I am working on a firefox fork and would like to duplicate -moz-apperance as appearance. I have tried duplicating it as a shorthand property but this throws errors at the compile stage using ./mach build The documentation seems cryptic.
There's documentation about implementing new CSS properties, which might be hard to follow, but browsers are complex pieces of software.
(Currently this question is too broad to provide an answer that's not link-only.)

I have been searching the official docs and existing questions and could not find any information on this - in Elm, how it would be possible to see the members/methods/variables that belong to or are exposed by a package in Elm, (such as the dir method in python), without having to dive into the source code each time?
What I want to do is get a simple list of what methods are exposed by an imported package. (So for a package like List, it should output reverse , all, any, map, etc.) I have attempted tab completion in elm repl and the elm extension available in VS code editor, and elm repl does not offer any methods such as help, doc, ?, dir, man, etc., so I have no idea where to even start. I'm wondering how everyone else does this other than pulling up the source code for each and every package they use.
I apologize for the newbie question and if I misread or have been missing anything, but I couldn't even find anything in the https://elmprogramming.com tutorial. Thanks in advance.
Nothing like this exists in Elm to do reflection over modules, unfortunately (as of 0.19.1, at least).
However, if you aren't looking to actually do this kind of thing at runtime, but rather as a convenient way of finding out for development, the elm packaging system enforces the requirement that all public functions are documented, so if you visit the package page, every public function and type will be documented there (obviously it can't enforce the content of the documentation, but at the very least it will be listed).
I am in charge of maintain some build scripts intended to be used with MSBuild; I have found that they have several properties, among them I found the code:
/p:PipelineDependsOnBuild=False
Looking for an explanation about this, I search the web and I found that is part of the solution of issues with the building process of web projects, but is used in combination with other properties.
So far I have not found an msdn page that explain the purpose of that.
Fact: I tried to search for /p:PipelineDependsOnBuild=True and no results were found
For future reference, as I too found the use of this particular property curious, yet can't find any reference myself. However, in the said Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets file, this comments are interesting:
"These two Properties are not compatable %24(UseWPP_CopyWebApplication) and %24(PipelineDependsOnBuild) both are True.
Please correct the problem by either set %24(Disable_CopyWebApplication) to true or set %24(PipelineDependsOnBuild) to false to break the circular build dependency.
Detail: %24(UseWPP_CopyWebApplication) make the publsih pipeline (WPP) to be Part of the build and %24(PipelineDependsOnBuild) make the WPP depend on build thus cause the build circular build dependency. " />
So that using the PipelineDependsOnBuild=False might be necessary in order to using `UseWPP_CopyWebApplication' option.
I want to evaluate my content blocks before running my test suite but the closures' property names is in bytecode already. I'm ooking for the cleanest solution (compared with parsing source manually).
Already tried solution outlined in this post (and I'd still wind up doing some RegEx/parsing) but could only get it to work via script execution engine. It failed in IDE and GroovyConsole. Rather than embedding a Groovy script in project's code, I thought I'd try using Geb's native classes.
Is building on the suggestion about extending Geb Navigators here viable for Geb's PageContentSupport class whose contentTemplates contain a LinkedHashMap of exactly what I need? If yes, would someone provide guidance? If no, any suggestions?
It is currently not possible to get hold of all content elements for a given page/module. Feel free to create an issue for this in Geb's bug tracker, but remember that all that Geb can provide is either a list of content element names or a map from these names to closures that create these elements.
Having that information isn't a generic solution to your problem because it's possible for content elements to take parameters and there are situations where your content elements will be available on the page only after some other actions are performed (for example you have to click on button to reveal a section of a page that uses ajax to retrieve it's content). So I'm afraid that simply going over all elements and checking if they don't throw any errors will not cut it.
I'm still struggling to see what would "evaluating" all content elements prior to running the suite buy you. Are you after verifying that your content elements still work to get a faster feedback than running the whole suite? I'm pretty sure that you won't be able to fully automate detection of content definitions that don't work anymore. In my view it will be more effort than it's worth.
Regarding to the solution described in this post, a third assembly is required to forward the type resolution to the correct assembly.
When adding this reference to the Android class library project using the type, the forwarding seems to not be done. The reference needs to be added in the Android application project which is the end point of the build process.
Does any solution exist to add the reference embedding the forwarding in the project requiring it ?
I mean, if in my solution architecture I use :
MyApp.Core - PCL
MyApp.Core.Droid - Android class library
MyApp.UI.Droid - Android Application
The usage of System.Net namespace (System.Net.Socket.AddressFamily for example) is done in my ViewModel, which is located in MyApp.Core.Droid (redirection of MyApp.Core with some plugins). In this case, it is more logical (and readable) to have the reference in the MyApp.Core.Droid. But in the fact, the assembly resolution is done (from what I understand) when packaging the application, so in MyApp.UI.Droid. So in this case, the reference needs to be added to MyApp.UI.Droid in order to be found (failed if added to MyApp.Core.Droid).
In this case the solution works, but its quite obvious to understand for a new programmer joining the team which, has not been facing the trouble and understands why this reference needs to be added to the UI project...
I'm not sure my thought is easy to understand by the way I introduce it. Let me know if you need more explanation.
Thanks,
Guillaume.
I'm not entirely sure why this 'fails if added to MyApp.Core.Droid' - it feels like this should be added. However, I know that Xamarin have tweaked and changed the dependency resolution scripts a few times.
With that said, I think the best answer to your question is 'don't worry about it too much' - this is only a small inconveneinve right now and it will be resolved by Xamarin's updates 'soon'.
The current PCL support is something that I and a number of others have worked on in order to make things work. This set of 'hacks' is a workaround for the lack of 'proper PCL' support - it simulates what the Microsoft PCL build platform does on WindowsPhone, WPF, etc, but it isn't a perfect implementation.
Xamarin have now committed to 'proper PCL' support. When that happens then these type-forwarding dependencies will automatically be added. The good news is that this support is perhaps now only days, weeks or at most months away.
I'd like to be able to Alt-Click an instance variable (or a method) as part of the program i created and read what it's purpose is.
The fact that Xcode is telling me the class variable is declared at - is nice but not enough. In this case i'd like to see custom text i typed to describe what an asset really is. Additionally type of the ivar would also be useful to know.
How can this be done? In this case, i wonder what exactly did i mean by assets
I specifically wonder if this information can be viewed from inside Xcode, similar to how Eclipse shows JavaDoc content.
You would need to create a documentation set for your project and install it in Xcode. appledoc can help you with this. This is a command-line tool that can generate documentation in Apple's style from specially formatted comments in your headers. You can also integrate this into your build process with a run script build phase, so that documentation is always up-to-date.
For small projects, it's usually not worth the effort though and you're probably better off just adding comments to your header files and jumping there with Cmd-click (Ctrl+Cmd+left-arrow to go back to where you came from).
You'll probably want to take a look at Apple's documentation on Documentation Sets as well as their article on generating doc sets using Doxygen. The latter is based on Xcode 3.x, so how relevant it is is somewhat questionable, but it'd be a good idea to take a look nonetheless.
That said, if you decide to use Doxygen (alternatives like HeaderDoc can be used for documentation, but I'm not sure what's available to you as far as creating doc sets goes), it looks like the main point is you'll want to throw GENERATE_DOCSET=YES into your Doxyfile (or whatever you decide to call it). After that, you'd just throw the results into ~/Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/DocSets (according to Doxygen's documentation). I don't know whether this works in Xcode 4.x - it's worth a shot though, and it'd be nice to hear back on it.
Note: most of this was based on this answer by Barry Wark. Figure credit is due there, since I wouldn't have bothered looking into this were it not for his answer.
