does NOT and same happens for click() function
children.click_input()
Any help will be really helpful in knowing why this click() and click_input() clicks on random tree node and Why expand() and select() method generates the non functional error popup?
Please mention if there is concrete workaround to this.
versions -
Windows OS 10, build 20H2
Python 3.10.4
comtypes 1.1.11
pip 22.0.4
pywin32 303
pywinauto 0.6.8
setuptools 61.2.0
six 1.16.0
wheel 0.37.1
TIA..
I have referenced some stack overflow and github issue tracker as for this problem as below but nothing works.
Treeview problem
select() for TreeView items (and similar) leads error if this selection calls other dialogs etc
Python: Click by coordinate inside a window
This was all because of incorrect backend API used for snap in control application. Unfortunately my POC I did on win32 API where it worked because I was doing some initial steps manually hence the problem I was facing(explained in try1) was not there and everything was working perfectly fine.
As soon as I switched the backend to UIA it gave me different identifiers for the controls that I used previously. Now I used this identifiers and started using UIA documentation and everything started working smoothly.
Also in my investigation there is no proper way to identify the backend API for the desktop application unless you try both and figure out which works for you.
Suggestion to readers - If you are using win32 API as backend there are different api methods available for that in the documentation. and for UIA backend different. read documentation carefully.
You can try the uispy tool and find that perfmon.msc can be automated with uia
I've been trying for hours, but can't build and use Light Table. Every time I try to run deploy/LightTable, it hangs on a screen that simply says "Light Table". I receive this error*:
[14381:0519/204037:INFO:CONSOLE(27860)] "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'thread_STAR_' of undefined", source: file:///home/zaz/Desktop/LightTable/builds/lighttable-0.8.0-linux/resources/app/core/node_modules/lighttable/bootstrap.js (27860)
Here's what I've tried:
git clone https://github.com/LightTable/LightTable.git
cd LightTable
bash linux_deps.sh
./deploy/LightTable # creates frozen window, throws the error above
cd deploy
./LightTable # creates frozen window, throws the error above
./ltbin # creates frozen window, throws the error above
I also tried similar things after checking out the atom-shell branch and the 0.7.2 tag (and cleaning up all the files from the previous build). Each time, I received the error above.
Does anyone know what's going on here?
Has Light Table been completely abandoned? It seems the last commit was in March.
* Depending on the version I was trying to run, I also received other errors, but I don't think they're relevant (the error above was the only one that appeared for all versions):

A year later (question was written in May 2015, now is June 2016), LightTable 0.8.1 is out, and I tried both Linux binary and cloned it from git, and it works fine.
For complete info, I'm using also Atom, and although I had not problems with "Cannot read property 'something' of undefined"" in Atom core, I met such problems in two or three Atom packages.
Both editors are based on same electron platform, LightTable is beautiful eye candy with quite revolutionary REPL integration, but it needs more polish to be usable to same extent as Atom.
For example, LightTable does not have workspace saving by default, that is done via plugin. That's ridiculous.
But although Atom looks so nice and powerful compared to simple editors, with realy huuuge number of available packages/plugins, LightTable is more elegant.
As I don't want to start new semi-religious war Atom vs LightTable resembling vi-vs-emacs, I'll stop here. :)
I can't replicate your problems in LightTable v0.8.1, so I think that answers this question. If not, please add errors you get with v0.8.1.

I am trying to use the Sphinx4 library for speech recognition, but I cannot seem to figure out the correct combination of acoustic model-dictionary-language model. I have tried out various combinations and I get a different error every time.
I am trying to follow the tutorial on http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wiki/tutorialsphinx4. I do not have a config.xml as I would if I was using ConfigurationManager instead of Configuration, because there is no perceivable way of passing the location of the config file to the Configuration itself (ConfigMgr takes it as an argument to the constructor); and that might be my problem right there. I just do not know how to point to one, and since the tutorial says "It is possible to configure low-level components of the application through XML file although you should do that ONLY IF you understand what is going on.", I assume having a config.xml file is not compulsory.
Combining the latest dictionary (7b - obtained from Sourceforge) with the latest acoustic model (cmusphinx-en-us-5.2.tar.gz - from SF again) and the language model (cmusphinx-5.0-en-us.lm.gz - from SF again) results in NullPointerException in startRecognition. The issue is similar to the problem here: sphinx-4 NullPointerException at startRecognition, but the link given in the answer no longer works. I obtained 0.7a from SF (since that is the dict the link seems to point at), but I am getting even earlier in the execution Error loading word: ;;; when I use that one. I tried downloading latest models and dict from the Github repo, that results in java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 16128, Size: 16128.
Any help is much appreciated!
You need to use latest code from github
http://github.com/cmusphinx/sphinx4
as described by tutorial

Correct models (en-us) are already included, you should not replace anything. You should not configure any XML files, use samples as provided in the sources.
I have a wireshark dissector plugin.
I also have a wireshark installed from apt-get.
The wireshark loads fine without the plugin inserted in the right place.
When I include the plugin .so file and try to run wireshark, I get the following error:
$ wireshark
08:23:45 Err register_subtree_array: subtree item type (ett_...) not -1 ! This is a development error: Either the subtree item type has already been assigned or was not initialized to -1.
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
I tried understanding the problem. It says the subtree was already assigned (I'm assuming assigned an ett value) or was not initialized with -1. there are 3 files in my plugin where the API is called and I checked the values of ett[] being supplied to the API in each of these places. They are all initialized to -1.
Stuck in a roadblock. Any suggestion would be helpful.
Also, I do not understand where wireshark dumps the core. I could not find any core.
Any idea about this?
Generally, if you want to insert a plugin into a program, you have to ensure that the library API that the plugin was compiled against is the same as that provided by the program.
Unless wireshark provides documented versioning in its library API, this means that you have to have the plugin compiled against the same version of wireshark that you intend to use it with. So, if you compile your wireshark or the plugin yourself, you should compile the other as well. If you get your plugin in binary form, you should get your wireshark also from exactly the same place, otherwise you may not know if the two are compatible or not. If you only get a core dump when you insert the plugin, that's a strong indication that the two may not be compatible.
register_subtree_array: subtree item type (ett_...) not -1
...
there are 3 files in my plugin where the API is called and I checked the values of ett[] being supplied to the API in each of these places. They are all initialized to -1.
To which API are you referring? You must not call register_subtree_array() on any particular ett_ array more than once; if you're calling it twice, the first call will cause the ett_ values in the array to be set to values different from -1, so the next call will fail with that error.
Our application uses embedded xulrunner. We override the default PromptService to provide custom dialogs for alert, prompt, etc by
componentRegistrar.RegisterFactory (PROMPTSERVICE_CID, aClassName, aContractID, MyPromptServiceFactory);
where,
PROMPTSERVICE_CID is "a2112d6a-0e28-421f-b46a-25c0b308cbd0"
CONTRACT_ID is "#mozilla.org/embedcomp/prompt-service;1"
When using XULRunner 1.9.* versions, this works perfectly and the call comes to MyPromptSerivceFactory. But, this doesn't work on newer XULRunner versions (>= 4.0)
I have modified the PROMPTSERVICE_CID to "7ad1b327-6dfa-46ec-9234-f2a620ea7e00" (copied from nsPrompter.manifest). While registering the factory I get the error NS_ERROR_FACTORY_EXISTS.
If I continue to use the old PROMPTSERVICE_CID, then nsIPromptService2 is not used instead nsIWindowCreator2.CreateChromeWindow2 is used to display alerts and prompts.
I have googled on this, but I couldn't find a solution to either fix the NS_ERROR_FACTORY_EXISTS error or for MyPromptServiceFactory to be used.
Any help/suggestions?
It would probably be better to use the existing prompt service the way Firefox does it rather than replace it. If you look at nsPrompter.openPrompt(), before opening a modal dialog it will try to locate and call a JavaScript function getTabModalPrompt() in the window containing the browser. It expects to get a promptBox element back and will call methods appendPrompt() and removePrompt() on it. Obviously, you don't have to give it a promptBox element, just something that behaves similarly - and displays a message any way you like.
But if you really want to replace system components, you shouldn't duplicate prompter's CID - use your own one but #mozilla.org/prompter;1 as contract ID (the old contract ID is for backwards compatibility only).
