Unable to activate insert state #24

Open dalanicolai opened 3 years ago

dalanicolai commented 3 years ago

When I press "i" the echo area messages Entering webkit insert mode, press C-g to exit, however when I try to enter any characters, it seems Emacs still has focus because typing characters just trigger the Emacs commands. Some more steps are required to really get into insert mode?

akirakyle commented 3 years ago

That should be all that's necessary, but the handling of focus isn't straightforward. Can you test with emacs -Q to make sure there isn't some other loaded elisp interfering?

dalanicolai commented 3 years ago

Yes, did that already. Started emacs -Q then used command webkit and entered 'google.com'. To be sure, I first click with the mouse in the google search field, and press i. I see a cursor blinking, but when I press e.g. h then it opens the Webkit mode help buffer, instead of inserting the character.

akirakyle commented 3 years ago

Strange, are you using emacs --with-x or --with-pgtk? The next thing to test would be to build with make debug and post the debug log.

dalanicolai commented 3 years ago

I have configured the build using "./configure --with-imagemagick --with-cairo --with-modules". I am willing to build Emacs with make debug, but I am not a developer and I do not know how to add the rule for the DEBUG target.

Also do you know if I can build the webkit module using a Quelpa recipe? I can't find it, and my question did not get answered (twice). I am using Spacemacs which uses Quelpa for package management.

akirakyle commented 3 years ago

So you should be on emacs --with-x as that's the default. Sorry I should have clarified, I meant make emacs-webkit with make debug, not emacs itself.

As far as a Quelpa recipe goes, see the start of the Installation section in the README. To expand on that, I'm not very familiar with Quelpa, but I'm not sure if it supports custom build steps beyond byte compiling elisp. Currently that's a prerequisite to using a package manager to install emacs-webkit as emacs' builtin package.el has no concept of external build steps.

dalanicolai commented 3 years ago

As it kept quiet, I figured that probably I posted the wrong output. Anyway, building webkit using make -d results in the following output:

akirakyle commented 3 years ago

There is a debug target in the dead simple Makefile which turns out debugging print messages in the module. So run make clean && make debug to enable them then post what Emacs spits to stdout when you try to activate insert state.

dalanicolai commented 3 years ago

Ah okay, thanks that's clear. So I did as you said, but there is no output on entering the input state. I visit google.com, then I click on the search entry element with the mouse (to make sure the window is selected), but this does not yet cause a cursor to show. Finally I press i and then the cursor in the search entry element appears. However nothing happens in the terminal. Finally I press h while in input state but the the mode-help buffer pops up, which effects in some output in the terminal:

c 0x18e42a0 executing script: window.scrollBy(0, -17); id: (null)
c 0x18e42a0 executing script: window.scrollBy(0, -17); id: (null)

c 0x18e42a0 removing child with x: 656, y: 595
c 0x18e42a0 resize (x:8 y:0 w:640 h:289)

the first two lines are from scrolling C-n. Then nothing happens when entering insert state. Finally the rest of the output appears after I press h and the mode-help buffer appears. I did this starting from emacs -Q btw...

I am having the same issue. Upon manually running the webkit-insert-mode command I receive the following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument user-ptrp nil)
  webkit--focus(nil)
  webkit-insert-mode()
  eval((webkit-insert-mode) t)
  eval-expression((webkit-insert-mode) nil nil 127)
  funcall-interactively(eval-expression (webkit-insert-mode) nil nil 127)
  call-interactively(eval-expression nil nil)
  command-execute(eval-expression)

Looking at the code I see

(defun webkit-insert-mode (&optional webkit-id)
  (interactive)
  (message "Entering webkit insert mode, press C-g to exit")
  (webkit--focus (or webkit-id webkit--id)))

so webkit-id and webkit--id must be nil. When I look at the value of webkit--id I see nil. The code that I believe sets webkit--id: 

(setq webkit--id (webkit--new
                           (make-pipe-process :name "webkit"
                                              :buffer buffer
                                              :filter 'webkit--filter
                                              :noquery noquery)
                           webkit-own-window))

though I do not see a definition of webkit--new.

Building emacs with pgtk window system rather than X fixes this issue

Here are instructions to build emacs with pgtk: https://deathwish.info/2020/08/01/pgtk-nativecomp/

See parallel bug #18

My understanding is that this would force me to choose between using emacs-webkit and EXWM.
