Coldbox module event dying in renderLayout call - module

tl;dr: renderLayout(layout="myLayout", view="alpha/bravo/viewFile") resolves alpha as a module name rather than a package name in the host application, even if code execution is in the package rather than the module.
How do I get the path resolution to be consistent when either running the handler directly or when calling it via runEvent from a module?
I posted this on the CB google group, but then thought it may be best to ask here.
Working example here: https://github.com/jinglesthula/cbModuleExample
If you run install (I .gitignored the coldbox folder), then cd into the /app folder and server start --rewritesEnable you can visit http://127.0.0.1:<whatever port>/example/admin/test/ajax to see it in action.
From the example:
/app/modules_app/example/handlers/admin/test.cfc -> ajax() calls runEvent("admin.test.ajax")
/app/handlers/admin/test.cfc -> ajax() calls `renderLayout( layout = "layout.div", view = "admin/test/ajax" )
"admin/test/ajax" normally resolves to /app/views/admin/test/ajax.cfm, but in this case it's resolving to /app/modules_app/admin/views/test/ajax.cfm.
You can comment out line 18 and uncomment line 19 in /modules_app/example/admin/handlers/test.cfc to see a workaround.
You can also go to /admin/test/ajaxDirect in your browser to see that the renderLayout() call in the non-working example is correct.
Note: I have this.viewParentLookup = true in my ModuleConfig.cfc. I've tried reloading the module with it set to false and I get the same result.

Code coverage in SimpleTest

Is there any way to generate code coverage report when using SimpleTest similar to PHPUnit.
I have read the documentation of SimpleTest on their website but can not find a clear way on how to do it!
I came across this website that says
we can add require_once (dirname(__FILE__).'/coverage.php')
to the intended file and it should generate the report, but it did not work!
If there is a helpful website on how to generate code coverage, please share it here.
Thanks alot.
I could not get it to work in the officially supported way either, but here is something I got working that I was able to hack together by examining their code. This works for v1.1.7 of SimpleTest, not their master code. At the time of this writing v1.1.7 is the latest release, and works with new versions of PHP 7, even though it is an old release.
First off you have to make sure you have Xdebug installed, configured, and working. On my system there is both a CLI and Apache version of the php.ini file that have to be configured properly depending on if I am trying to use PHP through Apache or just directly from the terminal. There are alternatives to Xdebug, but most people us Xdebug.
Then, you have to make the PHP_CodeCoverage library accessible from your code. I recommend adding it to your project as a composer package.
Now you just have to manually use that library to capture code coverage and generate a report. How exactly you do that will depend on how you run your tests. Personally, I run my tests on the terminal, and I have a bootstrap file that php runs before it starts the script. At the end of the bootstrap file, I include the SimpleTest autorun file so it will automatically run the tests in any test classes that get included like so:
require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/simpletest/simpletest/autorun.php';
Somewhere inside your bootstrap file you will need to create a filter, whitelist the directories and files you want to get reported, create a coverage object and pass in the filter to the constructor, start coverage, and create and register a shutdown function that will change the way SimpleTest executes the tests to make sure it also stops the coverage and generates the coverage report. Your bootstrap file might look something like this:
<?php
require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';
$filter = new \SebastianBergmann\CodeCoverage\Filter();
$filter->addDirectoryToWhitelist(__DIR__."/src/");
$coverage = new \SebastianBergmann\CodeCoverage\CodeCoverage(null, $filter);
$coverage->start('<name of test>');
function shutdownWithCoverage($coverage)
{
$autorun = function_exists('\run_local_tests'); // provided by simpletest
if ($autorun) {
$result = \run_local_tests(); // this actually runs the tests
}
$coverage->stop();
$writer = new \SebastianBergmann\CodeCoverage\Report\Html\Facade;
$writer->process($coverage, __DIR__.'/tmp/code-coverage-report');
if ($autorun) {
// prevent tests from running twice:
exit($result ? 0 : 1);
}
}
register_shutdown_function('\shutdownWithCoverage', $coverage);
require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/simpletest/simpletest/autorun.php';
It took me some time to figure out, as - to put it mildly - the documentation for this feature is not really complete.
Once you have your test suite up and running, just include these lines before the lines that are actually running it:
require_once ('simpletest/extensions/coverage/coverage.php');
require_once ('simpletest/extensions/coverage/coverage_reporter.php');
$coverage = new CodeCoverage();
$coverage->log = 'coverage/log.sqlite'; // This folder should exist
$coverage->includes = ['.*\.php$']; // Modify these as you wish
$coverage->excludes = ['simpletest.*']; // Or it is even better to use a setting file
$coverage->maxDirectoryDepth = '1';
$coverage->resetLog();
$coverage->startCoverage();
Then run your tests, for instance:
$test = new ProjectTests(); //It is an extension of the class TestSuite
$test->run(new HtmlReporter());
Finally generate your reports
$coverage->stopCoverage();
$coverage->writeUntouched();
$handler = new CoverageDataHandler($coverage->log);
$report = new CoverageReporter();
$report->reportDir = 'coverage/report'; // This folder should exist
$report->title = 'Code Coverage Report';
$report->coverage = $handler->read();
$report->untouched = $handler->readUntouchedFiles();
$report->summaryFile = $report->reportDir . '/index.html';
And that's it. Based on your setup, you might need to make some small adjustment to make it work. For instance, if you are using the autorun.php from simpletest, that might be a bit more tricky.

Balanced Payments doesn't seem to work with Phonegap

We are not able to call balanced.card.create from a Phonegap application. This is reproduced in a stock Phonegap application here: https://github.com/kevg/phonegap-balanced. Full details are in the README.md on github, but the basic summary is:
For those not familiar with phonegap, the main page that loads is
index.html. This initializes phonegap in index.js. When the device is
ready, we will show a hidden DIV with a button named "Execute
Balanced." When you click this button, app.executeBalanced in index.js
will be called which prompts for the balanced marketplace URI, loads
balanced.js with $.getScript, and then calls balanced.card.create with
a test credit card.
The expected result is that callbackHandler is called or an exception
is caught. Instead, it seems the execution of the Javascript thread
disappears into balanced.card.create, never to return and without any
error.
Alrighty, I found the bug in balanced.js. So, in Phonegap, window.location.href returns something like file:///.../index.html. Balanced.js creates an iframe to something like https://js.balancedpayments.com/proxy#file
var src = proxy + "#" + encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);
https://github.com/balanced/balanced-js/blob/master/src/utils.js#L48
In the script returned in proxy.html (which I can't find on github), it does:
c.parentURL=decodeURIComponent(
window.location.hash.replace(/^#/,"")
).replace(/#.*$/,"")
c.parentDomain=c.parentURL.replace(/([^:]+:\/\/[^\/]+).*/,"$1")
The regex doesn't match because file: has three slashes. Now, at first, I thought I could just convert the regex to:
/([^:]+:\/+[^\/]+).*/
However, then there's another problem, because balanced does a security origin check on the match:
if (d.origin.toLowerCase() !== c.toLowerCase()) return !1;
However, the regex returns file:///firstcomponent, whereas event.origin does not include a host name for the file scheme, so these won't match even with a fixed regex.
I can't change anything in the script returned in the proxy response because if I load that from a domain other than balancedpayments.com, then the AJAX POST fails (return code 0 with a blank body). Therefore, the only thing I can control is the hash passed to the iframe.
However, since this regex is a replace, we can simply pass exactly what we know we need (we don't care that the regex is a no-op).
Therefore, the solution is to change L48 above to:
var src = proxy + "#" + encodeURIComponent("file://");
This works.

Elm Graphics.Input

I'm trying to run the Elm input examples from this page. Specifically, the Text Field example, and I'm getting an error saying that the Graphics.Input module is missing.
I've got this in a file called Main.elm:
import Graphics.Input as Input
main = let (field, state) = Input.field "Type here!"
in lift2 display field state
display field state =
field `above` asText state
If I run elm-server and navigate to localhost:8000, I get the error
Your browser may not be supported. Are you using a modern browser?
Runtime Error in Main module:
Error: Module 'Graphics.Input' is missing. Compile with --make flag or load missing module in a separate JavaScript file.
The problem may stem from an improper usage of:
Input.field, above
Compiling the project with elm --make Main.elm gives me
elm: Graphics/Input.elm: openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
Is there something extra I need to do to install the Graphic.Input?
Additional Notes:
I'm running this on a Debian machine, and installed it using cabal install elm fairly recently (Jun 15 2013). The current version is labeled Elm-0.7.1.1.
If I hop into the chromium JS prompt and poke around, it turns out there's no Elm.Graphics.Input module, but there is an Elm.Input. There isn't a function called field, there's a similar looking one called textField, but it isn't trivially interchangeable.
Running this:
import Input
main = let (field, state) = textField "Type here!"
in lift2 display field state
display field state =
field `above` asText state
gives me the error
Your browser may not be supported. Are you using a modern browser?
Runtime Error in Main module:
TypeError: a is undefined
The problem may stem from an improper usage of:
above
The Graphics.Input package is new in version 0.8. So, since you're running version 0.7, that explains your problem.
0.8 was released somewhat recently, but it's definitely been out longer than June 15th, so you probably just forgot to cabal update before installing it. Running cabal update now and then updating elm to 0.8 should fix your issue.

How to use a dependency of a module within a Play app

I am writing a Play Framework module in order to share some common logic among multiple Play apps. One of the things I would like my module to do is provide some frequently-used functionality by way of 3rd-party modules, for example the excellent Markdown module.
First of all, is it possible to do this? I want all the apps that include my module to be able to use the .markdown().raw() String extension without needing to explicitly declare the Markdown module as a dependency. The Play Framework Cookbook chapter 5 seems to imply that it is possible, unless I am reading it wrong.
Secondly, if it is possible, how does it work? I have created the following vanilla example case, but I'm still getting errors.
I created a new, empty application "myapp", and a new, empty module "mymod", both in the same parent directory. I then modified mymod/conf/dependencies.yml to:
self: mymod -> mymod 0.1
require:
- play
- play -> markdown [1.5,)
I ran play deps on mymod and it successfully downloaded and installed the Markdown module. Running play build-module also worked fine with no errors.
Then, I modified myapp/conf/dependencies.yml to:
# Application dependencies
require:
- play
- mymod -> mymod 0.1
repositories:
- Local Modules:
type: local
artifact: ${application.path}/../[module]
contains:
- mymod
I ran play deps on myapp and it successfully found mymod, and generated the myapp/modules/mymod file, containing the absolute path to mymod.
I ran myapp using play run and was able to see the welcome page on http://localhost:9000/. So far so good.
Next, I modified myapp/app/views/Application/index.html to:
#{extends 'main.html' /}
#{set title:'Home' /}
${"This is _MarkDown_, by [John Gruber](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/).".markdown().raw()}
I restarted myapp, and now I get the following error.
09:03:23,425 ERROR ~

And just to confirm I'm not crazy, I tried adding the play -> markdown [1.5,) line to myapp/conf/dependencies.yml and restarted the app, and confirmed that it works.
I feel like I'm missing something obvious. Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help! :)
Yes I had the same problem, it seems that transitive dependencies through custom home made modules does not work

extra-paths not added to python path with zc.recipe.testrunner

I am trying to run tests by adding a version of tornado downloaded from github.com in the sys.path.
[tests]
recipe = zc.recipe.testrunner
extra-paths = ${buildout:directory}/parts/tornado/
defaults = ['--auto-color', '--auto-progress', '-v']
But when I run bin/tests I get the following error :
ImportError: No module named tornado
Am I not understanding how to use extra-paths ?
Martin
Have you tried looking into generated bin/tests script if it contains your path? It will tell definitely if your buildout.cfg is correct or not. Maybe problem is elsewhere. Because it seem that your code is ok.
If you happen to regularly include various branches from git/mercurial or elsewhere to buildout, you might be interested in mr.developer. mr.developer can download and add package to develop =. You wont need to set extra-path in every section.
