Can't load markdown-preview :(

XingMo commented 8 years ago

I have installed the python3-markdown and the gir1.2-webkit-3.0, and I even wrote an example to make sure that. But the previewer still can't be loaded. Is it because I have both python2 and python3 on my computer? But the loader has been set to python3 in .plugin. Could anybody figure out the reason?

-Ubuntu 16.04LTS -Gedit 3.18.3

fredzannarbor commented 8 years ago

I am also having this problem.

cryoff commented 8 years ago

I have the same issue with the same configuration: -Ubuntu 16.04 LTS -Gedit 3.18.3

babanesma commented 7 years ago

I am facing the same situation ( Ubunut 16.04 , Gedit 3.18.3 ) There is no options added in the tools menu , and keyboard shortcuts ctrl+alt+m and ctrl+alt+v does nothing

These are the errors I found when opening gedit from command line

Likewise. Different error in the console, but same manifestation: can't load the markdown preview plugin with gedit v3.18:

Tomha commented 7 years ago

In the case of @mhoovler, missing dependencies are the main issue. As @XingMo mentioned you need webkitgtk and python-markdown (Those are the Arch names, check for your distribution), without these I get the same error as @mhoovler. Sort that out and I was able to at least enable the plugin, but it still didn't work.

The error posted by @babanesma is the real problem. There are a few outdated methods which are easily updated, but they are not the core of the problem - the plugin hasn't been updated for new versions of gedit which no longer uses the likes of a Gtk.UIManager, despite what the (now outdated) documentation says. For this to work, the plugin needs updating.

For now the best solution may be to try a recently updated fork which incorporates these required changes, and is tested and working for the most part on the latest on Gedit 3.22, though it should work for other recent versions as well provided you have the right dependencies.

niubencoolboy commented 7 years ago

@babanesma Do you have repaired this bug? I have the same error. My gedit version is 3.22. Hope the plugin will update to solve the problem

pascalenderli commented 6 years ago

I have a similar error. syntax highlighting works but when trying to enable the markdown-preview plug in the following error occurs:

caigner commented 6 years ago

Same here. My gedit version is 3.22.

darkdragon-001 commented 6 years ago

See my fork (including modifications by @nielsmde): darkdragon-001/gedit-markdown

prkos commented 6 years ago

@darkdragon-001 I seem to have all the dependencies, and the installation of your fork went successful. Now when I go to Plugins and tick the Markdown it is also successful, it stays ticked. Previously it just showed a red sign.

But I still don't see any Markdown Preview entries under Tools menu.

darkdragon-001 commented 6 years ago

@prkos Most of the issues described here refer to never versions of Ubuntu, gedit. I just confirmed that my fork workes within Ubuntu 18.04, gedit 3.28. You can try an older version, but I recommend you to update your system anyway.

prkos commented 6 years ago

@darkdragon-001 thank you. I'll have to dig out the time for the upgrade.

gitfineon commented 6 years ago

Hey @jpfleury , Why don't you merge the changes from @nielsmde and @darkdragon-001 ? It would be still not perfect, but otherwise the plugin is not usable anymore.

Tested on Ubuntu 18.04 with gedit 3.28.1

sudo apt install python3-markdown gir1.2-webkit-3.0
git clone https://github.com/darkdragon-001/gedit-markdown.git
cd gedit-markdown
./gedit-markdown.sh uninstall # remove old if exists
./gedit-markdown.sh install

Current drawbacks:

Does not show images
~~Only bottom panel, not in side panel~~

Highlights:

Does support X11 and wayland session
Render marked text section only
The dark theme

darkdragon-001 commented 6 years ago

Side panel works by editing panel in the config file (check README.md for further information).

gitfineon commented 6 years ago

Oh, thank you for that hint. I missed the section concerning the configuration file. Would be better if this and the theme are configurable in a preferences dialog.

ekuester commented 5 years ago

@jpfleury, @darkdragon-001 I am using gedit-3,28 under fedora 28. No chance to use the markdown plugin. I installed some missing dependencies, the last was sudo dnf install python3-markdown but now when you enable the plugin under Preferences/Plugins, you will end in ValueError: Namespace WebKit not available A bit googling shows that Webkit-3.0 is not supported any more after fedora 26. Is it possible to have a workaround?

darkdragon-001 commented 5 years ago

@ekuester Do you have WebKit2-4.0 available in Fedora?

I started migration to WebKit2-4.0 in a separate branch. It runs without error on Ubuntu 18.10 with Webkit2-4.0. I commented out some signals which need to be reconnected though. I marked the corresponding passages with TODO. Can someone help me with this?

ekuester commented 5 years ago

@darkdragon-001 don't know if I can be of help. In the meantime I upgraded to fedora 29, now my gedit has version 3.30.2 ... To display markdown files I am using in the moment remarkable from jamiemcg, in issue 282 I describe the procedure to solve a problem with webkit. Maybe you can suck some honey of of it ... My system has installed webkit2gtk3 = 2.22.4-1.fc29 and webkitgtk4 = 2.22.4-1.fc29. Don't know if that is the right one for your purpose. If you mean it makes sense I could attempt a newly install of the markdown plugin.

darkdragon-001 commented 5 years ago

@ekuester Can you please try if my fixed version works without any errors? The signals I commented out were mostly related to links and popups. So there might be issues here. But the rest should work.

ekuester commented 5 years ago

@darkdragon-001 Installation via shell-script was successful, but ... activation of the plugin failed.

It seems to me that actionGroup1 is not correctly defined. Dont know much about python, but in C++ such a variable must declared before using it ...

darkdragon-001 commented 5 years ago

@ekuester Can you please check branch webkit2?

git clone -b webkit2 https://github.com/darkdragon-001/gedit-markdown.git

ekuester commented 5 years ago

Command should read

git clone -b webkit2 https://github.com/darkdragon-001/gedit-markdown.git

I installed and then started gedit and looked at Configurations and activate markdown-plugin and returned to Tools menu and saw, that update resp. toggle markdown preview was clickable, and loaded a .md file and saw the markdown preview window BUT without content. Got error message

$ gedit &

No doubt, the breakthrough is near ... In anticipating obedience ;-) I add the german translation file. markdown-preview.de.po.txt

darkdragon-001 commented 5 years ago

Hmmm, that's weird. This error (similar to your tests before) appeared when it was not correctly initialized (usually with some other error appearing before).

Can you please try the following:

Open gedit
Activate the plugin (if not done already)
Write markdown content in the empty document (e.g. # Heading)
Update markdown (toggle only shows the window but does not update it with the content)

If this still doesn't work, can you please give me a list of (Fedora) packages one needs to install? I will try it in a docker container or virtual machine then...

Thanks a lot for the translation. I added them to the lastest (master) version.

ekuester commented 5 years ago

IT WORKS :-) At start it looks very promising because the markdown preview window was already open. I follow your instructions and saw "heading" in the preview. I loaded a .md file and after updating the preview all was fine. I saw no irritating error messages any more. PS: I corrected my .po file in an attack of hybris directly in your repository. Please look it, whether I did all right ...

darkdragon-001 commented 5 years ago

Thanks for the confirmation and thanks for your translation work!

Nevertheless, I will wait with merging the webkit2 branch into master until I find some time to rewrite the commented out actions...

ekuester commented 5 years ago

@darkdragon-001 due to several typos the translation files do not work as expected. I add corrected versions below. init.py.txt markdown-preview.po.de.txt markdown-preview.po.fr.txt

darkdragon-001 commented 5 years ago

@ekuester Can you please check if it works with the latest changes? Note that you have to rebuild the .mo files!

ekuester commented 5 years ago

@darkdragon-001 I loaded from your repository, I rebuild the .mo files and installed anew. Afterwards it worked flawlessly (apart from the known limitations) with translation functional. Only the description for the plugin has to be adjusted (missing german translation). BTW: Why do you disallow creating of issues in your repository? attached: markdown-preview.plugin.txt

sixtyfive commented 5 years ago

It seems at the moment this is the biggest problem:

https://github.com/andresriancho/w3af/issues/13635

Any chance the plugin will be updated to use something that is still maintained?

darkdragon-001 commented 5 years ago

@sixtyfive is this also true for WebKit2? Or is this version still maintained? If not, do you know any alternative?

MatejKovacic commented 4 years ago

For Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS this is the solution:

git clone -b webkit2 git@github.com:darkdragon-001/gedit-markdown.git
./gedit-markdown.sh install (if you have installed it before, you need to uninstall it first with ./gedit-markdown.sh uninstall
restart Gedit

MatejKovacic commented 4 years ago

And... maybe this should be written in the install section.

darkdragon-001 commented 4 years ago

I just released version 3 (preview) on https://github.com/darkdragon-001/gedit-markdown

Finished upgrade to WebKit2.WebView to run in modern OSes
Made Markdown plugins configurable in config file, enabled table of contents (TOC) support by default
- This allows integration of awesome plugins like the ones from PyMdown Extensions
Auto-update preview on active plugin activation, document load, document save, tab change, document edit and selection change (configurable in config file)
Relative links (including images) are working now!
_Known limitations Only files below the current file are allowed! (WebView policy) Fixed This is fixed when pymdown-extensions is installed (pip3 install pymdown-extensions)_
Scroll position is remembered on update
Default CSS style is set to Github Markdown, also applied in export-to-html
Add support to display HTML files
Fixed Tooltip on Wayland
Removed GtkSourceView stuff (color styles, language specs) (version 4 includes this out-of-the-box)
Remove web browser functionality

Most of the issues in this repository should be dealt with in this release. I enabled issues in my repository.

Please test the new plugin and give me feedback. Pull requests are always welcome!
