500 errors when navigating tree with multiple levels, blog-style

[candlerb]

How to reproduce (starting with olelo rev ca375f49)

• rm -rf .wiki
• start unicorn
• Create new page with path /Blog/2010/12/23/test
• Navigate to http://localhost:8080/Blog. This correctly shows 2010 as a child.
• Click on 2010, and you get a server failure (error 500) Unicorn log just shows: 127.0.0.1 - - [23/Dec/2010 11:12:58] "GET /Blog/2010 HTTP/1.1" 500 - 0.0200

Same occurs if you try to use the tree view in the sidebar. Clicking on the folder '2010' does nothing, and the unicorn log shows a 500 error.

• Additional problem: there is no backtrace shown. Even setting 'production: false' doesn't give any more info either on the console or in the browser. So I have no idea where to start looking in the code for where this exception was raised.

Note that http://localhost:8080/Blog/2010/12 has the same problem, but http://localhost:8080/Blog/2010/12/23 shows its child correctly.

Platform: ubuntu 10.10, stock ruby 1.8.7p299

Side issue: I also can't get the blog renderer to work. I can't render /Blog/2010/12 (see above), but if I try to create it, it says "Path is reserved"

The blog feature works a bit different currently. Create a folder /blog with the articles in it. /blog/year and /blog/month are automatically mapped to a filtered view of /blog. The log file is in .wiki/log. Does this help you?

Many thanks for your very rapid response!

I started again (rm -rf .wiki) Created page /blog/foobar with one-line content, set type text/x-markdown

I can browse to /blog and /blog/foobar, but /blog/2010 gives a 500 error. Looking in .wiki/log, the error is:

E, [2010-12-23T11:40:25.553105 \#16539] ERROR -- : undefined method `GET /' for #<Olelo::Application:0x7fe9e7aa7890> (NoMethodError)

/v/git/olelo/lib/olelo/routing.rb:124:in `route!'
/v/git/olelo/lib/olelo/hooks.rb:51:in `with_hooks'
...

I get the same error trying to access /blog/2010/12

If I try to access /blog/2010/12/23 then I get redirected to /new/blog/2010/12/23 (i.e. it wants me to create a page under that URL)

Final point: I didn't set the posting date anywhere on the 'foobar' page. Is there some metadata to set, or is it implied from when the page was committed?

There was a change which broke the blog plugin. Sorry for that. Fixed in 540be330419b321cd6d28cb53a7c039f11698692

Please let me know if it works

Getting better, and no 500 errors, but I don't think it's there yet.

I create two entries, /blog/wibble and blog/bibble

If I go to /blog/2010 or /blog/2010/12 then the page looks like this:

Root
blog
a minute ago written by localhost.localdomain          Full Article

And "Full Article" just links to /blog

So this "listing" appears to list only the blog itself, rather than the individual articles.

pushed some other fixes. Works here:

Yay, thank you :-)

I notice there is code for a blog menu, but I can't see how to make use of it.

Also, it would be nice to have some indication when an article has been truncated (e.g. indicate "more...") but I can probably hack that myself.

[minad]

The Full Article links are only shown if the article is truncated.

[candlerb]

The Full Article links are only shown if the article is truncated.

That's not how it works for me when I test it. For example, a one line article renders as:

wibble
23 hours ago  written by localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1)
Hello world!                                      Full Article

And if I look in the blog.rb, @articles builds an array of [page, content] and there's no indication whether a particular content item has been truncated or not.

Ah ok. Please contribute a patch if you want to have some improvements. Thx for the report.
