Editing Docs adds unwanted additional newlines #301

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. google docs edit --title myDoc --editor vim
2. save document
3. google docs edit --title myDoc --editor vim

For every chunk of blank newlines, an additional newline is added.

For example iniitially:
paragraph 1

paragraph 2

paragraph 3

After saving:
paragraph 1

paragraph 2

paragraph 3

Every save continued to add a line to these chunks of newlines.

This problem occurs for me in both nano(2.0.6) and vim(7.2) on os x 10.6.4

gdata 2.0.12
googlecl 0.9.10

The problem is most likely Docs and vim/nano disagreeing what exactly 
constitutes a blank line. This is pretty obnoxious, but it might be a while 
before I can find what the problem is.

I've got exactly the same problem uploading txt files.

It seems that the problem is in the Docs side when converting text files. It 
also happens when uploading text files through docs.google.com with the 
"convert" option checked. The converter seems to do the following replacements:

\n  => \r\n 
\r\n => \r\n\r\n 
\r =>  \r\n

A simple testcase to reproduce in Ubuntu:

printf "a\r\nb" > test_rn.txt
hexdump -c test_rn.txt
# a\r\n b
google docs delete test_rn
google docs upload test_rn.txt
# Visit the link returned to see a new blank line
rm test_rn.txt
google docs get --title test_rn --dest .
hexdump -c test_rn.txt
# a\r\n\r\nb 
# And so on..

From here it's possible to avoid this issue converting all the \r\n occurrences 
to \n for text files before uploading/updating to Docs.

Thanks for the detailed test, Ferran.

I can't reproduce this behavior anymore -- looks like the problem has been 
fixed on Docs's end.  Is anyone else having this problem?

It works for me. That's great.

As a side note: the opposite problem seems to occur now. See Issue 372.

I'm also seeing this problem.  This is on Ubuntu 10.10 with googlecl 0.9.13-1 
and gdata-2.0.14.  A fix would be a great help.

Would it be possible to reopen this?  I am still getting this issue on both 
Arch Linux and Fedora 19.

Arch versions:
googlecl 0.9.14
gdata 2.0.18
vim 7.4

Fedora versions:
googlecl 0.9.14
gdata 2.0.17
vim 7.4

This occurs both for editing an existing document and uploading a new document. 
 I am pretty sure this is happening on the Docs side when it converts the 
plain-text format to the Docs format.

I should also note that if I select all -> clear formatting it removes the 
extra newlines.
