Logged data for browsers (chrome) is no longer correctly categorized by URL

[maritsm]

I have around one year worth of data where all of my time logged in chrome is categorized by URL. The new update i installed today no longer does this, every chrome page is directly under chrome/ in the tree.

I would like to request that this change be reverted, of if it's a bug then it be fixed. Thanks in advance

This is a change in Chrome, not in Procrastitracker. Chrome never supported getting URLs the way other browsers do (DDE requests), and needs a hack to retrieve it. I can have a look.

What language is your Windows set to? Anything other than english?

[aardappel]

Ok, experimented with a new way of getting the URL, and still not working: https://github.com/aardappel/procrastitracker/commit/0cd31414c6e8a672dabc54367cf154fb6cd8c0d7

I'm out of ideas of making this work.

My windows is set to Hungarian currently, could that be an issue?

That said though, the same issue happens with firefox, so I'm going to try and see if changing the system language to English could help

[maritsm]

I changed the system language to English/US, the problem is still up.

The problem initially started for me when I decided I would switch to firefox, and when i noticed that the url thing didn't work with it i switched back to chrome, but by then chrome didn't work either. This leads me to suspect that maybe the program is not correctly identifying which method it should use... (Although the problem is still up after a complete system reboot as well)

[aardappel]

Yup, it's broken for me too (in English).

I tried to install an older version of Procrastitracker now to see if the original URL getting thing works or not, but now it won't even load databases anymore, citing that the database was made in a newer version (even for databases that are more than a year old). Even reinstalling the latest commit doesn't fix this

[aardappel]

That part is normal: when new features are added that add things stored in the the database, the file format changes. It still knows how to load older versions, but it always writes the newer version. So you can't read newer databases with older versions of PT.

[maritsm]

I expected that, yes, the problem is that the new version can't load them now either

[aardappel]

The newest version should be able to load any database version, unless it was corrupted for another reason. Does it say anything in particular?

[maritsm]

It's just a messagebox with "PT: Trying to load db from newer version"

[aardappel]

Then are you aren't using the newest version?

[maritsm]

Okay, I see what was wrong last time. I got the newest version off github, used NSIS to make the installer, installed PT using it, but for some reason it didn't create the procrastitracker.exe file. Which meant that when I installed the new version to the same folder where the old version was, it didn't update the procrastitracker.exe file. I tried the same installation process with 2 different older commits from here, the same issue persisted.

Using the official installer from the website (strlen.com) did work though, and getting the installer off github also worked, so something must've been broken on my end with the installation process.

Although the url problem still persists

[aardappel]

yes, I don't have a fix for that at the moment

[aardappel]

@maritsm this should now work again if you get the latest version :)

[maritsm]

Yes, it works here too (on chrome), thank you very much :)
