Bugs from/fixed in Version 4.1 of AWB

ArgumentOutOfRangeException
Fixed in. Max S em(Han shot first!) 20:33, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

AWB encountered NullReferenceException
Already fixed, please wait for the next release. Max S em(Han shot first!) 20:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Category addition placement

 * Yup, we know. Already fixed (a while back), wait for the next release =) — Reedy  Boy  23:01, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

\n
this part of the text should be left unchanged according to the regex but a "\n" string was placed there, why? that's a special character --84.234.42.68 13:47, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, that part didn't support character escapes. I've added \n and \t in . Max S em(Han shot first!) 16:39, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

AWB encountered XmlException
I have recently downloaded the latest version of AWB & when making a list form a category encountered an error which it asked me to paste on this page.&mdash; Rod talk 20:07, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I tried today again and all is working fine, so it was probably a problem with the server and not with AWB. Voorlandt 18:18, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Marking as wontfix. — Reedy  Boy  18:17, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

SVN version - diff engine doesn't show capitalisation changes
Fixed in. Max S em(Han shot first!) 11:32, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Error
Not really a bug, but should be posted here. I loaded AWB a couple minutes ago, and a box came up that said something like "Update available (not sure about that part). Run teh updater?" (I doubt that was exactly right, but close.) You may want to fix the typo there. jj137 ♠  Talk 03:59, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I just saw this too, it reads "There is an update available for the updater. Run teh updater now?" when it should be "the". --T M F Let's Go Mets - Stats 10:48, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Cheers, Cant AWB be 5cr1pt k1ddy tho? lolol. Looks like its already been fixed... Probably Max ;) — Reedy  Boy  12:40, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Good to see this worked though. If you do get it, please update the updater - Prevents some issues in the next release ;) — Reedy  Boy  12:40, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

WebException

 * Fixed/Dupe — Reedy  Boy  12:41, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Broken?
I haven't been able to use AWB for a week. This is in spite of posting two reports here. What's going on? --John (talk) 17:44, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * We cant fix a version you have on your computer... It will work again in the next release.. — Reedy  Boy  19:16, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * And when will that be? Is there a stable version that works? --John (talk) 19:18, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * We have a Work list - If your desperate to use AWB, i could build you a SVN release version and you could use that to help with the testing? Otherwise its download a copy from SVN, and get Visual C# Express to build it... Let me know if you would like me to do this... — Reedy  Boy  19:20, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd love to help with the testing, that would be two birds with one stone. --John (talk) 19:34, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll finish this on your talk page. — Reedy  Boy  20:40, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Win32Exception
For our English-speaking devs: "cannot find the specified file". Max S em(Han shot first!) 14:48, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Cheers... So its complaining as it seems to not to be able to find AWB... Was the updater being used to update AWB? or install from scratch? — Reedy  Boy  22:53, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * - That should do it - Wont attempt to start it if its not there ;) — Reedy  Boy  20:35, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Find and replace
{{AWB bug | status     = notawb | description = In Find and Replace – either Normal or Advanced, entering {{imdb| in the replace with will result in output being changed to {{indb| not like what it is told to do {{imdb| .Jeanenawhitney (talk) 16:24, 13 December 2007 (UTC) | duplicate  = see above | OS         = XP | version     = 4.1.4.2 | workaround = don't do it or fix manually }} Are you using typo fixes at the same time? Typo fixes incorrectly change 'imdb' to 'indb'. Rjwilmsi (talk) 19:26, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes I was. Once I disabled it. The problem went away. Is there a work around?--Jeanenawhitney (talk) 20:09, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've fixed the typo list - please refresh typos then retest. Rjwilmsi (talk) 20:33, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Nope did not fix it. I see what you changed but the problem is still there. Jeanenawhitney (talk) 21:31, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't the replace be $1m$2 not $1n$2 ?Jeanenawhitney (talk) 21:38, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I changed the typo list to replace with $1m$2 and that works Jeanenawhitney (talk) 21:54, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * While that worked for you, it broke the fix for everything else, so I've fixed it again - hopefully I got it right this time. Thanks Rjwilmsi (talk) 07:58, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well your last fix worked for me. So I guess this is not an AWB bug,Jeanenawhitney (talk) 23:47, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Amen. Max S em{{sup|(Han shot first!)}} 23:57, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

No scrollbars in preview, show changes and edit box

 * There is the vertical scroll bar, so bets hedged, you mean, horizontal? Reedy Boy 19:20, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I have none. Screen resolution is 1280x1024. --213.170.112.173 22:17, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Try shrinking the window down when there is something in the web control. Does that show them? As both should only be shown when needed to be Reedy Boy 20:02, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I tried to change window size, use minimized/maximized windows, scroll bars don't appear at all. But they definitely should, since an article I load is quite large and there is text behind the panel. Even when the panel is hidden (using left down arrow) the text is large enough, it doesn't fit the window but there are no scroll bars :( --213.170.112.173 21:22, 30 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Seems rather weird.. Potentially not AWB. Can you take a screenshot of AWB when you expect it should be showing the scroll bars? Reedy Boy 21:24, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Image:AWB4120 noscrollbars 1.PNG Any idea of the reason for this weird behaviour? --213.170.112.173 20:29, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The GUI is screwed a bit it seems... Hmmmm Reedy Boy 21:11, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Anyway, it seems to be this AWB version's problem, since older AWB versions and other apps look fine. --213.170.112.173 21:20, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thats interesting... That points to the culprit then... We had a user commited fix to fix a GUI problem they were having with other versions since v4... Looks fine for us... Seems it may have caused you problems! Reedy Boy 21:22, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Empty template in references

 * True... Not a major thing i suppose ;) —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy  Boy  22:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe as a feature..? As fixing any that are if the text is only whitespace, wouldnt be a bad thing. —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy  Boy  20:40, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

- The thing is then.. what if the reference has "" because there is a space in its name.. Thats going to mess it up.. Hmm —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy  Boy  21:33, 16 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Better to be safe than sorry - —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy   Boy  21:52, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Disambig tab weirdness

 * Both me and max are unable to duplicate in XP... Reedy Boy 20:34, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Verified that this bug exists in Vista. Looks like it's up to me to fix it, and I have no freakin' idea what's causing it. — M ETS 501 (talk) 02:24, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thats what we thought. Ie there is no event fired (well, no dev coded event)) when there is mousehover... Maybe just change the control for a listbox? Reedy Boy 12:04, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Edit box is there for a reason - before starting disambiguating, you'll have to change all links to their normal case, because they're loaded with first letter always uppercase. Max S em 12:17, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, ok. I've never actually used it... Reedy Boy 12:26, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I've noticed this aswell - The list maker seems to do the same.. I think its just Vista/.NET FW v2... Probably not a lot that can be done.. I cant remember if i've seen it on an XP box tho (i think not) —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy  Boy  00:28, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Im pretty sure this is a vista problem. I get a funny problem with VS in vista where it doesnt seem to always draw anything properly - You have to scroll/minimise/maximise to get it to update —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy  Boy  21:05, 16 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Finally fixed - . Only required the groupbox behind the text box to have its colour changed from transparent to the actual background colour. Good to finally have it fixed =). And something so simple - The Diff will probably over complicate it as it made some minor/useless designer changes...

"Fix all excess whitespace" bug

 * I'm sure i fixed this since the last release... Will have a look in teh archives —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy  Boy  18:40, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * nope it is still broke, and just found that if wording is ==External link== it will not insert, but ==External links== it does insert. --Jeanenawhitney (talk) 09:51, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, it doesn't insert the extra "*" if the wording is ==External Links==, with the L capitalized.--Fabrictramp (talk) 15:28, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Further comment -- it was doing it yesterday on my Windoze machine at work, but the same version of AWB isn't doing it on my Mac (running AWB under Virtual PC) at home. Same versions of Windoze and AWB on both machines. Odd.--Fabrictramp (talk) 18:58, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Seems i didnt, but i think max did - ... That was before the last release —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy  Boy  17:10, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Using AWB itself to find and replace ==External links== to == External links == and then fix all excess white space it works great. Possibly something to add to general fixes would be a list of Heading variables to fix and add a space as necessary ==A > == A, ==B > == B as well as a== > a == at the ends (yes this means 52 variables) but it's a temporary solution and I believe the correct format.  Slysplace  |  talk  00:27, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Just realized there would be furher variables as in 0,1,2,3 ... Many headings start and end with numbers  Slysplace  |  talk  00:27, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Goold ol' Regex - [A-Za-z0-9] - So that makes that a bit simpler - Does ranges ;) —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy  Boy  21:14, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * A quick look at The Manual of Style says that the spaces are extra, so I suppose my fix may be arbitrary and should not be automatic as a general fix Slysplace  |  talk  01:03, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

I think I may have found the bug. There are 2 white space routines in the “AWB/WikiFunctions/Parsers.cs” And they both contained the same replace statements. One was fixed the other was not. At least I think so.

Fixed the first occurrence in the “RemoveWhiteSpace” routine

From this: ArticleText = Regex.Replace(ArticleText, @"==External links==[\r\n\s]*\\*", "==External links==\r\n*");

To This: ArticleText = Regex.Replace(ArticleText, @"==External links==[\r\n\s]*\*", "==External links==\r\n*");

The second occurrence is in the “RemoveAllWhiteSpace” line 383. Where the error occurs again.

See here

This is what it is now. (And as you can see it is identical to the “RemoveWhiteSpace” routine listed above)

ArticleText = Regex.Replace(ArticleText, @"==External links==[\r\n\s]*\\*", "==External links==\r\n*");

I think it needs to be changed to: (remove one of the \ from \\)

ArticleText = Regex.Replace(ArticleText, @"==External links==[\r\n\s]*\*", "==External links==\r\n*"); --Jeanenawhitney (talk) 20:55, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yup, tested and it seems to be. Thanks! - —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy   Boy  23:02, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The remove all is used only in that context menu of the edit box, so hence being seperate.. Shouldnt really have that duplicated code though.. Ie it should be as one/one calls the other... No biggy. Hmm —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy  Boy  23:05, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

CFD plugin adding asterisk

 * Dont think this is really AWB - It will be picking up the asterix's from somewhere else.. —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy  Boy  22:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * What happens if you paste the text into notepad/similar. What does it display? —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy  Boy  20:40, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I found the problem. Not a bug at all.  If I paste the same text into notepad, it does show an extra character that doesn't appear when I copy it.  Weird.  You can see the problem with any of the Saint Martin categories from Nov 30 here.  Thanks anyway.  --Kbdank71 18:05, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks! —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy  Boy  18:24, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * This nasty char appears sometimes at the beginning or end of copy+pasted text. I've added a filter for it in . Max S em(Han shot first!) 18:34, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

 * You mean rather than filtering, its blanking the list? I dont have a DB dump to try it on so its a bit difficult.. Can you message me on MSN or IRC when you are online OsamaK.. Thanks —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy  Boy  10:37, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, BTW, you shouldn't try using English Wikipedia's dump database. You can test Simple English Wiktionary database it's 966 KB only, it's the smallest English wiki DB--OsamaK (talk) 11:39, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Stalls after arbitrary number of autosaves
Doubt this is connected and it's rather minor, but also the bot's "Suppress "Using AWB" in edit summary" box doesn't appear to work - I have it checked but "Using AWB" still shows up in the edit summaries. --Rkitko (talk) 17:16, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Does it stop on a specific pages, or just randomly? Max S em(Han shot first!) 18:14, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Entirely random. I'm moving through an alphabetical list of species. There's no pattern whatsoever. --Rkitko (talk) 18:29, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * diff is where it got stuck this time around on edit #172. I'm going to try an uninstall and reinstall and see if that changes things. Rkitko (talk) 21:50, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Same thing happens with me. I just move down one on the list and hit start. It just randomly stops. My last stop was on Evan Farmer--Jeanenawhitney (talk) 23:45, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I did a reinstall and it went to almost 500 edits with no problems before I stopped it for other reasons. Seemed to be something wrong when I ran the updater not too long ago. --Rkitko (talk) 00:08, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * ...or not. This time it got several hundred edits in and got stuck here. After reinstalling. But what you said worked, Jeanenawhitney. I just clicked down to the next one in the list, hit start, and whamo it began to work again. Two edits later it stalled again. Clicking on either the one in the list it stalled on earlier or the current one and then "start" had no effect. Switching between them, highlighting them in turn in the list and then hitting "start" had no effect. Selecting the next item down in the list and then starting worked fine again. Puzzling and curious, but not a serious problem. It seems as if once it stalls while loading a page, it completely refuses to load that page during your current session no matter what you do. Even after it gets going again on the list, stopping it and trying to start on the stalled loads won't work. --Rkitko (talk) 05:17, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Same thing here. Entirely random. Tried a different computer, still occurs.  Stopping, clicking remove selected, then restarting seems to work. No diffs, sorry. Mbisanz (talk) 05:37, 16 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Weird, i can have mine running for most of the day doing tagging and it doesnt freeze.... —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy  Boy  12:38, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've experienced something similar a couple times today, but in my case clicking 'Start processing' helped. Max S em(Han shot first!) 13:59, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * With these XML errors that are being reported.. I wonder if its MW? —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy  Boy  19:19, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Might be. Could that be the reason the number of edits before stalling changes? This time it got to 300 or so and stalled here. --Rkitko (talk) 21:03, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

My AWB is working fine today no stalls (3000 scans) at all. Could this be a server overload causing it to stop? I did not change anything at all. Jeanenawhitney (talk) 21:34, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Adds an orphan and/or a stub tag to redirect pages
I have no idea why but WikiRegexes.Regex doesn't match it when there is a colon after "redirect". Jogers (talk) 14:05, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * AH! Thanks for this 2nd report. I suspect, going on what Jogers has put, would make sense why it would be very rare to happen. As its not common practise to include the colon.. So we either modify the regex, or "fix" redirect: to redirect —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy  Boy  16:49, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The regex is used in several places in the program so it makes more sense to fix it but the problem is that it doesn't look broken or anything and it works correctly in regex tester, for example. Jogers (talk) 18:29, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It might look right, but evidently isn't :) Agree that fixing the regex is preferable to a workaround. I don't have VS installed at the moment (looking to get VS 2008 installed soon) but if Sam wants any help with the regex he knows where to find me. --kingboyk (talk) 20:53, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

GetLists.FromRedirects
The problem is, I guess, that large templates like this one have links in the high 6 figures. It's hugely inefficient to be getting redirects this way. Might we consider using this toolserver page which is currently linked from Special:Whatlinkshere? Of course we have to hope that Mediawiki and/or the API (if it doesn't already) will soon do this natively. --kingboyk (talk) 17:05, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Newline handling is broken

 * Regex and multiline checked

Previous related bugs: The problem basic arises that parts of AWB handle the newlines with "\r\n" while other parts where for simplicity to "\n", problems arise when both styles are used. The server software will remove \r only when directly followed by a \n. The behavior in the regex tester has not been updated to the new method. —Dispenser (talk) 18:10, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Interlanguage links placement

 * No it doesnt. It puts them below the category. If a category has been added using awb in the last release, there is a minor bug that means new categories are not then correctly placed.

 * As I understand, a problem occurs if and only if &lt;br&gt is at the end of a non-empty line without bulleting. If &lt;br&gt is the only thing in the line I think we can remove it... or not? Can you think of a counterexample?
 * Moreover, certainly we certainly can replace a double &lt;br&gt with a newline. -- Magioladitis (talk) 07:29, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * - Replaces between 2 and infinite br tags with a newline... —<font face="Trebuchet MS"> Reedy  Boy  16:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
