Bug Description

Binary package hint: gourmet

[I'm reporting this bug using the command "ubuntu-bug gourmet" and I'm not sure if it's going to work. When Apport finished, it opened Launchpad to an address at "https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gourmet/+filebug/" with about 30 gibberish characters on the end and the message "Lost something? There’s no page with this address in Launchpad. Check that you entered the address correctly." I kept that tab open in Firefox, but navigated away. When I hit the Back button to get back to it it appeared to be working. I tried this a couple times, and sure enough, upon first hit an Apport-generated bug report at Launchpad doesn't work, but navigating away and coming back does. Course, I don't know what this is going to look like when I'm done and I'll go try to find where to report this behavior, too.]

So the Gourmet Recipe Manager Ingredient Key Editor comes up empty. Attempting to search for an ingredient key returns no results and adjusting parameters doesn't appear to help. The thing's just empty.

I have added 4 recipes so far and typing in the "Ingredient (key)" field of a particular recipe brings up ingredient keys that begin with whatever is typed. In addition, I've successfully added ingredient keys by typing things into this field and saving a recipe. When I then type the first few letters of an ingredient key that I've created, it shows up, so I know these things are being saved.

Please let me know if I can provide any more info.

Also, less importantly, the "Close" button doesn't work in the Ingredient Key Editor. The close button (the X) still works fine, as does selecting "Close" from the context menu of the program representation (sorry, don't know what this is called) on the GNOME panel at the bottom (taskbar-type-area).

Thank you for reporting this issue. Did you previously have a version of gourmet installed that you got from sources outside of the Ubuntu repository?

Rolf,

Thanks for taking a look. No, I didn't install anything beforehand and haven't altered the installation since.

Thank you for reporting back.

Please try out https://launchpad.net/%7Er0lf/+archive/+files/gourmet_0.14.3-1_all.deb and see if that works.

It is generally a good idea to stick to "one issue, one report". The problem with Launchpad itself you were experiencing is bug 311690. You should open a separate report about the close button not working.

Rolf,

New bug report created for the "Close" button issue at bug 316445.

Thanks a lot for the link to bug 311690. I'll watch the drama unfold from there.

After installing this gourmet_0.14.3-1_all.deb I saw no change at all in the Ingredient Key Editor. I don't know if there's a log file I can include for more information, but if I run gourmet from gnome-terminal it generates some messages that refer to "keyEditorPlugin.py".

I ran "aptitude purge gourmet", then "aptitude install gourmet" to start over w/what's in the repositories. (I did this on a hunch, choosing aptitude because I've read good things about it over apt & I used "purge" to attempt to clean all traces of 0.14.3-1_all out of the system.)

I then ran "gourmet > ~/Documents/gourmet 0.14.0-1ubuntu2.txt" to produce a copy of what I was seeing in the terminal. I opened the Ingredient Key Editor while gourmet was up. Afterwards, I reinstalled 0.14.3-1_all & redirected the output to "gourmet 0.14.3-1_all.txt", opening the Editor again while gourmet was up. For some reason, this second time didn't seem to duplicate what I saw in the terminal to the text file. Don't yet know why not. There's a chance the first time wasn't an exact duplicate either & I didn't notice, but there was much more information so I didn't think to check.

Thomas, can you please comment if this bug should be fixed in 0.14.5?

From the releasenotes for 0.14.5:

"This version also fixes the key editor plugin, which has been broken throughout the 0.14.x series of releases. "

So yes, should work.
