How should one report GitLab CI bugs?
by Francois Gouget 18 Jan '23

18 Jan '23

How should one report GitLab CI bugs? I'm thinking of two types of bugs. 1. Wine test bugs that specifically happen on the GitLab CI infrastructure. See for instance bug 54334 which describes a set of qasf:asfreader failures that has, so far, only been seen in the Linux GitLab CI. I'm thinking some Wine developers may be particularly interested in getting such bugs fixed and thus would want to have a way to find them. Would a 'gitlabci' or just 'ci' keyword be appropriate? 2. Bugs and missing features in the GitLab CI infrastructure itself. For instance the failures that gitlab-win10-21h2 gets in the ole32:clipboard, riched20:richole and user32:msg tests strongly suggest that the AMD driver was installed with its Adrenalin GUI. Since it is known to interfere with the clipboard this could be considered a bug in that Windows 10 VM configuration. (Alternatively one could argue the tests should be modified to be resistant to such interference which would move this issue to the first category.) Which product should one pick in Bugzilla for reporting such bugs? They would not fit in 'Wine' product or any of the other existing products except 'Wine-Testbot' if one considers the GitLab CI to be the new TestBot (though I think that would be quite confusing). -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)codeweavers.com>

FOSDEM 2023
by Henri Verbeet 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

This year FOSDEM will once again take place in Brussels, on February 4 and 5. The Wine project won't have an official presence at the conference this year, but a (modest) number of us do intend to visit Brussels during that time. Is anyone else already planning to attend this year? Like previous conferences, you'll be able to find most of us in the #wineconf:matrix.org Matrix room. Henri

HiDPI / Scaling window content
by Jordan Johnston 06 Jan '23

06 Jan '23

Hey all, I'm looking for some pointers on coming up with a hack to better support HiDPI with wine on my hi-res display (not something that would be submitted upstream. "hack" indeed)... As you are all probably aware; while you can adjust DPI in Winecfg, that only affects Windows UI elements ~ but It does not help with anything outside of that... I have some apps that are basically unusable with HiDPI and i've tried multiple solutions, to no avail. (and setting my resolution to 1440x900 isn't a viable solution either). I've been poking around dlls/winex11.drv and I'm wondering if anyone might have pointers on how some of the scale related stuff works? -- I'm wondering if it may be possible to hack the x11 code to multiply the scale of the window contents? (and perhaps, I can then wrap it in an env variable for use)... If anyone has any pointers, or if they think something like this could work -- I'd appreciate your insights (again, I'm just looking for kind of a one-off hack, not something upstream-able.. I'm sure HiDPI compatibility-mode will land upstream, at some point (Windows has this)). While I am familiar with some of Wine's internals - the graphics stack, window management / x11 code is somewhat alien to me. Alternatively, i suppose if someone is working on related code and has a git branch / patchwork available, I'd be open to try that out too. Thanks, and Happy New Year to you all! Jordan

CPython fails to import symlinked packages in recent versions of Wine Staging - how to debug?
by Sebastian M. Ernst 28 Dec '22

28 Dec '22

Hi all, I have noticed a "new" issue in Wine Staging that I believe must have found its way into it in the October to November time frame. I am heavily using CPython on top of Wine. When Python imports modules, it looks for them in certain paths, specified in `sys.path`. For development, it is common practise to symlink a package's folder from e.g. a git repo into one of the folders contained in `sys.path`, usually `site-packages`. Python then happily imports the module from there for e.g. testing. Many tools are built around this workflow. This used to work with Wine Staging until about September and still works with stable releases of Wine 7. However, in recent versions of Wine Staging, 7.22 and 8.0-rc2, the import fails: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "Z:\work\bar\__init__.py", line 1, in <module> from .subbar import funcbar ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bar.subbar' ``` Python's module import mechanism appears to follow the symlink correctly (into module "bar") but fails to "locate" stuff within the linked folder (submodule "bar.subbar"). Other Python code can at least correctly navigate the linked folder's contents, so I am suspecting a `stat` syscall of some kind to return unusual values. Python's import mechanism was rewritten recently, so only versions prior to Python 3.10 appear to be affected. Many packages support down to 3.7 at the moment. A minimal reproducer, all steps included: https://gist.github.com/s-m-e/84d5fbf5663825a46d9ae98e4636d8ec Wine builds from dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu on Ubuntu 22.04. I am not sure what I am looking for. How would I debug this from Wine's side or, in other words, what am I looking for in Wine's logs? Is there something that I can try as a workaround (other than going back to older versions of Wine)? Thanks, Sebastian

UIRibbon 2022 Edition
by Fabian Maurer 18 Dec '22

18 Dec '22

Hello wine-devel, trying to get more work done on UiRibbon during the holidays, could need some help regarding planning though. Short rundown: uiribbon.dll uses a proprietary binary format to load ribbon structure data. This is created using UICC.exe (shipped by windows SDK) from a XML markup; the binary is embedded into the application. I already reversed the binary format pretty far, and wrote a file format description. That file format description uses Kaitai Struct, a declarative language to generate binary data parsers. Currently I'm working on a Kaitai backend to generate a C parser. I'm probably going to create a folder under "libs" called "uiribbon" where said description and classes generated by kaitai struct (and the runtime) can lie. I do believe that leaving the parser/generation up to Kaitai is a good idea, especially since Wine itself doesn't need to rely on Kaitai. Just need it to regenerate the parser if the format description is modified. I hope that's not a problem, because I really want to go the Kaitai Struct route. The problem: Still not sure how to deal with tests. And if we need to use a writer.. I could make a "custom UICC", a program to turn XML markup into the binary format. Not really useful for applications, but could be a "nice to have" or useful for tests. Lots of work though. Problem 1: Windows doesn't ship UICC by default. That means if we need it for tests, it needs to be installed, or tests won't be able to run. Problem 2: Windows doesn't really have a parser exposed for the binary markup. You can load it and it either works, or doesn't - in the worst case the application simply crashes. Other error cases simply create a broken ribbon, only displayed completely in black. Not easy to see what's wrong, or test if it's wrong to begin with. Although it should probably be possible to extract existing UI elements using uiautomation. Not sure exactly how useful it is. Question is how we do the tests: 1) Put markup and according binaries into the tests, write tests against the binaries to assert what we expect from the written markup. If I recall correctly, embedding binary blobs wasn't too well received. 2) Put markup into tests. Compile it on windows using real UICC, test the parser that way (using something like C_SRCS = ../uiribbon_parser.c to have the parser available in the tests) 3) Compile markup using custom UICC, test the ribbon against windows (using uiautomation, limited testing only). Maybe some combination. Thoughts? Regards, Fabian Maurer
