htmlString don't work in julius

[jairoGilC]

Hi I have the following htmlString in the homepage.julius that work fine:

var i = 1;
var html = 
    '<div  class="form-group form-inline" >' +
      '<div class="form-group" >' + 
        '<div for="documentType' + i +'"> TD </div>' +
        '<select name="documentType' + i +'" id="documentType' + i +'" data-select="documentType' + i +'">' +
          '<option value="1">1'+
          '<option value="2">2'+
          '<option value="3">3'+
          '<option value="4">4'+
          '<option value="7">7'+
        '</select>'            +
        '<spam for="documentType' + i +'" id="documentType' + i +'Spam" class="help-block error-block">Error</spam>' +
      '</div>' +   

But when add any other tag, the autogen file It goes blank, so I copy and paste the code in the autogen File and work fine so I suppose that the error is in the julius parse.

var i = 1;
var html = 
    '<div  class="form-group form-inline" >' +
      '<div class="form-group" >' + 
        '<div for="documentType' + i +'"> TD </div>' +
        '<select name="documentType' + i +'" id="documentType' + i +'" data-select="documentType' + i +'">' +
          '<option value="1">1'+
          '<option value="2">2'+
          '<option value="3">3'+
          '<option value="4">4'+
          '<option value="7">7'+
        '</select>'            +
        '<spam for="documentType' + i +'" id="documentType' + i +'Spam" class="help-block error-block">Error</spam>' +
      '</div>' +     
         
      '<div class="form-group" >' +
        '<div for="documentNumber' + i +'"> Numero de documento </div>' +
        '<input type=number name="documentNumber' + i +'' + i +'" id="documentNumber' + i +'" data-int="documentNumber' + i +'">' +
        ' <spam for="documentNumber' + i +'" id="documentNumber' + i +'Spam" class="help-block error-block">Error</spam>' +
      '</div>' +   
    '</div>' ;

This seems to be the minifying, not actually julius. I have just reported an issue against language-javascript (erikd/language-javascript#58).

You should be able to circumvent it by breaking your expression for html into several shorter pieces. The problem is the complexity of the expression, and my testing suggests that the problem is the number of + i + groups - ie those which imply a conversion - not simply the number of plus signs.

[paul-rouse]

@jairoGilC Can you confirm that your original problem is fixed if you use language-javascript-0.6.0.9, please.

[jairoGilC]

@paul-rouse Thanks for all your help, in language-javascript-0.6.0.9 get the same error with the same expression

I'm a noob in Yesod and Haskell and maybe make a mistake, to test I change my .yaml with this:

resolver: lts-6.11
packages:
- '.'
extra-deps: 
  - language-javascript-0.6.0.9

and then run stack build but when test get the same problem the autogen File is empty

[paul-rouse]

@jairoGilC Yes, that is correct. I think you might have something old left behind, so could you please try again after:

• delete everything from static/tmp
• do stack clean before stack build

[jairoGilC]

@paul-rouse delete the contend of /tmp and with this comand the result is the same, I dont know if this is relevant but search language-javascript in all the proyect the only file where still can find a reference to the 6.0.8 version is in yesod-devel/ghcargs.txt

"-optl-Wl,-rpath,/home/pys/.stack/snapshots/x86_64-linux/lts-6.13/7.10.3/lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.10.3/language-javascript-0.6.0.8-2MPHWrz8iC2BlivMgOE8HE"

[paul-rouse]

@jairoGilC That is the version in the snapshot - the version you declare in extra-deps in stack.yaml goes into the .stack-work directory in the project, and overrides the snapshot one.

I am sorry to repeat this - are you absolutely sure you deleted the old static/tmp/autogen file?

[jairoGilC]

@paul-rouse I'm sure, this time delete the folder tmp not only the files but the result is the same

[paul-rouse]

@jairoGilC I still think something must be left over from when it wasn't working, I just don't know what! I was able to reproduce the problem you described originally, but for me it goes away when I rebuild with language-javascript-0.6.0.9 and delete the autogen file.

[jairoGilC]

I change the .yml to 0.6.0.8 and then to 0.6.0.9 again and yesod-devel/ghcargs.txt finally change, and the bug was fixed; thanks @paul-rouse for all your help

[paul-rouse]

@jairoGilC I am glad you got it working!
