wubi table not found

[sillykelvin]

My system is Archlinux, I install the package ibus-rime with pacman, and I copied the following files:

cp /usr/share/rime-data/wubi86.dict.yaml ~/.config/ibus/rime/
cp /usr/share/rime-data/wubi86.schema.yaml ~/.config/ibus/rime/

Also, I added - schema: wubi86 to schema_list in default.yaml, however, when I choose wubi input, I cannot type any Chinese character, and I find the following errors in /tmp/rime.ibus.ERROR:

E1224 11:30:41.592962   396 mapped_file.cc:112] attempt to open non-existent file '/home/xxx/.config/ibus/rime/wubi86.table.bin'.

E1224 11:30:41.594408   396 reverse_lookup_dictionary.cc:43] Error opening reversedb '/home/xxx/.config/ibus/rime/wubi86.reverse.bin'

It complains that the table cannot be found, I searched /usr/share/rime-data/ and other related places, and cannot find such files.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Kelvin

I guess I need to configure wubi86.dict.yaml as my dictionary, but I have no idea how to do this...

執行這個看看： rime_deployer --build ~/.config/ibus/rime /usr/share/rime-data/

[sillykelvin]

Yeah, thanks for your great help! After this command, the required binary files are created! and after restart ibus I can use wubi now!

Really appreciate your help, 谢谢!

In case you missed it, this guide documents the proper way to deploy data: https://github.com/rime/home/wiki/CustomizationGuide#%E9%87%8D%E6%96%B0%E4%BD%88%E7%BD%B2%E7%9A%84%E6%93%8D%E4%BD%9C%E6%96%B9%E6%B3%95

Thanks for your great help, I have read the wiki pages, I just cannot figure out how to generate the bin files...

After that, I tried several times, and figured out that if I put the new schema in default.yaml, nothing happens if I restart ibus, but if I put it in default.custom.yaml and delete default.yaml, after ibus restarted, the bin files are automatically generated. I thought that there are no difference between the two, but now it seems there is a big difference in the back.

I suggest that we might make it clear in the wiki: modification to default.yaml is STRONGLY NOT recommend, all customizations should go into xxx.custom.yaml.

@kelvinh The point is not where you put your new schema, but whether you delete default.yaml.

The reason why you can do this trick is that on program start, Rime performs a quick test to see if the user copy of default.yaml is the newest version, in order to rebuild data files when Rime itself has been upgraded. But I didn't design this to be the way how users manually deploy data.

I said to delete default.yaml, because when default.yaml is missing, Rime would assume that it's the first time you start Rime, and an initial deployment is needed.

Also, changes to default.custom.yaml happen to update the version number in default.yaml. So when the user enables a new schema via default.custom.yaml, Rime detects this change and acts as if there is an upgrade.

But when you edit default.yaml directly, the program is not able to tell that you've made any changes, because there is no previous copy to compare to.

Okay, thanks for your great explanation, it's clear now, and thanks for your great input method engine!
