Content in ResourceCreationTask getting mangled on save [message #1829799]

I've started having a problem within the last month anytime I save an Oomph configuration with a resource creation task that the content field is moved from an attribute to it's own tag. That gets formatting applied which creates a broken XML file when the installer actually creates the file.

For example this task:
<setupTask
xsi:type="setup:ResourceCreationTask"
excludedTriggers="STARTUP MANUAL"
content="<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<state reopen="false"/>"
targetURL="${dir.git|uri}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.intro/introstate"
encoding="UTF-8"/>

Turns into this:
<setupTask
xsi:type="setup:ResourceCreationTask"
excludedTriggers="STARTUP MANUAL"
targetURL="${dir.git|uri}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.intro/introstate"
encoding="UTF-8">
<content>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<state reopen="false"/>
</content>
</setupTask>

I have tried to see if I accidentally set a generic XML format configuration change somewhere but nothing seems to retain the older behavior. I did a quick search on the forum and didn't see anything similar happening to anyone else.

This was intentionally changed:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=564016

Is this causing a problem?

Unfortunately it is. When it converts the contents down to the tag it also tries to format the contents (sorry I didn't use code tag on the first post). I'll fire up my test box again and do a clean install so I can figure out exactly what was breaking and report back.

    <setupTask
        xsi:type="setup:ResourceCreationTask"
        excludedTriggers="BOOTSTRAP"
        force="true"
        targetURL="${USERPROFILE|uri}/.eclipse/org.eclipse.oomph.setup.sync/sync.properties"

Ok, I found a good example. This is where I am defaulting some dialog options and it works fine until I let the newer Oomph editor redo the content data. In the new version the file gets generated with an extra blank line and everything is offset:


        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
        <section name="Workbench">
        	<section name="org.eclipse.ui.internal.QuickAccess">
        		<item value="755" key="dialogHeight"/>
        		<item value="1440" key="dialogWidth"/>

...

The attached image shows the file a little more clearly.

In Oomph we have a task to create the create JDT's dialog_settings.xml as well:

https://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/tree/setups/Oomph.setup#n195

And it creates proper results when I test it again just now.

I can also see that the value is correctly deserialized in the Properties view:

index.php/fa/38581/0/

The deserialization is done here:

https://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/tree/plugins/org.eclipse.oomph.base/src/org/eclipse/oomph/base/util/BaseResourceImpl.java#n146

You can see it computes indentation and strips it. Can I see how your serialized task looks in the *.setup? Perhaps just the trailing line break is missing on the last line of the resource's text and this breaks the indentation computation. In any case, something is not quite right with the serialization of your original value because of course serialization and subsequent deserialization should preserve the text value.

Did you want the content from the older version or newer version?
This is the newer version after it converted and the dialog from the Setup editor for the same content.

This was the content before conversion.

That all looks correct to me, and in fact your properties editing dialog shows the value is correct. If I copy the text of both tasks to my workspace.setup, and change them so I can perform them (to not perform only for BOOTSTRAP and the URI to somewhere on my local drive), both produce the expected correct results.

So I'm at a loss to reproduce the problem and for coming up with a theory for why you should see such a problem. Perhaps I'm missing something important between you copying and pasting text to the forum and me copying and pasting them into my setup.

Is it possible to attach a complete *.setup that reproduces the problem?

One way that I often test things is to do Navigate -> Open Setup -> Workspace. Any task one creates here will be performed, and that setup reproducing the problem you could attach...

I'm trying to get a reproducible example. However I think is that this is only happening from the Eclipse Installer, not when Oomph is run from inside the IDE. My suspicion now is that maybe it's because I'm using an older installer executable (from last year, 1.14.0).

Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way (or there is a easier way since I did it initially). Currently I'll download the eclipse-inst-win64.exe and extract the product zip from it. Then I use the product zip with a custom batch file to inject all my ini/setup files at runtime.

I suspect maybe I need to update my product.zip more frequently? Is there a way now to pickup all the customization without using extracted installer components?

Also, thank you for your help and all the work on Ooomph. It is amazing and has made my life so much simpler for keeping a consistent IDE for all our internal and external developers! :)

The self-extracting eclipse-inst-win64.exe itself handles command line arguments so likely you can launch it and specify what you need on the command line without a more complicated procedure.

The arguments may start with --debug; this is stripped off and produces trace information about how the extractor is extracting the components. The first argument can be -vm <location> ; this too is stripped off and that location is then used as the JVM. After that, all the arguments are passed to the product/application and all of the following applies:

https://help.eclipse.org/2020-06/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fmisc%2Fruntime-options.html

So you should, for example, be able to run eclipse-inst-win64.exe -name "PCI Eclipse Standard Tools Installer-eclipse.password" C:\PCI_Dev\source\SVN\ProjectEngineering\StandardTools\eclipse\config-gsms\master.key -vmargs -Dfoo=bar

Of course if you're repackaging this and wanting to redistribute a modified installer, that doesn't help so much...

It's still strange though because I don't see any significant changes in how the value is deserialized in BaseResourceImpl. But now that I say that, if the resource is loaded by an older version of the Setup model, one where the type of ResourceCreationTask.content is still EString and not Text, then the special handling doesn't kick in and the value, including the initial blank line and indentation, will be loaded. That must be what's happening...

Note that in advanced mode on the Configuration page, you can review the details of each and every task. So you can inspect the contents of the creation task to see if that already looks wrong; double click an attribute value to see the value in a dialog.
