00:01

@cairdcoinheringaahing Done.

caird coinheringaahing

@Dennis Thanks

Dennis

@NickClifford Correct me if I'm wrong, but Travis CI would require language authors to modify their repos. Automatic or semi-automatic updates are planned though.

Dennis

00:20

@ConorO'Brien Could you check if the issue persists on dev.tio.run?

Nick Clifford

00:33

@Dennis yes, but only for a .travis.yml

I see your concern though

my thoughts are that if a language has unit tests through Travis (as Ohm soon will), if the author pushes a commit that fails said tests, it would not automatically deploy to TIO

Conor O'Brien

01:15

@Dennis it still loses focus after the escape sequence on dev.tio

Dennis

14:44

@ConorO'Brien Should be fixed on dev. Can you try again?

Also, if someone could confirm that command mode still works on dev.tio.run with Edge and IE, that would be great.

Conor O'Brien

@Dennis unfortunately not, I'll be AFK for most of today. I'll try once I return home, however.

Dennis

No rush.

I actually tested it in Vivaldi, so I expect no surprises there. Not so sure about the MS browsers though, and I can't test it myself right now.

Thomas Ward

15:01

i might be able to do some tests here in IE.

@Dennis remind me how to get into that mode?

Dennis

15:13

@ThomasWard By pressing Esc.

Thomas Ward

@Dennis tested in IE11, seems to work. Didn't delve in too much but...

I don't have edge here though.

caird coinheringaahing

@Dennis I've been reading through this on some help for using the API and I'm a little stuck on the DEFLATE part, would you mind helping me a little if you're not too busy?

Thomas Ward

@cairdcoinheringaahing DEFLATE as in unzip/uncompress

caird coinheringaahing

@Dennis Seems to work on Edge for me

Thomas Ward

i ran into the same confusion when working on TIObot at one point

Dennis

15:20

@ThomasWard @cairdcoinheringaahing Thank for testing. :)

caird coinheringaahing

@Dennis No problem

Dennis

@cairdcoinheringaahing What language are you using?

caird coinheringaahing

@Dennis Jelly on TIO, and Python as an interface

Thomas Ward

i should probably do more testing on the port of TIObot's TIO library for Python... hmmm i'm lazy

Dennis

@cairdcoinheringaahing To DEFLATE in Python, you can use zlib.compress(<whatever>, 9)[2:-4].

caird coinheringaahing

15:25

@Dennis Hmm, I did that, and it returned a binary string of gibberish

Dennis

That's the expected outcome of compression.

caird coinheringaahing

Would you mind explaining how to retrieve the expected result from the gibberish? This is the first time I've used compression

Dennis

Decompression is just zlib.decompress(<whatever>, -zlib.MAX_WBITS).

caird coinheringaahing

@Dennis It's currently returning a 16 byte, newline-terminated string after being decompressed. What do I do with that?

Dennis

16 bytes would mean the was no output, so the request is probably missing something.

caird coinheringaahing

15:35

The request is Vlang\x001\x00jelly\x00F.code.tio\x005\x00+F.input.tio\x003\x00Vargs\x002\x0020‌\x0010R if that means anything to you

Dennis

There's + that shouldn't be there, and the argument 10 isn't null-terminated.

caird coinheringaahing

@Dennis The + is the code FWIW

Dennis

Oh! The request says the code is 5 bytes long though.

caird coinheringaahing

Ah, is that the \x005 part?

Dennis

Yes. The input isn't 3 bytes long either.

caird coinheringaahing

15:40

Well, that'll teach me not to copy-paste old examples

ಠ_ಠ Back to the 16 byte output

@Dennis So, I've sent a POST to https://tio.run/cgi-bin/run/api/, for the result of JSON.stringify(stateToByteString()) when running this, and the output looks like b'4vdfjIPFIPsOCvBh\n'

My request looks like this: Vlang\x001\x00jelly\x00F.code.tio\x001\x00+F.input.tio\x000\x00Vargs\x002\x0020‌\x0010\x00R

Dennis

Can't find an error right now. What's the actual code you're using?

caird coinheringaahing

+

With the arguments 10 and 20

Dennis

No, for the POST request.

caird coinheringaahing

import requests
import zlib

URL = 'https://tio.run/cgi-bin/run/api/'

def sendreq(code, inputs, args):
    session = requests.Session()
    data = 'Vlang\u00001\u0000jelly\u0000F.code.tio\u00001\u0000+F.input.tio\u00000\u0000Vargs\u00002\u000020\u000010\u0000R'
    print(repr(data))
    test = session.post(URL, data, verify=True, cookies=requests.utils.dict_from_cookiejar(session.cookies))
    return zlib.decompress(zlib.compress(bytes(test.text, 'utf-8'), 9)[2:-4], -zlib.MAX_WBITS)

if __name__ == '__main__':

Dennis

You have to DEFLATE data.

And why would you compress test.text just to decompress it again?

caird coinheringaahing

15:57

@Dennis I don't know, I've never used zlib before. Also, that works, got the info from TIO, I just have to split on the 16 byte string at the start, right?

Dennis

Yes.

caird coinheringaahing

@Dennis Thanks for the help, and for being patient with me!

Dennis

np

caird coinheringaahing

16:51

@Dennis is there a way to retrieve the debug information if no output is produced?

Dennis

17:13

What do you mean by if no output is produced?

caird coinheringaahing

@Dennis As in running @ in Jelly won't pip anything to STDOUT, but will to STDERR. Can that information be retreived?

Dennis

Yes. After splitting by the first 16 bytes, the last chunk is the debugging information.

caird coinheringaahing

It doesn't seem to produce anything aside from the first 16 bytes for me. I'll have a look at it when I finish the current bit of debugging :P Thanks anyway

caird coinheringaahing

18:18

@Dennis Does the request have to be modified in some way to handle non-ASCII characters? If so, how?

Never mind, I figured it out

Thomas Ward

19:14

@Dennis when we send data into the API, does it need to be in gzipped form, or is a standard compressed string sufficient?

secondly, when we get the response, is any data in it specially encoded and needs decompressed or such?

trying to port a Tio library written in Java over to Python and I am struggling getting valid results.

Thomas Ward

20:39

@Dennis et. al. can anyone give me an API guide of how I should structure an API post to the 'run' API? I can't find clear documentation.

caird coinheringaahing

20:52

@ThomasWard This is the script I'm using.

Thomas Ward

i didn't ask for a script I asked for a rundown of the format of the data item before compressing

because I ran your script locally and got nothing back

caird coinheringaahing

@ThomasWard When?

Thomas Ward

implied in the above.

i ran it also in the past hour and it failed

1 moment

caird coinheringaahing

@ThomasWard

Vlang\u00001\u0000<language>\u0000F.code.tio\u0000<length of code>\u0000<code>F.input.tio\u0000<length of input>\u0000<input>Vargs\u0000<number of args><\u0000argn repeated the number of times for the arguments>\u0000R

if that's clear to you

Thomas Ward

@cairdcoinheringaahing I presume your response should be ("The instruction '2' is not implemented") for your example sendreq from above here?

caird coinheringaahing

20:57

@ThomasWard Depends what request you're sending.

Thomas Ward

sendreq('+', '', ['20', '10']))

my guess is "no"

but now I have information to work with :P

grabs a hammer

caird coinheringaahing

@ThomasWard Even better. Hope that helps :P

Thomas Ward

hrm. I think something is fubar then in my functions here.

because I get that 16 character long string but... hrm

caird coinheringaahing

Are you compressing the query string (Vlang...R)?

Thomas Ward

well i'im further along than i was before.

"The variable '.code.tio' could not be declared."

quartata

21:04

@ThomasWard sounds like you're passing it to V?

and not F?

Thomas Ward

that's probably a minor code issue

hrm

WOW TYPO

>.>

i'm an idiot

quartata

what went wrong?

Thomas Ward

write_variable in my python port of Socratic Phoenix's TioJ library instead of write_file.

quartata

so yeah V then

Thomas Ward

uhm wtf lol? "<code string> is not an unsigned decimal integer literal." wat

quartata

21:08

wha

oh

right

Thomas Ward

i forgot something didn't I

quartata

needs to be as a base 10 number after compression I think?

one moment

Thomas Ward

wut

@quartata i'm confused, what do i have to do to pass the code string in proper?

OH

wait

i know

i forgot something

quartata

oh wait

I think you might be missing the file size

?

Thomas Ward

yep

Thomas Ward

21:40

whoo it's working now heh

that was a pain in the ass xD

Thomas Ward

23:11

@quartata do you happen to know if the code being submitted over the API, needs to be URL encoded or something to properly process?

quartata

Don't think so

Just needs to be null terminated

Thomas Ward

hrm

because it's not working from my python library...

this is one of my tests, and is the non-compressed version of the submitted API data for the POST command:

Vlang\x001\x00apl-dyalog\x00F.code.tio\x0017\x00\xe2\x8e\x95\xe2\x86\x90'Hello, World!'\x00R

the problem is, it gives a nasty little error: The instruction 'l' is not implemented.

which can't be true.

so I'm not entirely sure what to do here.

(this is APL Dyalog and its "hello world")

Dennis

@ThomasWard \xe2\x8e\x95\xe2\x86\x90'Hello, World!' isn't 17 bytes long.

quartata

23:28

yeah, it's getting cut off at the l

or one of the ls
