Error while adding User Agents

[maxotek]

I receive an error while trying to add or edit User Agents.

you have an error in your pattern
File: /twatch/lib/Entity.php Line: 1365
Unknown modifier '/'
debug url: rec/rec_user_agents.php?a=change&i=1167&n=OOZBOT&p=%2FOOZBOT%5C%2F%2Fi
TwatchPatternedObject::getParamsData( [unknown] )
TwatchUserAgent::fromParams( [unknown], false )

This one turns up when I click on Apply (even without making any changes) on an existing User Agent which has a valid Regex pattern.

What version of TraceWatch are you using? using the latest version (0.332) I don't get the error message you are getting even when going directly to your debug url I get "nothing to change" message not an error. hopefully if you upgrade to latest version the error message will go away.

The same thing is happening to me, using 0.332 freshly installed for someone a couple of days ago. First happened when I tried to enter the simple pattern /spbot\//i then afterwards (because I was now puzzled) I clicked Apply on some existing patterns without making any changes and got the same error. For example:

you have an error in your pattern
File: /***/lib/Entity.php Line: 1365
Unknown modifier '/'
debug url: rec/rec_user_agents.php?a=change&i=1166&n=Butterfly&p=%2FButterfly%5C%2F%2Fi

It's the same for anything that has a \//i or \// at the end of the pattern.

The server is running PHP 5.2.9 and MySQL 4.1.22-standard.

I am using version 0.332.

you have an error in your pattern
File: /***/twatch/lib/Entity.php Line: 1365
Unknown modifier '|'
debug url: rec/rec_user_agents.php?a=change&i=7&n=Konqueror&p=%2F%5E(%3F%3AKonqueror%5C%2F%7CMozilla%5C%2F.%2B%5C(.%2BKonqueror.%2B%5C))%2Fi
TwatchPatternedObject::getParamsData( [unknown] )
TwatchUserAgent::fromParams( [unknown], false )

I get this error when trying "Apply Changes" to the in built Konqueror User-Agent, (again without any change to the existing pattern).

What is the full Debug URL?

[jeffw]

I'm still struggling with this. It's not recognising the regex characters properly. It's driving me round the bend :)

Hello,

When i try to add a Search Engines i receive this error each time:

you have an error in your pattern
File: /home/XXXXXXXXXX/public_html/twatch/lib/Entity.php Line: 1365
Unknown modifier '\'
debug url: rec/rec_search_engines.php?a=add&n=biba&p=%2F%5Ehttp%5C%3A%5C%2F%5C%2F.%2B%5C.biba%5C.com%5C%2F.%2B%5C%3F.*(%3F%3C%3D%26%7C%5C%3F)q%3D(%3FP%3Ckeyword%3E%5B%5E%26%5D%2B)%2Fi
TwatchPatternedObject::getParamsData( [unknown] )
TwatchSearchEngine::fromParams( [unknown], true )

For the test i used the same informations that for the bing search engine and only changed the name by biba :

/^http\:\/\/.+\.biba\.com\/.+\?.*(?<=&|\?)q=(?P<keyword>[^&]+)/i

Where is the error ? Or is a bug...

I use TraceWatch 0.332 on firefox 3.63 on, IE 8.0.6001.18904

This is odd, I can't recreate that error message on any of my own twatch installations, maybe it's a browser/javascript problem. What browser and which version are you using?

[jeffw]

For me it happens with both Safari 4.0.5 (6531.22.7) and Firefox 3.6.3 with Mac OS X 10.6.3.

[jeffw]

It also happens with Opera 10.53, iCab 4.7.0, and the new Safari 5.0 (6533.16).

I don't know if this will help:

If I enter the pattern /^plop\//i it complains Unknown modifier '/'.

If I enter the pattern /^plop\/i it is happy and adds that user agent, but the actual pattern it enters is /^plop\\/i (note the extra backslash added by TraceWatch) and it matches the user agent string plop\.

If I enter the pattern /^plop.com/i it is happy, adds that user agent and matches the user agent string plop.com.

If I enter the pattern /^plop\.com/i it is happy, adds that user agent and matches the user agent string plop\com but not the user agent string plop.com.
