New version of PaleMoon browser, Gunnersson reported in again with the same problem.

Cannot index into a null array.
palemoon\tools\Get-UrlFromFosshub.ps1 line 13 char 3

Is someone able to run a 64 bit vm? Perhaps there's a difference between 64 and 32 bit. It used to work but I've not been able to test on 64 bit arch, which reporter used.

cinst palemoon -debug

This scrolls like the matrix when trying to learn something from -debug.
I am not Neo, this isn't helping.
@TomOne do you have any suggestions?

from chocolatey-packages.

The error was caused by accessing a non-array here: https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey-coreteampackages/blob/86b9fa09890ef0a40cbb288f4d3be6fd874537ac/automatic/palemoon/tools/Get-UrlFromFosshub.ps1#L12-L13

The 32-bit URL of the package (http://relmirror.palemoon.org/release/palemoon-25.3.2.win32.installer.exe) is not a FossHub-URL, so there were no regex matches.

I made the function more robust when used with non-FossHub URLs: ff484e0

The fixed package is released: https://chocolatey.org/packages/palemoon/25.3.2.20150501

@Redsandro, that matrix-style scrolling is the UTF-8 representation of the binary exe file downloaded from http://relmirror.palemoon.org/release/palemoon-25.3.2.win32.installer.exe, which the function downloaded in https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey-coreteampackages/blob/86b9fa09890ef0a40cbb288f4d3be6fd874537ac/automatic/palemoon/tools/Get-UrlFromFosshub.ps1#L20. This won’t happen again with my fix. 😄

Ah thank you!

from chocolatey-packages.

I'm not sure that the function is currently working - I'm getting 403 Forbidden Error for the FossHub link.

I've posted on Pastebin a relevant snippet of the log file (I tried to attach it here but I got "we can't process that file" error). What happened is that

• downloading the 64-bit version (hosted on FossHub) failed
• the 32-bit version installed successfully
• the output says "The install of palemoon was NOT successful"
• palemoon doesn't show up when executing choco list -l

I'm thinking that it might be easier to simply use the direct relmirror.palemoon.org links. Unless there's some catch that I'm not aware of.

Hi @i-give-up, sorry for getting back on this so late.

I can't work on this right now and the latency in getting PRs checked and merged in this core team packages repository is larger than my attention-span. Maintenance of my packages is in abeyance.

Do you want to take over as maintainer?

from chocolatey-packages.

Unfortunately I know too little about Chocolatey to be a package maintainer. I only started using it for about a week or so.

from chocolatey-packages.

Fair enough. Since you said 32 bit installs correctly, and 64 bit is hosted on relmirror too, I've updated ketarin to reflect your changes.

@gep13 are changes to ketarin .xml in Master automatically picked up by the ketarin machine? Or does someone need to import it?

from chocolatey-packages.

@Redsandro when I last looked at it, it was a manual process, but I seem to remember that @ferventcoder had a script that could be used to import the xml files from the repo on each ketarin run. Not sure if that ever got implemented or not though.

from chocolatey-packages.

@gep13 Can you do this for this palemoon package? Or who do I need to @mention?

from chocolatey-packages.

How long does this change take to propagate?

I just tried choco install palemoon again and it is still trying and failing to get the 64-bit installer from fosshub. And I'm still seeing the old chocolateyInstall.ps1 on palemoon's Chocolatey page.

from chocolatey-packages.

I have no power over this. I think @gep13 @TomOne and @ferventcoder can do this. Otherwise it will happen automatically when a new version of palemoon comes out.
