Few questions:

1. Does this happen for any text you enter in the search box?
2. And in every chat you search in?
3. How was Skyperious installed?

[1337-537h]

1. No
2. Νο
3. I installed the latest Skyperious 5.1 x64 (not the portable).

[suurjaak]

What was the search query that produced the error?

[1337-537h]

Greek letters/words
But in previous versions the problem wasn't there.

[suurjaak]

Can you give a specific instance of a query that raises error? Trying with Greek or Cyrillic or Kanji letters myself works successfully.

[1337-537h]

First example: "νομιζω ειχα πεθάνει"

[suurjaak]

Does the message itself display fine in chat history, the message that contains this text?

Can you give the contents of the matching message?

[1337-537h]

The message appears itself fine in the history but not when im trying to search the keywords.

[suurjaak]

Can you give the contents of the matching message?

[1337-537h]

no, can i help you differently?

[suurjaak]

A round of 20 questions, then :)

1. What happens when you search for any of those words individually?
2. Where in the message text do these words occur? Beginning, end, in between?
3. How long is the message itself? Is it an ordinary message? Are there some unusual characters in the message, neither Latin nor Greek alphabet? Is there some very long string of characters in the text?
4. What happens when you search for something else that this message contains?

[1337-537h]

everything is normal no big text in every line nothing special..
But the log (main.db) are big 200MB 300MB..
characters are greek and english (latin)
some searches return results some return the error i post above.

[suurjaak]

Can you respond to questions 1 and 4?

[1337-537h]

1. If i search ειχα the error come up, but if i search "είχα" then no problem appears.
   its not the same im just saying..
   4.I thing always error again.

[suurjaak]

Difficult to track this problem down without specific information..

Can you try the following:

• open a database in Skyperious
• open the Python console (menu Help -> Show Python console)
• in the console, execute the following statements one by one:

dc = wx.MemoryDC()

dc.SetFont(wx.Font(8, wx.FONTFAMILY_SWISS, wx.FONTSTYLE_NORMAL,
           wx.FONTWEIGHT_NORMAL, faceName=conf.HistoryFontName))

width = page.html_searchall.Size.width * 5 // 9

from wx.lib.wordwrap import wordwrap

And then see what are the results when you try invoking the following statement with different texts:

wordwrap("YOURTEXT", width, dc)

[1337-537h]

Is that correct?
error still there.

[suurjaak]

And now replace YOURTEXT with the contents of the message, whole and different parts of it, to see when and how the error occurs.

[1337-537h]

Im not sure if i did it correctly.

[suurjaak]

You need to put the text in quotes, like

wordwrap("ειχα", width, dc)

[suurjaak]

@1337-537h Are you still interested in getting this resolved?

[1337-537h]

sure but i can do nothing.

[suurjaak]

Well, what were the results of trying #108 (comment) ?

[1337-537h]

I think i did that when you told me and i reply you what happend.

[suurjaak]

In #108 (comment) I gave further guidance on how to test the different parts of the problematic text.

[suurjaak]

Can you identify a minimal text that raises this error, and that you are willing to share?

[1337-537h]

I remember that happens when i search this word "ειχα"
But that appears in so many entries. The main.db file is over 300mb.

[suurjaak]

I think you misunderstood the guidance. After the from wx.lib.wordwrap import wordwrap, you should now write

wordwrap("ειχα", width, dc)

Replacing ειχα with the message text that is causing this error. Does it raise the error here also?

[1337-537h]

same thing after that too.

Ok, how about you try this:

• open a database in Skyperious
• open the Python console (menu Help -> Show Python console)
• in the console, execute the following statements one by one:

wordwrap_original = wx.lib.wordwrap.wordwrap

def wordwrap_logged(text, width, dc, breakLongWords=True, margin=0):
    try: return wordwrap_original(text, width, dc, breakLongWords, margin)
    except Exception as e:
        main.logger.info("ERROR WRAPPING %r: %s", text, e)
        raise

wx.lib.wordwrap.wordwrap = wordwrap_logged

And then try searching again with a text that raises error. This will print the exact problematic text to the Skyperious log window (menu Help -> Show log window).

[1337-537h]

I didn't spot any difference..

[suurjaak]

You seemed to have missed pasting the last line:

wx.lib.wordwrap.wordwrap = wordwrap_logged

[1337-537h]

What you mean?
I did it, you can see it in the sreenshot.
I did it and its the same as the above screen.

In Python console i put:

1. wordwrap_original = wx.lib.wordwrap.wordwrap
2. def wordwrap_logged(text, width, dc, breakLongWords=True, margin=0):
   try: return wordwrap_original(text, width, dc, breakLongWords, margin)
   except Exception as e:
   main.logger.info("ERROR WRAPPING %r: %s", text, e)
   raise
3. wx.lib.wordwrap.wordwrap = wordwrap_logged
4. search the keyword ειχα then the error come up and i open the log and take the screenshot.

[suurjaak]

Right, it's there, but it should be on a separate line - in the screenshot it has become part of the wordwrap_logged function definition.

[1337-537h]

How do to that?
I don't know how..

[suurjaak]

Just copy-paste the blocks one by one, pressing Enter a few times in between. First:

wordwrap_original = wx.lib.wordwrap.wordwrap

Then:

def wordwrap_logged(text, width, dc, breakLongWords=True, margin=0):
    try: return wordwrap_original(text, width, dc, breakLongWords, margin)
    except Exception as e:
        main.logger.info("ERROR WRAPPING %r: %s", text, e)
        raise

And then:

wx.lib.wordwrap.wordwrap = wordwrap_logged

[1337-537h]

The trick was to press enter two times in the second command.
But i didn't notice any diference..

[suurjaak]

Can you show a more complete screenshot of the log window?

[1337-537h]

https://i.imgur.com/CIz9ACo.png

[suurjaak]

Ok, so the error information gets logged now.

Can you show me the precise value that got ERROR WRAPPING?

[1337-537h]

nooo.. its just a greek text.. is there any other way that can i help you?

[suurjaak]

Is all of it Greek text? If not, you can replace Greek letters with X.

[1337-537h]

Thats another greek word that popup the same error that i can share the screenshot.
https://i.imgur.com/9VmA6xx.png

I search for the word "τεστ" (test in greek)

[suurjaak]

Aha, got it. The problem comes up with text emoticons.

Thank you, this gives me enough information to try fixing it.

[1337-537h]

Good news finally.

[suurjaak]

Should be fixed in the newly released v5.2 - can you confirm?

[suurjaak]

Problem should be solved, no more feedback for 2 weeks - closing issue.
