GhostText doesn't send data in Firefox #127

Closed the-nipper closed 5 years ago

the-nipper commented 6 years ago

Setup

System: Linux kernel 4.4.0 64bit Browser: Chromium 63. / Firefox 57.0.4 / Waterfox 55. Editor: Emacs 24.5.1

Description

Imported GhostText in all three browsers, and setup Emacs with atomic-chrome package.

GhostText editing in Chromium works: Emacs frame pops up with browser content, can edit...
editing in Firefox/Waterfox doesn't work: textarea becomes blue, but nothing happens with Emacs

Port 4001 is set. tcpdump shoes traffic on :4001 when Chromium is used, but no activity when Firefox/Waterfox is used

WJCFerguson commented 5 years ago

Is this still an issue, because I'm using Emacs / atomic-chrome on Linux and it works for me.

Emacs 26.1 atomic-chrome.el v2.0.0 GhostText: 17.12.11.910 Firefox: 64

Also using Emacs / atomic-chrome on Linux with no problems:

Browser: Firefox 64.0 on Ubuntu 18.04 Editor: Emacs 25.2.2

@bfred-it this issue can probably be closed as stale.

sphakka commented 5 years ago

Please anybody post their emacs config 'cause it's not working (as per OP's report) with my setup: Emacs-26.1 + FireFox Quantum 64.0 :-(

ntc2 commented 5 years ago

@sphakka my entire setup is

install atomic-chrome Emacs package
run M-x atomic-chrome-start-server in the Emacs instance where I want the GhostText buffers to appear.

sphakka commented 5 years ago

The issue is the port number: apparently no other value than 4001 works (nmap confirms) -- possibly an atomic-chrome's bug. @ntc2, could you please try a different port?

ntc2 commented 5 years ago

@sphakka could you give more detail on the setup you want me to try? Looking at that bug you link to I see

(setq atomic-chrome-server-ghost-text-port 4441)

Is that the only setting you want me to try? Or should I also change some port setting in the GhostText browser plugin?

sphakka commented 5 years ago

@ntc2, the port number must also be changed in GhostText: it's the only option available at the bottom of the addon's preferences page.

ntc2 commented 5 years ago

@sphakka Changing the port works for me in Firefox. Steps:

go into GhostText preferences and set port to 4567. Click "Disable" and then click "Enable" on the extension (don't know if this disable/enable step is necessary, but it's what I did).
open Emacs.
set port number in Emacs with M-: (setq atomic-chrome-server-ghost-text-port 4567).
start AtomicChrome server in Emacs with M-x atomic-chrome-start-server.

I can still edit text areas in Emacs using GhostText with this setup.

Software versions:

Firefox: 65.0
GhostText: 17.12.11.910
AtomicChrome: elpa/atomic-chrome-20180617.724
Emacs: 25.2.2
OS: Ubuntu 18.04

the-nipper commented 5 years ago

No issue anymore with Firefox 65.0.1, Ghosttext 17.12.11.910

Thank you all.

sphakka commented 5 years ago

All right for me too -- I had the start statement in the wrong position ^-^
