[SOLVED] New issue since today

[MrMic]

when i try ls, now i got this issue:

.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/colorls-1.1.1/lib/colorls/flags.rb:38:in setlocale': error calling setlocale(1, "") (RuntimeError) from /Users/mic/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/colorls-1.1.1/lib/colorls/flags.rb:38:in process'

I am on Mac osx 10.13.6
=> brew info ruby
=> ruby: stable 2.5.1 (bottled), devel 2.6.0-preview2, HEAD

Thanks for fixing the issue.

Rgds,

[MrMic]

Seems to work with iTerm2 but not with HyperJS terminal.

[avdv]

Hi @MrMic, could you paste the output of running locale in HyperJS?

[MrMic]

Hi @avdv,

The output is:
$ locale
LANG="fr.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_ALL=

Thanks for the follow-up and toubleshooting.

[avdv]

Actually, that looks pretty normal.

Since you use rvm, do you have the same version of Ruby in iTerm2 and Hyper? (run ruby --version and which colorls)

Did you try re-installing colorls, or re-installing clocale?

[avdv]

Oh, and what does ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_CTYPE, "")' give in both iTerm and Hyper?

[MrMic]

In Iterm2:
ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_CTYPE, "s")'
-e:1:in setlocale': error calling setlocale(2, "s") (RuntimeError) from -e:1:in

'

In Hyper:
ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_CTYPE, "s")'
-e:1:in setlocale': error calling setlocale(2, "s") (RuntimeError) from -e:1:in

'

• Seems that your commands has something wrong ...

[avdv]

Yes, my bad. I did correct the error in the command already in the comment above, but maybe you copied it from the email? It should read:

ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_CTYPE, "")'

[MrMic]

No output in Iterm2 and HyperJS.

[avdv]

That's good news! But doesn't explain the error you get with colorls at all... 😲

Oh, 🤦‍♂️, that was the wrong constant. Could you retry with LC_COLLATE please:

ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_COLLATE, "")'

[MrMic]

In Iterm2 => Nothing
In Hyper =>
ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_COLLATE, "")'
-e:1:in setlocale': error calling setlocale(1, "") (RuntimeError) from -e:1:in

'

[avdv]

Weird. Do you have the exact same ruby interpreter at hand in iTerm2 and Hyper?

I have not much experience with rvm...

Why do you use such an old ruby version, 2.1.2 is no longer supported, even 2.2 support has ended?

[MrMic]

I just install the latest ruby with rvm:
ruby --version
ruby 2.2.1p85 (2015-02-26 revision 49769) [x86_64-darwin17]

And the results of your command line is:

• With Iterm2:
  ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_COLLATE, "")'
  /Users/mic/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in require': cannot load such file -- clocale (LoadError) from /Users/mic/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in require'

• With Hyper:
  ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_COLLATE, "")'
  /Users/mic/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in require': cannot load such file -- clocale (LoadError) from /Users/mic/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in require'

[avdv]

The latest Ruby should be 2.5.1, actually. What rvm command did you run?

However, since you freshly installed another Ruby version, you don't have the clocale gem installed yet. You need to run gem install clocale to do that before you can use it.

[MrMic]

I have used:
rvm install ruby --latest

And installed clocale (gem) , the same way you mentioned.
Results:

• With Iterm2: No output
• With Hyper:
  ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_COLLATE, "")'
  -e:1:in setlocale': error calling setlocale(1, "") (RuntimeError) from -e:1:in '

[avdv]

According to https://askubuntu.com/questions/330072/how-to-find-and-install-latest-ruby-version-using-rvm#comment1051298_505276 rvm install ruby --latest seems not always to install the latest version. I don't know what it's supposed to do, but maybe try rvm install 2.5 -- that should get you version 2.5.1. You could also try upgrading rvm itself.

Does ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_COLLATE, "C")' also result in an error in Hyper?

[MrMic]

OK, now installed and switched to ruby 2.5.1
To be sure, I have also reinstalled clocale and colorls, just in case ...
No output for Iterm2 and Hyper, for the command:

• ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_COLLATE, "C")'

• For the command: ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_COLLATE, "")'
  -> Iterm2: no output
  -> Hyper:
  ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_COLLATE, "")'
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  1: from -e:1:in <main>' -e:1:in setlocale': error calling setlocale(1, "") (RuntimeError)

I have also try ls (which is an alias for colorls ) :

• Iterm2: Still OK
• Hyper:
  6: from /Users/mic/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.1/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:24:in <main>' 5: from /Users/mic/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.1/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:24:in eval'
  4: from /Users/mic/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.1/bin/colorls:23:in <main>' 3: from /Users/mic/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.1/bin/colorls:23:in load'
  2: from /Users/mic/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.1/gems/colorls-1.1.1/exe/colorls:5:in <top (required)>' 1: from /Users/mic/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.1/gems/colorls-1.1.1/lib/colorls/flags.rb:38:in process'
  /Users/mic/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.1/gems/colorls-1.1.1/lib/colorls/flags.rb:38:in `setlocale': error calling setlocale(1, "") (RuntimeError)

Issue still not fixed ...

[avdv]

OK. That suggests there is indeed some difference in the environment which is causing that.

But according to your locale output above setlocale(LC_COLLATE, "") should actually have the same effect as setlocale(LC_COLLATE, "C") since LC_COLLATE is set to "C" on your machine. Maybe that does not work somehow?

Does ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_COLLATE, "fr.UTF-8")' work in both terminals?

Does LC_COLLATE=C ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_COLLATE, "")' work in both terminals?

What does locale output in iTerm2? Any differences?

According to https://stackoverflow.com/a/30198089/4432837

[...] as of Mac OS X 10.10.3, collation is still broken for Spanish and most European languages.

10.10.5 still broken.. – bodman Dec 8 '15 at 8:01
10.12.6 still broken – François Jul 28 '17 at 14:29

I wonder whether it is now fixed..?!

[avdv]

What happens if you change the “Set locale variables automatically” setting in iTerm2? (in iTerm2 go to: Profiles -> Terminal, click the checkbox, restart iterm afterwards) Does it show the same behavior as Hyper?

[MrMic]

1. For: ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_COLLATE, "fr.UTF-8")'

• Iterm2 and Hyper:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  1: from -e:1:in <main>' -e:1:in setlocale': error calling setlocale(1, "fr.UTF-8") (RuntimeError)

2. For: LC_COLLATE=C ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_COLLATE, "")'

• Both terminal have no output.

[MrMic]

The checkbox in Iterm2 was already checked !

[avdv]

The checkbox in Iterm2 was already checked !

OK, but I was asking you to change it. So, when you untick the box and restart iterm, does it show the same behaviour as Hyper? I would expect yes.

What is the output of locale in iTerm2 with the checkbox checked?

[avdv]

And what does locale -a | grep fr output? Is fr.UTF-8 listed?

[MrMic]

ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_COLLATE, "fr.UTF-8")'

• Both terminal report error:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  1: from -e:1:in <main>' -e:1:in setlocale': error calling setlocale(1, "fr.UTF-8") (RuntimeError)

LC_COLLATE=C ruby -r clocale -e 'CLocale.setlocale(CLocale::LC_COLLATE, "")'

• Both terminal report no error.

3. With checkbox no checked, locale report:
   LANG=
   LC_COLLATE="C"
   LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
   LC_MESSAGES="C"
   LC_MONETARY="C"
   LC_NUMERIC="C"
   LC_TIME="C"
   LC_ALL=

4. With checkbox checked, locale report:
   LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8"
   LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
   LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
   LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8"
   LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"
   LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8"
   LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
   LC_ALL=

** => Seems you are misspelling the locale ..., no ? **

[avdv]

** => Seems you are misspelling the locale ..., no ? **

I was just using what you gave me in your comment here: #203 (comment)

Try to set the locale in Hyper to fr_FR.UTF-8 like so:

export LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8

Does that work?

[MrMic]

yes it works.
Now what I have to do for, permanent usage?

[avdv]

Now what I have to do for, permanent usage?

Depends on the Shell you're using. Is it bash? Add this statement to your ~/.bashrc.

[avdv]

Maybe there's a setting in Hyper for this? Maybe it's a bug in Hyper that it does not correctly initialize the locale?

[MrMic]

That why I asked! Because I use zsh and know how to export environment variables ...
But I thought it was an issue with Hyper!
In my other terminal, i do NOT need to export such things in
order to use colorls!

I will search docs, web ...
Thanks for all anyway.

Rgds,

[avdv]

To debug, look at the output of defaults read -g AppleLocale. Maybe that gives you a hint. Good luck!

[avdv]

@MrMic FYI, here's a bug about your problem in Hyper: vercel/hyper#607

It should be fixed already in Hyper 2.1.0-canary.2 but see also here: vercel/hyper#3091

[MrMic]

@avdv
There is an env variable in Hyper config file: I used it for
this purpose, now all seems OK.
